Dan Douglass has drafted joint comments for two coalitions in which Enron is a member -- Alliance for Retail Energy Markets and Western Power Trading Forum.  Robert, feel free to contact Dan directly with your comments.  Let me know your thoughts as well.  I am out of the office at a WPTF meeting. Dan is here as well. If you need to contact me, you can leave me a message on my office phone or try my cell (415 -- 902-4108), but I'm not sure the cell is working all the time.

	"Dan Douglass" <douglass@energyattorney.com> 06/20/2001 10:59 PM 	   To: "ARM" <arem@electric.com>  cc:   Subject: Comments on Draft Decisions Regarding PX Credit and Direct Access	




Attached for your review and comment is my first draft of comments to be  filed on Monday with regard to the draft decisions of ALJ Barnett and  Commissioner Bilas.  Please review it carefully, as I have thrown in  everything I can think of on a rush basis, and it may require some significant  editing.  Pay particular attention to Section V dealing with Bilas' request  for parties to discuss alternatives to DA suspension.  The draft offers a  compromise to the DWR's concerns, as expressed in the Angelides memo.   Also, notice that Section VI urges the Commission to bifurcate the DA and PX  credit issues, acting quickly on the first, if it must, but more leisurely on  the PX credit subject.
 
Finally, I have a suggestion in the form of a question.  How  would AReM members feel about making this a joint filing with WPTF?  There  is cross-membership between the two groups and the same issues would be raised  in the separate filings which I am otherwise prepared to draft.  This draft  would requires some modifications so as to refer to the "Joint Parties" as  opposed to solely mentioning AReM, and I might  add a section dealing more  explicitly with WPTF's contribution to getting the zero minimum bill stipulation  signed in the first place.  Otherwise, the document would stay much as it  is (subject to your input over the next few days, of course).  Please let  me know what you think asap, as I am already working on a WPTF draft.   Incidentally, I will also be filing comments on behalf of ABAG which will  support the positions taken in the attached document, but I am not proposing  that ABAG also be a party to this filing.  Thanks for your help!   Comments as soon as possible would be very much appreciated!
