One the chance you are retrieving messages I wanted to update you on my conversations with some PX committee members about the arbitration issue.  At the moment, in addition to APX and Power Exchange, Avista and perhaps Marant seem to support the idea.  I do not know the positions of Reliant, Sempra and Salton Sea.  Both Avista and Marant feel that something needs to be done because (1) Edison seems to be blowing us off and (2) the legislature does not seem to be coming up with a solution that helps the power generators.  There thought is that it wouldn't really hurt and probably will help to put some pressure on.  Avista likes the idea of addressing the issue through a committee and its counsel.  They think that there is strength in numbers and like the ability to share the cost of one counsel.  They seem reasonably satisfied with the job Kaye, Scholer is doing.  However, Avista doesn't think that this major a step should be taken on a 5 to 4 vote of the committee if that's where things are.  Are you prepared to argue the reasons for deferring action against Edison?
