Hello Shmuel,
Thanks for your message. The end of 2000 and the beginning of 2001 were
extremely busy
and I could not focus on PSERC issues. I shall consult a few people in Enron
on this subject and get in
touch with you. Our concern right now is that the results of research are
widely shared with
our competition.
I am out on the 19th, but the 20th would work for me. I would be glad to
cover the cost of your Austin
to Houston trip.
Regarding your son. The Analyst / Associate program will interview again on
the campus
in the spring and they will be more than happy to interview him.

Subject: Fw: PSERC nuggets related to market Stem
Hello Vince
Happy Holidays.
I wanted to connect with you regarding the possibility of Enron Joining
PSERC. As you might have heard from Lance and Alex we are going through a
transition period having doubled the number of universities and industry
members within the last year. Consequently, our business processes are not
well developed. One of the problems we are facing is the balance between the
electrical engineering folks and industry members that are more interested
in market related research. I hope to recruit more of the later so tat we
have more of a constituency in the Advisory Board that sees the value of
market related research. I already have a verbal commitment from people at
Electrabell that expressed interest in joining PSERC. With members like
Electrabell and Enron we will be able to support more market Stem projects
such as the one that Shijie Deng proposed (not funded in this round). Please
let me know if I can do anything to facilitate the decision at Enron. I am
going to be in Austin on January 19 to participate at a PUCT hearing and
could come through Huston for a visit. Attached are some items that I shared
with our PSERC members and thought that you might be interested in them as
well.
Regards, Shmuel.

as Anjam and Steve). I would like to review what's going on in Houston and
London.
2. We can arrange the interviews for all the candidates you lined up Monday
afternoon
(Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the alternative dates). We treat the
interviews as internal
to the Research Group and we shall arrange full interview schedules at a
later day for those candidates
who pass our internal test.
3. Please, feel free to put on my agenda other meetings you think might be
useful.
Please, coordinate the meetings with Anjam and Steve. I am busy on Tuesday

SPOT WEATHER ANOMOLIES QUICKLY
Using Syncrasy's proprietary visualization tools, a user can quickly compare
the output of up to 4 weather forecasting models for a specific time period.
Syncrasy's visualization tool projects each model over an identical national
grid, and a zoom feature allows synchronized zooming into any particular
region of the continental US. For an example, view the Multi-Panel Graphicv
on our website.
?
[IMAGE]
QUANTIFY YOUR WEATHER RISK
[IMAGE]
Syncrasy provides individual forecasts for over 1,600 weather stations in the
continental US. For any one of these stations, you can compare all 14 weather
forecasts side-by-side either to gain statistical confidence in a particular
outcome or to quantify the weather risk of a specific forecast. If you rely
on weather forecasts, you should be aware of the extent to which all 14
forecasts agree (or disagree) with each other. For an example, visit
Syncrasy's Forecast Analysis and Confidence Trading System (FACTS)v on our
website.
WHICH WEATHER FORECAST IS MORE ACCURATE?
Discover which weather forecast has been historically the most accurate for a
particular city over any selected time period (such as last week, month,
season, etc.). Refine your analysis with data filters. For example, use a
filter to determine which of the weather forecasting models is most accurate
when actual temperatures are greater than 90 degrees, or when temperatures
change more than 10 degrees within an hour. For an example, see Syncrasy's
Weather Accuracy & Vendor Evaluation System (WAVES)v on our website.
CONDUCT DETAILED, PRECISE ANALYSES USING "DIFFERENCE GRAPHICS"
"Difference Graphics" refers to the spatially calculated difference for a
single output. Difference Graphics allows a user to analyze discrepancies
between any 2 weather forecasting models for any time period. For example,
using Difference Graphics, a user can view the difference in surface
temperature between "Weather Vendor A" and "Weather Vendor B" across the US
for tomorrow at 2pm. A user could also view how "Weather Vendor A" has
changed since the prior forecast. For an example visit Syncrasy's
Difference Graphics.
?
[IMAGE]
?
ENHANCE YOUR WEATHER COMPARISONS TO INCLUDE TRAILING AVERAGES
The meteorological community frequently relies on one dataset for comparative
purposes: the "30 year average." This "30 year average," however, may not be
an ideal comparison as it is defined as the 30 year average over the period
from 1961 to 1990. Syncrasy broadens the user's information by including
options allowing users to compare any weather forecast to the trailing 30,
15, 10, or 5 year averages.
A REAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION FIRST!
[IMAGE]
?
Syncrasy's"Mach-5" technique expeditiously reports information to users in
advance of typical weather data feeds which may experience bottlenecks during
peak traffic (or rely on slower satellite communication). To prove Syncrasy's
superior reporting speed, our system allows users to test our reporting speed
for themselves by comparing our time stamps to that of their best alternative
weather data source. Syncrasy records the time at which each weather forecast
is available on Syncrasy's system (timestamp in dark green) as well as the
anticipated time the weather forecast should update (timestamp in black).
Users will find our data reports FIRST offering them a valuable competitive
advantage! For an example, visit Syncrasy's Model Status.
Syncrasy,s Weather Analysis Tool (SWATv
SWATv collects timely and comprehensive meteorologically diverse weather
forecasts from multiple forecasting groups, such as National Weather
Service, universities, armed services, NASA and other research oriented
institutions. The data is integrated into a single analysis platform. This
platform includes a number of tools which may be useful to a trader and/or
meteorologist. For example, SWATv assists users in the following tasks:
identifying and quantifying weather risk for some future time period;
tracking the historical performance of different weather forecasting
methodologies; and, creating a proprietary forecast.
SWATvcurrently collects 14 forecasts covering next hour through 16 days in
the future. This data (and risk analysis) is available on the SWATvbefore
most companies (especially those companies that depend on traditional
satellite links). All these weather forecasts can be viewed graphically (as
a national view or hemispheric view, were applicable) or viewed in a tabular
format.

