	E-Government Site govWorks in Desperate Search For Cash
	mail this story? top

	NEW YORK (VENTUREWIRE) -- Electronic government services firm govWorks is
taking last ditch measures in a bid to keep the company running. CEO Kaleil
Isaza Tuzman said the company is "cutting costs in every way possible" in an
effort to stay afloat, and is "every day pounding the pavement" to find
further financing or a buyer. Mr. Isaza said that as part of the company's
efforts to scale back, in the last sixty days govWorks has stopped
contributing cash to its subsidiary govWorks Latin America, a fifty-fifty
joint venture with Argentine firm Consultora Tecnologica (Cotesa), and that
the company "will continue to make that decision until we're okay." Under
that agreement govWorks and Cotesa each contributed funds on a monthly basis
to govWorks Latin America, and Cotesa has picked up govWorks' payments in the
meantime. Mr. Isaza also clarified the scale of the company's cuts. After a
p! eak of 233 employees in March, he said, govWorks cut positions in April
and mid-August, with a final round of 41 layoffs in November. The company now
has 56 employees in its domestic operations, with approximately 40 more in
its international staff through govWorks Latin America. Mr. Isaza said the
company would close rather than make further staff cuts. "This is the number
we believe we need to adequately service clients," he said. But closing shop,
said Mr. Isaza, "is not the mode we're in." The company is in post-term sheet
negotiations with three potential acquirers, he said, and is looking for "the
first fully negotiated reasonable situation that allows us to survive as a
company." He said acquisition by a competitor "makes less sense because other
companies in the market are facing similar challenges." Mr. Isaza said the
company is hitting projections made in June for an 18-month road to
profitability, but that pace was no longer in line with market expectations.
I! n April, govWorks received funding from the Mayfield Fund, Kohlberg Kravis
Roberts, American Management Systems, the Safra Group, Hearst Corp., Global
Bridge Ventures, and Metropolis Ventures. Mr. Isaza, also co-founder and
chairman of govWorks, made the comments in an interview after speaking at a
luncheon on sponsored by The Colombian American, Ecuadorean American, and
Venezuelan American Associations in New York.

Billy,

Several things I am hoping to go over with you Monday pm, but main thing is that ENA OTC is concerned that the names currently slated for the A&A PRC don't make sense.

Louise has asked me to call them and see if each are keen to do it, but main objection was the number of people from Power trading being distracted at their busiest time of the year. I told Louise that I was sure if we wanted to switch one or two around you wouldn't mind, however, I would confirm with you before suggesting alternates.

HOUSTON (Dow Jones)--In the latest update of Enron Corp.'s (ENE, news, msgs)
bandwidth trading activities, the company's chairman said Tuesday that it has
completed about 90 trades of telecommunications bandwidth.
	Speaking at the Dain Rauscher Energy 2000 Conference, Enron Chairman Ken Lay
talked about the current status and futures plans the company has for
bandwidth trading and broadband services.
	Asked what kind of company Enron is, Lay gave an answer that shows the recent
expansion of the company's business strategy beyond energy. Enron is still
basically "an energy and broadband company," he said.
	While energy is still the source of most of Enron's revenue, Lay's answer
underlines the growth potential it sees in broadband services and bandwidth
trading. A number of Enron officials have been quoted in the last year as
saying that, in a few years, it could be making as much money from those
areas as it now makes from its lucrative natural gas and power businesses.
	Enron plans to spend $600 million-$650 million this year and about the same
amount over the next two to three years on broadband and bandwidth trading,
Lay said. It will spend more during that time if necessary.
	In fact, the company is planning to sell energy assets around the world in
emerging markets that aren't growing quickly enough to meet Enron's
standards. Proceeds will be deployed into businesses like broadband and
bandwidth trading, which are growing more quickly, he said.
	In pioneering bandwidth trading as a commodity, Enron's 90 bandwidth deals
put it far ahead of competitors in that nascent market area. El Paso Energy
Corp. (EPG, news, msgs) officials have said they have done 5-10 bandwidth
trades this year. Companies like Williams Communications Group (WCG, news,
msgs) won't talk about the number of bandwidth trades they have made.
	Bandwidth is the capacity to move data between two points on a
telecommunications network.
	Enron will finish deploying its domestic telecommunications network by the
end of this year, Lay said. Some of the fiber-optic network will be lit, or
made operational, this year with the rest to be lit later.
	The company has four bandwidth trading pooling points completed in New York,
Los Angeles, Las Vegas and London. Enron's current plans call for a total of
13 pooling points.
	Bandwidth trading pooling points are facilities where telecom carriers can
connect to each other to allow data to flow from one carrier to another,
facilitating bandwidth trading.
	Enron plans to begin delivering movies to home via broadband connections in
December as part of its deal with Blockbuster Video and a number of telecom
carriers.
	The deal is a 20-year exclusive, worldwide deal with a potential contract
value of more than $1 billion to Enron, according to materials the company
handed out at the conference.

