Expected Deliverable

Project Meetings

July 16, 2003 CMP Meeting Minutes Cindy Macy – Qwest advised the CMP document was updated and published on July 7, 2003. This CR will move to CLEC Test. Conversation took place regarding making additional updates to this section of the CMP document to further clarify the intent. See AI052103-1 for more information.

June 18, 2003 CMP Meeting Minutes Cindy Macy – Qwest read the requested language change to the CMP document and explained what a vote of ‘yes’ and a vote of ‘no’ means. The quorum was 6 CLECs and the voting standard was unanimity. The quorum was established as there were 12 CLECs available to vote. The CLECs included Cox Communications, Eschelon, Tel West, US Link, McLeod, Covad, NcTelcom, North Star Access, AT&T, Allegiance, Qwest and MCI. A vote was taken on this CR and the vote passed with 12 ‘yes’ votes and 0 ‘no’ votes. Matt White-Qwest asked if it was okay to implement this change with a Level 1 Notification. The CLECs agreed. The language identified in the CR will be incorporated into CMP Process Section 5.1.4.

May 21, 2003 CMP Meeting Minutes Sharon Van Meter – ATT presented this CR and reviewed the Red lined changes. The CLECs do not believe they need an input meeting as they understand the request. The Vote for this CR will be scheduled during the June CMP meeting.

PC050505-5CM Allow originating CLEC to invite other CLECs to its Clarification Meeting for a system CR Attendees Sharon Van Meter – ATT Cindy Macy – Qwest

Meeting Agenda: 1.0 Introduction of Attendees Attendees introduced

2.0 Review Requested (Description of) Change ATT reviewed the CR. Sharon explained ATT wants to be able to invite other CLECs to Systems Clarification Meetings. ATT is hoping this will allow the CR to be resolved faster. Cindy – Qwest asked how would this make the CR be resolved faster. Sharon explained that the scope would get clarified earlier and Qwest would not have to wait until the Monthly CMP meeting to start working on the CR. I advised Sharon that the P/P side begins working on the CR as soon as the initial clarification meeting is held. Qwest does not wait until after the Monthly CMP Meeting. Sharon explained that this was talked about in Redesign and it got voted down as some CLECs thought it would be mandatory to invite other CLECs. This is not mandatory; it is options if the originating CLEC wants to invite others. Sharon explained she has talked to the other CLECs and she believes she has their support at this time. Cindy advised Sharon that we need to identify in the CMP Process the section to update and then redline it. Cindy agreed she would do that for Sharon and send it to Sharon. Cindy also suggested that we make the paragraph in P/P section 5.3 match the Systems section 5.1.4. This will involve adding 2 sentences to Section 5.1.4 to make it match Section 5.3. Sharon agreed and will review the red lined paragraph when Cindy sends it. (See Below).

The new Section 5.1.4 would read as below, with the changes identified in Red: Within eight (8) business days after receipt of a complete CR, the CRPM coordinates and holds a clarification meeting with the CR originator and Qwest’s SME(s). If the originator is not available within the above specified time frame, then the clarification meeting will be held at a mutually agreed upon time. Qwest may not provide a response to a CR until a clarification meeting has been held. The CR originator may invite representatives from other companies to participate on the clarification call. Such participation is not intended to replace the presentation of the CR at the Monthly CMP Meeting.

3.0 Confirm Areas & Products Impacted All CR Clarification Meetings

4.0 Confirm Right Personnel Involved Cindy advised she would check with the Systems CMP team to see if we are missing anything.

5.0 Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation Sharon would like the paragraph referenced in the redline document in the Systems section 5.1.4 to match the same paragraph in section 5.3.

6.0 Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests none

7.0 Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) ATT will present the CR at the May CMP Meeting Qwest will review the Vote process and set this CR up for a vote. Voting involves sending out a vote notification, offering 3 meetings times to hold the vote, establishing a quorum, ballot, unanimous vote, and vote disposition. This will be discussed at the May CMP meeting.
