Status History

Project Meetings

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was deployed on November 17, 2003 and is now in CLEC Test.

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is scheduled to deploy in the November 17th CEMR Release.

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Beth Foster/Qwest stated that CEMR CR’s, listed below, previously targeted for release in December, have moved up to a targeted date of November 17, 2003. SCR010203-01 CEMR Time to Reflect Either the Central, Mountain, or Pacific Time Zone (originated by Eschelon) SCR031203-03 CEMR Screen Updates (originated by Qwest) SCR031203-04 Simplify User Circuit Entry for Design Circuits in CEMR (originated by Qwest) SCR031203-05 Add Print Capability to CEMR (originated by Qwest) There were no questions or comments.

-- March 28, 2003 Email from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Peggy, You are busy also. I am sorry you had to do this on my behalf. It looks fine and thank you for your help! Bonnie Johnson Sr. Manager ILEC Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

March 27, 2003 Email sent to Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Hello Bonnie, At the March Systems CMP Meeting, I believe you agreed to revise SCR010203-01 (CEMR and MEDIACC Time to Reflect Either the Central, Mountain or Pacific Time Zone) to remove the references to MEDIACC. I know that you are very busy and have made a revision to the CR Title and Description for your review and approval. Please advise if you concur with the revision OR please submit your revision to the CR. As soon as I receive your ok or requested revision, I will make the appropriate changes to the actual document. The revised document that I am submitting to you here is a copy only and not the actual CR. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR is targeted for December 8, 2003 implementation. Lynn stated that the architecture work for CEMR will be brought to CMP via CRs in April and stated that those changes will need to be done prior to this CR being implemented. Lynn stated that within MEDIACC, the time is based on the 227/228 standard for EBTA, the app-to-app uses GMT and we would be violating that standard with this request for one time zone, Mountain Time. Lynn asked if we want to do this only for CEMR and leave MEDIACC alone or do we also want to do this for MEDIACC. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon does not use MEDIACC. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that Dan Busetti’s (Qwest) understanding of this request is that this change would only be for CEMR and asked Eschelon if they would revise the CR to reflect CEMR only. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would revise the CR for CEMR only. There were no further questions or comments.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon presented the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking to schedule this CR. Lynn stated that we need to time implementation correctly with expected platform software changes. Lynn stated that Qwest will provide targeted implementation dates as it is determined. There were no questions or comments.

Clarification Meeting - January 10, 2003

Introduction of Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Dan Busetti/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Cathy Garcia/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Justin Sewell/Qwest, Jean Novak/Qwest, Beth Foster/Qwest

Review Requested (Description of Change): Currently the time reflected in CEMR and MEDIACC is GMT. Eschelon requests the time reflected in CEMR and MEDIACC are the local time for the customer. A CLEC needs to calculate time intervals per time zone to determine real time as it relates to the customer. Expected Deliverable: Update CEMR and MEDIACC to reflect local customer time.

Confirmed Interface: CEMR Confirmed Products Impacted: All

Confirm Right Personnel Involved - All appropriate personnel participated in the clarification meeting.

Clarification Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Bonnie if she had anything to add regarding the CR description. Bonnie Johnson?Eschelon stated that she had no other comments regarding the CR description. Bonnie stated that she talked about this problem with Jean Novak (Qwest) and that she has also discussed with Dan Busetti (Qwest). Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she knows that this request is a challenge and if could get a time zone in this country, would be good. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked Bonnie where she was interested in seeing this change. Dan asked if was just for emails. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that on the ticket example that she provided to Qwest, when she was looking at the tome of clear, would like to have CEMR populate the local time zone. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked if wanted to see the time zone of the circuit. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that that would be optimum, but that one time zone, like IMA provides, would be helpful. That would make it easier to calculate if always knew that the time was CT would know to add or subtract an hour, depending on the customers location. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that he wasn't clear if Eschelon wanted the time to follow the circuit. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that ideally, follow the circuuit. Bonnie stated that she knows that this would be a challenge to provide due to back-end systems. Bonnie stated that if was always CT, it would be easier to calculate then GMT is to calculate. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked if Eschelon was asking to see just on emails. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there was information in CEMR with different times? Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that CEMR time uses the national standard. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked for clarity. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that the back-end systems present their systems time. Then when shows in MEDIACC, MEDIACC translates to GMT because that is the standard. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if they could get the time that the back-end systems have. Justin Sewell/Qwest stated that this would be very complex due to circuit information and the mapping that would have to be done. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest is taking real time, doesn’t Qwest have to map to mean time. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that is asking for the time to reflect the local circuit time. Bonnie stated that if this is too complex, she wants to reflect only 1 time zone, other than GMT. Either Eastern, Central, or Western time would be fine. There were no other questions or comments.

Establish Action Plan - Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon to present this change request in the February Systems CMP meeting.

RE: SCR010203-01 (CEMR and MEDIACC Time to Reflect Local Time)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR010203-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held January 10, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 600 to 700 hours for this CEMR Change Request. This Level of Effort is based on the solution to provide the reflected time in one time zone only. The time zone utilized will be MST/MDT. This solution was discussed with Eschelon and was agreed to be an acceptable solution to this Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR010203-01.

Sincerely, Qwest
