Description Of Change

3. Request that CenturyLink provide an informed FOC and identify delivery intervals where a build is required within 9 business days for DS1, DS3, and OCn (Ethernet and fEmabarq/CT scheduled in later phase(s)) with details in the REMARKS field of the FOC. This goes along with using the Network Facility Requirement (NFR) field on the FOC. In addition, provide details in the REMARKS field for minor builds when the interval is longer than the standard interval. This will help Verizon set the appropriate interval expectation with our customer when a build is required by CenturyLink.

Mark asked if there were any objections. There were no objections.

August 15, 2012 Product/Process CMP Meeting Mark Coyne - CenturyLink relayed a level 3 initial notification was sent on 7/17/12 providing the change in process. The final notice and response to CLEC comments are due 8/16/12 with an effective date of 8/31/12.

July 18, 2012 Product/Process CMP Meeting Mark Coyne - CenturyLink recapped the Change Request and explained that it had been opened as a Systems Change Request but had been transferred to a Product/Process Cross-Over Change Request. A Level 3 Product Process notification was sent out on July 17, 2012 with an effective date of August 31, 2012.

Kim Isaacs – Integra stated that a download associated with the change was missing from the review site.

Chad Warner – Verizon asked about adding Ethernet at a later date and stated that it was not detailed in the products listed in the Change Request. He asked if it needed to be added to be considered.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink indicated that it was planned for a future roll out of this enhancement.

Chad Warner – Verizon pointed out that there was a list of products impacted and that Ethernet was not in the list.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink indicated that in the definition, Ethernet was identified.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink added that CenturyLink can revise the Change Request to include it and asked Chad if he felt documents on the review site should be updated. She added that the final notice could include information.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink stated that was true.

CenturyLink Response

CenturyLink DRAFT Response

June 13, 2012 Chad Warner, Verizon Tom Priday, Verizon

SUBJECT: CR # SCR050812-2 Informed Firm Order Commitment (FOC) with Detailed Build Interval Information in REMARKS

This letter is in response to Verizon’s Change Request (CR) SCR050812-2, Informed Firm Order Commitment (FOC) with Detailed Build Interval Information in REMARKS.

This CR requests that CenturyLink provide an informed FOC and identify delivery intervals where a build is required within nine business days for DS1, DS3, and OCn services and to provide the details in the REMARKS field of the FOC.

CenturyLink is accepting this CR and is currently working on developing the solution. CenturyLink believes this CR will not require a system solution from a CLEC perspective and would like to cross this CR over to a Product Process change request during the June CMP meeting. As such, this CR SCR050812-2 will be closed and CenturyLink will open CR PC050812-2X on Verizon’s behalf with a reference to the original system CR.

Based upon CenturyLink’s understanding of the scope of this CR, CenturyLink views the implementation of this CR as a Level 3, “change in process” and will follow that timeline to implement the solution. CenturyLink is considering a phased implementation for this change request with DS1, DS3, and OCn services provided in a Phase 1 roll-out with Metro Ethernet services roll-out during Phase 2 at a later date. CenturyLink proposes that Verizon modify their CR to include Metro Ethernet services.

CenturyLink will seek concurrence for this approach at the June Monthly Product & Process CMP meeting.

Sincerely, Susan Lorence CenturyLink CR Project Manager
