From what I can tell, we have been a proponent of Transcos before FERC for the most part during the RTO debate. Only Detroit Edison's Transco proposal comes close to our initial vision. Given that what is most likely is a bunch of not-for-profit ISOs being created in the East and West, why not re-establish our position. This meeting gives us an opportunity to really set up this distinction and draw some "bottom lines".

However, it may be something they would want to do to promote their systems (hopefully that will be consistent with the Enron model). Since Scott Miller and Massey of FERC are on the agenda 9/28-29 , it may make sense for Enron to make sure that Ed Cazulet of APX and the Cal PX people on the agenda are promoting the "Enron" model. Cal PX is coming in next week.
