The following additions and modifications to Stack Manager will be effective as of Saturday September 8, 2001.
Stack Manager Modifications Inactivate All Stack - In addition to the individual Activate/Inactive Stack buttons, there is now an Inactivate All Stack button.
Similar to the Suspend All button, this button will inactivate the trader's stack on all active products.
Any existing top of stack limit orders will continue to post to the website and remain transactable.
See screen shot below: Inactivate All Stack button on far right.
Please note that we have switched the positions of the suspend and inactivate buttons in Stack Manager.
Fill Order - If a product is set up as either Restricted Top of Stack or Top of Stack the trader now has the ability to automatically fill any order that is at the top of the stack.
In order to fill a limit order that is at the top of the product's stack, which will appear in pink, the trader should right click anywhere on the stack window and choose "Fill order".
The volume filled on an order will be that which is offered by the trader.
In order to fill the complete volume of the order, the trader will need to adjust the volume in his stack.
Floated Stack windows - If the stack is inactive on a product, the price and volume fields on the my products tab will continue to be blank.
On the depth window and floated stack window of these products the trader's prices will be in gray and italics.
Children of products that have inactive stacks will not be gray and italicised in the floated stack windows and will not see the calculated prices.
No Auto Inactivate Stack - It is now possible to keep a product active even if the trader is not logged into Stack Manager.
If the trader wishes to enable this functionality on the upper right corner of the product properties page the trader should choose "No Auto Inactivate when Stack Manager is down".
Changes regarding Suspension of products Stack Manager will inactivate products rather than suspend them in the following cases: ?
Market Close - If a product is active at the end of its trading hours its stack will automatically become inactive rather than suspending.
In order to keep a product's stack active past the set trading hours, the trader should choose "Keep Awake" next to the trading hours section of the product properties page.
?
Auto Suspend now inactivates stack - On a product with the Auto Suspend function enabled to monitor the price changes on the product, the product's stack will be inactivated if the Suspend at level is reached.
This feature can be used by checking the Enable box on the product properties page under the Auto Suspend section.
?
Logging Out of Stack Manager- When you log out of Stack Manager without inactivating or suspending your products, the system will now inactivate your products rather than suspending them.

We will let you know as soon as a program is available.
In the meantime, members are encouraged to get cash one of these ways to avoid fees: - Use your VISA Check Card to get cash back at merchants.
These are fee-free transactions.

We are making plans to expand when possible.
We added several tellers this year to help the traffic flow in the teller area and are now filled to capacity at all stations.
As you know, the teller lines are sometimes heavy on paydays.
To help minimize your wait time, here are a few other options to handle your transactions: - Make deposits & withdrawals at our ATMs in the Enron Building Lobby or 3 Allen Center.

Hi everyone, Here we are almost at month end, and as of gas day 10/29/2001, almost all shippers need adjustments to their nominations in order to balance to zero by 10/31/2001.
OGE is about the only shipper that is totally balanced out.
Some shippers need bigger adjustments than others.
Please remind your shippers that any balance left will transferred to their Park & Ride contract where they will incur a carry-over MIC on November 1, 2001, plus they will also incur a penalty MIC on their packet for the month of October.
Thanks for your help in this matter.

Hello, Xcel has requested that we provide an afternoon of training at their offices in Denver (similar to last year).
The training would go from 12:00 PM - 4:30 PM on 11/15/01 and would cover any nomination/scheduling questions they have.
Xcel has also asked to have someone there to specifically address capacity release and the final AM true-up process.
Please let me know who you would recommend as representatives from NNG.
I would like to get back to Xcel by this Thursday regarding our attendees.

I talked to Lavila Lawrence with Duke Energy Field Services, LP.
and she advised me that the GPM Dumas Plant (POI 18058) is going to be shutdown effective January 1, 2002.
They will diverting some of the gas to other pipelines and any gas that will be coming to NNG will come through interconnects that David Moon takes care of in the Texas Panhandle.
She said "They wouldn't have to de-rhime that plant anymore!
", which gave me the impression that the cost of maintenance might be the reason for the shutdown.
Any questions, please call.

