WMS recognizes that additional minor language clarification may be needed in Section 8.1.1.2 as noted by ERCOT Staff.
WMS in Brief • Upcoming NPPRs • NPRR 231 - Remove RMR Units from the Day-Ahead Market • After discussion, WMS voted to recommend that RMR Units be available in the Day-Ahead Reliability Unit Commitment (DRUC) and Hourly Reliability Unit Commitment (HRUC) and for ERCOT to remove RMR Units from the DAM by a workaround that does not impact implementation of NPRR231 prior to the Texas Nodal Market Implementation Date (TNMID). • WMS respectfully asked that an SME provide guidance to PRS and NATF with regard to the system impacts of removing RMR Units from the DAM; WMS did not draft language in the absence of guidance from an SME.
WMS in Brief • Upcoming NPPRs • NPRR 240 - Proxy Energy Offer Curve • WMS discussed NPRR 240 at the June 16th meeting and again on a Webex on June 21st.

WMS Working Group and Task Force Comments Good practice for WG's and TF's to submit comments to RevisionRequest (RevisionRequest@ERCOT.COM) following meeting discussions regarding pending NPRR's, if there was consensus or if alternative perspectives could be articulated as options for Subcommittee consideration NEW Working Group Comment form introduces a section for the Working Group Attendees List - so that a reviewer can better understand if the comments reflect narrow or broad market consensus since the WG's and TF's have no formal voting structure. Comments filed in the NPRR process will allow for more timely consideration in advance of voting subcommittee and TAC meetings as well as enable better documentation of the stakeholder review of the NPRR and also enable other subcommittees and market participants to comment on the WG/TF comments in advance of the reporting Subcommittee review (in our case WMS). Obviously, if the WG/TF cannot reach general consensus or agreement on options no comments need be filed
Other issues • NODAL Test Market Issues • DAM versus RT results – to be discussed in July • Proposed Revisions to the Wholesale Market Subcommittee Procedures • To be voted on in August, 2010
