    This e-mail is intended to reach all of those who have expressed an
interest in being part of the Legal Work Group subgroup addressing the RTO
bylaws, articles and tax status.  Please let me know if my e-mail
distribution list is missing anyone who would like to participate in the
subgroup.

    I would divide the immediate tasks before us into four main
categories:

    1.  General Governance Issues (Especially RTO Membership, Board
Composition and Technical Advisory Committee Issues)

    At the Governance Workshop on June 15, we had a good discussion of
issues relating to the appropriate number and scope of membership classes,
board composition and method of selecting the members of the Technical
Advisory Committee.  Barney Speckman is in the process of scheduling a
meeting in early July for a continuation of discussion of these topics and
any other governance issues that may be of interest.

    2.  Board and Employee Conflict of Interest Provisions/Board
Member Qualifications

    One element of the RTO bylaws that will require a fair amount of
thought and discussion is the appropriate nature and extent of the trustee
and employee disqualification/conflict of interest provisions.  Another such
element is the required qualifications of the RTO board members.  John
Buechler of the New York ISO has prepared for us a good summary of the board
member qualifications that have been adopted or are under consideration by
various existing or proposed ISOs, and Barney Speckman will distribute
copies of John's summary to the group.  I would like to have a discussion of
these issues at the next meeting, with the aim of preparing and circulating
one or more straw man proposals as soon thereafter as possible.
