Steve,

I am most disheartened to hear that Dale Neuner regards my previous
conversation with he and Mark Taylor as the justification for why EOL cannot
accomodate GPG pipeline capacity transactions.

During the discussion in Mark's office, Dale explained that currently all EOL
users can run reports and see all the details of transactions. As currently
structured this would mean that any EOL user, including ENA, would be able to
run a report to see detail behind bids on pipeline capacity. Obviously this
would be a problem under the marketing affiliate rules. We discussed three
possible ways to address this:

Add security such that ENA/EES users cannot run reports on pipeline bid
data. I understood leaving the meeting that this might be technically
difficult or expensive.
Exclude pipeline data from the reporting feature altogether. Here the story
was that while this was not necessarily difficult, EOL could not make any
changes before version 2 was ready. The impression was that this would be
possible after version 2.
Erect procedural firewalls. Mark Taylor suggested that perhaps we could
inform all ENA and EES personnel that the company has a policy that prevents
them from running reports on GPG data. This probably isn't a good long-run
solution, but we all agreed that it might serve as a bridge measure. This
approach is supported by the fact that Enron Networks has already entered
into a confidentiality agreement with GPG.

I left the meeting thinking that one or all of these options was feasible and
have not had any correspondence to the contrary since the meeting.
