Problem: BODY: Greetings Justin and Laura: As we discussed there is a significant coalition of folks working at the Legislature to try to remove the prohibition on Direct Access included in Hertzberg's AB1X and recently signed by the Governor. Simply put, it is clear that the prohibition will only be removed if the business community communicates clearly and unequivocally and vociferously to the Legislature that Direct Access is a priority for business, and that the Legislature must amend AB1X to permit Direct Access. I've attached the media plan developed by the PR firm that's working with ARM (Alliance for Retail Markets) to increase the focus on the need to re-instate Direct Access. The ARM coalition of energy service providers has been the focal point of the ever-growing coalition that has developed (and continues to develop) around the Direct Access issue. In order to succeed, it is critical to get as many members of the Silicon Valley Manufactures' Group to join in the effort and participate actively, particularly in the media effort. My colleague Sue Mara has been a key player in the ARM coalition and in the development of the medial effort. She can provide you with any information and/or assistance that you need and can also get you in contact with Edelman, the PR firm directing the media effort. Sue's number is 415.782.7802. Her email is smara@enron.com. And, as always, you can contact me at any time (415.782.7822). Looking forward to any participation that you folks can offer. All the best,

Problem: BODY: After talking with Terry, Darrell, and the team, the following procedures have been developed so that each team member is consistent and all pertinent information is properly documented. Darrell is going to set the Socal Capacity in CAS to its Operational Capacity (850000), therefore, from now on we should only update the Socal window in TMS, and opt not to send the capacity from TMS to CAS when asked. In addition, we should continue to update the comments section in CAS each cycle for the Socal Window For all other points, when updating Capacities in TMS, the changed capacity should be sent to CAS only if it is a change in Operational Capacity. If we are updating for any other reason, (flow rate etc...) those capacities should not be sent back to CAS. In conclusion, from now on we will only update capacities in TMS and we will only send changes to CAS or make changes in CAS if there is a change in Operational Capacity, which will probably be a decision made by Darrell. The Socal Capacity in CAS and online is 850000 however we will continue to document the Window in the CAS Comments, and update it in TMS. These procedures will be effective for the Timely of Gas Day 10/25/01. If you have any questions, please ask me. Thanks!
