Thanks Mike.? We shall make the additions you noted below.? SoCalGas (Eric
Nelson) will be providing testimony on retail unbundling for the utilities. I agree with you that the mass- market retail parties should also include complementary testimony.? Although we discussed this earlier, I did not receive any firm commitments from the retail folks that they would sponsor such testimony - it may be an oversight on my part.? Nonetheless, retail testimony by those in the market should include a discussion of the benefits from Greenmountain.com, Utility.com, CUB, REMAC and the others.? Might I suggest that Enron, as a large mass-marketer itself, coordinate this effort with the other retail partners ? In addition, I want all settlement parties to look beyond testimony to the hearings, which are scheduled to begin in little more than a month.? We will need to make some time available during late May for practice panels (assuming we are granted panel hearings) and individual practice cross-examination.? At the same time, we also need to start thinking about direct cross-examination of the SCGC/TURN parties (again, assuming we decide to engage in full cross-examination of their settlement).? There is merit to cross-examination of the opposing settlement since it is not very well thought out, results in substantial cost-shifts, and is not consistent with the Commission's most promising options.? On the other hand, there is merit to limiting our cross, especially of Florio, who will use the witness box to grandstand.? It's something to think about. -----Original Message----- From: MBD [mailto:MDay@GMSSR.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 11:56 AM To: 'Cherry, Brian - TPBKC'; 'Leslie, John'; 'Elsesser, Evie'; 'McCrea, Keith'; 'Pocta, R.

Thanks for your memo.? Let me add the following comments.? There should be a chapter on the retail settlement with the key parties listed.? Tom Beach and Vernon should be added to the chapter on impact on electric generators.? The Core Interstate Unbundling section where you list TXU and Shell was, I believe, originally supposed to include program benefits for the core aggregators as well, and you should add Enron to the list for that Chapter. Let me know if you concur with my recollection.?

While she may offer additional guidance at the PHC on April 24, we need to start the process of formalizing the testimony supporting the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement.? ? We have already identified the content and parties responsible for drafting the testimony (as identified below).? The testimony will be based on a "hub and spoke" approach, where SoCalGas will focus on the mechanics of unbundling, describing in detail how the capacity and retail unbundling process will work, with other parties filing testimony that complements SoCalGas' testimony while offering the parties individual perspective on why the settlement is in the public interest and benefits customers, the state of California, mom and apple pie - you get the picture.? In addition, I would like to suggest the following deadlines for getting testimony prepared and circulated so that all of the signatories to the settlement agreement have an opportunity to review and comment appropriately on the drafts.? I suggest we adhere to the following schedule: ? April 25? Draft Outlines of Testimony? (Optional) April 28? 1st Draft Testimony May 2??? 2nd Draft Testimony May 5??? File Testimony w/Commission?????? ? I think that it is essential that we circulate the draft testimony twice so that everyone knows what will be filed on the May 5.? The schedule is compressed, but we have to operate within the time parameters we've been given.?? The testimony assignments are identified below.? There has been one change from what we had agreed to previously.? SoCalGas will sponsor a witness on the "Concepts of Unbundling".? I would also like to suggest that we file the testimony a one comprehensive document.?? I have suggested a chapter-style format that might work, but I am open to suggestion.? Let me know what you think. ? ? Chapter 1??? SoCalGas??????????????????????? Concepts of Unbundling Chapter 2??? SoCalGas???????????????????????
