At its April meeting, the Board decided that at its October meeting it would review the organization's  priorities based on an assessment of progress in securing funding for continuation/expansion of work on regional electricity issues and the level of interest of Board members and Governors in continuing its major focus on regional electricity issues.  The objective of this discussion is to establish priorities for the Board, including contingencies based on the availability of resources. This discussion includes two action items:  (1) review and approval of a Draft CREPC Work Plan; and (2) a decision whether to send to WGA an options paper and recommendation on establishment of a Regional Advisory Body under the reliability section of EPAct.
