I think that Mariella from what I have seen and heard is very capable. I strongly believe that we need to put a dedicated (with fresh eyes) SWAT team on this one that has control of the complete commercial, technical and financial aspects of this project. This is the only way to be effective. Whether it is with you or me or both, I am indifferent I would like to ensure that Kishkill, Wiggs, Gonzales and Alberquerque are not buried in this project given other goals and objectives.

Jim has told me what the two of you decided and it is fine with me. Below is a note that I received this morning from Pete. The meeting he is referencing is an indepth update on the project that I requested a week ago. You are more than welcome to attend if you would like to - just let me know. I am not sure that Pete is the right guy to work this or not, but I do agree that we need to introduce someone else into the process - I am thinking either Chris Hunt or Mariella Mahan. I would be happy to discuss with you why I recommend one of those two individuals.

I would have the full time dedicated team be - Jose Bestard (he currently is chief of regulatory for South America) - he negotiated the original PPA and has indepth knowledge of how the regulatory system does and does not work. Joao Carlos Alberquerque - top notch Brazilian power expert - has the right contacts and relationships and can get us through the maze of Brazilian resistance. Currently he is headed for wholesale merchant. John Novak - best legal mind - needs to curb the use of outside lawyers a bit - has been on the project continuous from day one - and needs to be rejuvenated a bit - but has thourough understanding of how bthe entire project is wired together. Rob Gay - Finance Laine Powell - is currently President of the oeprating companies - Cuiaba is producing 300 mw of power which is being sold and paid for. Felipe Ospina - modeler - I don't know this guy - he is relatively new to the project and seems satisfactory Would recommend also a fresh set of eyes on the project - not front line negotiator - but someone good at structuring - or work outs - to review overall project structure objectively and challange conventional wisdom. Other folks on the list below can support the dedicated team - part time. Would tell these guys - this is your only job - and here is your starting point - new deal. Your job is not just to close financing - it is to get Enron's money out or otherwise improve the returns of the project. You will get paid based on this point forward. It will take at least 9 months to implement a solution that improves our returns or gest more than just financial close achieved. This leaves some sticky situations - Rick Lammers has absolutely busted his ass getting things done and moving the project forward - he has been lead developer - but has had lots of "help" from Bannantine and the entire team. Help tended to obscure responsibility and accountability. I am not sure anyone could have gotten this thing done by now - but certainly there were some things that could have been done better - in 20/20 hindsight - and some things that can be done better now. The things that come be done better now - I am pushing into Laines's area of responsibility this week. People need to get rededicated and fired back up - I also think it is kind of difficult to "take over" the project without making some changes in the way it is being run. For the review on Monday - I have asked the following people to present - Rick Lammers Laine Powell Jose Bestard Also in attendance will be John Novak, Joe Kishkill, Brett Wiggs, Rob Gay and myself. The guys asked if Jim Bannantine should be present - I said no - let me know if you would like him there. You should see - a brief description of the overall project (not the strategy - just how it is wired together- where the money is intended to be be) and then straight to a listing of all things that need to get done to "finish" the project to the point where we have financial close and a functioning supply and PPA. Joe and I and Rob will be in Houston and the rest of the team will dial in a conference call. Let me know if the above format is ok.
