I’ll get my thoughts all together after about seven more cups of coffee.  HAHA.   1. You mention that we have lost a few commissioners since my latest update – I have cross-checked with the NARUC website and the only one of our council members  that is no longer a commissioner is Terry Jarrett.  Are there others on our council that are no longer commissioners – that possibly NARUC hasn’t updated?   2.  Will we have invited a  FERC/FCC  or legislative member that I can add to the list before I send out the “mark your date/agenda” e-mail or at least before I print the “Mark your Calendar” flyer for NARUC?  I remember Roger Hill saying he could invite Wellinghoff again as they were personal friends, but we asked him to hold off.  How about Tony since he was a past council member?   3.  When will we know if Colette is going to FERC?   4. Paul – you asked me to hold off sending ANGA an invoice for sponsorship?  Should I still wait or do I need to invoice them now?   5. Liz, what would be a good time to call you to talk about how to add these commissioners – i.e. could we have certain commissioners on our council invite some of these that we want to add – and who should speak with whom?    Thanks.   jw     From: Stipnieks, Elizabeth [mailto:EStipnieks@eei.org] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2013 7:36 AM To: Paul Roberti Cc: Jeanette Walter Subject: Re: Update   I have reached out to duke and should have an answer soon.    Paul did you get me confirmation for the meeting on October.

Am I to assume that we will not begin contacting speakers until after the November meeting?  I'm a little concerned if we wait until after November we won't  have a program to publicize in early January because we are going to be trying to contact speakers during the holiday season.    Also I'll need to have at least some topics and a few speakers to list for the "Mark Your Calendar" flyer by  November 1 unless you don't think we need the flyer for distribution at the Orlando meeting.

Liz was kind enough to fly to RI yesterday, and I believe we had a very productive strategy session. I wanted to share with you some of the highlights. 1) SAVE THE DATE! Liz and I both thought that you should first immediately get a "SAVE THE DATE" notification out to Council Members and potential participants, as the time is ripe for plugging the event into everyone's calendar. 2) Preliminary Agenda: We discussed in detail the agenda, panels, speakers, etc. Liz is planning to prepare a draft agenda and will circulate it when completed. Our plan is to have something circulate the Council BEFORE the Orlando meeting to spur more productive input from the Council. 3) Additional Council members: Thanks to Liz, we have list of additional potential council members from the industry. Our thinking is if we get more paying members, it takes the pressure off of you. To effectuate our plan, we need synergistic additions of commissioners from various states, as discussed in item 4 below. 4) New Commissioners to the Council: We have lost a few since your last update, and believe that following commissioners (and their respective states) should be added: David Boyd, MN (Chair of Electricity); Robert Kenney, MO (Chair of ERE)' Lisa Edgar, FL (Naruc 2nd V.P. , who could become NARUC President for two years in the event Colette is elevated to the FERC); Josh Epel, CO (Chair of EPA task force); David Littell, ME; Aubrey Zimmerman, NY Chair; Mike Florio, CA; and Bob Stump, AZ. These folks are high-caliber individuals within the NARUC community, and would allow us to pair them with potentially new council members within their jurisdictions. Assuming you agree, this would expand commissioner representation to cover approximately 36 states. 5) Congressional/ federal agency speakers: We will be looking for some prominent, active members of the legislative branch and federal agencies like FERC or FCC.
