2. To provide an opportunity to review specific MT initiatives and the data/approach proposed to be used to develop savings, including but not limited to:
   1. Logic Models;
   2. Savings/unit;
   3. Total market unit data collection;
   4. Natural market baseline data and projections;
   5. Service territory accounting; and
   6. The duration of any MT savings credit.
3. To reach consensus on savings protocols for MT initiatives that may be included in the IL-TRM.
