Re: EPMI on SPP Board

Jim -

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. While I'm still checking, I am
not aware that there is a "formal process" for being a board member of a
non-corporate entity like SPP. We would, however, want to look at the
equivalent of SPPs Bylaws to make sure that members are not going to be
liable for actions taken and to see if SPP has something like D&O insurance,
protecting the members. We can talk to SPP and see what there is. Let me
know if you want us to request/review documents. Thanks

Elizabeth --

Ron McNamara heads up Government Affairs activities for SPP. He has been
asked to be a member of the SPP Board. This would be great for EPMI because
we would have more ability to influence SPP and its actions regarding opening
the market.

What form of approval do we need to have internally (if any) before Ron can
become a SPP Board Member? Are there any internal restrictions on this type
of activity?

Not sure if there are any risks, but I want to make sure that Ron won't be
harmed by pursuing this opportunity.

Thanks,

Jim

As I mentioned to you Nick Brown has put my name on the ballot to be a member
of the SPP Board. The election is at the next meeting (a week from Tuesday).