Welcome back to another exciting issue of Network World,s White Paper
Download! Our continuing mission is to provide you with the latest
technology and product information, right from the vendors themselves,
as well as a quick summary and link to the white paper itself.
This week we look at memory definitions, intelligent networks, Windows
2000 certification and Web hosting solutions for e-business. Enjoy!
Crucial Technology
Memory: The Next Generation
Rambus (RDRAM) and DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM are two new types of
memory promising to make your computer run faster. They are also the
subject of much debate as industry experts analyze the performance,
cost, and availability of both technologies.
Learn more about the differences between Rambus (RDRAM) and Double Data
Rate (DDR) SDRAM from Crucial Technology. This white paper looks at
how the memory types differ structurally and at performance analysis.

Microsoft
The Business Value of Certified Applications
For a technology to have maximum value, it must deliver core benefits
to IT and to the organization. Simply put, these core benefits must
make life better and the job easier for IT while lowering the
technology's total cost of ownership (TCO) for the company.
The process of Windows 2000 Certification can help meet both of these
demands. This paper looks at the value and procedures involved of
Windows 2000 certification. It explains the process of certification
and also presents case studies of seven different companies who are
seeking or have received Windows 2000 certification.

Subject: Recommedations
Hello Vince,
How are you?
Not much around except that I am seriously studying for Gmat. I am going to
take this test between June 12 to 15 and during the week following it I hope
to be ready to take TOEFL.
So far I am most concerned about writing and reading parts that require of
knowledge and using good vocabulary and for me is a time consuming because I
feel lost for words very often.
Ok, I be positive ...
I am writing to ask you for your support - recommendations.
I thought it might be more respected when I show recommendations "from here"
than from some people from different country.
Would you like to do it?
I am not quite sure what type of rec would you be able to provide me with.
I think it could be somehow based on our Aiesec relationship?
Do you have any other ideas?
I would like to bring this letter to the university next week along with my
request of application transfer from MBA dep to MS.
As for today I have enough recommendations - in numbers - but may be some
more recent one would add more value into it.
Do you need more details on: to whom it may concern or any others?
Please let me know if you can help?
Best regards
Patrycja

Today's Focus: Adobe Acrobat PDF vulnerability
---------------------------------------------------------------
By Jason Meserve
Problem with Adobe Acrobat PDF format
Panda Software reported last week that Adobe has issued a patch for
its Acrobat software that is used to read PDF document files. Used to
transmit high-quality reproductions of documents across the Internet,
the format was thought to be secure. But with all things Internet,
there must be a hole. It turns out code can be embedded in a PDF file,
which could be used to deliver a virus, Trojan or other nasty tidbit.
Adobe recommends users install the following patch for protection:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/4.x/ac405up2.exe
**********
Microsoft releases patch for "Malformed IPX Ping Packet" vulnerability
This patch for Windows 95, 98 and 98 Second Edition, fixes a problem
that could allow an external user to flood a machine using the IPX Ping
command. If a network has a number of machines affected with the
problem, the exploit could be used to flood the network with excess
data packets. For more information and patches:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/fq00-054.asp
**********
Debian fixes mailman problem
Debian announced that it has fixed a problem in the mailman Version 2.0
application. The flaw could be used by a local user to gain group
mailman permissions. For source downloads:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/source/mail/mailman_2.0beta5-1.di
ff.gz
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/source/mail/mailman_2.0beta5-1.ds
c
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/source/mail/mailman_2.0beta5.orig
.tar.gz
**********
Red Hat fixes mailman problem
Like Debian and others, Red Hat has fixed its version of the mailman
list server software for Linux. For source downloads:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/secureweb/3.2/SRPMS/mailman-2.0beta5-1.src.rpm
**********
SuSE in process of fixing multiple vulnerabilities
SuSE put out a general alert saying it is working on fixes for a number
of problems in its Linux implementation and third-party applications.
The problems being fixed deal with Netscape, knfsd, system user account
nobody, pam, gpm, openldap, mailman, cvsweb.cgi and knon2. Look for
more here when the actual patches become available. For more on SuSE:
http://www.suse.com/
**********
Today's virus alerts:
Kak.Worm.B -- Kak.B is a direct descendant of the original Kak virus,
the only difference being the name of the Trojan file that infects the
computer. This virus exploits a hole in Microsoft Outlook. (Panda
Software)
Backdoor/Doly.17 -- This Trojan installs a "server" on the target
machine, while the perpatrator used a client to execute damaging
attacks on the infected computer. (Panda Software)
Beah -- A boot-sector virus that disables virus detection of most
system BIOS by making changes to the CMOS. (Panda Software)

