Hi Jeff:
March seems a long ways away right now, but we are trying to put together the program for the sixth annual POWER Conference on Electricity Industry Restructuring, which will be March 16 in Berkeley. The conference is divided into 4 sessions, each with two papers. We would like to invite you to be a discussant in the fourth session (program below). It would involve just a 10 minute discussion of one or both papers and then participating in the Q&A. Would you be interested?
