This forum will be held on December 7th, and is designed to provide an opportunity for open discussion on the organizational structure needed to represent the wholesale electric interests in the development of market-based standards and types of standards that should be addressed. As with the previous industry-wide meetings held on standards development activities for the wholesale and retail natural gas and electric topics, the DOE has graciously offered its facilities for the meeting site. The meeting specifics are below and a draft agenda is attached. WHERE: Department of Energy Forrestal Building 1000 Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20585 ROOM: Large Auditorium, Room GE-086 WHEN: Friday, December 7th 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The nature of the debate should address the framework for an organization whose role would be to develop wholesale electric standards, including scope of activity, segments for each of the industry quadrants, and any additional key principles that are necessary. As supporting information for the meeting is prepared, which would include a more detailed agenda, it will be posted on the GISB web site, (www.gisb.org) and sent out to both the Regulatory Affairs Committee and the NERC Working Group. A draft agenda for the meeting is attached.
