TOP MANAGEMENT

* Original Management Team Departs at RLX	top   mail <http://people.venturewire.com/o_mailer.asp?sid=IJQQMHJNII>
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- Most of the original management team has left RLX Technologies, a supplier of Web servers founded earlier this year by ex-Compaq computer executives. Earlier this week VentureWire reported that Michael Swavely, formerly president and chief operating officer, had left the company last week, and that Gary Stimac, chairman and CEO, will step down from the CEO position. Company spokesperson Patrick Kimball confirmed that there have been additional executive departures.

Among those leaving were chief financial officer, J Tempesta; vice president of development, Keith McAuliffe; vice president of systems engineering, Ronnie Ward; and vice president of business development, Bob Jackson. The company said it will seek replacements.

A spokesperson said that the executives chose to leave the firm as RLX underwent restructuring. In August, the company laid off 17% of its staff, or 20 employees, citing a slow market for IT products.

RLX Technologies has raised $59 million in financing from ComVentures, IBM, Ignition, Soros Private Equity Partners, and Sternhill Partners.

BEDFORD, MASS. -- IntellectExchange, which assists companies in finding experts to solve business, technology, and research problems, said it appointed Jonathan Rubin as its first president and CEO. The new executive told VentureWire that the company is raising its last stage of seed financing.

Mr. Rubin, 42, joins the company from E-Sync, where he was CEO. He was introduced to IntellectExchange through technology executive search firm the Onstott Group, based in Wellesley, Mass. He has also been named to the company's three-member board.

The CEO said that the company is raising its final piece of seed funding for $1.5 million. He expects to close the round by the end of the year. The company has raised $2.5 million from individual investors to date. The money will be used for sales and marketing and product development. The company could go after its Series A as early as the second quarter of 2002, he said.

Mr. Rubin said the company is in the early stages of talking to two different companies about acquiring them. Both companies approached IntellectExchange, he said, adding, that if the deals were to be done, they would be in the form of cash and stock.

Subject: Invitation - Wharton ET Events

Vince hello,

I just wanted to followup up on our meeting at Wharton and let you know
that there are two upcoming events that you may want to attend - or
designate others from Enron to attend.  Both of these events are good
opportunities to "test drive" the Emerging Technologies program and see if
there is an interest in joining our partner group.

SEPTEMBER 8 - WHAT NEXT ON THE INTERNET?

Our next insight-building event will be held at Wharton on Friday,
September 8 and is entitled "What Next On the Internet?"

This is primarily a Wharton faculty event and we will be exploring 3 areas:
1) the New Economics on the Web, 2) Internet, Anywhere, and 3)
Implications for (academic) Research and Education.  Speakers will include
Jay Walker (Priceline.com), David Farber (Chief Technologist at the FCC)
and Mohan Sawhney (Kellog Univ., one of the nation's thought leaders on
e-Commerce), along with several senior Wharton faculty members.

There will be considerable discussion on how the next generation of the
Internet will evolve and the implications for management and management
research.  We are inviting our industry partners to join us at this event,
and participate in the discussion, which should contain some valuable
insights and also provides an opportunity to help set our research agenda.
You are most welcome to participate, or designate a colleague, if you like.

OCTOBER 19&20 - WINNERS & LOSERS IN THE E-COMMERCE SHAKEOUT

This will be a major Impact Conference to explore the coming Internet
shakeout, and apply some of the traditional shakeout measures to E-Commerce
and try to determine what we can expect.  It should be an intriguing day.
If you plan to attend please RSVP early since we are sure to be
"overbooked" for this event.  This is probably the best showcase for our
insight-building activities, if you would like to invite any colleagues
help determine if it makes sense for Enron to become a partner in the ET
Program.

If you'd like to RSVP for you and any colleagues who would like to attend
one or both of the events described above,  send me an email reply and I'll
send you a more detailed agenda and speaker description, etc.

I'll be on vacation the rest of this week but if you have any questions or
comments you can call or email me next week.

best regards,
Michael

When you are scheduling the two Wheelabrator units, please use the following
counterparties in CAPS:

MARTEL_2_AMFOR:  Wheelabrat
WSENGY_1_Unit 4:  WheelSHAST

We account for these separately and thus they need to be scheduled as two
separate entities.