Ted,
Thanks for kind words.
I have a favor to ask. Jason Sokolov who works with us part-time (he is a Rice
MBA candidate) has been accepted as a summer intern. I suggested that he ask
for
a position with your group for this summer. He works currently with Mike
Roberts,

Jason is a very bright and hard working person and I can recommend him
without reservations.

Subject: Moody's Upgrade
To the great and powerful Research Group:
As you may know, Moody's has recently upgraded Enron from Baa2 to Baa1.
We had been on watch for an upgrade for a while and after their intitial
credit meeting, they still had questions primarily related to our control of
market and credit risk. To that end, Jeff McMahon and Tim Despain had Rick
Buy, Bill Bradford and I meet with eight members of the Moody's team. The
questions centered around policy and procedure in the Wholesale businesses.
We discussed VAR, stress testing and potential credit exposure. To make a
long story short, subsequent to that meeting, they reconvened their committee
and announced the upgrade.
I want you to know how critical your contribution was to the discussion and
will continue to be as the bar gets raised. I am sure that next year they
will continue to be concerned with our risk management capabilities as well
as extensions of our current platform - tail risk, intra day risk,
operational risk, and enterprise wide risk.
Thank you for your efforts in supporting RAC - it has tangible benefits.
Ted
p.s. - there is still lots of interesting opportunities to extend the paradigm

Subject: A applicable model
Kim,
After yestersday's meeting, I've come up with an idea which is applicable to
the zone EF and
seems also to be applicable to the broader area. The model assumes that if
there are positive spreads of energy
products between pairs of locations, we can always find the possibilities of
swaptions. This assumption, as
discussed with Jim and Sean, is a reasonable approximation. I suggest that
the prototype be built up at this
model if you think that it is rational. If you interested in the model, I
will explain it to all of you.
Best regards,
Youyi

Chonawee,
This was perfectly all right. As a matter of fact I expect and encourage
the members of the group to disagree with me (or anybody else)
on any subject. I am never offended by it and take it as a manifestation
of ability to think independently and having the courage of one' s
convictions.
Nobody has the monopoly on truth and nobody knows everything. The only
way we can learn and avoid costly errors (to ourselves and the
company) is by having open communication. In Enron,
facts are friendly.
By the way, it was an excellent presentation.

Subject: Sorry.
Hi Vince, I am sorry for correcting on the revenue of the different auctions.
Vickrey 1961 showed that all 4 kinds of auctions would yield the same
expected revenue to the auctioneer. (Dutch, English, first price-sealed bid,
and second-price sealed bid.) In fact, the selling price is equal to the
valuation of the second highest bidder. For example, in Vickrey auction,
everyone bids at his own valuation. Hence, the winner pays the valuation of
the second highest bidder. In English auction, the second highest valuation
bidder will stop competing if the price is above his valuation. Hence, the
winner also gets the item at the price of the second highest valuation bidder.
Thank you for attending the meeting and giving many helpful contributions.

Subject: summer internship
Hi Vince,
I am writing you at this time to inquire as to the potential of renewing my
internship at Enron for the Summer of 2000.
While the date of my request is later than I would have wished, the reason
is that I had originally planned to go back to Turkey this summer and get
my mandatory military duty done. However, I now realize I can put it off to
a further date. That left me wondering if you believe there is a project
that I can get involved in this summer and be useful. If that were the
case, I would be more than happy to postpone my military duty and spend the
summer with the research group. I discussed this with Dr. Ronn, and he is
very supportive of this idea.
I apologize again for bringing up this issue late, and look forward to
hearing from you.

Not at all. I left to make a quick call and it required a number
of follow-up calls.
The presentation was very interesting and professional.
One of the guidelines we have in my group is to avoid using too many software

Otherwise, everybody will have his own pet package and we shall lose
economies of scale.

