Attached in MS Word format is a memorandum and outline addressing potential 
"options and solutions" that will be used by IEP in upcoming regulatory and 
legislative efforts.? The memorandum and outline will be reviewed, discussed, 
dissected and vastly improved at the November 3 IEP meeting.? This represents 
a collection of various ideas brought forward to date and must be considered 
a "work in progress."? It has not been comprehensively reworked in light of 
the November 1 FERC Order. 

The outline begins with a discussion of the &jurisdictional context8 that 
must be kept in mind when developing IEP,s response, including the 
regional/interstate nature of the Western markets and the respective roles of 
FERC and the CPUC.? The second section is the largest part of the outline, 
and it discusses in detail the &problems8 IEP,s response addresses, primarily 
in terms of &marketplace fundamentals8 as well as market structure issues.? 
IEP,s membership is extremely well versed in the myriad of problems facing 
the industry, but nevertheless it is vitally important to discuss and agree 
on specifics so that our options and solutions can be presented as a durable, 
comprehensive and cohesive message.? The outline's fourth section discusses 
certain characteristics or perspectives that must be considered when crafting 
our response, such as the relationship between retail and wholesale markets 
as well as the larger regional markets.? Potential short- and long-term 
responses are presented in the next two sections, and the outline concludes 
with potential IEP &retail/demand8 proposal.
