< RE: North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation Electricity
Advisory Board - Message from Chair
<
< Dear Colleagues,
<
< I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on a few important planning
and communication matters regarding your participation on the North American
Commission for Environmental Cooperation's (NACEC) Electricity Advisory Board
and to provide you with the date for the upcoming meeting. It will take place
the 16th of January at the Commission's offices in Montreal.
<
< In August, I had the opportunity to visit the NACEC's Montreal headquarters
to discuss a number of the key issues to be addressed by the electricity
restructuring expert report and to get a better feel for the nature of the
guidance and input the Advisory Board can contribute to this initiative.
More than ever, I am convinced that the outstanding group of individuals
serving on the Advisory Board can play an important role in defining and
deepening our understanding of the key trade and environment issues at play
on a continental scale.
<
< The Secretariat has made considerable progress in conducting a thorough
scoping analysis, compiling a searchable database of renewable energy
definitions and portfolio standards and initiating work in the area of market
access and trade disciplines. At this early stage of development of the
expert report, I believe it is an ideal time to schedule our first meeting of
the Advisory Board to familiarize ourselves with major issues and provide
advice on the scope and content of the report, as well as the broader
initiative.
<
< The Secretariat has been in contact with you in advance to select a date
for our first meeting so that the greatest number of Board members can
participate. Accordingly, we will hold a one-day meeting in Montreal on
Tuesday, the 16th of January 2001. The NACEC will cover all travel expenses
along with accommodations and per diem. The Meeting Coordinator at the NACEC,
Leticia Villeneuve, will be in touch to assist you in making your travel
arrangements. If you wish you may contact her at 514-350-4313. Those Board
members that cannot attend will be able to join portions of the meeting by
conference call.
<
< I have included a draft agenda for your review along with the list of
current members of the Advisory Board. The Secretariat will soon establish a
web site and list serve to facilitate our communications, including the
exchange and review of documents. The Secretariat will also prepare, in
advance of our first meeting, a brief but detailed report outline, including
the major themes that are being considered for the report. The Secretariat
is seeking our views on the key issues that warrant special analysis.
<
< I very much look forward to meeting you soon in Montreal. As always, feel
free to contact me if you would like to talk over any aspect of our work
together. Or, if you have any questions regarding the logistics of the
meeting, please contact Alicia Chica at the Secretariat at 514-350-4330, or
by e-mail at achica@ccemtl.org .
