My first reaction to this meeting was pretty negative. It seems like alot of
busywork. My second reaction was to recognize that Enron has a long term
strategy of getting to know the insiders at AAA better, so there is some
benefit to the meeting. However,there has to be a tightly controlled agenda
or our business people(and lawyers) will lose patience quickly. The
transactional lawyer who is responsible for EnronOnline is Mark Taylor ext
37459. I explained what was going on and he is expecting you call.

Talked with Gerry today and he and his group are coming to meet with me next
week. He suggested we get a "business type" involved. Since this is B2B
oriented can you suggest someone from Louise Kitchen's group (aren't they
doing the B2B internet transactions?) Should I just contact someone in her
group directly?

Dear Mr. Sanders -
?
While I left a you a phone message with some information about our project,
I thought I could give you some additional details by e-mail as well...
?
We are still very interested in having Enron support our eCommerce Dispute
Management Protocol.? We have had enthusiastic responses from companies such
as AT&T, Duke Energy, Pitney Bowes and DaimlerChrysler, and I would be
pleased to answer any questions you may have about this focal point for our
educational efforts.? The real purpose of my call, however, is related to
the services we will provide to support the aspirational statements of the
Protocol.

I am a member of the design group that has been developing the American
Arbitration Association's dispute management systems and services for
eCommerce B2B transactions.? At this time we are putting together small
working groups to validate some of our assumptions and refine our initial
service offerings.

Initially our design group, along with perhaps one of our technology
consultants, would like to meet with a group of Enron people for half a
day.? Ideally this group would consist of four to six people from finance,
legal, and operations so that we get good cross-functional feedback about
our services.? Before the meeting we would provide you with a brief
description of our proposed service offerings and a list of points for
discussion at the meeting.

The real focus of the meeting will be on how we should build these services
to meet the needs of businesses operating in B2B marketplaces.? We are very
concerned with providing services that are relevant to that environment.

We would like to meet between November 14 and?December 1?since construction
of our services is already underway.? Please let me know what is possible,
and feel free to give me a call if you have any questions (978-376-9004).
?
Thanks.