Subject: Meeting with you last week ?
Hello Vince,
I'm writing to follow up with you regarding our meeting last week. Did we
do something wrong in our presentation or in the set up of this presentation?
For a group of 50 researchers we were expecting a larger crowd and also
some peole perhaps from your IT department. Also when you left I was
wondering if we had offended you.
The ability to use our products to create open models, integrate databases,
C, VB, etc. and then quickly deploy them to others has been embraced by
the risk management world. We met the following day with a large group
from EES and they seemed quite enthusiastic about the innovation possible
with our tools.
I realize you are quite busy, but could you please let me know what

John,
I talked to Dale Nesbitt. He suggested that the best way to evaluate his
model is to
go through a one week intensive project with assistance of somebody from his
company.
Our cost is a flat fee of $12,500 that would be deducted from the purchase
price of $55,000,
in case we buy the software package.
The price of 55K is indicative and will be adjusted based on the required
level of support.
Dale will be in Houston next week. I have tentatively invited him to visit
with us on Tuesday,
November 7, at 3:00 p.m. He will adjust if you are busy at this time.
Please, let me know what you think.

How are you? I apologize for not contacting you earlier. We bought a small
house and it is consuming all of our time. We also adopted a little puppy
which proved to be a lots of work. Believe it or not, I have not had the
chance to visit NY city yet (I was there once briefly to drive to the

I just received the check for the airline ticket. Thank you for taking care

They wanted us to sponsor it (at the cost of 19,000 pounds) but the reaction
from our power desks

They are offering us an opportunity to advertise in this publocatio.
I am attaching the message with the terms.

Subject: Visual Numerics CNL Licensing Issues
Vince,
Tanya and I feel that there is a need for a constrained optimization routine
for our VAR related research. Numerical recipes does not contain
subroutines where equality and inequality contraints can be easily
incorporated. Also, the number of arguments that can be handled is also
limited.
IMSL provides a comprehensive library of more than 300 C/C++ statistical and
mathematical analysis functions. We think that it would be of great value to
our efforts and to the efforts of our research group. Presently the cost is
aproximately around $1500 and Mike Bothwell (Visual Numerics Rep) assures us
as the version is not license protected, we all can use it as long as
simultaneous usage is within the license.
Please let me know if you should need further information.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Rakesh,
As we discussed, the CNL 4.0 PC libraries are not license managed. Version
5 will be. The PC Version 4.0 can be installed on a network drive and
called from networked PCs. As expected, we would ask that Enron honor the
license agreement by allowing only the number of simultaneous uses permitted
by the license. Version 5.0 will be license managed and can be licensed as
node locked or floating.
With regard to Unix licensing, the current version of CNL for Unix is
license managed. It can be licensed as node locked or floating. If you
install the libraries on a Unix server as node locked, the number of
simultaneous sessions on that server is not limited except by the
capabilities of the machine. A floating Unix license would be checked out
by the individual user to be executed on a local machine.
Also as mentioned, your investment is protected by allowing you to upgrade
in the future by paying only the price difference between your current and
desired platforms. This upgrade option only applies to licenses covered
under support.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know. I look forward to
providing you the best math and statistical libraries available today to
help you solve your problems and understand your data.

Layla,
A few points.
I shall be glad to attend the reception.
I am falling behind in getting my presentation ready. Sorry for the delay.
I can commit to delivering the required number of copies on the day of my
presentation
(or a day before). I have done it on two occasions before (Power 2000 and
Power 1999):
the copies were produced by our company Copy Center at no cost to you.
My associate, Tanya Tamarchenko, is helping me with one aspect of the
presentation and
I would like her to deliver part of my speach. It's only fair to give her the
credit when the
credit is due. Is it OK to include her as an additional speaker?

If you still haven't informed me of your AV requirements, please do so as

I would like to point out that I will not be taking any presentations on

Subject: Re: [Fwd: New Commodity Marketplace Opportunity]
Mark Lay: Again, thank you for listening to my concept. In my search for
co-foounder/collaborators and
angel investors, disclosing the concept (for lack of a better title now, I
call the system "LifeTrak")
and formulating a simple, clear picture is not easy. The attached schematic
depicts an overview of the
effort. Part of the diagram hopes to separate the special interests as
participants and member
organizations so as to be helpful in the public sector with social issues.
The groups fall into two
natural sectors; (1) supply generators; and (2) user/service organizations.
In the middle is the system
and its management that interconnects those benefiting groups and the
donor/recipient LifeTrak
cardholders. I can embellish more on these later. The diagram gives us a
place to begin discuss and
talking points in order to try to simplify how the concept could be developed
and supported and where the
revenue model which creates dramatic efficiencies generates management and
license fee. I hope we can
get together soon. Although Vince Kaminski cannot directly contribute due to
his other commitments, I
have copied him to keep him advised (hoping that he might be able to do more
at a later date.). Best

