Description Of Change

Where deployed within the Qwest network, microduct technology will be offered for lease. Microduct technology is an alternative solution to the current innerduct technology. Microduct is a smaller version of innerduct that must be placed inside an innerduct. Available duct capacity is increased since up to four microducts can be placed within a 1¼-inch innerduct.

Attendees Matt White – Qwest Jane Lacy – Qwest Shirley Tallman - Qwest Liz Balvin – MCI Stephanie Prull – McLeod Kim Isaacs – Eschelon Carla Pardee – AT&T

White-Qwest welcomed attendees, described the purpose of the meeting and asked Lacy-Qwest to describe the CR. Lacy-Qwest described the proposed change and asked if there were any questions or comments. Balvin-MCI asked what the purpose of an innerduct was. Tallman-Qwest stated that microduct is a smaller pathway to place facilities within. She explained that there is no difference in the fiber structure but that the cladding/protection around the fiber is different to allow it to be pulled into a smaller duct. Balvin-MCI asked if microduct had the same capabilities. Tallman-Qwest stated that it did, but that it gives more network flexibility. Lacy-Qwest stated that Qwest was looking to implement this change on July 18. Balvin-MCI asked if a contract amendment would be required. Lacy-Qwest stated that it would because of the terms and conditions that relate to this product. Pardee-AT&T asked if Qwest has proposed amendment language. Balvin-MCI stated that the CLECs needed this language as soon as possible. Lacy-Qwest stated that she would see if Qwest could get that language out prior to the launch of the product. There were no more questions.

========================================================== CMP Meeting 05-21-03

Lacy-Qwest presented the CR and suggested an input meeting on June 2 at 10 AM MT.
