A single meeting where the commercial people responsible for the business and relevant functional people all gather with you and I (I would also suggest Rick Buy attend) to review the model and the key assumptions. The goal is less of a "police" function and more of an education process to increase understanding of the business. Also, I think I am going to want someone dedicated to reviewing the work on the Dabhol model as we consider various renegotiation scenarios. The decision making is too important to not have oversight. Lastly, have you reviewed the modeling (both in ESA and at RAC) done on Cuiaba in connection with the recent board presentation? Jim
