The idea here was not to explain the retail product offering or any concern of dropping the ball, rather a one off download of where we currently stand in South America and high level overview of how to work together to keep everyone on the same sheet of music and not miss a beat. For instance, there is already a local staff in place to handle initial deal flow (which is already happening) that needs to benefit from Dan's systems and best practices, but which has already based what they are doing on how Dan operates. We have always benefited from as much of Dan's and Marty's attention as we could get over the past year and a half as we set this up. By the same token we can't be competitive in this business in Brazil on a cost basis from Houston, so that is why we have formed local staff based on EES systems and practices, and hopefully some controls as we go forward. It is late here and my assistant is gone but I think the meeting is already scheduled. If you can't be there maybe we can backbrief you.

I have a good understanding of the retail product offering, in fact, we lead the outsourcing sales process for the large industrial customers in NA until EES bought back their minority shareholders. I have a very good relationship with Dan Leff and Sunde. I already have Dan's committment to help service the execution of the business initially. As it grows and the product proves itself out we can staff.

Key points for discussion will be: -brief overview of the state of the retail business in South America -brief overview of the current retail organization and how it would report through wholesale -discussion of how we move from where we are currently (good value proposition, customer's signed up, organization to implement) to make the retail business a success: -by having an interface with EES for best practices, systems, etc., -under wholesale budget and organization for simplicity and cost sake Wednesday is Mark's first day back in the office from Europe, Dan will be in Europe, Orlando will be in Brazil, others I believe in Houston, so we will try to accomodate everyone's schedules or at least get a quorum of those involved present on the call/meeting.
