OASIS Colleagues,

Earlier today, I forwarded the attached document to a couple of NIST working groups, and wanted to provide it to you as well.

Some of you may already know that EPRI is involved in this study around the concept of a standardized connector, or interface, for residential appliances that would allow them to work in any utility demand response program using any communication technology. Simply said, the idea is to modularize things so that customer-installable communication modules can be plugged in to an appliance, with a single module working on all appliances and visa versa.

I thought this might serve as interesting food for thought in your discussions and would be very interested in your guidance and feedback.
