ISO tariff reference
The relevant sections discussing the ISO Department of Market Monitoring and Market Surveillance Committee can be found in Appendices O and P of the ISO Tariff.
The Department of Market Monitoring works closely with the ISO Market Surveillance Committee — an independent advisory group of industry experts that makes recommendations regarding the efficient operation of the markets to the ISO Board of Governors. To ensure independence, none of its members are affiliated with — or have any financial interest in — any market participant. Their charter allows them to suggest changes in rules and protocols or recommend sanctions or penalties directly to the Board.
