OBJECTIVE OF WORKSHOP Recap prioritised service list B2B communications principles, factors and required end product Define procedure drafting: o Communication Requirements o Parties for communication o Routing or system requirements o Back-up to communication o B2B communication process map o Timing requirements o Allow parties to meet other regulatory requirements B2B Procedures simple communications to affect metering and market outcomes. Should be simple, efficient, reliable and easy to implement and promote innovation in advanced meter services. They do not impose barriers to entry or discriminate between parties. They do protect confidential information and ensure a uniform approach in all states. SLIDE 4

CYNEFIN FRAMEWORK IN CONTEXT Complex Complicated New Service where counterparty is new or unclear and the service is not yet fully defined Existing services where a change in role may be required OR New Service with existing counterparts Simple/Obvious Chaotic Current Services between two counterparties where procedures can remain Not applicable to B2B Procedures at this time SLIDE 6
PROCESS FOR GROUP DEVELOPMENT FOR EACH COMMINICATION/PROCEDURE AEMO to detail service/existing procedure description and communication process/parties and routing from existing material and group discussion Clarifying questions from the group Each participant provides a reaction to the proposal, except AEMO no discussion. AEMO to clarify or amend based on feedback Objections Do you see a reason why adopting this proposed communication procedure causes harm or moves us backward? Objection or No objection? Is the proposed procedure unnecessary or incomplete? known data is this likely to occur? If you objection is based on presently Will the proposal limit the effectiveness of one or more B2B parties/roles? If your objection is based on prediction is it safe to go with this drafting and revisit (adapt) Or no ? SLIDE 7