I will distribute copies of the initial draft of QFD chart to you.  The goal
of the meeting is to clearly define the customers, collect all known and
expected customer requirements (their WANTS),  prioritize the WANTS,
brainstorm HOW we can or do meet the WANTS,  prioritize the HOWS, discuss how
to organize the findings, and then talk about unnecessary or low value work.
A customer is anyone we provide services, reports, analyses, data, or any
other product to.  The customer is the C in COPIS.

 If you have any time between now and 13:00 hrs then please think of any
customer requirement (what they want from us) that you are aware of but is
not under the header "Customer Expectation".   Scribble it on your copy in an
open cell.   Other than that just bring your copy of the chart to the meeting
with you.   Thanks.

Melissa,

As you know, as of Jan 01, 2000 the Wellhead Portfolio has been segregated
from the rest of HPLC's Physical Portfolio.  As a result of this segregation,
it has become much easier to analyze and manipulate this data so that monthly
"accrual value" can be determined.  This analysis has resulted in the
realization that the Wellhead Potfolio creates approximately $275,000 of
accrual value per month.  The main drivers of this accrual value are deals
that have rolled into evergreen status, accrual term deals,  actual volumes
greater than booked, half cent bid to mid spread, incorrect markings, and
value withheld from MTM because of accrual costs.  Of the above, Greg Sharp
will receive value associated with evergreen/accrual deals, actual volumes
greater than or less than booked, and deals incorrectly marked.  Tom will
keep value associated with his half cent bid to mid and accrual value needed
to pay accrual costs (such as gas quality issues).  The breakout of this
value has been on average 60% to Greg and 40% to Tom.  The following is a
breakdown of 1st quarter accrual value.

January-

Total Accrual Value = $266,504

Greg's Value       Tom's Value
Evergreen Value =                         $140,750     Bid to Mid =
$105,000
Accrual Value =                               $53,000    Accrual Costs
=       $13,000
Actual Volumes>Booked =         $60,000           $118,000
Incorrect Marking =                       ($105,000)
Total Value =                                   $148,750

February-

Total Accrual Value = $289,305

Greg's Value       Tom's Value
Evergreen Value =                         $145,000     Bid to Mid =
$100,000
Accrual Value =                               $62,000    Accrual Costs
=       $13,000
Actual Volumes>Booked =         $65,000           $113,000
Incorrect Marking =                       ($95,000)

Eric,

Per Greg Sharp, he and Tom Martin discussed the Wellhead Accrual Income
numbers today, and Effective Q1 2000, Greg will begin recognizing this
accrual income in his financials.

It is my understanding that the new Wellhead Portfolio in Sitara assists you
in calculating this monthly number (which is estimated at $170,000 per
month).  Could you please provide the detail behind this calculation, or if
this data is pulled directly from Sitara, George and I could meet with you to
become familiar with this data extraction process.

Thank you,
Melissa

Do you have a list of the members of the Research Group who have/have not  contributed so far?
I am afraid that you may have an outdated list and a list including some temporary summer employees/
interns who cannot contribute even if they want (they are not in the system).
I think our participation may a bit higher.

Janie,

On second thought, this may be a little more complicated.  So Cal wants to treat these trades as if they are a separate entity and they also do not want to include them with our monthly netout.  If this is going to happen on a go forward basis, maybe we need to get legal documentation from So Cal allowing us to setup two separate Global counterparties.  What do you think?

Thanks

Can you send me an email (just something short) with the deal numbers of any future trades you make with Gwoon Tom?  Unfortunately, when you put a note in Sitara's special handling instructions, I don't get any kind of notification.  As long as I know the deals ahead of time, I can make sure they appear on separate invoices.  They also go to different internal mail locations and contacts so I have to correct that as well.

I requested an exception due to your circumstances.  I was told this afternoon that Treasury will not process this wire since it does not have the Cash Management Committee approval.

If it is not verified in advance and there is a problem (often the wiring and the ACH instructions are different), we risk the wire not going through.  Just let us know if you want us to send it to her ACH account.

We always use the info in SAP on checking accounts (per below).  Janie checks the info before wiring.

Michelle,

This check was dated 12/3 and was for $28,228.  It is my understanding that the bank will reject any check in excess of $15,000.

If we replace this check, it will be rejected again since it is over $15,000.  Are we authorized to make these type of payments via a wire transfer, or would we still be in violation of the payroll order?  If we can not process it as a wire, can it be processed on the 12/31 semi-monthly paycheck?