In Enpower there are two counterparties set up as well:

MARTEL_2_AMFOR:  WHEELABRMA
WSENGY_1_Unit 4:  WHEELABRSH

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions,

Can either of the two distinguished Jim's from accounting help me with a
financial liquidation problem from 0007.  I have a deal NR2989.1 that is
showing up in my actuals for the beloved FRED file for this production
month.  When I look at the deal in TAGG, the deal is an annuity booked to
NG-Price.  I do not believe this should be in the central region.  Any
assistance in clearing this is much appreciated due to the fun meeting we had
yesterday regarding financial liquidations.  Thanks for your help guys.

Hello Mark and Brent,

Attached is the steel swap Term Sheet and the natural gas swap term sheet.
We are offering Hylsamex a discounted fixed price natural gas financial swap
and in return for this discount, we will be buying fixed price steel
(financial) from Hylsamex.  The discounted natural gas swap is contingent
upon our receiving discounted steel from Hylsamex.  Would you put language to
these swaps so as to make the gas swap contingent upon the steel swap.

Please send the results as soon as possible to all of the above, and
especially communicate to Jamie Williams in our Monterrey office (011 528
152-2403, as he will be sending the final term sheet to Hylsamex tomorrow
(11/2).  Jaime will be expecting your communication tomorrow.

Thank you,

Tim McKone


Hi,

I found your names in the evening MBA directory of the Haas web site.
Please ignore this message if you are not interested in being a key
founding player in an early stage startup.

I have a compelling business idea, have built a web site
http://www.jiss.com/, and have good management background in
software/web development.  I am looking for key members to form
a strong founding team to help secure funding and build the business.

If you have management experience in the functions of business
development, or sales and marketing particularly in the software or
consulting industry, and is convinced of the idea presented in my
web site, please contact me.

thanks,
Dowson

I updated that systems matrix recently, in preparation for our much
rescheduled meeting with AA on risk controls.  That is on my calendar for
Friday morning this week, so I will bring copies with me to that meeting.

I have been publishing an ENA operations report monthly since June.  To date,
I have been reviewing it with Dave Delainey, fine-tuning each month the types
of information and format that he likes.  I will bring you a copy tomorrow
and would like your input on content and format as well.  With the recent
reorganization, I am working with EGM and EIM to create the same report.
After we have mastered that here in Houston over the next month or so, I plan
to share the format with London so that all of our wholesale businesses can
use the same format.

In addition to these monthly operating reports, we are working on a daily
report to be operational by the end of the fourth quarter that will track
compliance with our fundamental operating standards.  We are in the phase of
determining the source of reporting (systematic or manual) and the frequency
of reporting (daily, weekly, monthly) for all commodities and locations
against the operating standards.  As we get this to a first draft stage, I
will share this with you, as well as the timeline for full implementation.

Subject: Global Systems Matrix

Rick - You had asked a while back for a matrix that captures all of the
different systems used by commodity, by office and by functional group.  This
(draft) version encompasses Houston and London activities.  We will expand
this document to include other offices and products in the next few months.
Let me know your questions and comments.


Attached is the draft of ENA/EES comments to be filed Thursday in the
proceeding on the complaint filed by various producers, the CPUC, SoCal Gas,
and SoCal Edison against El Paso Natural Gas, alleging that El Paso has
oversold its system and that full requirements contracts should be converted
to CD.  Our comments agree with the complainants, illustrated by EES
experiences with Southwest Gas this past winter.

If you have any comments or questions about this filing, please let me or
Leslie know by close of business (5:00 pm CDT) tomorrow.


Sounds good.

I'm on a conference call that won't end.  I received your fax and will try to
call you this afternoon.

Subject: Local Government Resolutions

I received today notarized copies of the Resolutions of Support from the
Edgecombe County Commissioners, the City Council and Mayor, and the local
economic development organization, Carolinas Gateway.

