6. Sharing of Data.
As Working Groups 2 and 3 begin to develop new tariffs/programs, they will need to review, discuss and consider information from existing demand response efforts. The Commission expects that respondents will freely share data, including that related to costs, customer acceptance and load shifts, associated with these efforts with members of the working group and parties, subject to any necessary protections or nondisclosure agreements. Separate from the parties' discovery efforts, from time to time the ALJ may submit specific data requests ("ALJ Data Requests") to the respondents in order to obtain information needed by the commissioners and staff members supporting Working Group 1. As the proceeding progresses, if parties require the establishment of discovery timelines or assistance with the resolution of discovery disputes, they should inform the ALJ.
IT IS RULED that:
1. Parties who wish to address the issues outlined in this ruling and/or discussed during the August 26th working group meeting shall file and serve their written comments on or before September 12, 2002.
Dated September 5, 2002, at San Francisco, California.
