Below are the notes from our lobbyist who attended the meeting today of
opponents for the language to change the requirements for those getting e-signatures for selling products and services to small customers. From the diversity of the group opposing the bill and the fact that the Attorney General and Peace are involved, I recommend that we stay on the sidelines and monitor this. The bill applies to small customers so it does not effect us at present. What are your thoughts? Sue Mara Enron Corp. Tel: (415) 782-7802 Fax:(415) 782-7854 ----- Forwarded by Susan J Mara/NA/Enron on 07/12/2001 10:39 PM ----- "Scott Govenar" <sgovenar@govadv.com< 07/12/2001 04:59 PM Please respond to sgovenar To: "Jeff Dasovich" <jdasovic@enron.com<, "Susan J Mara" <smara@enron.com< cc: Subject: AB 256 As I mentioned earlier this week, my associate Cliff Berg, representing AOL, co-sponsored a meeting in our office today regarding AB 256 (Wayne). The meeting was run by Kay Caldwell on behalf of the Internet Alliance. Kay was the one who contacted Jeff Dodd in Houston who I believe contacted one or both of you. The bill is being opposed by AOL, Microsoft, Charles Schwab, CMTA, Chamber, GTE/Verizon, AEA, Retailers, Financial Services Association and the Internet Alliance. All of those parties are scheduled to meet with Assembly Member Wayne at different times on Wednesday to try and get him to drop the bill which is being sponsored by the Attorney General. In the event that fails, the group is also trying to get the bill double-referred to the Senate Banking Committee where they have a much better chance of stopping it versus the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill will be heard by the Judiciary Committee on August 21. With respect to Enron's participation in any opposition effort, there was some concern that the Judiciary Committee may not be the best place because Peace is on that committee and would likely do anything to get at Enron (support?). Regardless of anyone's concerns we could submit a letter of opposition so long as someone provides me with the general framework. Please advise. Scott
