2. Accountability Principles
Transparency on transmission reliability matters
Existing and future facilities modeled in WECC planning cases will include Relays, RAS, Contingency Definitions, Node-Breaker Topology, and Sequence Components
Needed to evaluate existing and planned facilities
Assumptions can be made for future facilities
This data will be provided and maintained by the sanctionable entity; TO, TP, PC, TOP
Include the means to exchange this data between simulation programs

3. Distribution of MSRATF Areas
Potential (for discussion)
Coordination - JUG
Node–Breaker - SRWG
Sequence Components - SRWG
Contingency Definitions - SRWG
RAS – power flow - SRWG
RAS – transient stability - MVWG
Relays - JUG (or MVWG)

4. MSRATF Documents Where should MSRATF documents migrate?
Currently under: TSS > Documents > MSRATF Documents

5. MSRATF Documents
When MSRATF is dissolved, where should MSRATF documents be distributed?
Some have a cover sheet with a Custodian block
Examples are model specifications and white papers
The Custodian block designates TSS standing groups
TSS standing groups will continue development:
TSS, JUG, SRWG, MVWG

6. MSRATF Documents Potential Distribution Needs and Scope - JUG
Relays - MVWG
RAS – power flow - SRWG
RAS – transient stability - MVWG
Contingency Definitions - SRWG
Node–Breaker - SRWG
Sequence Components - SRWG
