Scott - I have a few more relevant facts for you:

1. Peter Quine's letterhead (re: letter received by V&E 11 Aug 2000) shows an
apparent company name of 'e-nvironmental trading'. Yet, interestingly, the
squatted enronmetals.com website has references per Fig. 1 below to:

- 'WE ARE ENVIRONMETALS' - appears upon mouse-over of the faux logo '
ENviRONMEnTALS.COM'
- 'Manufactured Metal Miscellany'

If Mr. Quine were acting in good faith, I believe he should have a good
explanation for the what the connection might be between 'environmentals
trading' and 'manufactured metals miscellany'. Is he concerned with
environmentals or environmetals ? (Please See Figure 3 and comments below to
see the rather dubious connection between the two.)

Fig. 1 - www.enronmetals.com - homepage



Figure 2 - 'Contact Us' page

- This is misleading/misrepresentative since users would be led to believe
that they may be contacting Enron Metals (vs. e-nvironmental trading) when
they are invited to send email to : 'anyquestions@enronmetals.com'


Figure 3 - 'About Us' page

- contains text:
'We are a Brighton based group whose aim is to bring together
makers-suppliers-collectors
of environmentally-friendly
metals objets'





In addition, I checked on the register.com site and found that the website:
www.environmetals.com has NOT been registered to anyone and is still
available for purchase. I would argue that if Peter Quine were acting in
good faith, he would have already purchased this name .

Also, can you contact EasySpace, the host/ISP for both enronmetals.com and
enronmetals.co.uk to instruct them that the names are in dispute so we can
have the .com site suspended? The enronmetals.co.uk site simply calls up a
'holding page' at the moment:




EasySpace can be reached at:

Technical Contact, Registrar:
"Mr Easyspace Hostmaster" <hostmaster@easyspace.com<
Phone: http://www.easyspace.com/ Fax: +44 1932 350 222

(For the .co.uk name, I believe Nominet (http://www.nominet.org.uk/) will
have to authorize the ownership transfer, whereas for the .com name,
EasySpace should be able to handle the transfer).

Hope this helps.
-Paul

Timeline with Relevant Facts/Events:

18 May '00 - Enron announces acquisition of MG plc (soon to be renamed Enron
Metals Limited)
18 Jun '00 - Peter Quine purchases two domain names: EnronMetals.com and
EnronMetals.co.uk

<<correspondence among parties - Enron ext. legal counsel, Scott Brown of
Vinson & Elkins LLP, and Mr. Peter Quine - <<

21 Jul ' 00 - Letter from Vinson & Elkins sent to Peter Quine
7 Aug' 00 - Letter sent by Peter Quine to Vinson & Elkins (letter received
11 Aug '00)
22 Aug '00 - Email from Scott Brown to Peter Quine
???

The documents corresponding to the above dates were already forwarded to you
by Justin Boyd. Further relevant facts may be forthcoming from Felipe Foy of
our IT team, but I believe you now have more than sufficient factual
information to proceed with this.

I also strongly suggest that the ISPs hosting these sites are immediately
notified of pending arbitration in both the US and UK so that the 2 websites
will be suspended from operation immediately. I believe in the US (and
v.likkely the UK) that the hosting ISP must by law suspend any websites until
the domain name dispute resolution process has been carried out, though I may
be mistaken.
