Description Of Change

Currently the web change notification form is sent in a format where the changes are highlighted with 'add' and 'delete' to identify changes being made to the document. It is very difficult to identify what is changing in the document using the current format. I have had repeated feedback from several Eschelon employees who are required to review these documents that they are not certain they have fully captured the changes taking place. Since most people are familiar with the Red Line format for understanding changes, Qwest should change to a Red Line format. The CLEC runs the risk of interpreting a change incorrectly that may impact the ability to do business or negatively impact a customer.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest will change to a Red Line format for Web Change Notification Forms.

Project Meetings

12/18/02 - December CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes Qwest-Blackmun explained we are able to update PCATs using Red Lined instead of Green Highlight for Level 1-4 changes. In addition, for Level 1 changes the Web Notification form would not be used any longer. Instead, the PCAT would be updated and posted to the Archive Document review site. World Com-Balvin asked if the History Log would still be referenced and the changed identified on that. Qwest advised yes. The vote process was then explained and conducted. The change passed by unanimous vote 7 ‘Yes’ and 0 ‘No’. White-Qwest proposed the change to the CMP Document be made in combination with the change from CR PC102502-1CM in a January 6, 2003, Level 1 notification. The attendees agreed.

12/10/02 - CLEC / Qwest Meeting to review trial results Held CLEC Meeting and shared Qwest's proposal for changes to the CMP process and described the new method to access Level 1 changes. Qwest agreed we can change to Red Line updates for Level 1-4 CRs. CLECs and Qwest agreed we would vote on the proposal at the December CMP Meeting. Qwest agreed to distribute a Vote Notification by 12/11/02.

11/20/02 - November CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes Qwest advised a trial is underway until November 27 to determine the impact to changing to Red Line format. Due to the trial Qwest is requesting the vote be delayed until after the trial is completed. Qwest explained if we are able to change to Red Lind format a change to the Web Notification process would also need to occur as the Microsoft Word program does not accommodate 'cut and paste' of Red Lined changes from one document to another. If the result of the trial allows Qwest to change to Red Lined format we will also present the suggested change to the Web Notification process. It is anticipated the change for Level 1 Web Notifications would be to post the description of the change and the PCAT document to the web site minus a comment cycle, instead of cutting and pasting the updated sections to the Web Notification form. Eschelon and other CLECs in attendance agreed to postpone the vote until after the trial. Qwest agreed they would offer 3 options for meetings to review the results of the trial. After the results are reviewed a meeting will be held to vote on this CR.

10/31/02 - CLEC Input Meeting held to discuss this CR. Scope was confirmed that this CR affects Web Notification forms and all Levels of PCATs. Green highlighted and Red lined documents were reviewed and compared. Discussion of concerns from CLECs and Qwest occurred. No feasible options were agreed upon during the meeting. Agreement was reached that Qwest would determine if we have any options to present. In addition, Qwest would issue the Vote Notification so a vote could take place at the November Monthly Product Process CMP meeting, if Qwest is not able to determine other acceptable options.

10/16/02 - October CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes Eschelon clarified the CR and reasons for submitting the CR. Qwest confirmed this CR will follow section 2.1 of the CMP process. Agreement was reached on the input approach. Qwest will propose multiple meeting dates. The agreed upon meeting will be held to gather additional data, understand the scope of the CR to make sure the CLEC community is aware of what will be voted on, and potentially identify new options for document updates. The CMP process identifies a vote would not occur earlier than the November meeting. Eschelon requested an example of both update methods (Green highlight and Red Lined) be shared in the meeting. Notification of meeting time options will be sent out via the Notification process.
