Project Meetings

6/15/16 Product/Process CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR to revise the CMP CR form to replace CORA and EXACT with “Wholesale Access Ordering Interface” was unanimously voted on last month to allow the change. He said a Level 1 CMP notification would be sent soon.

5/18/16 Product/Process CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR was revised following the April monthly call to include the removal of EXACT along with CORA on the redlined CR form and to update the new CR systems entry to be specific to Access ordering, i.e., “Wholesale Access Ordering Interface”. A Vote notification was sent on May 11, 2016 along with a redlined CMP CR form with those updates and they are all included in the CMP package. Mark said a unanimous vote is required to update the CMP document.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink then reviewed the CMP Vote process as included in Section 17.0 of the CMP document which is available at http://www.centurylink.com/wholesale/cmp/index.html. The key points of the CMP voting process are: each entity is entitled to a single vote regardless of any affiliates and quorum must be established. Susan said quorum will be based on 62.5% of the average CLEC and CenturyLink entities in attendance at the last six monthly CMP meetings, November 2015 through April 2016. The average number of entities in attendance during this period was eight so the quorum for today’s vote meeting is five. Quorum was easily met since there are nine entities in attendance. Susan then reviewed what a vote of “Yes” and “No” meant as depicted on the voting Ballot in the CMP package and asked if there were any questions. The vote was then conducted and the results are listed in the table:

Voting Carrier Voting Participant VOTE Midcontinent Communications Emily Davis (by phone) YES AT&T Jacob Rubin (by phone) YES Granite Judi O’Day (by phone) YES Integra Kim Isaacs (by phone) YES Global Capacity Liz Tierney (by phone) YES LS Networks Valerie Starr (by phone) YES Custom Call Jay Bodapati (by phone) YES TW Cable Sultan Kahn (by phone) YES CenturyLink Mark Coyne (by phone) YES

The vote was unanimous to make the changes to the CMP CR form. Susan proposed that we make the update with a Level 1 CMP notice and said she did not think we needed to wait until the effective date of the Access System Consolidation which is August 1, 2016. She asked if there were any objections to that approach. There were none.

4/20/16 CMP ProdProc Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink presented the CR and advised callers that it is associated with the Access Service System Consolidation project. The CR is attached and includes a redlined CMP CR form for both EXACT and CORA to change systems names to a generic “Wholesale Ordering Interface.” He advised that the original CR only included CORA, but CenturyLink realized that EXACT should be removed as well. CenturyLink will revise the CR. The CMP vote to update the CMP document is proposed for the May meeting and a unanimous vote is required to proceed.

Kim Isaacs – Integra suggested that the replacement verbiage on the form be considered as “Wholesale Access Ordering Interface.”

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink stated that in light of forthcoming local service ordering changes, that would be included with the planned update to the CR.

Armando Fimbres – Oregon PUC asked for clarification regarding the voting process and asked if it would be a majority of those on the call at the time of the vote.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink clarified that a unanimous vote is required to update the CMP document as long as we have established quorum on the call.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink added that there is an email option as well if people cannot attend the monthly meeting in May. The meeting notice defines the way to vote via email.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink asked if there were any other questions. There were none.
