Subject:=09FW: MISO commercial operation phase-in=20 Importance:=09High David, could you let me know who on your team has the right skillset to par= ticipate in a conference call Monday morning to discuss phase in of MISO op= erations. I suspect that it is the person who primarily arranges transacti= ons through OASIS and/or schedules. As discussed on Monday afternoon this = is the chance to ensure that our operational people are on top of the trans= ition to MISO. cheers MR Smith, could you let me know who the right scheduler is..... -----Original Message----- From: =09Stroup, Kerry =20 Sent:=09Thursday, November 15, 2001 1:49 PM To:=09Roan, Michael Cc:=09Migden, Janine Subject:=09MISO commercial operation phase-in=20 Importance:=09High Mike, MISO announced at the Policy Subcommittee meeting yesterday that it would b= e phasing in Day One operations pursuant to the proposal outlined below. C= ommercial operations would commence on the basis of MISO's ISO (rather than= RTO) status, although MISO anticipates that FERC will designate it an RTO = on December 19 (this anticipation on the basis of discussions between Jim T= orgenson and FERC at the NARUC meetings last week). MISO foresees many que= stions regarding implementation of the phasein, and is requesting that a wo= rking group representing all sectors be established to work with the transm= ission owners to accomplish the phase-in. A conference call will be held o= n Monday November 19 to put together the working group and organize its act= ivities (call in number not yet distributed). It was clear from yesterday'= s meeting that the first efforts of the working group will be to work throu= gh implementation issues for the December 15 actiivities; subsequent effort= s will be dedicated to January 1 and February 1 implementation.
