Subject Re: Clarification on SIG

Carla -

The following is in response to your questions about the SIG:

The SIG note is somewhat ambiguous, but has to be because it captures primarily 2 different activities that are both categorized as 'Conversions as Specified'. CLECs submit these types of orders to do a lot of different things, but the 2 most common are to 1)convert an existing resale/retail line to UNE-P with changes, and 2) to request an additional line. Number 1 is easy enough - it follows the change order intervals (3 days in most states, 2 in CO & MN). Number 2 is the reason for the note. Occassionally, CLECs request that we add a new line on a Conversion as Specified order 9a 2nd line or something). The interval for this activity is the new install. If we have to dispatch the interval is determined by Appt Scheduler.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you

Subject Re: SIG Notes

Liz -

Attached are responses to questions regarding the SIG Updates.

1) Regardless of the number of Access Service Requests (ASRs) or Local Service Requests (LSRs) submitted, the quantity used for determining the appropriate standard interval will be the sum of the quantities of requests for like service at the same location requested for turn-up on the same day.

CLEC Comment: Per Qwest, this language is an attempt to restrict CLECs from "getting around" standard interval by breaking up orders on separate LSRs. NEED TO BE SPECIFIC...CLECs cannot bypass "project totals" by submitting separate LSRs that require provisioning at the same location. Specifically, Qwest cannot change standard interval unless multiple ASR/LSRs reflects the same customer name at the same location and requesting to provision the same products on the exact due date.

We will be removing the footnote on this eliminating the question.

2) The Application Date (APP) is the day Qwest receives a complete and accurate request. The Application Date is the start of the Firm Order Confirmation (FOC), installation and disconnection due date calculation.

CLEC Comment: Request language change..."The App Date is the start of any interval associated with an ASR/LSR." Customer's that request a Due Date change to an earlier date would utilize the normal Expedite channels.

CLEC Comment: Only if less than Standard Interval.

This is fine.

3) Change Due Date on order delayed due to facility reasons. / Change all Critical Dates from Records Issue Date (RID) forward. RID will be Request For Service (RFS)+1..

CLEC Comment: Language should not be included in this table...Qwest to provide justification.

Qwest Action Item: Link that defines "special conditioning" requested from CLECs.

This section was removed from the table.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you

Questions and Answers by Section

The meeting began by reviewing the LIS Trunking section. LIS Trunking - Wayne McCarthy with Qwest reviewed changes in this section which were made for clarity.

From: Carla Pardee at AT&T Sent: 1/28/03 2:52 p.m. To: ljsanch@qwest.com>, , Sorry I didn't get this out to all of you yesterday. AT&T requests clarification of the following, which is found on page 16 of the SIG. This information has been in the SIG for sometime, and is not part of the new changes to the SIG.

On UNE-P POTS Activity" Conversion As Specified Retail, Resale to UNE-P Pots to UNE-P, the installation guidelines state "Depends on changes requested. For instance, addition of another line would follow New Installs guidelines."

The statement "Depends on changes requested is somewhat ambiguous". Can you clarify what types of what types of changes are dependent, and what the dependency would be? Thank you.

Linda,

Please forgive me, I thought I sent this to you on the 15th. Here are the notes I took from the last SIG meeting.

Sorry again,

1) Regardless of the number of Access Service Requests (ASRs) or Local Service Requests (LSRs) submitted, the quantity used for determining the appropriate standard interval will be the sum of the quantities of requests for like service at the same location1 requested for turn-up on the same day.

2) The Application Date (APP) is the day Qwest receives a complete and accurate request. The Application Date is the start of the Firm Order Confirmation (FOC), installation and disconnection due date calculation.

CLEC Comment: Request language change..."The App Date is the start of any interval associated with an ASR/LSR." Customer's that request a Due Date change to an earlier date would utilize the normal Expedite channels.
