CLEC Change Request Clarification Meeting

2:30 p.m. (MDT) / Friday October 3, 2003

1-877-572-8687 3393947# PC092503-1 Provide PREMIS zip code extensions delineate fields and exclude unnecessary information for the states of MT and WY as a means to obtain rate zone information

Name/Company: Liz Balvin, MCI Connie Winston, Qwest John Gallegos, Qwest Shon Higer, Qwest Jim Recker, Qwest Linda Sanchez-Steinke, Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of participants on the conference call was made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Linda read the description of change; MCI requests that Qwest populate the 4 digit zip codes extensions per address. In addition that the PREMIS data dump, located at the following URLs, be provided in a loadable format (delineated). The urls are listed in the body of the CR. There is information currently in the files that doesn’t seem relevant. MCI provides the following as examples and if Qwest determines the information is not relevant, then strip from the files prior to providing to CLECs in a delineated format. The examples are listed in the body of the CR.

Liz Balvin with MCI said that at Systems CMP meeting Connie Winston and she had discussed opening a systems change request. Connie explained that generally when putting information out on a URL that the CR would be considered Product/Process. Connie explained that the 4 digit zip code happens in the backend of the billing systems. Connie suggested that the postal zip code guide may have the information requested in this CR. Liz said that it had been determined there is no unique identification that would determine the rate zone. Connie said that the 4 digit zip code may not help determine the rate zone.

Connie said that it may be possible to delineate the PREMIS data. However, there is a risk for Qwest to determine if the information is or is not relevant because the CLECS may have a different perspective. The data in the SAG is simply a download of PREMIS. Liz said she was ok with that.

Shon Higer asked if what MCI is looking for is to drive or obtain the rate zone. Liz said yes, MCI has been told to do this through pre-order and they are actually trying to determine if they have a market entry in a particular area. Liz said that the 5 digit zip code wouldn’t give a breakdown as to rate zone, but hope that the 4 digit zip code would get to a higher summarization of data rather than getting to the unique addresses.

Connie said that the rate zone could cross the 9 digit zip code area. Shon said Rate zone information is loaded by individual address.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation Qwest provide 4 digit zip code extensions and a downloadable format (delineated) for Montana SAGA, Cheyenne & SW WY SAGA, and Casper & Northern WY SAGA

Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) Liz will present this CR at the October CMP Meeting. Qwest will provide a response at the November CMP meeting.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number PC092503-1, dated 09/25/03, titled: Provide PREMIS zip code extensions, delineate fields and exclude unnecessary information for the states of MT and WY as a means to obtain rate zone.

CR Description: MCI requests that Qwest populate the 4 digit zip codes extensions per address. In addition that the PREMIS data dump, located at the following URLs, be provided in a loadable format (delineated): ftp://199.168.32.150/incoming/ima/MTA.SAGA (Montana) ftp://199.168.32.150/incoming/ima/CHY.SAGA (Cheyenne and SW WY) ftp://199.168.32.150/incoming/ima/CPR.SAGA (Casper and Northern WY)

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): None

History: A clarification meeting was held on October 03, 2003 with MCI and Qwest representation. At this meeting, MCI stated that they would like to have the ability to determine if they have a market entry in a particular area. MCI went on to say that the 5 digit zip code doesn’t give a breakdown per rate zone, but feel that the 4 digit zip code would provide this type of data rather than receiving unique addresses. Qwest suggested that the postal zip code guide may have the information requested in this CR. MCI stated that it has been determined that there is no unique identification that would determine the rate zone. Qwest responded that the 4 digit zip code requested in this CR may not help either in determining the rate zone and that the rate zone information is loaded by individual addresses.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for PC092503-1, Provide PREMIS zip code extensions, delineate fields and exclude unnecessary information for the states of MT and WY as a means to obtain rate zone, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit. As previously stated, Qwest does not believe that the 4 digit zip code extension requested in this CR will meet MCI’s business need for obtaining the rate zone because the rate zone is distance based for both Montana and Wyoming and has no relation to the five or nine digit zip extension.

Qwest is denying your request for PC092503-1, Provide PREMIS zip code extensions, delineate fields and exclude unnecessary information for the states of MT and WY as a means to obtain rate zone, due to no reasonable demonstrable business benefit.

Sincerely,

Connie Winston Qwest

SUBJECT:CLEC Change Request Response - CR #PC092503-1 PREMIS Zip Code Extensions

This is a preliminary response regarding the MCI CR PC072203-1.

Qwest Information Technologies is currently working internally to identify if a solution or a different option to this request can be implemented. Because there are a number of complex issues associated with the CR, Qwest proposes moving this Change Request into Evaluation Status while Qwest prepares a complete answer to this request in the December meeting.

Qwest will provide a status update at the December CMP meeting.

Sincerely,

Connie Winston Director Information Technologies Qwest
