Peter
got your voice but it was a little late to call. I will call you tonight. But
let me briefly cover the points you mentioned

On insurance I have faxed across our legal opinion on weather. We prepared a
detailed discussion on insurance in a schedule. But the main point is that
there is no nexus between damage/loss suffered by a party and payments under
the weather derivative.
On access to data Christian Werner in Sydney is researching alternatives. I
was proposing to forward details of these arrangements so they could be
double checked by B &M.
Mark Taylor has been copied in on our documentation (GTCs and product
description form) for Australian weather. We have also been working with Paul
Simon, Edmund Cooper and Justin Boyd in London.

Korea is becoming more of a possibility. Although not settled that we will be
offering these products it is becoming more likely. Hence we may have some
work there.

Subject: EOL Weather Derivatives - Japan (Legal Advice)

Alan further to our discussion last week. Attached is request for further
advice from Baker and McKenzie on trading weather products with Japanese
counterparties through EOL. As discussed would you forward it to B & M. The
date of the previous advice which indicated there are no regulatory issues
with weather trading needs to be inserted in 2 places. (Would you be able to
send me a copy of this advice.)

We need to have all legal issues resolved prior to 23 June. This is the
scheduled date for function the public function to launch of EOL weather
trading in Australia . We plan to trade Tokyo and Osaka in addition to
Australian cities. There was discussion of Seoul weather products but this
has not progressed. If it does then will need to do the required due
diligence for Korea.
