On October 2, I, Aaron Klem and our outside attorney, Jeanne Bennett, met with other ESPs, the utilities, and the Energy Division staff of the CPUC to hammer out an agreement on implementing the CPUC's order suspending direct access (DA) and handling continued submission of DASRs. It was news to the utilities that ESPs have many contracts -- most several years old -- that allow for addition and subtraction of facilities throughout the contract term. The utilities had thought that cutting off DASRs would be the best way to enforce the CPUC's order without having to review contracts (which they don't want to do). After much discussion and debate, the participants agreed to make a joint filing at the CPUC seeking quick action.

market_relations@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: Dear Market Participants: The NYISO is pleased to inform you about the following enhancements to the NYISO web server, MIS, SPIDER, Real-Time system and AutoSys that will be implemented on September 25, 2001. A new pilot application will be deployed between the NYISO and ISO-New England to help automate the exchange of inter-regional transaction schedules. Operations groups at both sites will receive automated transfer of transaction data to facilitate the hourly transaction checkout process. The NYISO web infrastructure will be enhanced through the implementation of BEA's WebLogic product. The new application server will be the platform utilized by the MIS to provide bidding and scheduling capability to Internet customers. The new software replaces the NetDynamics product, will provide the same functionality, and will be a more robust and reliable development platform for future enhancements. New data postings will be made available on the web site to provide real-time internal transmission limits and flows, as well as transmission line scheduled and actual outages. This posting is part of the collection of data requests made by the Business Issues Committee (BIC) in September 2000. A new Upload / Download template will be created that will enable Market Participants to get access to generator adjusted megawatt data (current and historic billing data).

A document entitled "Third Party Connection: Customer Profile" showed up in my inter-office mail. What is this in relation to? What company? Who requested? Why? Thanks. Sara
Answer: Bear Stearns & Co. Inc.
During this critical time, it is imperative that our management team remain focused on our business and continue to address the challenges currently facing our company. For that reason, I have decided to postpone the Enron Management Conference. The Conference will now be held Friday, February 22 - Saturday, February 23, 2002 at the Westin La Cantera Resort in San Antonio. While the Saturday meeting allows some Enron executives who cannot be away from the office during business hours to attend the Management Conference for the first time, I also recognize that it requires many of you to forfeit additional personal time on behalf of Enron. I truly appreciate your sacrifice and I sincerely encourage your attendance. The new agenda, while still being finalized, will be abbreviated but every bit as informative and worthwhile as previously planned. We'll be in touch soon with more details. Regards,
Answer:
2001 Management Conference