I will file them with the Commission when we file the cost data late this
week or early next week.  That would also be a good time to file any project
updates, such as information regarding the generators.


Nicole - Please find attached a draft First Amendment to the Master
Agreement.  We would propose that we execute the amendment,  the letter and
the new guarantee sometime tomorrow.

Please find attached a revised version of the market opening condition
precedent language that will need to be included, for the time being, in all
Canadian power transactions, whether physical or financial.  I believe this
language is now in final form.

This buy/sell ticket with Calp takes forever. I've been pathing for 4 hours
on just one side of it. It's very hard to keep physical flow versus this
accounting flow straight. If Enron wants it done this way... may need to hire
a full time pathing person. Can you tell... how unhappy this makes me.

Also... not sure how Hopewell should be done and SIT. I just pathed the
amount of 4500 baseload, plus the extra gas that was bought about a week ago.
Reality... the hopewell ticket should be actualized to burn and SIT is used
to make up the difference. Not sure how Enron wants this done.

Kathy and Victor... will definately need your help in the bridging process
and clean-up. Have no clue how this is done and not sure how time consuming
this will be.

TCO said the contraints will still be in place through the week... so most
our time will be scheduling gas and dealing with cuts.

Need help with accounting
process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

Enclosed for your review is a draft amendment letter for the above
counterparty.  All of the requested chnages are driven by the fact that BPA
is a federal agency.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I appreciate the time you took yesterday getting me up to speed as to your
business and where you are in the process of establishing risk operations.  I
hope you found our meeting useful as the checklist is meant to serve as an
overview of points that need to be addressed before any transactions are
entered into.

I was wondering if a meeting with Carole, Milind, Heidi, and myself has yet
been scheduled for Friday. At that time, I think we need to lay out a road
map of how the checklist items will be addressed and how I can best help you.

Regards

Shona


???  could you give me a call and suggest what to do-- I don't remember that
we ran any ads.  Thanks. DF

Mr. Fossum,

Just today I discovered that Enron NNG recently advertised an attorney job
vacancy in Omaha.  My wife and I are native "Omahans" and wish to return to
the area.  Out of hope that you have not yet filled the position, I am
attaching a cover letter and a resume for your consideration.

Thank you for any consideration you might extend me.

   Subject:    Bank of England Application

   Shortly before the teleconference Board meeting two weeks ago we
   received an
   application from the Bank of England for subscriber membership. When
   we have
   considered central banks or government agencies for membership in the
   past,
   consideration has focused on the nature of the applicant's
   derivatives
   activities, its regulatory role and the type of information they are
   likely
   to obtain from ISDA. Because of their derivatives activities, we have
   generally admitted these applicants (e.g., the Kingdoms of Belgium,
   Denmark
   and Sweden, the Reserve Banks of South Africa and New Zealand). We
   have even
   admitted the Bank for International Settlements as a member. In
   general, we
   let them know that they may not be able to receive the full range of
   ISDA
   materials (e.g., draft comment letters or position papers) and that
   there
   may be a need to exclude them from certain committees or discussions.

   In previous Board discussions, a higher degree of concern has been
   expressed
   if, theoretically, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan, the Bank
   of
   England or similarly influential central banks were to apply for
   membership.
   These central banks typically have a greater degree of involvement in
   the
   regulatory debates (particularly on capital) and are better
   positioned to
   influence the process.

   Since some of those previous debates, the regulatory role of the Bank
   of
   England has diminished and the role of the Financial Services
   Authority has
   correspondingly increased. The Bank of England still plays the
   traditional
   central bank roles of controller of the money supply, dealing in the
   market
   and lender of last resort, but the supervisory role has shifted to
   the FSA.

   In light of these developments, but recognizing the concerns
   previously
   expressed on central bank membership, I would appreciate your views
   on the
   application of the Bank of England. We have also had overtures from
   the Hong
   Kong Monetary Authority regarding membership although we have not
   received
   an application.

   Please share your views with the other members of the Board.

   Bob


Brad, I thought we were re-arranging the meeting to do Rates and Revenue before the other topics.
    Otherwise, looks good to me.  Thanks. Lynn
