I'd like to see his resume. I don't know that California work will be
particularly informative--given the uniqueness of that great state, but we no
doubt can find a use for his skills. I would want to see his CV. It would
be a nonstarter for me if he was unwilling to travel to SFO or Portland on
regular basis. However, the travel could be 3-4 days a week--i.e., he could
travel up on Monday and go home on Thursday. (Or some other such schedule).

Rick - I just got a call from Ian Fletcher, head of the Utilities Regulation
unit at the UK Department of Trade and Industry. He reports to Anna Walker,
the Director General of Energy at the DTI. Ian also knows Paul, and I am
sure that he only called me because he now knew of my US location. Anyway,
here is what he asked: They have a highly regarded junior civil servant,
Edward Barker (Paul and I have both met him, and rate him high), who is
getting married, and wants to locate to Los Angeles for a year while his
fiance/wife completes a Ph.D. at some school there. The UK DTI will keep
paying him, so he is effectively free to us. They want a relevant job/work
experience for him. Ian does not know about his willingness to commute
during the week from San Francisco to LA (I told Ian we were receptive to
these kinds of things, if all else worked out), but will check. I think it
would be good for Enron (Paul D. may have views on this), not only for
endearing Enron to key relationships at DTI, but exposing a UK civil servant
to the transparency of our regulation, US-style, cannot hurt either, as that
is something Paul is on a long march to improve in the UK. I would think
challenging research, attendance at settlement conferences, some memo
writing, etc. would be sufficient (actually, that would be a bit below the
policy-formation role he now occupies), but do you have any thoughts? I can
get his CV when you need it. thanks mcs