Gary and Caroline, as of today, we have emailed a list by station (7 and/or 16 day charts) to the measurement group which needs to be read for PPA's to correct the daily volumes fro the following shippers: MidAmerican - 147 stations (It is my understanding you have already 44 of the 147) IES - 87 stations Interstate Power - 6 stations Wisconsin Power and Light - 11 stations In order for Gas Logistics to keep track of the ones that need to be corrected, we would like for Measurement to send us updates on the following information ASAP: 1.
Which station numbers have or have not been corrected for October.
2.
How many October charts have been received and how many are outstanding 3.
Provide status of November chart information.
Gas Logistics needs the October corrections in the system by December 19th, which is the time frame for the first prior period run.
This is important for us to be able to review the prior period invoices.
As you find there are missing charts, if we can be of assistance in calling the field, please let us know.
This way, the measurement group can concentrate on reading the charts.
We appreciate your assistance and help in tracking these prior periods and helping each of us to keep focused to get these prior period corrections done by the next months billing.
If you have any questions, please let Rick or I know.
Thanks.

Due to the complications I am having with my right eye following the Lasik Enhancement, I am going to be going to the eye doctor more frequently than planned.
I have another appointment at the eye doctor tomorrow Thursday, the 13th @ 2:15 pm.
Since this will basically consume most of the afternoon I went ahead and made a follow-up appointment with my primary care doctor.

Hi Lynn, Hadn't had a chance to touch base with you since all of the Enron problems.
Wanted to let you know how badly I feel for everything that has happened.
Enron is too fine a company to have something like this happen.
You have so many great employees in the organization.
Many, like yourself, I consider to be not only business associates, but friends.
I just wanted to send a quick note expressing my sorrow for all the stress you and others are having to endure.
We support you 100%.
Things will get better.
Hopefully, you can find some joy in the upcoming holiday season.
Sincerely,
| ENRON |

I would like to conduct a conference call with you to go over a few of the items which will require Gas Logistics' input.
I'll call you at 2:30 today.
| Alliant Energy Meeting Notes |
Frank, This email will confirm that MidAmerican will not be paid for the November gas purchase amount of $1,558,687.65, since they have already shortpaid their transportation invoice by this amount.
I spoke with Mark Walton in Finance this afternoon, and he said that they are aware of the situation and have already taken the appropriate actions to cancel the wire transfer that would have gone out to MidAmerican later this month.
Also, FYI, I did check with the Contracts Group about payment terms in GISB agreements.
Section 7.2 of the GISB form stipulates the payment date as being the 25th day of the month following the month of delivery.
I spoke with Renee Perry in Gas Logistics this afternoon, and she is looking into compiling an invoice for finance charges on the balance shortpaid for the period November 12th - November 25th.
Please call me if you need further information.
Thanks,

Lynn, any update yet from Gary or Caroline as to the updates you requested in your December 11 email?
I am finalizing a letter to Alliant and would like to provide them with an expectation as to the October PPA's.
Specifically, will all the October charts be corrected?
Further, Alliant wants Gas Logistics to tag the PPA's.
Specifically, Alliant requested the differences are identified by gate and amount of change.
Is this possible?

Joe, As discussed, please repath January 2001 for contract 101559.
I have input the rates on the invoice that Jeff Nielsen said he agreed to.
However, there are certain paths for the same period of time that Oneok indicated different rates for each.
They should be consistent so I input one rate for all paths on a Mid to Mid basis.
Therefore, after you repath the invoice, we will still have a difference.
I want to write-off whatever balance still exists after repathing.
Please prepare the write-off documentation and I will sign.
We need to be sure to do this before we go into next year.
Also, this is the only invoice you have provided me that had issues on this contract which I find hard to believe.
Can you double-check to see that there are no other A/R issues for this IT contract and let me know ASAP.
Thanks!

