It seems to me that even though we are having our share of problems, we have probably had fewer problems than the government did and have probably been more responsive and thorough in our clean up efforts.
dev37
Obviously, we would need to be judicious about how we used such information (we don't want to aggravate the government), but having such an analysis may be helpful in showing the progress made and in discouraging overly punitive action by the government.
dev37
What do you think?
dev37
I still need to talk to you about our public message in India.
dev37
I am on my way to Calgary tonight.
dev37
My hotel number is 403-266-7331.
dev37
Thanks.
dev37
Thanks for the referral.
dev37
We definitely want to get our story out to these guys.
dev37
Just for future reference, Meredith Phillipp is handling "New Media" for us.
dev37
Thanks
dev37
Strong work, Laura!
dev37
Will we capture these "accelerations" in our accomplishments?
dev37
Baby, I'm going to San Francisco on Aug 14?(Sunday) returning Wednesday.
dev37
Wanna go??

Attached are my comments on the Bliley amendment to the Largent amendment.
dev37
Let's add this to our daily distribution.
dev37
We don't know yet.
dev37
He has been invited and we expect most will show up, but we won't know until they do.

Enron Energy Services

In the underscored language added to the RTO section I would insert "access to" between the words "planning" and "maintenance".

Cynthia Sandherr@ENRON
dev37
Let's take the opportunity.

Cynthia Sandherr@ENRON
dev37
I do too, but I think you should send it with the appropriate caveats (which I communicated verbally to her).
dev37
Fine
dev37
Looks good.
dev37
looks good
dev37
I think you have picked the two most interesting industries.
dev37
Because energy and telecom both have natural monopoly characteristics, the government gets involved in economic regulation (not just the usual environment, safety, labor and other types of regulation which all businesses are subject to).
dev37
That means that there is constant interplay between policy makers and the business community and that policy makers have alot to say about which business strategies will be successful.
dev37
Rob Wilson@ENRON
dev37
My message was sent before I finished it.
dev37
I think it would be interesting to focus your attention on this interplay -- what policy changes have meant to companies (ie the winners and losers) and how explicit companies are about how government policy drives their business strategy in these industries.
dev37
I also think it would be fascinating to compare regulators' visions for the industry they are restructuring with the reality after the fact.
dev37
I believe you would find some similarities but also some substantial and interesting differences.
dev37
Good luck with your studies.
dev37
My best regards to Mike; I learned a great deal working for him.
dev37
Rob Wilson@ENRON
dev37
Thanks for the update.
dev37
Congratulations on your progress.
dev37
Please do send it out.
dev37
Thanks for the kind words.
dev37
I know you know how I feel about your work and I have shared that view widely.
dev37
I have enjoyed working with you; I always valued your insights , your responsiveness, and your work ehtic.
dev37
I wish you all the best in your new role.
dev37
These are good fixes.
dev37
I still think it's important for our security people to be able to recognize all of our senior executives and make sure their guests get where they are going quickly.
dev37
Sherrie and Rosie: Jeff and Ken both received notes from Tom Delay about designating portions of their contributions for use in Texas.
dev37
Mr. DeLay would like them to make that designation using the letter below (note that it will need to be modified to be from each individually rather than a joint letter).
dev37
It is, of course, up to Ken and Jeff whether to make the designation.
dev37
Lou -- you may be maxed out on Franks now.
dev37
Don't write a check for the August fundraiser until you have talked to Eliz Labanowski
dev37
If you think this is worth pursuing, get in touch with Christie.
dev37
Offer him the job.
dev37
Rob Bradley@ENRON
dev37
What do you think?
dev37
I think you, or someone in your group, should cover this.
dev37
The attendees are operations focussed and may be interested in issues such as siting, interconnection and environmental issues.
dev37
Also, from a more macro perspective, what kinds of demands the new industry structure may place on operators -- the importance of flexibility in asset operations (ie the premium the market will place on quick response) or the challenges of different scheduling regimes between the gas and power markets.
dev37
Maybe we should knock down the walls of those cavernous offices on the topfloor.
dev37
I think it would be useful to verify their view that they are really only 2-3 years from commercial production.
dev37
Ideally, we could get that confirmation from someone familiar with the technology but without any financial interest in its success.
dev37
Their technology pitch sounded good, but I don't know enough to recognize the potential shortcomings.
dev37
I want to feel comfortable that you all feel this is real, then I would be happy to have me and my team spend some time with them.
dev37
I'd like to get about 30 minutes with Mark, just to catch up.
dev37
ditto -- nice work Rob.
dev37
Your insights on project stanley are also much appreciated.
dev37
Please revise the document as Aleck's changes indicate.
dev37
With respect to the alternative responses shown near the end of the document, leave both alternatives in.
dev37
See below.
dev37
this is one of the issues that concerned us more than price caps, because it could limit our ability to move power to other markets in the west.
dev37
In addition, if you get questions from the analysts on "reregulation" or price caps it is worth pointing out that the high prices prevailing in many markets help our retail sales pitch to end use customers and create opportunities for our wholesale price risk management services .
dev37

dev37

dev37
even a $250 price cap is 5-10 times what large customers are accustomed to paying.
dev37
See below.
dev37
This would have presented a bigger problem than price caps.
dev37
Tim -- Cindy manages this program.
dev37
Mary -- please give some thought to how we might solicit employee views on this.
dev37
Cindy -- I believe we already allow matching of donations to quasi-religious organizations: religious schools, for example, and perhaps relief organizations like Catholic Relief Services?
dev37
I think that if we want to consider extending it we should probably discuss it in a smaller group than the e-speak forum -- the Enron Foundation Board perhaps?
dev37
This could become controversial, though (recall the Planned Parenthood debate and the periodic attempts of shareholders to add restrictions through the proxy mechanism).
dev37
I think this is a good idea.
dev37
We may want to think about CNBC as well.
dev37
Brandon -- any technical obstacles?
dev37
Margaret/Cindy -- how does the link work?
dev37
does it go straight to the clip or do users have to navigate within CNN's site?
dev37
Are you aware of this?
dev37
calendar
dev37
Congratulations!
dev37
I won't be going.
dev37
Let's look for an alternate.
dev37
I'd be happy to come to DC.
dev37
Jon -- Ricardo Charvel is pulling together the briefing for Ken, so please share the EBS activities/ agenda with him.
dev37
Thanks
dev37
do we have a mechanism to survey employees?
dev37
Can we do a "scientific" poll?
dev37
as discussed
