QUESTION: Greetings: We are getting considerable traction with the idea of using a "benchmark" to judge utility purchases, similar in concept to what's in place on the gas side. To oversimplify it: 1) set the benchmark 2) the utility buys for consumers and tries to beat the benchmark 3) if (at the end of the year) the utility has beat the benchmark, it shares the profits with consumers; if the benchmark wins, the utility shares the losses with consumers 4) the PUC performs no "after-the-fact" reasonableness; no "second-guessing" California likes the idea and is now looking to Enron to come up with what the benchmark ought to be. I talked to Calger a bit about it today and he suggested that I get together with you guys. As always, time's short. Are you available on Monday? Thanks,

QUESTION: Erik - Below is a form NDA for Cargill/CommodityLogic. The form is Cargill's form and mirrors the agreement we reached earlier this year between Cargill and NetWorks. That agreement was negotiated with Anne Pedrero with Cargill eVentures in San Mateo, CA. Whether or not she is the individual who should look at this agreement is up to the personnel you are dealing with at Cargill. I would suggest, however, that if another legal person does get involved, that they be instructed to contact Ms. Pedrero to verify the terms of the agreement previously negotiated. Please let me know if you should need anything further -- phone calls are okay.
