Update on GENIE

Hello -

I have included an update on GENIE but I am starting with a list of action
items needed by you and mentioned in more detail below:
Changes or approval on the letter to the Office of the Chairman of EWS, EES
and ETS from Steve.
Steve, please brief Ken so we can get both events on his schedule. He still
has other commitments that need to be moved.
Changes or approval on the panelist/invitees list ASAP.

Mailing and Acceptances
The mailings to the steering committee and commentators went out last Wed.
and Thurs. We are rapidly receiving emails and phone responses. I will send
a weekly update of the results. Within the next week, I may request that top
Enron officials make a personal invitation to key attendees that are
unresponsive.

October event Attendees/Panelists
Please look over the excel spreadsheet of proposed attendees ASAP (in your
binder from our last meeting). We must start getting the invitations out
soon. Feel free to add names you do not see on the list. We will be taking
the same approach with the business units once they are notified of this
event.

Memos
Rick will be sending out a memo about GENIE to his direct reports today. I
will be briefing them in more detail on his call on Thursday, making sure
that they are aware of those we asking to participate as part of the Steering
Committee and commentators. They will also be given the opportunity to
suggest general attendees.

I have attached a memo that Steve can send to the Office of the Chair of EWS,
EES and ETS.

Binders
I created a briefing binder for both Sherrie and Joannie in Jeff's office and
will be doing so for Ken once he is aware of the initiative. Once the BU's
units are on board, I can do the same for the Office of the Chairman in those
groups. I will keep them all updated on a weekly basis.

Let me know any thoughts, comments or questions. Thanks, MSA
