The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is a non-profit
organization, with 700 voluntary utility members, managing a technical
research and development program for the electric utility industry to
improve power production, distribution and use. The electric power
industry is a major user of computing and communications and is fully
committed to open systems.  The question of the future of the Internet
protocol (IP) is an issue of national if not international concern. It
is critical to the building of a National Information Infrastructure,
comparable to the adoption of basic standards for the industrial era
such as railways, highways and electricity.
