Subject: Globlalization issues

Hello Jeff, the purpose for this message is to bring attention to my firm, SDL International.
Big admirer of what Enron and you  have done in the broadband sector and would like to prove the value of my firm to Enron.
SDL is by far, one of the largest, market leaders in the Globalization industry for Fortune 500 companies who must have a global presence via the web to their targeted customers.
SDL is based in the UK, (US HQ in Plano, TX), with offices in over 26 countries and employing over 730.
We are publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, been in business for  10 years and the only vendor in this space that is profitable.
I'd like to speak with you or a direct report about the potential of working with Enron for your globalization needs.
Certainly you  understand the extreme difficulties and expense you may face in maintaining consistent content and branding across your multiple, multi-lingual websites.
SDL is a leading globalization infrastructure and services firm that can streamline those issues while positively impacting the bottom line.
Our services span from Internationalization (both web and software), technology (Webflow and ETS), professional services and worldwide translation services, all developed and orchestrated to work as a single, seamless effort.
Surely Enron handles alot of this already but could the current process be made more cost effective as well as expediting or increasing international revenue from foreign markets?
SDL also offers ETS, a real time translation product that allows for instant, multi lingual messaging, email, web based customer support, etc...
Product currently has a significant installed base of clients, in particular, a joint effort between EDS and the FAA for global emails to pilots and airports, as well as being used at Lucent as an internal communications tool.
Again, this type of technology would be use solely for content/info.
one would not normally localize or translate.
ETS Webflow, which will further seperate us from the other static in the Globalization industry.
I look forward to any suggestions you may have on how and with whom to proceed further with.
Thanks again for your time and have a great day.
Regards,
Subject: New Forum

It was determined by a vote of the Forum Moderators at our meeting May 8th to form a new Forum (Forum VIII).
This decision was based on the current Forum membership (81); the number of new members wishing to participate; and the number of prospective members currently in process.
The new Forum affords a unique opportunity for existing members.
In an effort to blend the experience of new members with seasoned Forum members, we are looking for the following:      a)	A member who wishes to change Forums      b)	Current Forum member having 3 years or less      eligibility remaining in YPO who would like to      help mentor an additional Forum.
We are considering that this may give a member the opportunity to interact with other Houston YPOers or perhaps re-invigorate an individual's Forum experience.
If you have any interest, please contact me by May 22nd.
Please know that all questions, thoughts, or expressions of interest will be held by me in strict confidence.
By way of process, the new Forum will participate in the draw with the other Forums who have indicated they need members.
They will select first in the order.
We trust that this process will give the new Forum an immediate opportunity to be successful.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Subject: Talking Points - AT&T

