Stakeholder Roundtable on CPUC Innovations October 12, 1999 1 pm California Public Utilities Commission 505 Van Ness Avenue Auditorium San Francisco (Corner of Van Ness Avenue and McAllister Street) The Stakeholder Roundtable is a key element of our ongoing effort to assure that the way the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) conducts business is fully aligned with evolving publicly-valued needs and expectations. Federal and state utility deregulation, technological change, as well as other current issues with widespread impact including area code proliferation, local and long distance telephone competition, competition in electricity services, and the need for consumer education and protection in competitive industries. All of these make it imperative for the CPUC to continue to strive to address stakeholder and public needs in innovative and efficient ways. The goal of the Stakeholder Roundtable is to hear your suggestions for specific, feasible, needed innovations at the CPUC with respect to, for instance, changes in processes, rules, ways of conducting business, and ways we interact and communicate with the public and others. We also seek ideas from our employees on how we can make the Commission a more fulfilling place to work. Recently, the Commission issued its Draft 1999 - 2000 CPUC Business Plan for stakeholder review and comment (available at www.cpuc.ca.gov). Within it are ongoing process reform efforts, planned innovations in expanded electronic access to the CPUC, and additional planned streamlined procedures to benefit stakeholders and the public directly. The Draft Business Plan incorporates a set of eight good government initiatives I proposed this spring and the Directors' responses to an innovation survey conducted by the Governor's Office of Innovation in Government. These documents are available on the Commission website in association with this notice. The Stakeholder Roundtable is intended to go a step further by enabling us to hear firsthand from electric, telephone, and gas utilities and providers, rail, water, transportation, and other regulated entities. We also seek input from the public, consumer groups, industry labor representatives, legislators, the Administration, other government agencies, employee advocacy groups and employee union representatives about innovations or improvements you think we should make to better serve public and stakeholder interests, and how we should begin to implement them expeditiously. Contact Garret Shean at 415-703-1114; 916-327-1416, or GShean@cpuc.ca.gov by September 13th if you wish to be a Stakeholder Roundtable participant. Submission Instructions for Stakeholder Roundtable: As a starting point, the Roundtable will consider: Where are we now? Where should we be? How do we get there? In asking, "Where should we be?" the Commissioners seek constructive ideas on making the agency effective, efficient, and future-oriented. Areas for discussion might include, for example: New or evolving regulatory models for the Commission's regulatory, oversight, education, consumer protection, and enforcement roles; Communication, both to and from the Commission, and access to Commission information, focusing on ease of use, availability of information or employees, and the timeliness and value of available information; Electronic interfacing between the Commission and stakeholders, and e-business processes including the transferring information to and sharing of databases; The development of expert systems or automated processes for repetitive business processes; and Feedback mechanisms to continuously inform the Commission of a need to re-align its processes to address changing circumstances or enhanced technology. Responses: The Commission requests that stakeholder responses be submitted electronically at Gshean@cpuc.ca.gov. Internal PUC submissions are to GPS on Outlook. Hardcopy submissions may be mailed to Mr. Shean, Room 5119, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102 The Commission requests that all potential participants provide on or before September 20, 1999, a one-page summary of their innovation suggestions so that they can be compiled into general topic areas for panel selection and circulated electronically to participants prior to the Roundtable to facilitate a valuable dialogue. An agenda, including a designation of topic panels, for the Roundtable will be returned to all respondents on October 5, 1999. Non-panel participants may address the Roundtable during a general comment period. Following the initial Roundtable, staff teams will review the replies, conduct any needed public workshops to discuss comments on stakeholder suggestions, and prepare an implementation plan for Commission consideration.

Due to changed circumstances, draft resolution L-285 will not be placed on the agenda for consideration at the Commission's September 2, 1999 meeting. Since the matter will require consideration by the Commission at a future business meeting, the Daily Calendar will provide notice and information about filing comments at a future time.