Subject:	Income Tax Settlement Reimbursement Check from Enron

Robin Treadwell deposited a check from Enron relating to the tax settlement statement prepared by Price and sent to Enron demonstrating that Enron owes me US$28,228.00.  Robin deposited the check from Enron into my bank account last Thursday evening, December 13th.  On Friday, I mailed via FedEx my tax return with a check in the amount of $32,127.00.  The IRS received the check and my return on Monday, December 17.

Today I checked my account electronically and there was only $7,000 in the account.  I called Wells Fargo Bank because the amount did not balance with my records.  The Bank informed me that the Enron check is not credited in my account because the Enron check was not honored.  They don't show that the IRS has yet forwarded my tax check, but if it has not already been received and returned to the IRS IT WILL CERTAINLY HIT MY BANK TODAY.  Enron's bank notified my bank last night that the Enron check is being returned due to non-payment and that the maker of the check needs to be notified.  Enron's bank will not give further information as to the exact reason.

Please contact me immediately as to how Enron is planning to solve this problem.

Regards,

Vicky

Andy, Here is what I am aware of regarding availability of EOL for Sunday
Trading.

The first Sunday that we opened for trading (I believe it was 10/1), we
experienced a shutdown of the entire site late Saturday which, unfortunately
included our monitors, which is why we were not aware of it until just prior
to trading time.  Trading was to open at 2:00pm and we had the site up by
aprox 2:15pm.

I am not aware of any issues on 10/8 and 10/15.

This past Sunday, 10/22 we had a problem with a release that we pushed out on
Saturday.  We are working on our release procedures and will make every
effort to have smoother releases in the future.

I hope this answers your questions, if not feel free to give me a call.

I tried to open EOL at 4 on Sunday, but we had systems problems that delayed
the opening until 6:05.  This is the third time in four or five sessions when
EOL had problems on Sunday.  Anything you can do to improve reliability would
be appreciated.

In case the Four Seasons doesn't work out, there are two other hotels
downtown you might consider:  The Stephen F. Austin (an Intercontinental I
think) and the Driskill.  Both are old (by U.S. standards) hotels that have
been updated.  For several years after its renovation the Driskill was the
nicest place in town - then came the Four Seasons.  The Stephen F. Austin was
just completely redone a year or so ago - I haven't been inside but I hear
they did a nice job.  Both are primarily business hotels so they may have
good weekend rates.


Broker is correct. Chris entered the wrong price. I'll change it to 370 when
Risk is done calcing.

Here ya go..


As our existing businesses grow and new businesses are created, ease of
movement and development of our top talent becomes essential to our success.
As you heard at the Management Conference all officers will be titled,
reviewed, promoted, and compensated according to a more standard set of
guidelines.  The process recognizes the intrinsic value of each officer,
rather than tying that individual to the value of their specific job or
reporting relationship.

Officer titling has been standardized throughout Enron.  There are four
levels of officers: members of the Enron Office of the Chairman make up Level
4.  Level 3 includes all other members of the Enron Executive Committee.
Level 2 is made up of managing directors, including company presidents and
some senior vice presidents.  Level 1 are vice presidents and some senior
vice presidents with grandfathered titles.

This year a common evaluation process is being implemented for Level 1 and
Level 2 officers.  Officers will be evaluated by a committee, through a
process referred to as the Performance Review Committee (PRC), utilizing a
standard set of performance criteria and performance ratings.  Performance
committee reviews will occur twice a year ) in July for feedback purposes and
at year-end for feedback as well as bonus and total compensation
considerations.  The Executive Committee will handle the PRC for all Level 2
officers. Review of Level 1 officers will occur at the business-unit level
first with the results &cross calibrated8 by the Executive Committee and a
group of approximately sixteen managing directors.

The goals of the PRC process is to insure a consistent standard for our
overall pool of executive talent and to provide a tool to more effectively
utilize talent throughout the organization.  To further promote consistency
the Executive Committee will consider all promotions in January of each
year.  Exceptions, internally or externally, will be infrequent.

The individual,s performance evaluation will be the starting point for all
compensation decisions.  Compensation includes base pay, bonus and long-term
awards.  A long-term program that replaces individual or business unit plans
has been approved and will be communicated to individuals before bonus
payments are made.

In addition to the Level 1 and Level 2 reviews, business unit, global and
corporate cross-functional PRC reviews for directors, senior directors and
general managers have started.  This year-end process will be utilized as a
benchmark to determine how we further refine the evaluation process at this
level in the future.

If you should have any questions about the process, please direct them to
your Human Resources Business Unit Leads per the following:

Good afternoon all--

I was wondering if we might be able to schedule an appointment sometime
tomorrow to go over the status and procedure for Net Works Origination's
legal docs so we can create a new system of maintaining a status report. I
think 30-45 minutes of your time is all we need, and if you could, please
email or call me back with a set of times that would work best for you so I
can schedule a short meeting. Thank you.

