The visual presentation of the site is being refreshed to convey a bold presence on the Internet and present a clear, consistent, hi-tech look and feel to the site. This represents the completion of phase I of the web refresh project and is part of the NYISO Strategic Initiatives. For a period of two weeks (until May 8, 2001), both the new and old websites will be operated in parallel. On May 8, 2001 (unless notified differently), the old site will be discontinued. The NYISO has planned the transition to be as seamless as possible for our Market Participants and Guests. Several paths are available to access the new site. Direct links will be placed on the NYISO home page and on the What?s New page under Hot Topics. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE BOOKMARKS OR SCRIPT FILES!!!!!!!!!!!! Once the transition period is ended, the NYISO will rename the server containing the new website to the address of the old website. With this plan, Users will NOT be required to modify bookmarks and/or script files. The URL addresses for the MIS portion of the web site, the billing statements, and the LBMP data HAVE NOT and WILL NOT change. Access to these areas of the site will not change and Users will not need to modify any procedures. What Users can expect to see is consistent fonts, style rules, symbols, colors, etc. This will enhance navigation and improve the functionality of the site. Phase II of this project will address site architecture, file structure, and make substantial improvements to site navigation and data content. Information gathered from onsite interviews with Market Participants from each sector will be used in the implementation of Phase II changes. Market Participants should contact their Customer Relations Representative if they have any questions, comments, concerns, and/or problems. All others may contact Customer Relations at (518) 356-6060. Thank You The Web Refresh Team
