I got a note from Ken asking that you and I have the first meeting and come back to him withrecommendations. I agree with the agenda you have set out. It may also be worth discussing how we can use the individual members of this group outside of the meetings with the Enron Exec Committee: there may be efforts elsewhere in the company which would benefit from the advice and input of members of the group. Stelzer@aol.com 10/06/2000 10:33 AM To: skean@enron.com cc: klay@enron.com Subject: Advisory group I believe that you agreed at our last meeting that it might be well for you and me -- and Ken if available -- to discuss plans for this group in 2001. My feeling is that we should review its composition after the election -- we may lose Larry or want to add a Democrat (Laura Tyson?); we can take a hard look at who is contributing and who isn't etc. My agenda would be: 1. What can be done to increase the value to Enron? As I see it we have two purposes: to create fans of and spokepersons for the company in important fora, and to enrich management's understanding of the outside world (what it is like, and how it views some of the problems that Enron faces). 2. What are the likely topics that it would be valuable for Enron to discuss in 2001, as best we can judge things at this early point in time? 3. What should the composition of the group consist of in 2001, given whatever we decide in #1 and #2 above. 4. How can we maximize the chance of achieving Ken's objective of attracting outside guest speakers? Advance scheduling? Fees? And what sorts would we like to attract? I am sure there are many other items; these are designed merely to start you thinking. Let me start the bidding by suggesting November 29 or December 4, inn Washington if you happen to be in town, in Houston if that is more convenient.
