IN: I received a notice through Janet that if we don't pay $100k to California PUC by 12/26/01 our EEMC registration is suspended. THIS MEANS THAT THE MONEY MUST BE THERE TOMORROW. Suspension includes ceasing serving residential and small commercial (all accounts below 20kw) within 48 hours. I think that we've already paid, but Jeff is checking. If not, Wade please arrange payment to Howard Shyrock Energy Division - 4th Floor CPUC 505 Van Ness Avenue SF, CA 94102 Thanks.

IN: FYI. I'll be participating in a "round table discussion" on California next Monday on the Berkeley campus. It's being sponsored by the Policy School and some folks from the Business School. Laura Tyson and a former FCC mucky-muck (Howard Shalansky) will moderate the two panels. Alums who now work in the energy biz are putting up funding for the event (e.g., Columbia, American Public Power Ass.) We're providing a modest stipend. There are two "round tables." First one is "Why did we do this?," and the second one is "Where to from here?" I'll be on the second panel. Go to the attached website for agenda and other info. I intend to pull from the messages, filings and other materials that we've developed over the course of the last several weeks/months. I'll distribute talking points for review and comment sometime this week. But please feel free to send thoughts, suggestions, etc. early and often. Best,