Today's focus: Intellectual property and ASPs
---------------------------------------------
By Mike Jude and Nancy Meachim
The deeper we get into the e-business paradigm, the more concerns we
discover.
The other day, we were talking to a manager at a large
telecommunications company who was anxious over the contractual
arrangements for an electronic-business relationship her company is
developing. Specifically, she was worried about the protection of
intellectual property in such an arrangement.
Intellectual property - or IP, as it is known to lawyers - refers to
copyrights, patents and trade secrets upon which your company depends
for its competitive advantage. In short, it,s anything you don,t want
your competitors to get their hands on. It can also include intangibles
such as goodwill from current customers.
How is IP put at risk in an application service provider (ASP)
relationship? In any ASP arrangement, a customer is forced to disclose
intellectual property to one degree or another. The property may be
simple business plans or proprietary customer information. In any event,
it is information that could do a great deal of harm if it were leaked
to competitors or the universe at large. In the case of full-service
ASPs (those that provide integration and Web design services), IP can
also include the look and feel of the business in e-space.
The problem is trust. An ASP must convince its customers that their
information is secure. But how does an ASP even know what information
needs to be protected? Customers must retain full rights to their
intellectual property and ensure that it is secure from disclosure.
The most effective way for a customer to secure IP rights and
obligations is through a contract that clearly states who owns what.
Just like a prenuptial agreement, both parties go into the arrangement
with rights and property. It is important to get these on paper prior
to the business relationship. And this contract is different from a
service-level agreement SLA). While the SLA is a performance document,
the business relationship contract is one of rights and responsibilities.
This also applies to the look and feel of the business. If an ASP
develops a Web presence for a customer that provides a unique advantage
to that customer, it is essential that the customer get its IP rights
in writing. One peculiarity of the IP world is that unless you
specifically say something to the contrary, the creator of the IP is
the owner.
The guidance Enterprise Management Associates always gives is: when in
doubt, write it down. If it offends the other party, at least you know
where the sensibilities are. If it doesn,t, then that tells you
something as well. In any case, having an obligation or right expressed
on paper establishes a point of reference if things get fuzzy in the
day-to-day ASP operation.
As our telco manager friend noted, many things are uncertain in the new
e-business world we are creating. She is right. But we will be more
confident as we proceed if we remember that the obligations of good
business practice have not changed.

Subject: Re: Confidential
Both,
Thanks for your comments and comparisons, it is good to get context.
Based on your comments here would be my proposal
o63,500 basic salary -
o15K kickers for each of the 2 years - These are paid as a lump sum on each
anniversary guaranteed. Therefore guaranteed salary is effectively o78,500 -
this is completely separate and in addition to any performance bonus
Increase the value of options to o60K to vest 1/3 as before - which leaves a
1/3 ($20,000 ) hanging out there at the end of the contract.
Just FYI - Anjam is currently on o68,000 but does not have an agreement, so
this would effectively put a 10.5K gap between the two.
Let me know your thoughts.

bonus or incremental bonus?

Thanks for your message.
I don't know the labor market in London that well but here the market
for quants is very hot. Steve is in my view an exceptionally talented person
and I would go an extra mile to retain him long-term for the company.
I would adjust the base salary or the kicker upward a bit.
o62,000 Basic is what Anjam is receiving currently (if I remember
correctly). Steve has a much higher value
to Enron than Anjam.

Subject: Enron, case study at Nordic business schools
Dear Mark,
I want to thank you for two very interesting days and a very pleasant
evening in London at the European PR conference.
As you may remember from the session "Ideas Forum", I presented an idea of
introducing Enron's transformation from an "old" industry/energy company to
an innovative player in the "new" economy as a case study at the leading
Nordic business schools. I have later discussed the idea with Enron's head
of the Nordic region, Thor Lien. He agrees that this could be a good way of
raising the awareness of Enron in the Nordic business community. One reason
for this is that several professors of the Nordic business schools are
frequent speakers at business conferences, they are very often sought by
business reporters to give comments etc. If Enron becomes a "top of mind"
innovative company with these professors, it will help relation-building and
PR work towards the business community.
I understood from you that some US business schools have developed similar
(?) case studies on Enron. Do you or someone else in Enron have access to
such case studies? If so, would it be possible for you to send us copies? It
would be a great help for us.
Best regards,
Oddbjorn Tysnes

Stinson,
I add the total P/L due to contract rollover. When the number of trades is
large
and the spread is not too small, the model prints a lot of money, dominated by
those trade earning the half of BO spread.
I also wrote an explaination about the model on the front page. I think we
are
ready to deliever the model V.1.
The next step is to incorporate the intra-day market movement by using high

