Dear Rick,
Thanks for the update. I appreciate your input as I do not know what your discussions with Rick Buy have been. To address your points below: 1) I agree that your team should be involved in the planning of each individual review although I am under the impression that Ted & Sally (by proxy Cassandra and I) would set the scope & timing of the reviews while your group would be looped in to the planning for each individual process. If my understanding is incorrect, please let me know. 2) I agree that it would be useful for everyone to attend all meetings. However, due to the limited time we have from arriving at the doorstep to delivery of the report to Ted and Sally, your group really has to be focused on completing the deal test. We don't need three different people obtaining the same information at the same meetings. If there has been a change in your group's role from what I originally understood (we need lower level people from your team who would be able to execute a deal test) , we may have to add additional resources to do the actual deal test to ensure it is done on time (by the time we leave the site). 3) Agreed - I'd like to hear what Donna and Mike Neeves have resolved as far as the database is concerned before we meet again. Best regards Shona To: Shona Wilson/NA/Enron@ENRON cc: Ted Murphy/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT, Cassandra Schultz/NA/Enron@Enron, Lynn Bellinghausen/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENt, Donna Lowry/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: updates to processes Shona: Thank you for your memo. I think it is a good idea to define roles and responsibilities and I appreciate the fact that you have taken the initiative to do so. However, I do have the following comments: 1) I have some accountability to Rick Buy for the success of this effort, therefore I (or my designee) need to be involved in Doorstep pre- planning and post-mortem. I will be involved in reviewing the final report before presentation and will attend the meeting when the report is presented to Buy and Causey. 2) I realize that in the interest of getting a review done timely it is sometimes necessary to "divide and conquer". However, where logistically possible, I believe that it makes sense for my people to be involved in meetings held with Commercial personnel. This facilitates understanding operations, document flow, points of contact, report writing as well as furthering our goal of educating "multi-functional" people so that we can continue to reduce the resources necessary to perform these reviews. 3) There are still some detailed issues that need to be clarified regarding the database. Let's schedule another meeting with Cassandra and Donna. Please let me know if you have any questions, Regards, Rick
