smart grid standards house in order, with a mix of federal leadership and (hopefully) cooperation among the 50 state utility commissions and across our dozen or so regions.

· Stimulate active involvement of electric sector and government stakeholders and participants
· Provide a framework for collaboration among represented countries on a government-to-government, industry-to-industry and government-to-industry basis
· Identify and address infrastructure assurance priorities
· Align government and industry participant efforts to identify common initiatives and deliverables
· Share experience, information, solutions and other mutually identified resources