Attendees:  AT&T:  David Dorman,  President of AT&T (bio points below)  Enron:  Jeff Skilling, Stewart Seeligson, David Cox  Adventis: Partha Ghosh, Andy Belt and Mark Bruneau (via telephone)   Background:  As you well know, over the last 9 months EBS has made substantial efforts to establish a significant commercial relationship with AT&T.
Thus far, there have been no transactions between EBS and AT&T other than a couple dozen of circuit purchases by us mostly local loop.
Previously, our primary senior point of contact with AT&T has been Frank Ianna (President of Network Services).
It is probable that Ianna brought only the typical legacy perspective which prevented him from seeing how we could facilitate the AT&T business from a wholesale relationship.
They seemed to only want to sell us services.
Adventis advises us that Ianna now reports to David Dorman and that Dorman should be able to better understand the value that EBS can bring to further his business objectives.
It is my understanding that it will only be Dorman at the meeting (he is supposedly not bringing Ianna).
I view this meeting as a worthwhile shot to see if it is worth pursuing AT&T at all for the balance of the year for a big transaction.
Dorman's positive receptability to us is the only reason I can see to spend significant resources on AT&T in the near future.
EBS - AT&T History  Jun 2000 EES sponsored Executive Briefing with focus on EES and EBS - attendants include Frank Ianna from AT&T.
Oct 2000 - Extensive EBS team meets with extensive AT&T team to set up eight tactical and strategic working teams to find opportunities for the 		companies to build a bilateral commercial relationship.
After three weeks, results were presented to executive committee of both teams.
Nothing materializes.
Potential Opportunities  AT&T currently spends a significant amount each year (expected to be in the $100s of millions) on offnet services (wholesale expenses) .
EBS would like AT&T to allocate a potion of the purchases towards EBS.
Adventis states there are currently numerous major undertakings by AT&T which are transforming the telecommunications operations at AT&T.
Is there not something EBS could do to help advance these undertakings?
At a minimum we would like AT&T to interconnect to our pooling points.
Final Note  I do not think we should lead with trading.
We should lead with our ability to provide services to the wholesale sector of the industry.
The typical reaction we get from incumbent players is that if they don't trade or if they think that trading puts downward pressure on prices, then they should not do business with Enron.
They need to understand that they don't need to trade to have a valuable business relationship with  Enron   Bio Points on David Darmon  Received a bachelors degree in Industrial Management from Georgia Institute of Technology  Became the 55th employee at Sprint  Rose quickly to become the president of Sprint Business and grew it from $5 million to $4.5 billion in revenue with 10,000 employees.

Subject: Rio house

Jeff,  Hope all is well with you.
I'm just dropping you this note to let you know I haven't forgotten your call concerning the sale of your share in the Rio house...I've been extremely busy getting my immigration status in order and setting up my company in London.
I've also asked Price Waterhouse to update all the accounts of Swanswalk Ltd in Ireland (the company that owns the house) and see the best way forward for a potential transaction seeking to minimize Brazilian and Irish taxes.
My personal matters should take me a few more weeks and I will contact you to discuss the house shortly thereafter.

Subject: Guidance

Hello Jeff  A voice from the past.
Hope you are doing well.
I wanted to gain your assistance to point me to the most appropriate person I could interview at Enron.
I am helping a client understand how companies in the US Natural Gas and Power industry are coping with the challenges in their industry in terms of developing and retaining the "right skills".
So, someone who could provide an external perspective of how players in the industry are coping with the challenges as well as an internal perspective on Enron would be great for me to interview.
If that means more than one individual, that is fine too.
Hope this is not too much of an imposition.
I'll undertake the conversation over the telephone and keep it short.

Subject: Crown Energy

I spoke with Oscar Wyatt this afternoon on Crown and subsequently to Tom Bachtell, an attorney in Utah who is attempting to organize shareholders to replace existing management.
Crown has an asphalt oil sand production facility in northeast Utah and an asphalt distribution company.
Bachtell owns about 4-5% of the stock.
Mr. Wyatt indicated he had a "small" holding.
I indicated that we would consider any proposal that might result in salvaging some value from this investment.
We hold convertible preferred and a small amount of common at an original cost of $5.5 million in 1997.
Fully converted, our ownership would be approximately 25%.
The Company has a net deficit of $21 million and a "going concern" paragraph in its audit opinion.
We have written down our carrying value to nil.
The Company in engaged in an arbitration proceeding against MCN Energy and MCNIC Pipeline.
MCNIC has interests in the asphalt assets and is a lender to Crown.
MCNIC attempted to foreclose on certain Crown assets and Crown in turn counter-sued for $100 million.
The arbitration hearing will be held July 23 - August 10.
If Crown obtained an award from the arbitration, some value could be restored to our investment.
We will get further information from Bachtell on the details of his plans and recommend what position Enron should take in this matter.

Subject: Moving forward: URGENT, URGENT.