Subject: SAS
to the group:
if you wish to use SAS, there are a few simple things you need to do:
1) you need to get a Unix password if you don't already have one (your user
id will be the same as on the NT network, but a different password is issued)
2) you need a program called "Exceed" on your PC. request it from IT (you
already have this if you are already a user of LIM on the Unix platform)
3) you need an "ftp" program on your PC. you can go to www.download.com and
download one (i like wsftp)
4) Exceed is funny in the way it runs. When you invoke Exceed (or LIM
Advanced User (under Infobases) if you already have this) it will install
itself the first time, and will then "disappear" to the Taskbar. you need to
*right* click on the taskbar on Exceed, and then choose "Tools" and "Client
Startup" and then "New."
You will enter a box which should already be set for REXEC and an XWindow
emulation. You need to specify the Host Type as Sun, enter your User Name and
Password, set the Host Name to:
capers.ect.enron.com
and then, on the Command Line, type the following (carefully):
/usr/openwin/bin/xterm -display @D
Then, use the file menu to Save this as capers.xs and then click on the Run!
menu. within a second or two, a window will open up with you logged into the
serve capers. You are now on a Unix server, and the directory is your home
directory. From here, if you simply type "sas" the 3 windows for an
interactive session with SAS should open on your desktop. You are in business.
5) you also need to install your ftp. follow the procedures with the
software, and then create a new session called "enron" where you choose as
the server simply "earth" (do not add any further descriptors such as
.enron.com). supply your user name and *unix* password, check the "remember
password" box, and the default communication setups should be correct (eg,
host type as "automatic detect").
when you invoke ftp and connect to enron, it will put you in your home
directory on the Unix system, the same directory your xwindow comes up in
under Exceed.
if you have any problems, i'll be happy to help
Clayton
PS i have a complete set of new SAS manuals i am happy to loan out if you'll
just write your name down when you take them.

Ken,
I would like to invite you to an off-site meeting of John Griebling's
organization
and the Research Group.
Date: April 27 - April 29
Location: Breckenridge, Colorado
As you know, John Griebling is managing the network design and construction
project
currently under way in EBS. The Research Group is actively involved in this
effort
which requires advanced quantitative skills in the area of stochastic
optimization and
stochastic processes (for modeling and forecasting Internet traffic flows).
The objective of this meeting is to develop common language and accomplish
transfer
of skills between the two groups, to facilitate cooperation on this project
in the future.
We are inviting Joe Hirko and Kevin Hannon to this meeting. We would
appreciate if you could
speak, together with Joe and Kevin, on strategic directions of EBS. It is
important for a group
of technical people, with relatively specialized technical skills, to
understand the big picture.
I am attaching the preliminary agenda for this meeting.

Subject: MarketPoint Business Plan Summary
Vince:
Thanks very much for your interest in our MarketPoint product, and thanks
for the hour you gave me this morning. As promised, I am enclosing our
executive summary and first chapter from our business plan for you to take
forward to your management as a prospective Enron-MarketPoint investment
collaboration. I want to reiterate that should Enron elect to be the lead
investor here, you will be exclusive in your industry if you want. If Enron
wants to be the lead and ensure the entire second round of resources we
need, we would not offer and investment opportunity to other trading
companies, pipelines, or electrics until the third or subsequent rounds and
then only with your participation as a MarketPoint board member. I am aware
you have coinvested with SAP in the past and that you might want to coinvest
with them again. I presume you would not have a problem with
non-competitors such as EPRI, our management consulting service provider
partner, or our VC partner (but I would want guidance from you in this
arena). I think you would find our VC partner very suitable and very
attractive. They have done several interesting energy and trading plays,
and they would provide good management skills I believe. I hope we can move
forward together. I am looking forward to a positive response. Thanks
again and best regards.
Dale Nesbitt
PS: You might hear from Drew Ries of your Investments group. I spoke with
him after speaking with you about many of the same issues.

Molly,
Let's get L1 for Anshuman, just in case. I am sure he will stay here for a
while
once he comes. It is quite obvious Jeff Shankman will have to keep him
longer,
given the priority of the project.
I assume there are no problems with Sandeep.
Thanks.

Thank you for the update, Vince. I have been working with Margaret Daffin
with regard to Anshuman's visa status. We will have to get an L1 visa in
place before he can come to the United States, even in a temporary
capacity. Do you want to move forward with that effort at this time, or
is the possibility of him coming to the U.S. so remote that it wouldn't be
worth the time and money right now?

This is an update on Anshuman. Please, see below. It seems
that his transfer is not an issue for the time being.
We can put it on a back-burner till he gets here.
Vince
P.S. The relevant section.
I also spoke about Anshuman, and there was resistance to his leaing for such
a long time. However, I have agreement from folks here to send him to
Houston for a shorter stint on DPC budget. I will try to finalize that
before I leave. I will call you in the evening to just chat.

