TSRTF Recommendations for Committee Restructuring Task Force

FEBRUARY 22, 2018 TAC SUBCOMMITTEE RESTRUCTURING TASK FORCE (TSRTF) Jim Lee

COPS BACKGROUND COPS was created to focus on substantial and urgent market communication and settlement issues At this time, COPS has achieved a steady state concerning those issues COPS WG/TF can be managed by other subcommittees or designated as inactive 2

TSRTF RECOMMENDATIONSFOR COPS COPS should be designated an inactive subcommittee, which would protect access to historical information and permit reactivation if necessary Communications and Settlements WG (CSWG) moved to WMS, with meetings scheduled in coordination with Market Credit WG (similar to coordination of CMWG and QMWG) Profiling WG (PWG) moved to RMS and moved to inactive status Market Data WG changed to inactive status, with market data questions managed through RMS/ROS/WMS 3

COPS CHANGES On Feb 7th, COPS considered the TSRTF recommendations: Market Data WG (MDWG) COPS to make inactive Market Data Transparency SLA would move under TDTMS. Retail specific reports & extracts to move under TDTMS. Other market data questions/issues are to be managed through the respective subcommittee Profiling WG (PWG) RMS to inherit & make inactive Settlement Stability, Annual Validation, UFE, and Weather Sensitivity reports to move under RMS. Communications & Settlement WG (CSWG) COPS to make inactive Settlement discussion items & topics will move under WMS (whether standalone WG or combine with existing WMS WG is to be determined by WMS) Specialized market communication processes will be inherited by the respective subcommittees (Retail goes to RMS, Wholesale goes to WMS, etc.) 4

TRSTF RECOMMENDATIONSFOR RMS Advanced Metering WG (AMWG) moved to inactive status RMS to consider the frequency of meetings needed for Texas Data Transport & MarkeTrak Systems WG RMS to consider shifting MarkeTrak from TDTMS to TexasSET RMS to consider the frequency of meetings needed for TexasSET WG Consider whether Retail Market Training TF can move to inactive status when new/revised training modules are completed 5

RMS CHANGES On Feb 6th, RMS discussed the TSRTF recommendations: AMWG RMS voted to move AMWG to inactive AMWG reporting to move under PUCT Project #47472 SMT communications to move to RMS (or SMT) listserv TDTMS RMS recommends keeping MarkeTrak under TDTMS Would inherit Market Data Transparency SLA ownership from MDWG/COPS Would own retail specific report & extract issues previously considered at MDWG RMTTF RMS to sunset TF once training modules in queue are completed TX SET no changes, status quo RMS absorption of other COPS responsibilities: RMS to transfer Retail specific market communication processes from COPMG to RMG. (CSWG) RMS to inherit and de-activate the Profiling WG -- Settlement Stability, Annual Validation, UFE, and Weather Sensitivity reports reviewed by PWG would move under RMS. As a general practice each month, RMS Working Group leadership actively evaluates the next month s agenda to determine the need for full-day, half-day, joint meeting, or no meeting in order to maximize meeting efficiency. 6

NEXT STEPS If endorsed by TAC, TSRTF remaining work to be completed (not an all inclusive list): Redline RMS, COPS, WMS, and TAC procedures Redline respective OBDs for each impacted Subcommittee Evaluate need to modify Subcommittee voting structure(s) Subcommittees would be responsible for redlining WG/TF procedures Anticipated deliverable timeline: Feb TAC approval to begin RMS/COPS Restructuring process TSRTF to complete task list by March TAC (3/22) March TAC consideration of redlined documents April ERCOT BOD consideration of redlined TAC procedures 7
