Wes and team had preset the meeting schedule and topics to be covered in ea=
ch. The outline that I sent you with the changes for the remainder of this= week is simply our best attempt at fitting coordinating topics around peop= le availability and the meeting schedule that had already been set. The sc= hedule that we have been working with that Wes provided did not allocate tw= o hours for the Friday meeting. If you had set aside two hours, that had n= ot been communicated to us. There were only two one-hour meeting slots on = that schedule. One for ENW from 1-2 and one for Research from 3-4. I have= a major conflict on Friday - I committed months ago to attend a meeting th= at Ken Lay asked to be involved in that is in the Woodlands that runs throu= gh the evening hours.. Only because Beth Perlman is out on Thursday for a = religious holiday, I decided to "skip out" from this meeting to be here on = Friday afternoon to discuss the Operations and IT Development budgets toget= her. In order to minimize my time away from the Woodlands meeting, I orche= strated the time swap with Vince Kaminiski so that we could have our ENW me= eting at 3:00. I will talk with you later today and fill you in on the com= mitment for Ken Lay. Maybe we can work together for a scheduling solution = that works for both of us. I would appreciate your help on that, Louise.= =20 Scheduling issues aside, Wes suggested that we also review with you the EES= budget that ENW has prepared. Our approach so far has been to determine t= he appropriate and necessary spend for 2002 for expense and capital for all= of the services that ENW provides to support the EES business. We have do= ne this without regard to who will cover which expenses - EES or EA. That = is a separate issue from understanding the services that need to be provide= d and our best estimate at costs. We are prepared, however, with a suggest= ed split on the costs for discussion purposes. I have assumed that the dec= ision on cost sharing or allocation would be made between the offices of th= e chair for EES and ENW. If you would like to cover all of ENW's budgets t= ogether, both for EES and EA, then it would make more sense to set a longer= block of time (maybe 3 hours?). I will bring my schedule to our meeting a= t 11:00 today to cover the Canadian budget and we can work out a schedule t= hat works for both of us. =20 We will be prepared to discuss pricing per transaction, but will hold that = until the end of our meetings when we have been able to review with you the= components of costs and the detail of capital projects. Our review of cos= ts and projects in effect will serve as our "scope of engagement" discussio= n. A service provider would never quote a firm price until agreement had b= een reached on the scope of the engagement. We will have a straw man for d= iscussion on that. --Sally=20 -----Original Message----- From: =09Kitchen, Louise =20 Sent:=09Wednesday, September 26, 2001 8:23 AM To:=09Beck, Sally Cc:=09Piper, Greg; Pickering, Mark; Colwell, Wes; Killen, Faith; Roper, Ker= ry; Schoppe, Tammie; Valdez, Christina Subject:=09RE: Regrouping of ENW Budget Discussions=20 I am expecting an all in cost for this service - what do we achieve in sepa= ration. I had allocated two hours on Friday to do this from 1pm until 3pm.= Are you not intending an all in cost (per transaction) of IT and Operati= ons? If you believe that the outline below works then go ahead, do we just= have the total number debate on Fridy - if so let's start at 2pm.

To insure that we have the appropriate attendees in our ENW 2002 p= lan meetings and to schedule these meetings around Thursday as a religious = holiday, I have worked with Wes Colwell and made a trade with Vince Kaminsk= i to make all of this happen. There is no change to your calendar in terms= of date, time or location of meetings.