Just wanted to let you know that I had a meeting with Wade Cline (COO, Enron

Though I had already spoken to all of them earlier about my joining your
group, today it became official, and all of them supported the move. I
explained to them what we would be doing, and the results expected from the
Henwood study.
DPC would like to pay the costs for the study, and that was mentioned. There
maybe some tax issues etc. that need to be cleared, and other related issues
that I would like to discuss with you, so I will leave them till I get to
Houston.

Subject: Credit Applicatiions in GRMS
THIS NOTE IS FROM TED MURPHY (not bjorn hagelman)
My understanding is that yet another meeting has been scheduled with the
intent
of diverting resources from the GRMS project to some other project.
While I am not privy to the urgency of this other project, I do know that we
have a very large, multi -phase project going in GRMS.
GRMS stands for the GLOBAL RISK MONITORING SYSTEM. It is not intended to be a
commercial trading product not is its primary purpose for commercial
decision-making. Conceptually, it is a risk warehouse for the primary purpose
of RAC due to the deficiency of current front office trading systems and their
inability to provide timely, aggregated information useful to RAC.
RAC has spent over a year developing a business plan scope and detailed task
list to accomplish its objectives. As a firm we are woefully behind our press
clippings in our ability to aggregate and understand our risk profile. My
most
recent sojorn in Europe is a classic example of the current systems inabilty
to
aggregate and meet the needs of RAC having abetted poor decision making and
causing cash losses in well in excess of the GRMS budget or that of the Market
Risk Group in RAC.
The GRMS project is a requirement that Bill Bradford and I have in order to do
our jobs. We have delegated authority to Debbie Brackett and Rudi Zipter to
make decisions regarding priorities and as such meet regularly with Jonathon
and
his team as well as Rick Buy to provide updates. While progress is never as
fast as we would like it, in every instance in which we have only to rely on
RAC, Jonathon's team and Research to make a deadline it haas been hit. The
primary reason for any delays whatsoever has been the diversion of resources
off
the project or the reliance for cooperation from some other source - most
recently the IT staff in London was a tremendous impediment to deadlines.
Please excuse the frustration that is apparently coming through in this note,
but I feel like the boy with his finger in the dyke and no one is listening.
Also, I have had several employees come to resignation over their frustration
on
the lack of management support for this project, usually manifesting itself in
the lack of resources or the diversion of resources devoted to it.
I think we have proven collectively that we can organize a modular multiphase
project and provide tangible deliverables when not distracted. Please let us
do
our jobs. I do not denigrate the efforts of others, but I believe that they
must either submit their detailed requirements to us for our consideration of
their worthiness to put in OUR que or develop their own project with their own
resources.
Thank you for your consideration of this opinion. As it relates to things
that
will effect the ability of Market Risk to do its job, please consult me as I
would you.
Ted

I have one challenge I did not anticipate

The materials were prepared in collaboration with a professor

Subject: Asset Swaps vs CDS's
John,
I haven't had much time to put something together on this issue.
Fundamentally both instruments represent the same credit risk, i.e. same
credit events and contingent payments, both represent senior unsecured credit
risk. The differences in pricing therefore arise purely from supply and
demand. One would expect generally that the asset swap would be lower than
the CDS because of liquidity: there are only so many bonds out there, and so
demand for Asset swaps is limited. I am attaching a one page note by JP
morgan where they claim that one of the principal reasons for the CDS to be
more expensive is people hedging convertible bonds by combining (1) a call
option on the equity and (2) a CDS. If the call is cheap they will be
willing to pay more for the CDS, driving the price up. I'll try to
synthesize something more complete next week.
Cheers
Martin