Below is an Excel spreadsheet that shows all outstanding November 2001 TW transportation invoices mailed to ENA on 12/03/01 in which they were designated as the payor.
Of the $569,434.56 invoiced, $213,603.58 was through our capacity release program as the acquiring shipper for two Citizens Communications Company contracts.
Another $226,350.00 was for ENA acting as agent for Eastern New Mexico Gas Association, Enervest San Juan Operating, LLC, and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
The remaining $129,480.98 is for their own contracts with TW.
Please see the attached schedule for the details.

The meeting yesterday with about 7 small producers in Okla went fairly well.
It is obvious that they now realize that the cost of processing, if necessary is there obligation, not Northerns.
We heard the same rhetoric about the history, for the past 30 years it is has been a "wet" system and they entered into contracts without any processing obligations.
Northern' can't change due to this and historical operation and "unwaive" the high c6+ based on the highest receipt levels.
They (Dan?? )
was very insistent that if a problem occurred, all shippers should be pro rated and NNG's tariff should be enforced at the tailgate of the Bushton plant, not the point of receipt as the tariff currently states.
They asked us to file to change, potentially incorporate a default processing agreement that had to be used in the event of high concentrations of C6+-- I think you get the drift of the discussions-- don't just cut my gas, cut everyone
| Producer meeting |
Attached is an excel spreadsheet showing the gas quality at all the points in the Bushton Universe.
I have sorted the information by POI #, BTU content, carbon dioxide content, helium content, C6+ content and nitrogen content.
The POI listing is consistent with the official Bushton Universe list used for Gas Logistics purposes with the following exceptions: 1.
POIs # 71315 and # 71316 are not on the attached list since they are pooling points and will not have gas composition information.
2.
POI # 59685 Richfield Gas Storage/NNG Stevens is on the attached list twice.
The gas composition information is tied to meter # 658429 and the throughput activity is reported by the summation meter # 660018.
3.
POI # 1309 CNG/Beaver - C Line Receipt is including in the attached data since the CNG Beaver processing plant is not running at this time.
The CNG volume is flowing to the Bushton Plant as strangers gas.
Once everyone has gotten a chance to look at this information I would like to have another meeting to discuss the data.
A video conference has been set as follows: Day Thursday Date January 3, 2002 Time 1:30 to 3:00 pm Location 42C2 Houston and 696 Omaha Feel free to give me a call if you have questions.

We have reviewed the assignments Jean sent out earlier in the week.
At this time I think the split is OK.
I would like for you to put in writing for me the following: Who is your back up on critical reports, etc when you are out.
I would like for that back up to be someone that was NOT on your original team.
This may help us address the issue of the two "old" teams merging.
For example I am assuming if one rep has the shipper business and another rep has the operator business for the same company, then those two reps should back each other's desk.
Randy Janzen is backing up Jean Adams desk on Lamar Power Plant since he has AEP which is shipper that does business at the Lamar Plant.
Scott and Kathy support each other's desk since Kathy has ElPaso as a Shipper and Scott has ElPaso as Operator.
Harry and Joe support each other on Oneok since Harry has Bushton and Joe has the gathering The areas of concern in relation to day to day business are below and need specific back up reps.

We finally found the right person in the KN Energy organization for the 18 dth Carlton Obligation.
KN will nominate today for Gas Day 26th going forward.
We told KN that they will have a penalty of $25.00 per dth for each day they did not nominate.
18 dth x 25.00 = $450/day x 3 days = $1350.
We also told them we have been leaving messages since Saturday.
We left messages at 3 different offices.
KN admitted to seeing the posting but "did not understand" the obligation and they did not call for clarification.
If you have any questions, please let John (Ext.

Team, I would like for you to review the attached Shipper assignment list.
With Renee leaving and Pat still on a learning curve, I wanted to throw out some possibilities and get your input.
I did not spend a lot of time on interconnects, so you may want to look at those closely.
I did talk with John, Terry, Raetta and Larry for input.
Please review, discuss and set up some time to visit with me about your comments.
Thanks.

