4. Future Options for Contract Ownership Peak WECC BAs

5. Considerations - Peak Peak currently holds the OATI contract Would require additional FTE for administrative support May become a contract service (like Hosted Advanced Applications) – Could include a Users Group

6. Considerations - WECC Funding would fall back into section 215 assessment base after 2015 (not a contract) FTE support and personnel would stay the same Does this tool make sense to be held by the RE? Are there concerns with the RE holding a compliance tool?

7. Considerations - BAs Control and ownership of the tool would be held by standard-applicable entities Need to develop contract structure with OATI Need to identify administrative support structure, including contract for administrative support – Third Party – A BA volunteer – Non-jurisdictional division of WECC
