Hi Team, Just wanted to clarify some decisions arising out of last week's N-Form Team meeting regarding the Working Environment policy... Remove the phrase, "...and the use of other tobacco products..." from the activities limited by our smoking policy, as employees in field locations regularly use these products, and enforcement would be virtually impossible. Clarify acceptable locations for smoking activity, as the definition for "workplace" used for alcohol and drugs is too narrow for smoking. Review "workplace" definition...this is a composite from several sources...please provide feedback as to whether it should be revised, i.e. Michelle suggested adding "parking lots." Workplace - Includes all Enron premises and any location where company business is being conducted or in which employees perform essential job functions, including all property, land, onshore and offshore platforms, office buildings, structures, installations, training facilities, plants, pipelines, boats, aircraft, and vehicles which are Enron-owned, leased, used, or operated, or which are located on Company property; as well as fenced areas to which general public access is denied or limited by Enron. Also covered are any personal effects or items, including desks, lockers, workstations, personal belongings, and privately owned vehicles located on or in Company property. Leave in the phrase, "...attending an Enron-sponsored function off Company premises..." in referencing locations where an employee should not be impaired by alcohol or drugs, as reasonable efforts are made to provide safe transportation and/or other options for impaired employees at Enron-sponsored social functions. Add references to the state and federal Drug Free Workplace Act and non-DOT policies. Stance on driving safety proposal is to state that the use of communication devices while driving poses a significant risk and that employees should comply with applicable law and business unit practices. Michelle - in your notes, you commented, "What about drug testing?" How much and which information would you like to see on this topic? Have I missed anything? Thanks so much for your time and assistance, Karen

Good news. It sounds like MISO will offer a way to handle losses financially. Based on their previously filed tariff, it appeared that they would not, but it seems they have reconsidered and recently filed a new Attachment M that details how they will handle losses financially. I have not yet seen the new Attachment M, so it may be a complex or costly process, but hopefully, it will be fine. Now, for the Important Question. MISO does not believe they will be able to process third-party loss schedules (either INT or EXT, in Tag parlance) on Dec 15. I don't think this is an issue for us (I expect we will typically be either accounting for losses financially or through in-kind schedules (dropping off losses along the path). If this is not correct, and we do sometimes schedule in losses under separate transactions, please let me know ASAP. Also let me know how prevalent that practice is. MISO is trying to figure out how urgent the need is to accommodate that on Dec 15. While they don't believe they will be able to meet that deadline, they want to know how many resources they should allocate to addressing the problem. Thanks,