Lynn, Koch is the agent for IES nominations.
On the accounting side, IES pays their own invoices.
WP&L, Interstate Power, IEA and IES are all under Alliant, but they operate independently.
Kathy Washington currently handles the scheduling for IES since she handles Koch, and also IES accounting since they pay their own invoices.
However, each month Kathy Washington gives the IES invoices to Jean to include with Alliant's mailout.
Hope this explains everything!
Give me a call if you have any questions.
Thanks,

John and Terry, could you check into having a Business Objects report done for all groupings with the following information.
Previous Cyclce Nomination Current Nomination Confirmation Schedule Confirmation piece is not critical if that prolongs getting the report.
The reason for the report - Gas Control needs to know what changes have taken place and this will prevent the teams from doing a manual report.
If we already have access to something similar to this, let me know.
I would like to be able run this report during cycle.
(I think I am probably asking for the moon), but that would be the best time for Gas Control.
Thanks.

Mike Attached is the summary of the Carlsbad/Crawford/WT-1 oba.
The balance as of 11/30/2001 is $1,497,337.92 due Transwestern.
This balance will probably grow by an additional $50,000 due TW in 12/2001.
Please let me know if you desire additional detail.
Hopefully we already reconcile.
I will call Sharon Tischer on Wednesday January 2nd to discuss the other balances that exist between TW and DEFSSW - and also the possibility of netting the Hobbs and Artesia payable balances against the Crawford and Waha receivable balances.

Dave, We have made good progress on our NNG accounts receivable clean up effort.
We will have a transportation write-off package for you to review later this week.
Our previous observation that most of the outstanding dollars are tied to work orders was correct.
John Cobb and I spoke and he will focus on researching these work orders and will submit a separate write-off package.
My group has prepared some excellent detailed reports that should be useful to John's group.
We will let you know if we need assistance from you or your group.

Here are some thoughs on how we would account for the Offsystem Storage.
Facts NNG moves 100,000 dts from physical inventory to Offsystem inventory.
No accounting entry made to the G/L.
I will look into Form 2 physical reporting changes.
Offsystem inventory is reduced 2,000 dts to reflect in-kind fuel reduction.
Case 1 In-Kind is replaced by simple purchase from 3rd party, NNG incurrs the cost.
Debit 803 (Gas Purchases) or 858 (Fuel exp) 2,000 * cost of gas Credit A/P 2,000 * cost of gas Case 1 books all transactions outside of operational storage.
Reducing the Offsystem storage will cause UAF to increase, however purchasing gas for Operational Storage and not recording it to Operational Storage will offset the UAF increase.
Case 2 In-kind is replaced by Operational Storage, NNG incurrs the cost Debit 816 (Storage Fuel exp) 2,000 * MIP Credit 812 (Storage Fuel Credit) 2,000 * MIP Debit 808 (Storage Withdrawal) 2,000 * MIP Credit 1174 (Encroachment) 2,000 * MIP Case 3 In-kind is replaced by Operational Storage, Tracker incurrs the cost Debit 816 (Storage Fuel exp) 2,000 * MIP Credit 812 (Storage Fuel Credit) 2,000 * MIP Debit 808 (Storage Withdrawal) 2,000 * MIP Credit 1174 (Encroachment) 2,000 * MIP Debit 1823 (Storage Fuel Tracker) 2,000 * MIP Credit 805 (Storage Fuel Recovery) 2,000 * MIP

Beginning 10/1/2001, TMS stopped excluding city gates locations from the allocation, thereby they would be subject to allocation, where they were not before, this was requested by John Buchanan.
Unfortunately or fortunately, NNG customers do not nominate a large portion of their gas to theses city gate locations, rather they nominate to the zone locations, so there is a 99.9% probability, that these city gates would never have to be allocated any way.
Currently in TMS we exclude the zone nomination locations (OPS type) from the allocation process.
Therefore my question is, since we wanted to include the city gates in the allocation process do we also want to include the zone delivery locations in the allocation process?
Bewlow is a list of OPS type points.

