After our IOS adventure last week, I put together the following questions=
=20
that need to be resolved. Some of them have needed to be resolved for quit=
e=20
some time. Tony, let's talk since I think some of these have already been=
=20
discussed and maybe resolved in the context of developing TW's EnronOnline=
=20
site, and I just need to get up to speed. To the extent there aren't answe=
rs=20
yet, I'll get busy researching. Drew -- comments? Shall we all get on the=
=20
phone & discuss this?

List of TW contracting issues

1. Reevaluate the following in the context of current FERC negotiated rate=
=20
policy:

a. Transwestern's current form discount letter states: "[t]he total char=
ge=20
shall include all applicable surcharges." Should this language be revised=
,=20
and if so, how?

b. Transwestern usually charges one-part rates, and includes language in=
=20
its discount letter stating that Transwestern shall allocate the combined=
=20
rate between the reservation and commodity components inclusive of=20
surcharges. Are one-part rates really negotiated rates? material deviatio=
ns=20
from the tariff?=20

c. Transwestern's discount letter includes a statement that in no event=
=20
shall the contract rate be greater than the maximum or lower than the minim=
um=20
rates provided in Transwestern=01,s tariff. This was intended as assurance=
that=20
the contract is not a negotiated rate. Is this language still effective? =
=20
necessary?

2. IOS/EnronOnline:

a. When should IOS be conducted, if at all?

b. Once notice of IOS or EnronOnline bidding has been posted, can the=20
subject capacity still be sold off-line (i.e., pursuant to traditional=20
bidding procedures)?

c. Is our system for IOS and EnronOnline set up to handle max rate biddin=
g=20
situations in a nondiscriminatory manner and in compliance with the bid=20
evaluation procedures in the tariff? If not, what changes need to be made?
