Subject: Global Systems Matrix

I updated that systems matrix recently, in preparation for our much  rescheduled meeting with AA on risk controls.
That is on my calendar for  Friday morning this week, so I will bring copies with me to that meeting.
I have been publishing an ENA operations report monthly since June.
To date,  I have been reviewing it with Dave Delainey, fine-tuning each month the types  of information and format that he likes.
I will bring you a copy tomorrow  and would like your input on content and format as well.
With the recent  reorganization, I am working with EGM and EIM to create the same report.
After we have mastered that here in Houston over the next month or so, I plan  to share the format with London so that all of our wholesale businesses can  use the same format.
In addition to these monthly operating reports, we are working on a daily  report to be operational by the end of the fourth quarter that will track  compliance with our fundamental operating standards.
We are in the phase of  determining the source of reporting (systematic or manual) and the frequency  of reporting (daily, weekly, monthly) for all commodities and locations  against the operating standards.
As we get this to a first draft stage, I  will share this with you, as well as the timeline for full implementation.
Subject: Your approval is requested

This approval request is incomplete - it does not include the name of this  employee's manager.
I do not know the employee, and without the name of the  manager I can't possibly approve this.
Please get someone to complete this  request.
Subject: Recruiting

I am not trying to twist any arms with this question, but is there anything  we can do so that Jody can make the presentation at OU?
Since he was the top  graduate from the Energy Management Program at OU, it would be great for him  to be at the presentation next Tuesday night.
I know that recruiting events  can be a drain on staffing, but it is also time well spent.
I do know that  Jody is in a role that has real day-to-day commitments, so if there is not a  feasible way to have someone calc a book for him I will understand.
I just  wanted you to take a look at this.
Thanks.
Subject: Compensation Analysis

I have asked ENA's Compensation team within HR to conduct a compensation  study for me for all positions from Manager level through Vice President.
This analysis will include employees who are dedicated to ENA, EIM and EGM.
It had been the plan to complete our compensation analysis by focusing on the  Manager level and above, following the market analysis for Senior Specialists  and below that was completed by Yvonne Land.
I learned recently that Yvonne  has left the Company and that she had not begun the analysis for Managers and  above.
Todd Burke, who recently joined Enron, will be conducting the market survey  and compensation analysis.
I met with Todd recently.
He has had wonderful  experience with Towers Perin and Watson Wyatt, and I feel that we are  fortunate to have him devoted to this project.
Please give sufficient  thought and attention to requests from Todd.
The quality and timeliness of  your responses will directly impact the quality and timeliness of the  analysis that I will receive from Todd.
I think that you should each have a  vested interest in the success of this project!
Todd also plans to resurvey market information for Senior Specialists and  below so that his view of compensation will be complete and timely for all of  Energy Operations.
Since we recently took action on compensation levels for  key players at the Senior Specialist level and below, I would not anticipate  further adjustments for those levels as a result of Todd's review.
You should receive a message from Todd in the next day or so in which he will  detail steps in the compensation analysis and what your role will be.

Subject: OPM Presentation

Great job on discussing status and next steps with the group this afternoon  on OPM.
The presentation and your comments were direct and concise.
And  your delivery of the information was very well done -- you were poised,
Subject: ERMS Resources

I heard today that Curtis Smith has resigned.
I am sure that both ot you  know that Curtis and Jeremy Wong were viewed by users as critical resources  for ERMS support.
Even at a stand still, my team had great concern over the  rumored loss of Curtis and/or Jeremy.
And with the assumption that Sitara  will not go forward for valuation, then ERMS really has become repositioned  as one of our key, strategic systems.
There is much to do to "catch up", if  you will, with changes and enhancements that were put on hold for several  years during the Sitara development stage.
And our business continues to  grow and change rapidly, requiring responsive enhancements on an on-going  basis.
I would like to get together to discuss the staffing plan for support of ERMS  as soon as possible.
We need to understand how day-to-day production  support will be managed and how development work will be effectively  handled.
I will ask my assistant to set up a meeting as soon as possible.
Subject: Bearkadette Schedule

