We understand completely that the April 25 slot following his return from vacation is not the most ideal arrangement. I think it's always easiest for someone like him if he knows that a speech given recently can easily serve as the basis for a new request. I wanted to remind you of my previous suggestion that his keynote presentation in Montreal last May to the World Forum on Energy Regulation would accomplish most of that, and we would work with Rob and others to minimize any effort required to add new content. Hopefully, this will help with the decision this week. As I mentioned the other day, Ken is really the most authoritative figure when it comes to the idea that economic concepts can be used to build energy markets and business enterprises that lead to better societies! Talk soon, and don't hesitate to ever ask for a "quid pro quo" from us.