I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the changes that we have had so far to the available short-term sustainable/daily capacity approvals/postings.
The attached file shows the points that have been approved as potential points for short term sustainable and/or daily capacity.
We currently have 20,000 MMBtu/day posted as available short term sustainable capacity for the month of November for Ventura and Demarc as receipts.
We also have 3,600 MMBtu/day posted as available short term sustainable capacity for the month of November for East leg deliveries.
Daily we may/may not have available 5,000 East Leg delivery capacity and 20,000 Carlton delivery capacity.
Several of the points that have been approved for sale of short term capacity if it becomes available currently show no available firm capacity for the rest of November.
These points include: TBPL/Beatrice, Pony Express, and Mullinville as receipts and Keystone as a delivery.
If gas control and planning determine we can support additional receipts/deliveries at these points, the available capacity postings could change.
If you have questions or would like to know where the postings are located on our website, let me know.
Also, please forward this on to other members of your team that I haven't included above.
Thanks.

Mike/Steve - we have verified all of the volume information and our numbers are correct.
Their numbers do not include prior period adjustments in the correct production month and our PVR volumes are correct and agree with the worksheets that they sent us even though they didn't use the correct volumes for the PVR on their worksheets.
We still cannot figure out how they got to the amounts that they invoiced us.
Please let me know if we are going to go back to those months that we underbilled them so that NNG can recoup that money.
If you have any questions, let me know.

Per my conversation with Chris this morning, she wanted me to pass this information on regarding some of the things that we have found that have to do with our TBS/End User problem.
We have some end user daily volumes that are more than the physical daily volume at their related TBS (which also may have to do with the problem that we have with 16 and 31 day charts not being read) - when that happens we end up overbilling the LDC.
The ones that we are having a problem with are Wisconsin Power and Light and Wisconsin Gas.
If you need any other details on this, please let me know or you can bring them up at our meeting on Monday.

The following summarizes the results of our meeting......If you want to discuss further, please call me.
Break Field Area in 3 Regions / Allocate by point The decision was made to sub-divide the Field Area storage group into two regions; South of Plainview and North of Plainview, rather than 3 regions or allocating by point.
If it is determined that additional divisions are necessary in the future, such changes can be made at that time.
Changes to CAS are required.
I have discussed the changes with Bob Johnson and Doug Aschwege and have learned that the changes are not difficult to make and could be made in a couple days.
Gary Spraggins and I will determine which deferred delivery points are in these new field regions and then provide the information to Bob and Doug.
Question: Should this change be implemented immediately or should it wait until the beginning of the withdrawal season?
Change from 'net zero' approach / Provide minimum level of activity The decision was made to table this concern for now.
The scheduled activity that drives the allocation process does not guarantee physical pipeline operations.
In most cases, the flexibility provided by the Cunningham Field allows Gas Control to adjust operations to maintain the required minimum level of injections/withdrawals into Redfield and Lyons.
Further analysis is required.
Steve Thomas, Larry Swett and I will continue to monitor the system conditions/operations that effect physical storage to determine if and what additional changes maybe warranted.
Send "Notice" when final scheduled number exceeds operational capacity The IT group will modify the scheduling cycle to add a procedure where the final net scheduled storage quantity is compared to the operational capacity set for storage.
If the final scheduled quantity exceeds operational capacity, I will receive a notification via e-mail.
The purpose here is to monitor occurrences to determine the magnitude of the problem.
I will get with Gerry Medeles to finalize the matter.

I just ran several Shipper Scheduled Quanties reports and discovered the fomat had changed.
I monitor several contracts for forecasting purposes and also provide Market Services invoicing information for revenues for negotiated rates and sharing revenues for volumes flowing West for USGT.
I rely upon the Shipper Scheduled Quantities report to get the information I need.
Before the change, I was able to run 1 report for each of these shippers each week, a total of 3 reports.
Because the new report does not give me month-to-date totals I now have to run a report for each shipper for each gas day, a total of 21 reports each week.
It is very time consuming to run and analyze all these reports.
As Marketing does more of these sort of deals the volume will only grow.
It is critical that I get a report that gives me month-to-date totals so I don't have to run a report for each shipper for each day.
Is there some way you could revise the report to again show the month-to-date totals?
Minor comparisons: 1) The 2nd portion of the original report had an area where you could quickly glance at either your receipt or delivery point totals.
In order to get a break out of receipt and delivery points now, you have to run 1 report sorted by receipt point and 1 report by delivery point.
2) This is very minor, but I also liked the fact that the report was on letter size paper.
All my files have been set up to accomodate that size of report.
I now have to set up new files.
I appreciate any help you can give me in this matter.
Thanks!

