Subject: Distribution Transformers Committee Meeting Budget 

Dear Ms. Johnson,

                                                I little surprised to know that ONYX and other participant in the meeting have

to pay for  use of the meeting room, coffee and meals. All the meetings I attend that includes

organizations like NEMA, UL, CSA and IEC to name a few, meeting attendants never paid for the meeting

rooms or coffee and bottled water. The lunch was either provided free or participants bought their own

lunch. There may be few other participants like me who may have restrictions as to what they eat due to

health reasons or some other reasons.  First of all we are volunteering our time free of charge and our

sponsors are paying hefty price for our travel and the stay. I certainly do not wish burden my company

with another expense of $ 155.

                                                                I will be out of U.S.A. to attending IEC meeting and other business

from October 19th through November 13th.   

                                                                                                                                                                                            

      With Kind Regards,

Subject: Distribution Transformers Committee Meeting Budget 

Dear Distribution Transformer Stakeholders,

My name is Caitlin Johnson and I have been working with Richard Parker at Navigant Consulting to help

organize the series of meetings that you will be attending as part of the upcoming negotiated

rulemakings on distribution transformers.  As you know, the first meetings are going to be held this

month (later this week for the MV group, and towards the end of the month for the LV group).  I am

currently working on finding appropriate times and locations for the remainder of the meetings.  

Although we were able to book space with DOE for many of them, there are still a few dates for which

we have not been able to reserve space in DOE, so we have been searching for outside facilities instead.

One of the spaces that is available to us on one of our necessary dates, Nov. 9‐11th, is the conference

center at Pew Charitable Trust in downtown DC.  I have drawn up a tentative budget, attached to this

email, for booking the Center.  The budget breaks down the tentative price by organization, based on

which committees they participate in and how many people they are sending.  It also includes a

potential pro‐rated price, in which the cost for nonprofit organizations is halved (though, of course, all of

this can be negotiated).   

Please let me know what you think of this budget and whether it seems appropriate, because we need

to book a space for this meeting as soon as possible.  Additionally, if you know of any other spaces that

may be available to us (either for this date, Nov. 9‐11th, or some date in early December), please let me

know!  We would be eager to hear your suggestions!

Best,

Caitlin Johnson
