"Electronic Signature" shall mean a digitized recording of the handwritten signature of the executing person, an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a Letter of Agency (LOA) and executed by a person with the intent to sign the LOA. A recording of oral assent is not an electronic signature.

"Encryption" shall mean to convert information (especially a message) from one system of communication into another in a manner that allows the information to later be converted back into its original form.

"Internet Enrollment" means any electronic record except a recording of an oral assent, of a customer's authorization to change electric service providers, which satisfies the disclosure requirements of the LOA prescribed in 815 ILCS 505/2EE

"Letter of Agency" or "LOA" shall mean the document described in Section 2EE of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act [ 815 ILCS 505/2EE ] and referenced in Section 16-115A of the Public Utilities Act [ 220 ILCS 5/16-115A ].

an Alternative Retail Electric Supplier (ARES) certified by the Illinois Commerce Commission pursuant to Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act [ 220 ILCS 5/16-115 ], meeting all obligations of an ARES pursuant to Section 16-115A of the Public Utilities Act [ 220 ILCS 5/16-115A ], and authorized to provide electric power and energy supply services in an Illinois electric utility's service territory; or

an Illinois electric utility as defined in Section 16-102 of the Public Utilities Act [ 220 ILCS 5/16-102 ] meeting all obligations provided in Sections 16-115A and 16-116 of the Public Utilities Act [ 220 ILCS 5/16-115A and 16 -116].