Oops. My computer sent the message before I was finished.  I continue to hope
that there is more opportunity than risk in this for us.  Price volatility is
in the news like never before and our main product is price risk management.
I know that the inquiries are up, I hope EES and ENA can get some sales out
of it.  More utilities have been approaching TNPC, EES and ENA about taking
over their merchant functions.  On the policy side, we are working the issue
on both a state and federal level.  Whether this country does anything
meaningful to deal with the current crisis comes donw to one person ... Linda
Breathitt.  Ken Lay spoke with Secy Richardson and Sen Schumer about
proposing rulemaking initiatives to FERC.  We are working the RTO process
hard elsewhere in the country and coming up with messages to arm our
remaining allies around the country.   THis is the biggest time for us on
this issue since the very beginnings in California and New Hampshire.  In the
current panic, however, we will be decimated if we are associated only with a
move to keep price caps from going into effect (I saw your message to Mona).
I am going to read the comments next, but I start off thinking we need to
avoid running headlong into the price cap movement; we may be better off
trying to co-opt the movement to get broader reform.

Hang in there.

Subject: CA Price caps

I heard you've been raising a ruckus about our activities on the price caps
-- asking us to do more.  Thanks.  I feel as if I have been a voice in the
wilderness for the past six months when I was trying to get people to pay
attention to the bad things happening in CA and warning that the problems
(mainly a threat of reregulation) will spread elsewhere.


Rick,

Olivier's request for clarification is consistent with what we have discussed in the past (although constrained, but pre-approved, limits for "yellow" countries [shown in black in the attached] probably make sense), but I want to ensure that you continue to concur with this approach based upon our most recent list of green/yellow/red countries.  Please let me know if you have any comments regarding this issue.

Regards,

Dave

David, Ted:

As you are aware, we are increasingly being asked by traders/originators to clarify our views on doing business in sub-investment grade countries.  Recent quieries have focused particularly on power deals in the Balkans (Bosnia, Macedonia, etc.) and metal deals in countries ranging from Uzbekistan to Vietnam.  In order to give them the kind of guidelines they need, I would like to be able to use the recently prepared table of conforming/not recommended/non conforming countries. My proposal would be to essentially tell them that:

(1) No business can be done in a non-conforming country unless explicitly authorized by the ENE Office of the Chairman.

(2) No business can be done in a not-recommended country unless explicitly authorized by RAC.

(3) Both authorizations should be based on:

	(i) a country assessment by RAC and other relevant teams (Legal for example);

	(ii) an explanation by the traders/originators of the strategic importance of doing business there and of their future plans (expected type of business and
	 volume); and

	(iii) a list of requirements prepared by RAC setting out:

	- the type of business that we think we could do in that country;
	- the extent of due diligence required before closing deals (background checks, legal opinion, etc.);
	- the required mitigants (insurance, etc.); and, possibly
	- a maximum aggregate exposure to the country.

(4) The country approval would obviously not replace the normal RAC requirements on specific deals.

I would be grateful if you could please let me have your comments on this.  If this is something you can live with, we will need to make sure that: (i) the list is finalized asap; (ii) we get a clear picture of what our current country exposure is (I have already asked metals to provide this to us); and (iii) we communicate all this to the teams.

Regards.

Olivier


Could each of you please advise your availability to Blanca Bollom for this

Rob
I just realized that Monday is a holiday for  us so we will not be able to
have our conference call then.

We have scheduled one between the lenders and Bob Shapiro for Tues. am.
(2/20).   I propose that we schedule one after that with you, KFW & OPIC at
10:00am Tuesday.    The timing of all of this subject to no conflict with
Frank's schedule, and he is out today.

Let me know if 10am on Tuesday works for you and your team.

Have a good weekend.

Phillip,
The Price Report file will display the information in the same columns as it
does on the site, so the format  should be the same.  I don't think it is a
problem to get it to the O:/ drive by 2:30.  The price reports will start
going to the folder on Monday, February 5.

To make things easier for now, is there a folder that you already have access
to on the O:/ drive that we can have this file sent to everyday?  Please let
me know when you get a chance, so we can get that folder name into the
scripts.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help.  This sounds like a good fit for us.  The only issues I
have or need addressed is for this file to have the same name and have the
curves in the same cells so that we can just link to the file in our curve
file.  The other concern is that the data be there by 2:30 p.m.
everyday(prices for the next gas day).  Thanks so much for your help.

In the first year of a regular two year session it would mean that they
would pick up where they left off.  However, because these bills were
introduced in the special session, they would need to start another special
session and do a rule waiver to reactivate those measures.  Even then, when
they closed the first special session and started the second special
session, bills which had already passed out of their house of origin had to
be reactivated on the floor of their house of origin. If the Governor
changes his mind and does not start another special session all of the bills
will be dead.