Including daily tolerance, daily auto-transfer to PNR & daily pricing.
2.
Smaller tolerance range.
Proposed change from +/- 10% to +/- 5%.
| Notes from 637 Imbal Mtg 9/18/01 |
As you are aware, NNG has reached a settlement with the shippers in the SLA proceeding.
Part of the settlement provides that NNG and its shippers will work together in good faith to develop an imbalance resolution which includes a shipper option of in-kind balancing or cash out.
Also, the working group would define the parameters around which NNG could buy or sell gas into or out of the operational storage account.
Mary Kay has asked that Steve Kirk & myself co-chair this committee for NNG and that the two of you also be members of the committee on behalf of NNG.
I assume you are OK with this assignment.
We would like to get together and discuss our general approach to this effort.
Steve and I think our initial meeting could be held in the Video Conference room.
Could you let me know your availability to get together sometime next week for appr 1 -1/12 hours?

Mike, Kent and Tim called me this morning and said that they have received a letter from LS Power requesting compensation for costs they feel they incurred to adjust their supply due to cuts on their FDD overrun.
Their analysis applies to the period June 1, 2001 to present.
Kent and Tim need data to perform an analysis that will be used to respond to LS Power's (USES) request.
Kent has requested the following for the period June 1 forward: A list of days where at least one cycle was not allocated (in other words, if we allocated one or more cycles of a gas day, but not every cycle (regardless of which cycle was not allocated), they need an electronic list of those days.
Electronic copies of each of your final month end sum sheets for June forward.
They want to answer the customer within a week, so they'll need this information at least by early next week.
Kent has requested that all of the information be sent to both him and Tim.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Texas Gas Transmission Corporation Docket No.
RP01-278-002 NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE FILING (October 22, 2001) Take notice that on October 17, 2001, Texas Gas Transmission Corporation (Texas Gas) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No.
1, the following tariff sheets to become effective October 1, 2001: Primary Third Revised Sheet No.
181 Third Revised Sheet No.
182 Third Revised Sheet No.
183 Sheet No.
184 (reserved) Second Revised Sheet No.
185 Alternate Alternate Third Revised Sheet No.
181 Alternate Third Revised Sheet No.
182 Alternate Third Revised Sheet No.
183 Texas Gas states that this filing is being submitted in compliance with the Commission's Order issued on September 19, 2001 in the above-referenced docket.
As directed, the tariff sheets removed the daily high/low index price for cash-out.
In response, Texas Gas proposes to establish a cash-out price based on a weekly high/low index price determined from the weeks within the applicable month, plus the first week of the following month.
The primary and alternate sheets require in-kind make-up of imbalances up to 2% and use the same index price for imbalances above 5%.
However, the primary sheets also propose to eliminate cash-out for all imbalances up to 5% by also requiring a mandatory in-kind make-up level from 2% to 5% and by eliminating any use of the 100% price index for this tier of imbalance.
Texas Gas states that copies of the revised tariff sheets are being mailed to Texas Gas's jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.

The Envision System will be down beginning Friday, October 26th at 5:00pm and will remain unavailable for use until Sunday, October 28th, 2001 at 8:00 am This is being done to comply with the scheduled building power outage performed by TrizecHahn Office Properties.
The Three Allen Center Building, where the Envision equipment is located, has scheduled their annual building electrical shutdown on October 27, 2001.
The shutdown is required to perform preventive maintenance on the main switchgear and any necessary repairs to electrical panels, bus ducts, equipment, etc.
Access to the building will not be allowed during this power outage.

