I have deliberately kept the attachments to a minimum but, can provide summaries of completed initiatives and references.

These are persons who can lay claim to possessing the experience of already having done similar work and can thus ensure [we hit] our hitting the ground running to advise the PX on what must be done to deliver success. Hemant Lall and Paul Gribik, the industry domain experts, have had extensive experience in both gas /electricity trading and market restructuring. Jack Calhoun, aside from his extensive reengineering expertise, is also one of PSC's lead designers in the creation of concepts guiding the development of digital trading markets. Susan Howard, in addition to having spent considerable time working with Swiss Bank and the financial services markets, was also a lead designer of PSC's concepts and architecture for our customer management strategic service offerings. This team's combination of energy and financial services market experience is unique. I'm faxing this document on to you for your review.
