It is a great start on what I think that UBS Warburg Energy will want to push. I think that we should discuss joining EPSA as quickly as possible to make sure that we have a vehicle to insert our views into the activities at FERC on future market structures ($175k per year). Any issues?

Like the "Bare Essentials" developed for RTO week last fall, the bullets are focused on big picture issues where significant consensus was developed. Because we do not yet have a detailed agenda for next week, we have designed the leave-behind to track our key issues. As we also discussed on Monday, Craig Roach has been asked by the Chairman's office to prepare a possible new approach to market power under a standard market design. Craig is developing a draft paper for consideration, which will be circulated for review early tomorrow. We will be holding a conference call on Friday, February 1st at 11:00 a.m. (EST) to discuss the draft leave-behind and Craig's paper. To access the call, dial 1-800-937-6563 and ask for the Julie Simon/EPSA call. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please contact Julie Simon at 202-628-8200 or jsimon@epsa.org.
