The newsletter below from the DPCA provides a good summary of the current 
status of the organization.  You may be aware that the DPCA ran into some 
financial difficulty last year by expending money in the California DG 
proceeding without the authorization of the membership.  The Executive 
Director resigned from the group and the new President (Larry Downs of NJ 
Natural) also resigned (although this was not related to the money issue - 
I'm not sure why he resigned but I am trying to find out).  As you know Enron 
has been a member of this organization.  Our dues are currently $5,000/yr.  
The dues structure is one area under review by the Board of Directors to 
provide additional income to the organization.  The Board's goal is to have 
an annual income of $750,000 from dues.  This could potential increase our 
dues substantially if a large number of new members do not join (preliminary 
estimates would be in the $20,000  to $30,000/yr!!!).  Obviously we would not 
join this group at that level of dues.  I would suggest that we stay a member 
at the $5,000/year level (they have done some good such as developing an 
interconnection standard that we are currently reviewing to possibly use as a 
model for us as we go forward in different regions).  I would like to know 
your thoughts on this.  Thanks.
