I think that it is a great idea to compare recommendations for promotions.
Our meeting will take place on December 8th, so we can be ready to discuss
promotion recommendations as early as Monday, December 11. When would be a
good time for you?

The invitation to attend our December 8th meeting still stands. I know that
it is along way to come for a single meeting (although it will most likely be
a fully day), but if there are other things that you could accomplish while
here, it could be worth it. --Sally

This is great but you are right in that we probably do not have time to cross
calibrate for the full global population of Risk Ops - perhaps next year.
Also, from discussions with Fernley the higher grades will form part of Rick
Causey's PRC ranking process - so we are left with lower risk post that (
Fernley said he would forward his note to Rick to yourself ).

My remaining concern is that any promotions, particularly in the risk group,
which are not matched across Houston/London or indeed between EGM London and
EEL London may create people risk. Can I suggest we compare promotions from
senior specialist ( up to manager ) upwards ?

Hope everything is going well

I have attached a listing of planned PRC meetings for Operations that will be
held in Houston. There will be a number of pre-review meetings that will be
held over the next two weeks in preparation for an Energy Operations PRC
meeting to be held on Friday, December 8th. The pre-meetings are necessary
due to the sheer size of the groups. (In addition to the meetings detailed
in this schedule, Brent's team in EGM is having pre-meetings as well.)

The December 8th meeting will include all operations personnel from ENA, EGM
and EIM. We will review the results from the pre-review meetings for Senior
Specialists and below. I have asked that the results from the pre-review
meetings mirror the "preferred distribution", which as you probably know
suggests that 15% of the population will not receive a bonus and should
therefore be in the bottom two categories. Assuming that appropriate work
has been done at the pre-review meetings, this review on the 8th should not
be too lengthy. We will take considerably more time as we review the
managers, who will have been pre-ranked as well. This will give us a good
jumping off point for the cross calibration discussions. We will then review
and rank the directors and senior directors. We will also be discussing
suggested promotions during this meeting as well. Finally, assuming that I
still have David Oxley and Wes Colwell captive and attentive, I will discuss
my suggested rankings for the three VP's who report to me. (We will of
course pare down the list of attendees as we move up the ladder on levels
that we are reviewing -- initial make up of the December 8th PRC is me and my
direct reports within ENA, Brent and his direct reports within EGM and Brenda
Herod from EIM.) I have also extended an invitation to Louise Kitchen to
attend the December 8th meeting. I do not know yet if she will attend.

Do you have some suggestions for cross-calibrating on a global basis this
year? I think that next year we can put some plans in place early in the
year to help facilitate this. Would you like to attend the meeting here in
Houston on December 8th? Is there a planned meeting in London that would
make sense for me to attend? Let me know your thoughts.

I have been speaking to Cindy Horn ( works for Scott here in London ) about
checking ratings / promotions across the two groups in London ( EGM and EEL )
which raised concerns that this might duplicate some work done on cross
calibration done by yourself. Can I ask what are the plans?
