The motion passed, and voting is closed.  We heard from all but one
board member (guess who?).

The vote was 8 YES, 3 NO.  The nay votes were from APS Energy Services,
New West Energy, and Constellation Power.  Reliant didn't vote.  The
rest were yea votes.

I will begin drafting the letter, with the guidance provided to me by
George Vaughn of Duke Energy.  I will not await until January 30.  More
likely, I will agendize the item for our January 8 Board meeting in
Walnut Creek.

Have a happy holiday.  I'm still working on the Burrito.  It's rather
long this week.
