Although we have suggested primary stakeholder groups for each meeting, the focus groups are completely open. We have structured the meetings as focus groups, rather than large stakeholder meetings, for two primary reasons: * We have better communication with smaller groups (~20) than with larger groups (~75). The ISO used this approach in a recent series of meetings on uninstructed deviation pricing and had very good success. * We expect to have better-focused discussions by concentrating those with similar interests into the same meetings. The ISO does not want to exclude any stakeholder and would like any interested entity to participate in one of the four meetings. If your organization is not represented directly by one of the four identified stakeholder groups, you may attend whichever meeting you desire. We do ask that entities participate (either attend or actively participate by conference call) in only one meeting, although you may listen in to as many as you desire. If you would like to attend one of the meetings, please RSVP to my Assistant, Julia Payton at jpayton@caiso.com or (916) 608-7069. Byron B.
