Market Participants:
The California ISO values Stakeholders' comments on the Congestion Management Reform (CMR) proposal released on July 11, 2000. Both your positive and negative responses are essential to guide us in refining the CMR recommendation. We have prepared the attached template for you to use in submitting your comments. Receiving your comments in this format will enable us to understand and respond to your input efficiently. We will also post this template at http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/congestionreform.html <http://www.caiso.com/clientserv/congestionreform.html<; under the heading "Congestion Management Reform Recommendation - DRAFT." In the first section, we ask that you respond to the following two questions (summary answers, bulleted lists, etc. are fine): 1. Which fundamental market design features and principles identified in the proposal should be kept? Why? 2. Which fundamental market design features and principles identified in the proposal should be removed? Why? In the second section, please provide detailed comments on specific sections of the proposal using the template provided. We have structured the template to facilitate your detailed comments on Sections 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and Appendices A and B, since these are the sections that contain the main features of the proposal. The template also includes a space for general comments on sections 1, 2, 3, 5 and 11. Since Section 6 is an overview of the proposal, we have not included a comment section in the template for that section. We ask that comments include: * Which main features you think should be retained and why; * Which main features you think should be removed or modified. Please be specific on why, and how you would modify that feature to address the problem you have identified; and * Which features and details you think are missing and should be added, why, and how you suggest adding that feature. All three parts-what, why and how you recommend changing the proposal-are necessary for us to respond to your comments. We would like to emphasize our need to receive your comments on features of the proposal that you like. Reviews can tend to focus on features with which reviewers are dissatisfied. Without hearing support for features that stakeholders like, it is possible that some broadly supported features could be changed or eliminated, based on others' stated disagreement. Please submit your initial comments by 5:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, July 28. There will be other opportunities for feedback, but we would like to include a summary of Stakeholders' initial comments in our discussion with the ISO Governing Board on August 1. Please send your comments, using the attached template, via e-mail to bwoertz@caiso.com <mailto:bwoertz@caiso.com< and use the phrase "CMR Proposal - Stakeholder Comments" in the Subject line. We plan to treat your comments as public and to include a summary of Stakeholders' comments with the materials that will go to the ISO Governing Board and/or to FERC. The California ISO greatly appreciates the time, effort and expertise Stakeholders have contributed to the CMR process. We look forward to receiving your valuable comments to allow us to further refine and improve this proposal. <<000714 Stakeholder Feedback Template.doc<< Byron Woertz Director, Client Relations - 000714 Stakeholder Feedback Template.doc
