We will discuss this on the 2:30 pm call Tues. I think what NERC needs to know is that their job is not done. Big issues were tied into the Stakeholder's recommendation - changes in governance, voting, funding. The idea of expanding NERC's role is not for the sole purpose of getting NERC to develop business practices - but rather get NERC to recognize the market and commercial needs in its reliability rules. Presently, NERC focuses on reliability rules and considers commercial impacts as a secondary issue. This is what the Stakeholders wish to change. We must make sure that message is not misconstrued by spin-doctors. To ensure, this, the charter of NERC would need to change and the idea of a Self-Regulated Organization should cease. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Nevius [mailto:Dave.Nevius@nerc.net] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 3:30 PM To: Yeung, Charles; Bestard, Jose Cc: DNC (E-mail) Subject: New Role for NERC Jose and Charles Given the actions taken by the NERC Stakeholders Committee and Board last week, we need to take steps to broaden stakeholder support and endorsement of these recommendations, especially the one dealing with NERC taking on an expanded role for the development of business practice standards in addition to reliability standards. At the FERC panel discussion last Thursday on standardizing business practices, it was pretty clear that FERC is not going to make this call, but rather leave it up to the industry to decide who assumes this responsibility. In this regard, we would welcome the support of Enron and EPSA. Give me a call when you can so we can discuss where Enron is on this, and how you might help gain EPSA's support. Thanks. dave PS - I still remember that at the 1995 FERC Technical Conference on OASIS it was Rick Shapiro who first spoke up in response to Betsy Moler's question about who should take on the responsibility for developing OASIS standards. Maybe Enron wants to be the first one to publicly endorse the "New NERC" as the one-stop shop for wholesale electric standards.
