Alan ---------------------- Forwarded by Alan Aronowitz/HOU/ECT on 04/18/2000 11:34 AM --------------------------- Darren Maloney@ENRON 04/13/2000 05:37 PM To: Mark Taylor/HOU/ECT@ECT, Alan Aronowitz/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Jay Fitzgerald/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Feedback--Legal Checklist Gentlemen, We have put together a template to help with the conceptualization of eBusiness opportunities for the Enron Net Works Group. This is a broad attempt to put some structure around the multitude of issues that must be addressed to validate and correctly conceive these ventures (in addition to reducing redundancy). In regards to the legal analysis that must be conducted, I have attached the relevant excerpt below. Essentially, the list is to help internal sponsors and managers understand the issues at hand prior to and during the formation of these businesses, and be able to talk to legal experts such as yourselves about the business' role in the context of material legal issues. I would appreciate your comments--any and all are welcome. Potentially, triggers or thresholds for "classification" may be relevant, but I defer to your judgement those issues that may be of relevance to the non-legal businessperson. I look forward to your responses.