As discussed in our morning meeting the other day, NNG has a few points that have been approved as points that could potentially have daily capacity (capacity available for some time frame less than 30 days) throughout this winter.
The attached file shows the points and the volume level that have been approved as points which may have daily capacity.
As long as the amount of daily capacity that is determined to be available is within the points/volumes listed on this report, Omaha Planning will be able to post the capacity on our daily capacity report for 1 hour then we are able to sell it.
If we exceed the volumes on this file or have capacity at other points, the capacity change will need to be routed for approval.
At this time, we don't have any short term sustainable (capacity available for at least one month but less than 150 consecutive days) to post for this winter.
If anyone is aware of short-term sustainable capacity that needs to be posted, please let me know.
As changes are made to this list, I will forward them on to you.
Beginning November 1, this posting (without the items in blue type) will be on our website.
Finalized posting procedures for NNG will be completed by Michele Winckowski and forwarded to everyone.
Please send this email on to the rest of the people on your teams.
Thanks.

These notes are very high level.
The goals of Brads meeting was to evaluate the need for the development of a systems diagnostic tool and to develop a process for notification of critical business application and hardware failure.
This was a follow up meeting where alternate forms of communicating with customers was discussed.
Critical Business Application: Outlook (Exchange Servers) Mailman.Enron.com Websites / Servers (all the www.hottap.enron.com there are eight in total) EDI Hub EDI Net VPN PGas TMS CMS CRS Set up a process for notification of outages and customer notification: Scott Abshire felt Blackberry would be very beneficial for internal communication due to the ability to send direct messages to one another inside the building.
Develop three methods for communicating (Email, Page and voice mail, Pop Up messaging).
Outage and failure communications to go to the HotTap Help Desk, Shelley, Directors and Team Advisors.
Outage and failure communication messages to be distributed from either the Help Desk or Jean McFarland.
EDI possibly could be rolled into the same communication method.
Scott Abshrie and his group are all ready planned and budgeted a diagnostic tool, the first phase is for hardware and will be functional by yearend 2001.
The second phase will be for applications in in service sometime in 2002.
With this plan in place there is no need to duplicate efforts.

Hey Theresa and Lynn.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed getting to know you two last week and that I hope we can stay in contact.
I typically just meet Regulatory people in my circle so it's good to know people who actually know how their pipeline operates!
Lynn - I think I am finally getting the hang of operating those earrings.
That Tuesday morning when we were leaving San Fran.
the little dangle got cock-eyed and I couldn't get the earring out to fix it.
At some point at the airport I managed to get it out.
Am much better now.
Take care and hope to see both of you soon.

Greetings, Sandra.
I hope life will be treating you better over there soon.
As you might know, most of EnergyUSA was given pink slips effective over the next 3-6 months.
As a result, it is back looking for another job.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to write a letter of recommendation for me?
I'm really regretting this leave from Enron now.
In my quest for looking for something stable, I ended up fucking myself up.
At least I have a few months before our house is finished.
Hopefully, I'll have something by then.
Thanks,
| Greetings |
Hi Sandra, I hope you had a nice Christmas and a fun holiday season.
We as you can imagine with three 5 year old boys, it was hectic but, the look on their faces Christmas morning was priceless.
I wanted to let you know that I am leaving Prebon as of January 15th.
I have spent the last eight years of my 16 years in the Energy field with Prebon and we part on the best of terms.
I am talking with a few banks, a consulting firm and some energy companies, but also plan on spending some time at the house with the family.
I will let you know when and where I decide to go.
Hopefully we can work together again in the future.
Best wishes for continued success in 2002 and the years to come.
Please give my best to Kenny.

To all, I visited with Kam earlier today to revisit the positions in the SE book and we discovered the following: City of Madison transport: transfer to Pete's book for 10/01 and forward MGAF transport: write down 2007-2020 position.
Loss of about $500K - Scott as we spoke, I'll take the blame LRC/Stringray positions: Kam to review and explain Annuity: Origination total of about 90K, net with 500 loss from above Alagasco: Tammi deal, Sonat Tier 2 position Others: As I explained to Kam, any gain from closing this book should be transferred for the account of Jared Kaiser Bank of America ABA 0011.....just kidding!
It comes from sitting by Sandra too long.
Kam - thanks for your help and let me know if you need my help.
As well, please reply if I have not covered all issues.
Regards,
