Board and Associate Companies Only FROM: Joe Hartsoe, Regulatory Affairs Committee Chair Bob Reilley, Power Marketers Working Group Chair Ron Lowman, Industry Operations Committee Chair Julie Simon, Vice President of Policy Mark Stultz, Vice President of Public Affairs Mark Bennett, Senior Manager of Policy DATE: March 28, 2001 RE: NERC Summit ? Wednesday, April 18, at 10 a.m. The NERC Board of Trustees is scheduled to have a very important meeting on Friday, March 30th, on the future organization of NERC-the so-called "NERC to NAERO transition." NERC is poised to eliminate its traditional board structure, long dominated by its regional councils, and adopt an independent board along with some form of a stakeholder advisory committee. This watershed event provides an opportunity for EPSA, and its member companies, to carefully evaluate participation in NERC, its committees and the activities in the regions. Specifically, we want to focus on what matters, if any, NERC is presently addressing that warrant the continued attention and participation of EPSA and/or its members. For those issues that are affecting, or could potentially affect, the business interests of EPSA's members, what is the most efficient and effective role EPSA could play? What is the best forum for resolving reliability-related technical issues beyond FERC's expertise? To facilitate this discussion, EPSA will be hosting a half-day summit to discuss the outcome of NERC's March 30th meeting and its implications for EPSA's allocation of resources to NERC activities on Wednesday, April 18 at 10 a.m. We encourage members to attend in person at the new EPSA offices at 1401 New York Ave., 11th Floor, Washington, D.C. However, we will also make participation by conference call available. We encourage all companies, whether or not they are currently active in NERC, to participate in this important meeting. Please RSVP for the meeting using the form below to Jackie Gallagher either by fax (202-628-8260) or e-mail (jgallagher@epsa.org).