Subject: Can Supply Grow Fast Enough to Meet Increased Demand?
For GPCM Modelers from http://www.enerfax.com:
Natural Gas Supply Chasing Demand
Natural gas suppliers face a tough challenge in meeting strong growth in
demand in the near future, experts told an industry conference in Houston
yesterday. The MMS and the National Petroleum Council have projected that
demand for natural gas could rise to 30 Tcf a year by 2010 from current
levels of 22 Tcf. Finding and delivering enough natural gas to meet such an
increase, even if demand takes another ten years to reach such levels, will
be not be easy, the conference was told. The Gulf of Mexico currently
provides about a quarter of the nation's natural gas requirements and is
expected to generate the majority of future production growth. The MMS says
that natural gas production from the Gulf of Mexico would likely rise from
about 5 Tcf a year now to a peak of 6.1 Tcf in 2005 and then start to
decline. At best, production would peak at 6.7 Tcf in 2010 then bedin to
decline. Chevron says that to meet demand of 30 Tcf by 2020, average daily
gas production in the Gulf of Mexico would have to rise to 22 Bcf cubic feet
from about 14 Bcf now. The GRI says it expects the Gulf of Mexico and Canada
to be 'key pillars' in meeting US demand for natural gas. The GRI projects
that Gulf of Mexico production can reach 8 Tcf a year by 2015, while Canadian
imports will rise to 4 Tcf a year from 3 Tcf. Over the same period the GRI
forecasts that supply in the lower 48 states can grow by 5.7 Tcf, with the
Rocky Mountains region contributing a third of the increase. Ziff Energy said
planners and forecasters might be taking too pessimistic a view of production
decline rates from mature gas wells in the shallow waters of the Gulf of
Mexico. Those wells usually show a rapid decline in production in the early
years of their life but then they tend to maintain stable output for
relatively long periods. Also, the MMS said new technologies such as
gas-to-liquid conversion, could help to harness stranded gas in remote
locations where pipeline systems cannot be built. Storage will also play an
increasingly important role.
Offshore Drillers Beginning to Recover
The offshore oil and natural gas drilling sector has enjoyed a modest
upturn in fortunes for the first quarter, but their mood remains far from
jubilant as earnings lag well behind the peak levels of 1998. The benefits of
the strong recovery in oil prices over the past year have been slow to
trickle down to drilling contractors because most large producers have not
raised their drilling budgets. Over the last week most US drilling companies
have reported sharp earnings declines for the first quarter of 2000, compared
to a year ago. However, many of them posted better numbers than in the final
quarter of 1999 and even managed to better Wall Street's estimates of
earnings per share by a few cents. Although earnings are still showing scant
upward momentum, their stock prices have performed strongly since last year
in anticipation of a gradual improvement. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange
oilfield services index, rose 66.8% in 1999 and is up another 31% so far this
year. So far, the recovery has been largely confined to the shallow waters of
the Gulf of Mexico, fueled by a scramble to produce more natural gas.
Day-rates for Gulf of Mexico jackups have risen 30% compared with the final
quarter of 1999, with utilization rising to 99% from 87%. Day-rates for
jackups in the North Sea and Asia, however, have fallen with utilization of
down to 77% from 81%.

Subject: CHARM
Jim,
1. I can confirm that CHARM does express traditional exposures in a VAR
format. One of the beauties of CHARM is that it expresses any quantifiable
exposure in a VAR format, i.e. financial, insurance, weather risks. In
addition, it has the capability of incorporating correlations between risks
- to the extent that they can be quantified.
2. To get the ball rolling, I will send you a broschure of CHARM this
week. I also suggest a conference call with Carl Groth of our NY office.
Carl knows CHARM well and my thought is that we can give you some more
ideas of this product in order for you to decide whether or not you would
like to pursue a presentation. A presentation can be arranged at the
location of your choice.
Let me know if the above fits your purpose or if you would prefer to move
in another direction.
Regards,
Bertil

3:30pm tomorrow the 9th will be fine. We will have to change the schedule
a little bit, but I believe it will work.
Kevin Kindall 3:30 PM
Grant Masson 4:00 PM
Tanya Tamarchenko 4:30 PM
Vince Kaminski 5:00 PM
Same scenario - upon arrival in the lobby go to the security desk and ask
for me. I will meet you in the lobby of the 19th floor.
Thanks so much for your flexibility!

Sure, tomorrow is fine with me. Is it possible to schedule it at 3:30 PM?
And I am sure it is not an easy task to fit the schedule of several people to
be available at the same time window. So please feel free to let me know if
you will need to do another time adjustment.

Please do not think we are always this unorganized, but things just seem
to be happening right now and it is disrupting everyone's schedule.
Would you possibly be able to come tomorrow the 8th? Kevin Kindall
will not be here on the 15th and he would definately like to interview you.
Then Vince Kaminski will be gone for two weeks after the 15th. It seems
like tomorrow might be the best time for everyone, if it is for you.
We can begin the interviews at 3:00 PM and probably end them at 5:00
or 5:30 pm.
Please let me know.
Thanks so much for your understanding.

Definitely - any of these days sound good to me. The only concern that I
have, is that I have my graduate class on Thursday night at 6 PM which is
September the 14th.
So if you will schedule the interview on the 14th of September, I would
need
to leave around 5:15 PM so I could attend my class.
It actually might be more convenient for me to meet with the interviewers
on
the 15th of September. If this day does not fit the schedule of any of the
interested in interviewing individuals, I surely will be able to meet with
them on the 14th.
I will be looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Valeria Stone

Would you be able to do the interview on the 14th or 15th instead of the
13th? Vince Kaminski, who would really like to interview you, has been
called out of town on the 13th. He will be back on the 14th.
Also Grant Masson is conducting an Options Seminar on the 13th and
would not be able to interview you until after 5:00 PM.
Please let me know if we can just push the interview to the same time
frame only on the 14th or 15th.
Thanks!
