Establishment of Decision-Making Framework. The Member hereby endorses and adopts CPCNH’s Data Security and Privacy Policy, Energy Portfolio Risk Management Policy, Retail Rates Policy, and Financial Reserves Policy (“Policies”), which, in conjunction with and pursuant to the Joint Powers Agreement, establishes an appropriate framework that balances the Member’s individual versus collective decision-making considerations regarding CPCNH’s provision of services under this Contract. Appendix A summarizes how the framework is intended to function during initial implementation of the Member’s CPA, specifically identifying which decisions will be made collectively, and where the Member may make or delegate certain key decisions, including regarding: (i) choice of whether to procure power initially on the Member’s behalf, (ii) choice of rate products offered to the Member’s customers, (iii) choice of collecting additional financial reserves for the Member’s sole use, and (iv) choice of termination of this Contract, before and after enrollment of the Member’s customers.