Here are the home games when Meagan will be dancing in the half-time routine:   Friday, September 15  7:00 pm   Saturday, October 14  7:00 pm   Friday, October 20  7:00 pm  (homecoming)   There is a chance that she could be added to two other home games if  alternates are needed.
Nothing definitive on that, of course.
She did get  put into a routine last year as an alternate, but you never know.
We would love for you to come for a visit this fall, and it would be fun if  it would work around one of these games.
I have also given this schedule to  Cindy, as she and Brigeda were interested in making it to a game.
I am headed to Dallas early tomorrow morning.
Patti has sent you a copy of  my itinerary.
Subject: Out of Office August 29-31 - Key Contacts

I will be in Dallas from Tuesday, August 29 through Thursday, August 31 at an  offsite session hosted by Rick Causey to review the SAP implementation and  next steps.
The linkage of Unify and our Global Databases to SAP is a  critical one, and decisions around next steps can impact these operating  systems and our processes.

Subject: June Operating Report

In cleaning up e:mails, I can across this one from Sheila.
Is this one of  the corrections that was made to the June information?
Any update on July?
Thanks.
Subject: VP PRC

The Enron-wide PRC meeting to review the mid-year performance for all Vice  Presidents has been rescheduled several times.
Currently, this meeting is  set for September 11 and 12.
Per David Oxley, performance reviews for Vice  Presidents should be conducted after this PRC process is completed.
Assuming  that the meeting takes place as now planned in September, I will schedule  your reviews sometime after September 12.
(Bob, I will assume that your  review will be given by Rock, but I will keep you informed on this process  along with Peggy and Brent.)
On another note, Enron hosts an annual management conference each year for  Vice President level and above.
You should all receive invitations to this  event.
In recent years, it has been held in San Antonio.
I do not know the  location for this year, but I do have the dates for you to hold on your  calendars:  November 15-17.
Let me know if you have any questions on either one of these.
Subject: Wellesley and ASE meetings

I received the note about the Wellesley recruiting team meeting on Thursday.
I will look forward to seeing you there.
Will you be in Dallas next week for the ASE?
I will be there.
I did let  Melissa know when the dates were announced that I will quietly slip out about  mid afternoon on Thursday.
Amanda's school open house is Thursday at 7:00,  and parents will follow their children's schedules and meet all of the  teachers.
With this being Amanda's   first year in junior high, it is  important for me to meet the teachers and understand their expectations so  that I can best support her in school.
Mary Solmonson and Brent from my team  will be there for the duration.
I look forward to seeing you there, too!
Subject: Request Submitted: Access Request for bob.m.hall@enron.com

Beth Perlman tells me that you are in charge on this system.
It does not  work.
I thought that this was going to be corrected last week.
I am  confused about why we are using a system that does not work.
I understand  that there are bugs in the system.
Was the system tested before being put  into production?
I tried to reach you by phone.
You were unavailable and I could not leave a  voice mail because that was full.
I talked with Torey Hayden and verbally  okayed the access for Bob Hall.
Please call me and let me know when the system will be working correctly and  how you are going to manage these approvals in the interim while the system  is not functioning.
You might at least put a contact name and number on  these things if you are going to continue to send these out before the system  is fixed.
My number is 35926.
I look forward to hearing from you on solutions and  timing.
Subject: Enron MBA Excellence Fund Scholars Dinner

I met with Karen Marshall today.
She is in the Community Relations group and  is organizing the dinner on September 7th.
I suggested that she add to the  invitation list the other interviewers this year for the scholarships (Roger  Ondreko and Gene Humphrey), Brent Price and Loftis Fitzwater (one of last  year's scholarhip recepients who started with us as an Associate this  summer).
I have also volunteered to coordinate with the University on  appropriate attendees, as some of Karen's info is dated and she does not know  people at the school.
I will keep you posted.

Subject: Add to Calendar-Enron MBA Excellence Fund Scholars Dinner

Please print the attachment for me in color ( I have to put that burnt orange  on my bulletin board), put this event on my calendar and research flight  information for me.
I would fly over on the afternoon of the 7th and back on  the morning of the 8th.
Check with Karen to see if she is handling hotel  reservations, or if we should make those.
Thanks.
Subject: Your approval is requested

This was sent for my approval.
The manager listed below does not work in  Energy Operations.
This should be sent to someone else for approval.
Subject: If you are stuck...

