Mark - Does this have any budget implications? We have an automatic
allocation to EBS in the 2001 budget which I'll assume remains the same unless you tell me otherwise. Mark Schroeder@ECT 01/05/01 06:42 AM To: Lilian Low/SIN/ECT@ECT, Michelle Hargrave/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron, Kristina Mordaunt/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Elizabeth Linnell/NA/Enron@Enron, Jim Fallon/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Roger Estrada/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Anthony Duenner/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Jan Haizmann/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Termination of David Merrill David responded to my e-mail today, asking him to call me on Monday. He suspected bad news. I told him he was terminated. He is expecting to meet Lilian on Monday, with her providing the paperwork. I have told him, per my conversation with Lilian, that he should direct questions regarding COBRA, etc., to Michelle in Houston, as Lilian eschewed familiarity with some of these nuances of US employment law. We had a 30 minute conversation, he had lots of question, I have taken copious notes in the event of any subsequent legal issue arising (I do not expect any based on my conversation). He was quite surprised/shocked. He asked about work in train. I asked him to do a list on Monday of projects in motion, with a list of contacts, e.g., law firms/consultants, which he will do (Lilian - not sure what usual practice is, but David wants to leave on a positive note, so he wants to leave his work in progress in good shape; therefore, please accommodate him so that he may at least complete these tasks on Monday, i.e., do not show him the door at 10 a.m., thanks). I said I would have to get out there to pick it up, without mentioning that Kristina and I have discussed plans to meet in Singapore very soon to resolve staffing/resourcing to support EBS Asia. Please let me know if you need more or have any questions. Lilian - please arrange for the Singapore switchboard, as of Tuesday a.m., to indicate that David is no longer at Enron, and to redirect any business calls to David, to Jan Haizmann or to me, as we will cover the regulatory requirements until a replacement is found. Jan's number is 44-207-783-4474, you have my number. The time zone difference is unfortunate, but this will have to suffice for now, and in this way Jan and I can attempt to get our hands around any issues hanging out there with regulators or consultants. thanks mcs
