Re: Message Points for FERC Briefing on GPG's Use of EOL

I'm on board with the low key concept and the bullets look great. Some minor
comments attached. Thanks for spearheading this, Shelley. DF

Subject: Message Points for FERC Briefing on GPG's Use of EOL

I'm currently scheduled to meet with Kevin Madden and other members of OMTR,
including hopefully Mike Coleman, Rob Cupina and Alice Fernandez, next Wed.
May 31 to give them a heads-up on GPG's upcoming use of EOL. I also hope to
meet with several of the Commissioners' assistants. The timing of the
meeting is to ensure that we get to them prior to a press release.

The approach is decidely low key. There is a feeling that if we make a big
deal of this with FERC, then they will ask a lot of questions about why we
aren't filing for permission. Hopefully, if we explain that it doesn't
change any of our current practices, that its just a new computer tool, they
will chalk it up as another ecommerce story.

I hope to talk about the GPG's use of EOL generally and not get deep into the
mechanics of the specific TW auction. The advantage of me doing the FERC
briefing is that I can talk generally and claim that I'm not privy to the
details of each of the pipelines possible EOL products.

Attached is a rough outline of my message points and a few Q&As that I have
thought of thus far. Please send me your feedback (by noon on Tues. May 30)
and any other Q&As that you think I should be prepared for.
