1. 1 Retail Market Guide Management

2. 2 Retail Market Guide The Retail Market Guide is a reference document for market participants to use as a “roadmap” to locate information concerning market structure, market rules and market decisions that are necessary for participating in the competitive deregulated retail electric market in Texas.

3. 3 Retail Market Guide Per the change control log - RMS has reviewed the following number of changes this past year. Jan 04 RMS1 Feb 04 RMS1 Apr 04 RMS0 May 04 RMS2 Jun 04 RMS2 Jul 04 RMS4 Aug 04 RMS1 Total11

4. 4 Retail Market Guide Improvements in progress: Responsibility of maintaining the guides has officially transitioned to Market Rules as of Tuesday Aug. 3 rd. Goal will be to make RMG change process consistent with the change processes of the other "Guides." See, e.g., section 1 of the Operating Guides. Goal will be to have changes follow similar timeline of all other guide changes (monthly reports to TAC, instead of quarterly). Client Services is working with Market Rules to review transition and draft communication for the market. Update will be provided at RMS on August 12 th for the communication to the market.
