I will not get in from Brussels till Thursday morning. Maybe a quick lunch
after "legal/regulatory" strategy meeting on Thursday, or early Thursday
afternoon before we leave for Hanbury Manor?

Things have moved on since May and Paul is now engaged with HR in recruiting
one or two German national analysts/ associates for an initial rotation in
our group. (Advert was placed a couple of weeks ago.) I think we will need
one for France soon too, but I am holding off as long as Antoine Duvauchelle
is on temp. contract with us.
When you're in London next week for our offsite, suggest you touch base with
Shaw and Baumerich (and Radmacher if he happens to be over from Frankfurt),
as well as Thompson. I will be happy to talk to you after that on subject if
you wish.

FYI in confidence for now, if you wouldn't mind. (For some reason Baumerich
did not want to copy Paul H.) I can give you the background when we next
speak. (Nailia, Bruno, Teun, Brendan and I are working on some interesting
appointments/ events/ visits for you w/c 4 June.)

Subject: Re: REGULATORY AFFAIRS - BOY ARE WE IN TROUBLE

Gregor, as discussed, I will call after my meeting with Rabensteiner this
morning to discuss. In general my assumptions and thoughts are as follows....

a) Medium term, we need to move in the direction of having local nationals -
instead of AngloSaxons - as our
lead face deep in the Germanic regulatory arena. Styles & Hennemeyer will,
no doubt, continue to have
significant leadership roles; but, there is no substitute for locals.
b) As the markets get more liquid, especially as clearer national and
regulatory bodies become established, the
opportunity for RegAffairs value add increases - not decreases. Greater
liquidity and transparency will
increase the relative importance of transmission conditions.
c) Market concentration is a big problem and will get much bigger. This will
occupy a lot of time over the next few
years.
d) Inevitably, some of the people we hire will go commercial, others will not
work-out and others will leave Enron.
If we try for 6 to 8, we will be lucky to get 3 or 4 by year end. Of that,
we will be lucky if 2 or 3 are successful
RegAffairs people 2 years later. It takes 2 years to grow our own top
quality professional. We are behind.
e) The gas market has only begun to move. After a two year fight in that
market we will then have to content with
gas/power convergence which will introduce yet a new set of concentration
and transmission and plant siting
issues.
f) Historically, our RegAffairs people have been our most effective
communicators in the public arena including
the media. As liquidity increases, the pressure to do deals will grow
exponentially on commercial leads with
the result that they will step further and further away from the public
communicatioins arena. But, particularly
in Europe, we will continue for a long time to need to maintain a certain
level of public profile. Best done by
a RegAffairs person rather than someone who should be out doing a deal.

I will call later this morning. Thanks. John T.

I don't think we should make such an effort. Let's discuss.
