since I will be out tomorrow for our meeting, I thought I would send this on

Just a couple of things, since we will not be able to meet this week.

The auditors have started review no. 2 of the management report. I imagine
it will take them at least a couple of weeks per Louise's request, the
auditors are re-reviewing the management report to ensure that all the
changes were made and the report is now accurate
I think you are aware of all the new products Dale is working on (!!!) we
have several things in the works right now, the primary ones being a park and
loan agreement that will be managed out of Chicago, and reliable power
Lots and lots of ad hoc reporting (see my earlier e-mail regarding timing of
these reports - we need a decision quickly - this is taking up most of Matt's
time, and with the additional reports requested, it will take up the rest of
it) I have been sending you the weekly reports we are doing to John and
Jeff. Louise asked that we provide similar reports for Europe. We are
starting this week on these
We really need to push the profiles manager application - we are getting
swamped with all the new customers and products (Frank was to talk to Mark D.
on Friday - I should have an update from him today) this new application
will save a ton of manual work - this is something we started as soon as I
took over the group, and also was one of the auditors comments. Currently,
we are manually entering profiles directly into EOL. This application we
requested will allow each of the depts (Credit, Global and Legal) to enter
their own profiles into EOL, and we will just become the reviewer of the data
via daily reporting. The application has been tested, but due to the fact
that the IT group is so busy, we have been placed on the back-burner. I am
going to turn up the heat on this b/c we are getting overloaded.
New reporting application - we are in the process of testing now. It will
probably be at least a month before it is completed. This is our new Oracle
application that will replace the Access report Euginio built
Torrey will be attending the 8am meeting for me in the morning and will send
me notes this is the weekly marketing/phase 2 meeting
I am currently reviewing the latest version of the price posting agreement to
determine what our roles will be once we are posting prices on the other
platforms (looks like most of it will fall in Dale's world) You probably saw
the announcement that we are going to post prices on other websites
(HoustonStreet and True Quote) that was made on Thursday last week.
Basically, we have 90 days to make this happen. IT will build the link to
these other sites, and we will need to ensure that price are reflected
properly and that product long and short descriptions are accurate. I have
read about 25% of the agreement thus far and am developing a list of
questions and concerns surrounding this.
We still are not including the proper weather valuation in the management
report - the numbers are not going to be significant, but we need to report
this appropriately asap. Any decision here? We have been working with the
weather risk groups to determine how to appropriately value the weather
transactions. About a month ago, we reached an agreement with them and have
been waiting on Dave's approval to change the valuation ever since.
Keith has made some suggestions on how we can improve the Remedy application
- I am reviewing while I am here This is the application that the call
center uses to track issues
I will send you the suggestions Stephanie has for improving the new security
application - she will document these for me today A new SRRS system is in
place via the Intranet.

stuff for you -
Carrie S. will begin her 6 month assignment now. She will be in Australia
for 3 weeks to assist Justin (the PCG person in the Pacific), then to London
for a month to work with Amita, and the duration will be spent working with
the London EOL Marketing team
Justin just completed 3 weeks of training on EOL and EOL applications. I
think he will do an excellent job - I was very impressed with his questions
and how quickly he picked things up.


Just send me any questions you have -

Thanks
Sheri