If you absolutely can not find enough of the right players to go on the  cruise, let me know.
My husband is scheduled for a baseball game on  Wednesday night.
If I could find some Diamond level tickets for another day  for him, he might consider giving up his tickets for Wednesday night.
This  is a last resort sort of measure, however, so I hope that you find success in  response from others.
But do let me know...
Subject: I Need Your Info on Cheryl Ingstad for Year End Associate PRC  Meeting

I am resending this memo regarding the information that I need from you as  Cheryl Ingstad's supervisor as I prepare to represent her in the Associates  PRC meeting next week.
I am tied up in other PRC meetings on December 7, 8  and 11, so I am doing my homework earlier rather than later this week.
Please note the bullet points in the memo below which outline the information  that I need.
I do have copies of the internal feedback forms and Cheryl's  self-evaluation.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I know that things  are very busy right now, but it is important to the Associates that their  reps in the PRC process are well prepared.
Your input will help me with  that.
Thanks.

Subject: Phone Call

Sorry that I missed you this morning.
I attended that last Financial Council  meeting on SAP this morning just prior to my lunch meeting with Mark Frevert  and Rick Causey.
Nothing substantial came up on Helsinki, so it was fine  that we didn't get to talk today.
I had wanted to be prepared on how to  address out current activities there.
So I can get an update on that when we  talk tomorrow.
I have a meeting on the analyst and associates program from 9:00 to 10:00  tomorrow.
I will call you around 10:00 when I get back from that meeting.
Subject: Todd Hall

As we said before, I would like to be able to utilize Todd Hall for special  projects from time to time.
I had mentioned to Mike Jordan that once Todd  completed his CommodityLogic role that I thought that we could take some of  his time to follow up on Continental Power issues, which could fit nicely  with some work he could do on Weather in Europe.
I don't know about the one  month timeframe.
I would prefer that Todd review the initiatives and  determine the best way to proceed.
It might mean a couple of weeks over  there for starters, and then a follow up, shorter trip a few weeks later.
I  don't think that Todd is keen on any elongated stays in Europe, particularly  without the family.
Can we still use Todd ?
Subject: Incorporating comments from Rick Causey

Cathy:  slight wording change from Rick Causey:  add words at beginning of  third sentence in italics and drop the phrase "on accounting issues and  reporting earnings" at the end of that third sentence.
Thanks.
Clear as  mud?

Subject: Language in McConnell's memo on Global Markets

Rick:  This is a draft of the language to be used in a McConnell/Shankman  memo to go out on their new organization.
I worked with Mike on the language  for this paragraph.
Any comments or suggested changes?
Mike would like to send this out ASAP, ideally this afternoon.
Thanks for  taking a look.
draft  Brent Price will be joining Enron Global Markets as Vice President of  Operations and Chief Accounting Officer.
He will report to the EGM Office of  the Chairman, and to Sally Beck, Vice President of Global Risk Management  Operations.
He will coordinate with Rick Causey, Executive Vice President  and Chief Accounting Officer for Enron Corp., on accounting issues and  reporting earnings.
Reporting to Brent in his new position will be Sheila  Glover, business controller for Global Financial Products;  Todd Hall,  business controller for Weather; and Scott Earnest, business controller for  Global Products and Coal.
In addition, Tom Myers has joined Brent's  management team as Director of Accounting.
Brent and his team are  responsible for all accounting, risk reporting and trading operations for all  the businesses within EGM.
Subject: Meeting with Frevert on Wholesale Operations

I have been able to move up the meeting with Mark Frevert regarding  responsibility for operations for ENA, EGM and EEL to Thursday, August 17  instead of August 28.
I will keep you posted.
I met with Brent's direct reports yesterday afternoon and announced Brent's  new role.
I will have three persons leading the natural gas team:  Steve  Jackson, Leslie Reeves and Bob Hall.
I am confident that this will work  well.
Subject: Meeting with Mark Frevert - Should We Move It Up?

