MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: DAVID COOK

GENERAL COUNSEL DATE: June 17, 2009 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING Approve 2008 Audited Financial Statements ACTION DATE: COB, Friday, June 19, 2009 At the request of the Finance and Audit Committee, we are asking the Board of Trustees to take action in writing without a meeting to approve the 2008 audited financial statements. A resolution consenting to action without a meeting and approving the audited NERC 2008 financial statements is Attachment 1 to this memorandum. A copy of the audited 2008 financial statements is Attachment 2. Voting instructions are included later in this memorandum. On June 5, 2009, the Finance and Audit Committee reviewed and approved the audit report for the 2008 financial statements prepared by Mercadien, P.C., Certified Public Accountants, and recommended that the audited financial statements be approved by the board. VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: The NERC bylaws authorize the board to take action in writing without a meeting if the action is consented to by the same number of trustees as would be required to approve an action if all trustees were present and voting at a meeting, i.e., by majority vote. I will need a signed resolution from each trustee voting. You may either (1) paste your signature into the attached Word file, “Action w-o mtg approve 2008 audited financials 20090617”, save it, and return the executed resolution to me by attachment to an e-mail ([email protected]), or (2) you may print out, sign, and fax the signed resolution to my attention at (202) 393-3955 [NOTE: This is the fax number for the DC office, not the general NERC New Jersey fax number]. Simply responding to this email is not sufficient. I request that you return the signed resolution by COB Friday, June 19, 2009. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you for your prompt attention.
