Dear Chip,

Thanks for considering POIMS and communication metrics. I agree GWU must appeal to a wide audience. As well, however, as developed in the record of our discussion today, a vibrant community must seek out and support new ideas, especially in times of accelerated change. There is no benefit in teaching a wide audience solutions that no longer work. Attached is additional information on these points. I would be pleased to visit with you to show how the remarkable results reported by PG&E occurred, and would appeal to the wide audience GWU seeks. Thanks very much for further consideration.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY



Rod Welch