FYI:  Rick agreed with the attached note that I sent him.
By voice mail, I  suggested Ted Murphy as a substitute for Rick Buy for the meeting.
We are  set for next Thursday, August 17 at 11:45 in Rick Causey's office over  lunch.
I am meeting with Ted this afternoon to fill him in on the purpose of  the meeting and to be certain that I have his support.
Rick Causey suggested  citing some of the items in my memo to him when we get with Frevert.
Any  words of wisdom or suggestions for the meeting?
Hope that everything is fun and relaxing in Maine.

Subject: Your approval is requested

The employee for whom access if requested is not an employee of Energy  Operations.
I would assume that with his supervisor listed as Ed Baughman,  that he is in a commercial origination group.
Someone else should be  reviewing and approving this.
Subject: Meeting with Mark Frevert - Should We Move It Up?

Not surprisingly, the organization is moving faster than Rick Buy's vacation  schedule.
Our meeting is set with Mark Frevert, Rick Buy, you and me on  August 28 -- two weeks from next Monday, dictated by Rick Buy's schedule.

Subject: Note from Sally

To all Energy Operations employees:  ENA has experienced extraordinary growth thus far in 2000.
I am especially  proud of the accomplishments of Energy Operations in supporting this growth.
I wanted to express my appreciation for all the hard work and dedication that  you have demonstrated.
We have done great work and I want to recognize you  for that.
Although we have done much, we have additional goals to accomplish within ENA  and Energy Operations this year.
Therefore, as we go forward, I want to make  sure that you have all the necessary tools to do the best possible job, and  that any barriers that may impede your work are removed.
To help in this effort, I have asked a consulting organization -- S.J.

Subject: Jury Duty Continues

To my surprise, I was chosen today to sit on a jury to hear a felony charge.
The judge believes that we can conclude the trial by end of the day on  Wednesday or perhaps on Thursday.
I will be back here working after trial  hours in the office and checking voice mail messages during breaks in the  proceedings.
I will be back full time as soon as my civic duty is  fulfilled!
Enron is well presented in the court system over the next few days.
I sat by  Mark Koenig in the jury assembly room today, and he too was chosen to serve  on another jury.
Subject: Key Contacts - Out of Office - July 26-28, July 31 and August 1

FYI - I will be out of the office for the two meetings on Wednesday this  week.
I will be working in Chicago Monday and Tuesday next week.
I will be  back in the office on Wednesday of next week.
Todd tells me that a logo has been selected.
Can you e:mail that to me?
If  not available electronically, I will see it when I am back in the office next  Wednesday.
If no one has stepped in to a look at hours spent on the confirmation process  and opportunities that may be presented there, I will do that when I am back  in the office next week.
My first move will be to sit down with Jeff  Sorenson who leads the confirmation group to put some meat around the hours  that James Scribner sent you.
When we look at numbers of confirmations and  compare several months of data we will be better able to identify which  activities were stressed by increased business and which activities seemed   to absorb increased business more easily.
I also think that Jeff will be the  best source of information about ideas on streamlining, opportunities to  simply life at Enron and perhaps create value externally.
All of the  advances made over the last several years (auto-confirm, the DECAF system,  auto-faxing, digitized signatures, document scanning, etc. )
in our confirm  group have been ideas generated by the business group and led by them for  implementation.
No doubt, Jeff has some good ideas on where to go next.

Subject: Update on PRC Process for VP's

Today's ENA PRC was a pre-ranking session for VP's.
All VP's will be  reviewed at an Enron-wide PRC scheduled for early August.
Representatives at  that Enron PRC from ENA will be Janet Dietriech, Dave Delainey, John Lavorato  and Greg Piper.
They will use information from today's ENA PRC meeting in  representing you at the Enron-wide VP PRC.
I have provided copies of your  accomplishments and consolidated supervisor feedback forms to Dave Delainey  for reference during that process.
Your reviews will be given after the Enron-wide VP PRC, and will not be  completed before the end of July.
I will schedule an August date with you  for your review as soon as I know the exact date of the final PRC meeting.
Separately, you both should sign up for the Executive Influence and Impact  course that is required of VP's.
I thought that the course was very good.
All VP's are strongly encouraged to complete this course.
It is a 2 or 3 day  course that is offered every month or two here in Houston.
I would contact  Dick Amiable to inquire on how to sign up for this.
