3. Traditional Moment for Raymond • Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are. • The first one says: "Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow". • The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet". • The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: "You two know nothing about fast. My father works for the government. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45!!"

10. Voted out of JESS on March 6, 2013 Posted for 30-day formal comment on March 7, 2013 Received 4 comments NAESB WEQ Standard Review Subcommittee SPP BPA ISAS Leadership JESS met April 23, 2013, developed responses to comments e-Tag 1.8.2 Functional Specification

11. JESS has, in its late comments to the WEQ EC, recommended the specification be remanded back to JESS for further development. The WEQ EC remanded back to JESS and asked that two issues be worked upon: Address standard request R13004 from BPA and CISO for consideration of expanded role of registered Market Operators in e-Tag Address the long-standing multiple control of a single reliability limit profile per tag issue e-Tag 1.8.2 Functional Specification

12. Request R13004: BPA and the CA ISO identified in both e-Tag 1.8.1.1 and 1.8.2 and in NAESB WEQ-004 a lack of guidance for use of tagging fields in both the Market Segment and Physical Segment when entities sell to or buy from a Market Operator (i.e., ISOs and RTOs). JESS participants at the July meeting considered revising “allowed” entities in various roles within an e-Tag, but some pointed-out that approach would require significant work. JESS participants then suggested the registration of product codes in the EIR such as “Market”. BPA and CISO were asked to consider this option e-Tag 1.8.2 Functional Specification

13. At the August JESS meeting BPA and CISO were asked if the new product registration proposal was still good with them. They said yes. JESS created a “no action” recommendation on R13004 (since no standard would be changing). The new EIR products can be requested via an EIR Enhancement Request form submitted to the NAESB office. e-Tag 1.8.2 Functional Specification

14. Single reliability limit profile per tag and multiple entities that can request an adjustment. ISAS leadership and representatives are seeking to resolve the long-standing issue. At the July JESS meeting reviewed five possible approaches. At the August JESS meeting settled on “option 5”, the most complicated but most effective approach. Created a white paper and request for informal comments. e-Tag 1.8.2 Functional Specification

15. Go to http://www.naesb.org/committee_activities.asp Go to the August 15, 2013, WEQ JESS row Read the request Read the white paper Discuss at dinner Submit comments Due date is Friday September 6, 2013 e-Tag 1.8.2 Functional Specification

16. Modifications to support Order 764 Western Timing Table WEQ-017 default ramp durations Recommendation voted out at August JESS meeting Currently posted for formal comment at: http://www.naesb.org/weq_request.asp Corresponding changes related to NERC INT Rewrite effort (Project 2008-12) General clean-up WEQ-004 Coordinate Interchange Business Practice Standards

17. Developed business practice standards to drive functionality of the EIR and behavior of its users. Approved at August WEQ EC meeting Currently out for member ratification – due date September 23, 2013 WEQ Electric Industry Registry

18. Absorb the WECC “WIT” or “adjacency” registry into EIR Underway TSPs and BAs need to finish-up Phase-out CSV and mdb publication formats leaving only the XML format Also includes retiring the ftp site WEQ EIR Phase 3

MOD-A, Project 2012-05, ATC Standards, modification of MOD-001, 004, 008, 028, 029, and 030 “Informal Development” most of this year First standards drafting team meeting this week in Colorado Springs, CO West is fortunate to have Dede Subakti (CAISO) and James Randall (BPA) on the team NERC seeking strip majority of the reqirements out of those standards NERC Standards Activities

25. Coordinate Interchange Standards Draft Team, Project 2008-12, INT rewrite Informal comment period just ended CISDT meeting next week in Alburquerque, NM to address comments and prepare for balloting Tag Psuedo-tie and Dynamic Schedules Tag intra-BA transactions NERC staff has wanted more stripped out of those standards than the team NERC Standards Activities
