Re: Out of Office

I think doing a EGM only prc is probably the right way to go. We will need
to do a good job (and have the ability to cross calibrate) understanding the
other business units performance as well.

Subject: Out of Office

I have been selected by Enron to attend a two week Global Consulting Alliance
HR Leadership Program in Ann Arbor. I'll be out of the office beginning
Monday, October 2, returning on Monday, October 16.

In my absence, Shanna Funkhouser will be handling all EGM issues. David
Oxley has offered his assistance during this 2 week period as well. I will
be in touch with both Shanna and David while I'm gone to address any critical
issues. I have asked Shanna to attend the EGM OOC Staff Meetings in my
absence.

On another note, and I recognize there are signficant business issues you
both are dealing with, but we need to start thinking about the PRC process.
Specific questions that EGM business heads have asked are:

With the exception of VP's and above, do we want to isolate EGM employees
and review them only within EGM, regardless of location?

Or, do we want to segregate those EGM employees below VP that were formerly
EEL or ENA and review them separately with EEL or ENA?

(ex., Europe, Singapore, Sydney, etc. employees review with EEL; North
American based employees review with ENA

We'll have to integrate the former CALME employees as well.

Shawna and I have ascertained that your management team would prefer a
separate EGM PRC so employees can be evaluated with peers in global emerging
markets, rather than with mature (and high revenue generating) markets like
North America gas and power.

Obviously, this is your call. But time is growing near to plan for whatever
direction we decide to go in. The PRC system opens for feedback on approx.
10/20/00. PRC meetings need to be held between 11/20/00 and 12/15/00.

Thanks,
