  1. Standardizing the Guide Revision Request Processes ERCOT Market Rules TAC Subcommittee/Working Group Meetings ERCOT Public November 2016

  2. Summary of TAC Review – Annual Process • In an effort to improve TAC’s existing processes and organizational structure for the purpose of enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and aligning its structure to meet new goals and the ERCOT Board’s objectives, TAC annually reviews its existing structure and procedures. • TAC leadership hosted a meeting on August 25, 2016 to initiate the annual review and solicit input from stakeholders on the following items: • Alignment of TAC Goals and Approved Revision Requests with ERCOT Strategic Plan • Potential Revision Request Process Changes • Incorporation of Other Binding Documents into Protocols/Guides • Working Group and Task Force Review

  3. Potential Revision Request Process Changes • Issue – Non-voting bodies are expected to vote/form consensus on Revision Requests. • Resolution – Modify the Revision Request process so that Guide Revisions originate at the voting Subcommittee level. • Working groups will still review/provide feedback on the Revision Requests but voting would happen at the Subcommittee level. This is similar to the current RMGRR approval structure. • Issue – There are a number of NPRRs with accompanying Guide Revisions that carry the substance of the rule change. The NPRRs are approved at the ERCOT Board level however the Guide changes for the most part are approved at the TAC level. The ERCOT Board is not currently considering the accompanying Guide revisions regardless of where the substance lies. • Resolution – Both the NPRR and accompanying Guide Revision will require ERCOT Board approval. This resolution will eliminate the discrepancy in the timing of the approval process for associated revisions.
