April 2, 1996

To: CPUC Restructuring Participants -- Unbundling/ Pricing/ Rate Design and PBR

The Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) will be sponsoring an organizational meeting of Restructuring parties interested in a Working Group on Unbundling/ Pricing/ Rate Design and possibly PBR issues. This meeting will be held Monday, April 15, 1996, beginning at 9:30 AM, in the CPUC's auditorium at 505 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco

The purpose of this organizational meeting is to discuss the CPUC's Restructuring Decision (D.95-12-063), the "Roadmap" Decision (D.96-03-022), and the organization and timetable necessary for a Working Group to be established for these issues and to ensure a "broad cross-section of interests" and "diversity of viewpoints" (D.96-03-022, at p. 9) in addressing these issues.

Specific items to be discussed will include 1) internal organization of the Working Group and coordination with other working groups, 2) issues to be discussed and possible subcommittees, 3) process to be followed to reach decisions, 4) mission statement development, and 5) identification of work products and establishment of time tables. In order to save meeting time, parties may submit to DRA by Thursday, April 10, written suggestions for a mission statement, issues to be addressed, etc. DRA will compile this information and provide it at the meeting. In addition, please notify me by fax at (415) 703-1981 or e-mail at j.price@cpuc.ca.gov if you have suggestions for other agenda topics.

Please let us know if you plan on attending this meeting. If you cannot attend this meeting and would like to remain on the mailing list for further meeting notices and draft products, please send your name, address, telephone and FAX numbers, and e-mail address to me at the address above or by e-mail to j.price@cpuc.ca.gov.

We look forward to seeing you on April 15, 1996. If any scheduling changes occur, they will be posted on DRA's Internet server, at http://dra1.cpuc.ca.gov (http://162.15.5.2). If you have other questions, feel free to call me at (415) 703-1797 or Scott Cauchois at (415) 703-1525.
