I referenced the power of 100% focus and the accountability for someone driving the earnings and his pressure to make earnings in trading and electricity. I like your email and tone. I would like to recommend you add a statement about Morten being very strong and that we aren't attempting to "own" him vs. having a 100% dedicated weather guy. I would also add that you want to talk him about this and how we could move quickly to complete our global vision with tawney.

In our weather business, there appears to be a lack of seamlessness. Reporting relationships, P&L, and vision for this business are not best alligned as this business exists today. Mike and I would like to address this as follows: all employees in the weather business will now become full time employees of EGM and report to Mark Tawney. We need 100% full time dedication from each of these employees in the weather business. It is obvious that the organizations and product lines can lever each other and the synergies will provide powerful results in our regional gas and power businesses in particular. If you look at coal, lng, equities, etc, we have employees based in each of your regions who report back into the appropriate business unit within EGM. This restructure will similarly align weather.
