Jeff: I have followed up with other DOE politicals who advised they will
meet this Thursday with Bob Gee to finalize and approve his speech to NARUC on Monday, July 24th. It is looking positive that he may be positioned to make the announcement Monday. However, DOE will likely need to revisit some folks on the current Blue Ribbon Reliability Panel in order to replace some of the utility transmission-only focused members with others who focus on business practices plus add additional people to represent the internet like APX, Altra, and HoustonStreet.Com. (these are Steve Kean's suggestions.) Too, I have been cautioned about referring to the Blue Ribbon Reliability Panel as a model since their timeline was slow, but rather suggest the TVA Blue Ribbon Panel model since they were able to issue a report after only four meetings. I have asked for this issue to be brought to Secretary Richardson's attention and advised this will be done this week. I have also discussed this with John Anderson of ELCON who is supportive.

Bob appeared comfortable with establishing a "Blue Ribbon" panel, similar to the reliability panel, to address this issue. In fact, Bob suggested that the reliability panel, which includes a balance of key stakeholders, could be re-tasked with this issue. We recommended that the focus of any panel should be on the structure (governance, segments, executive committees) and scope of the organization (retail, wholesale, gas, electric). Bob plans to follow-up with us next week. Jeff
