This is a very important working meeting of the Blackout Busters, where we 
will be voting on some proposals. We will not be able to reopen any of these 
issues in the full committee. Therefore if you have any input to the these 
documents, please participate. 

The OBMC program is very critical to many of us who want a way out of rolling 
blackouts this summer? by committing to curtailing demand when requested. 

Many of us discussed? the PG&E,s proposal to CPUC for this program last week, 
and determined that it is simply unworkable in its current proposed form. 
SVMG must propose specific modifications to make it workable for us. 

The Administrative Law Judge was very cooperative. He was planning to issue 
the ruling on Friday, March 9, but agreed to wait for out input. He advised 
that even though the comment period is over, he would entertain our comments 
if we filed petition to file late comments and followed some legal 
procedures. 

Based on input received from other members, I prepared a working document. 
John Wilson from CEC volunteered and converted the working document into a 
draft petition. Paul Stephens hand delivered the draft petition to the Judge 
on Wednesday. Please note that the draft petition included here is different 
than what Paul handed over to the Judge. The two references to the 
Transmission level customers were removed at the last minute without much 
discussions. However, technically, the petition can not be accepted since it 
was not filed with proper legal process. Justin is working to get the legal 
support. Meanwhile, we have time this afternoon to review the petition at the 
Blackout Busters meeting and make changes, if needed. 

In the tradition of SVMG, I outlined our criteria for making any specific 
suggestion in the working document. Please review it and bring your comments 
to the meeting.

 Mukesh & Nayeem, Because nearly 90% of the people who participate in the 
 Blackout Busters meeting also attend the Energy Committee Meeting, we were 
 hoping that the Blackout Busters meeting be adjourned around 2:30 allowing 
 time for participants to travel to Exodus for the Energy Meeting.? Thanks 
 for your help in making the schedule work.? Laura
