Roundtable Guide

Users and Roundtable attendees are encouraged to take their own notes on Roundtable discussions of
interest to them and are ultimately responsible for their own technical content takeaway information.

The Roundtable Vice Chair will generally be in charge of note generation, either personally or with
assistance from a volunteer Assistant. Questions generated within a Roundtable for the OEM will have
the OEM answer delivered to all attendees of the Roundtable either by the OEM at the Conference or
through the Roundtable Chair.

Roundtables focus on open sharing of operations, maintenance and technical support issues between
Users for the benefit of Users only. Information exchanged within the Roundtable is not for attribution
to a specific User as one User's problem often affects other Users.

Roundtable discussions are considered “Confidential” to Users and participants and may be used
within a Users company or organization but are not for dissemination beyond GTUI or the Users
company or organization. The Roundtable Chair will determine which, if any, notes would be helpful
to the OEM in resolving/addressing problems identified by the Roundtable. Generally, Roundtable
notes will not be forwarded to an OEM without editing by the Roundtable Chair and will only be
forwarded to the OEM by the OEM Liaison Officer of the Board of Directors.

Use of Roundtable information by attendees in their routine business duties is acceptable as long as
the source is protected and individual nature of the information is stated (i.e., the source of the data is
acknowledged as an individual not a “corporate” or “GTUI” position). GTUI does not condone or allow
the use of Roundtable data in commercial negotiations; OEM problem resolution or other commercial
forum—Roundtable data is solely to help Users operate and maintain their gas turbines more
effectively. Users must make their commercial decisions entirely on their own using data as they see
fit. The use of Roundtable material in “ambush negotiation” or “vendor bashing” is not condoned and
will be grounds for termination of an individual’s right to attend Roundtables and/or GTUI.

Distribution of Roundtable Notes will generally be made only to those attending the Roundtable or
otherwise at the discretion of the Roundtable Chair. As the GTUI moves to an Electronic Forum,
Roundtable notes will be available on the Internet for all registered Member attendees (with password
security) with the exception of OEM’s and their licensees, service shops, or affiliated organizations.
OEM’s will be specifically constrained from accessing other OEM’s information and question responses
in the GTUI Electronic Forum. Violations by an OEM will be grounds for sanction by the GTUI Board of
Directors up to and including expulsion.
