Unfortunately, it is not possible to add additional PRC Reps at this time because all of the Associates and Analysts have been divided between the existing PRC Reps. Additionally, as you are aware, the PRC meetings are next week, December 12th & 13th and there is not enough time to gather information. We will, however, be reducing the number of Associates and Analysts that each PRC Rep is representing and will need several additional Reps. If you have individuals that should be nominated please send the names to Terry Bosien. The parameters that were used for the initial appointments were as follows: The person must be a well-respected individual who is nominated/approved by the Office of the Chair of the Operating Company The Associate PRC Reps are vice presidents The Analyst PRC Reps are directors /sr. directors The level of the PRC reps on the committee is important to adhere to for several reasons. First, Jeff wanted individuals at these levels to gain additional exposure in the organization and be involved in activities beyond their business unit boundaries. Additionally, it potentially places the PRC Rep in an awkward position and they may feel undue pressure in the meeting if they are required to disagree with a more senior individual. We have also received request from individuals wanting to "observe" the meeting. As in the MD/VP process, individuals are not allowed to just observe if they are not a part of the Committee. We attempted to have the major units represented, however, it is not possible to have every division represented. Jeff Skilling spent over an hour with the PRC Reps explaining why the individuals selected as PRC Reps, rather than the Associates' & Analysts' managers, should be the ones to represent the Associates & Analysts in the PRC. He also reiterated the importance of the PRC Reps' responsibilities which was to (1) meet with the Associates' and Analysts' managers; (2) gather as much information as possible and (3) advocate objectively for the individual. Also, if there are too many individuals in the room it is difficult or impossible to come to a consensus, which has been the case in the past. I hope this is helpful. If business units find this is not acceptable, they should seek approval for their attendance from Jeff Skilling. Thanks for your understanding, cooperation and support. Charlene
