The ISO has posted on its web site a Draft Proposal that is intended to provide Market Participants with an opportunity to comment upon and discuss some modifications the ISO is considering to the procedures described in last Thursday's market notice that addressed granting a "Temporary Waiver of Must-Offer Obligation." You can find the draft at http://www.caiso.com/docs/2001/07/12/2001071217521028555.html . Please return your written comments to me by 5:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, July 27. You may e-mail your comments to bwoertz@caiso.com . As we indicated last Thursday, the ISO plans to hold a conference call to discuss this proposal and stakeholders' comments. We will send details on the call in the next day or two. In addition, we hope to issue a written response to comments we receive by Friday prior to the conference call. Byron B.