Dear Ken:  This note builds on the earlier voice mail, and a memorandum I have sent to   you, following the Dave Dorman meeting.
Given the initial ground work done by   our team at ATT leadership level, the meeting between Jeff and David Dorman,   we think did go as expected by us.
I am sure Dave and Stewart, along with   Jeff have shared their views of the meeting, and do feel positive about  the   process forward.
Our take on the meeting is as follows:  1.
Dave Dorman is open and eager to explore ways ATT and Enron could   cooperate across the board.
2.
Dave wants to move fast, but at a pace that will work within ATT, and is   strategically sound for both the organizations  3.
He is now looking forward to specific value propositions from   Enron-Adventis team, which he is prepared to discuss with us.
4.
On that basis I am sure he will guide us to the most appropriate guys   within ATT who will need to understand and act on the value propositions.
In view of the above the real work begins now.
As discussed with Dave and   Stewart, we will further reinforce our commitment to develop, and take the   basic proposals with ATT forward.
Our team is already on the job and will   meet with Stewart early this week.
I did indicate to both Dave and Stewart that we will like to take the next   steps in a most expeditious and matured fashion so that all the strategic   possibilities to create the new bandwidth dynamics between the two companies   could be achieved.
Given that there were some hesitation within Enron on the out come of the   first meeting with ATT, we committed to the last 2.5 weeks of work with a   reduced fee structure.
Now that the first major step has been successfully   taken, we plan to work with you along our normal professional fee schedule.
As we do want to move as fast as possible and if at any point indications are   that the desired out come will be difficult to achieve we could stop and   review progress.
As a result, although not common, we are willing to work   with a weekly rate, adjusted to professional fees of $75,000/week and out of   pocket expenses.
In addition of course for an engagement of this nature which   essentially leverages our firms professional credibility and trust in the   industry, our clients pay us on the basis of successful execution of the   alliance formation along preset milestones.
Given the strategic nature of this engagement, and our commitment to assist   you with all the major Telcos, -- incumbents and new, we will welcome to
Subject: speeding

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following  exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's  license?
Driver: I don't have one.
I had it suspended when I got my  5th DUI.
Officer: May I see the owner's card for this  vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car.
I stole it.
Officer: The  car is stolen?
Driver: That's right.
But come to think of it, I think  I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in  there.
Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes  sir.
That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this  car and stuffed her in the trunk.
Officer: There's a BODY in the  TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the officer  immediately called his captain.
The car was quickly surrounded by police, and  the captain approached the driver to handle the tense  situation: Captain: Sir, can I see your  license?
Driver: Sure.
Here it is.
It was  valid.
Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine,  officer.
Here's the owner' card.
The driver owned the  car.
Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if  there's a gun  in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.
Sure  enough, there was nothing in the glove box.
Captain: Would you mind  opening your trunk?
I was told you said there's body in it.
Driver: No  problem.
Trunk is opened; no body.
Captain: I don't understand  it.
The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license,  stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in  the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the liar told you I was speeding,  too!

Subject: Digital Storm - deadline May 18th.

Hi  Jeff,   I am following up on  a confidential manuscript I sent you a few days ago of "Digital Storm  - Fresh business strategies from the Electronic Marketplace".
Is is a book about B2B E-Commerce and E-Markets after the hype.
It will be  distributed by Wiley this summer as an A+ title (lead category) and Hasso  Plattner, CEO of SAP wrote the preface.
Enron is  featured as the most successful marketplace to date with a bright  future.
I was wondering,  whether you would like to include a testimonial for the book.
It would certainly also be good marketing for Enron's entry into new  marketplaces.
For your convenience I include a potential  quote:   Running  the world's largest electronic marketplace, we embrace the opportunities and  challenges of B2B E-Commerce.
In 'Digital Storm' Philipp Gerbert and his  colleagues give a powerful analysis of what has been learnt and invaluable  insights for future strategies in this area.
(you can of course  write what you want; more ideas are in the attachment, which also contains  additional information).
I apologize that  this is a bit urgent - the deadline is Friday this week  May 18th).
I very much hope  that you enjoy the manuscript.
Perhaps you would be interested to further  discuss the ideas.
Best regards, Phil  Gerbert
