MEETING MINUTES

The meeting began with Qwest making introductions and welcoming all attendees.

Linda Sanchez-Steinke with Qwest explained that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss Qwest initiated CRs PC080503-1CM and PC080503-2CM.

PC080503-1CM Laurel Nolan with Qwest said that at the August CMP we discussed the changes to the CMP document. These changes would make the systems CR process similar to the process followed for Product/Process change requests. Laurel explained the changes; Change Requests submitted 14 days prior to that month’s CMP meeting would be presented by the originator. This would allow discussion to take place, additional products to be added, prior to Qwest providing the LOE. Laurel explained that the CR would complete the review and LOE process prior to the prioritization review meeting with the CLEC community. With these changes, Qwest would not have to re-LOE the CRs right before prioritization and would provide a more effective management of the prioritization process. This change would allow for a full investigation of the CR, a solution created, and reviewed at the next month’s CMP meeting.

PC080503-2CM Jim Maher with Qwest explained that the purpose of the change to Section 10.4 was being proposed to allow any party the opportunity to submit SCRP requests as needed without the 5 calendar day after prioritization requirement. Jim pointed out that this would also include not having to follow the late adder process since any party willing to fund the development of the CR should not be required to have the CR go through the late adder prioritization if they are going to pay for the development of that CR.

Jim suggested that the vote be taken at the next CMP meeting. Linda asked if there were any questions. No questions were asked.

08/20/03 - August CMP Meeting Laurel Nolan with Qwest presented this CR to change Section 10.4, which currently implies that a CR would go through the prioritization process or Late Adder process prior to invoking the SCRP. Laurel stated that Qwest discovered these discrepancies when invoking the SCRP. She stated that the language needed to be clear that SCRP could be invoked at any time and that a CR did not have to go through the Prioritization or Late Adder processes. There will be an Ad Hoc meeting scheduled to gather input to this CR.
