Status History

Project Meetings

-- November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest asked if anyone had any questions or had an opportunity to test this CR. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if you need to have an amendment in place to access. John Gallegos/Qwest said yes and you need a questionnaire. John Gallegos/Qwest said that this CR will remain in CLEC Test for another month.

-- October 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was deployed with the IMA 16.0 Release and will remain in CLEC Test for validation.

-- September 16, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR will deploy prior to the next monthly CMP Meeting.

July 15, 2004 : The other products cannot be accommodated due to the need for additional tech support, which is outside the scope of the current batch cut requirements. DS0 digital capable loops like DSL, xDSL and ISDN, DS1 and DS3 products require additional testing in the Central Office, and DS1 and DS3 require additional wiring in the Central Office as well. Furthermore, conversions to these types of products typically require a change in facilities which also requires a dispatch out. However, in looking more closely at the issue, Qwest has determined that the following products do meet the criterion of not requiring additional tech support and will therefore be included in the scope: - Loop splitting (Product 24, Reqtype AB, TOS 2nd character of "N") - UBL Split (Product 41, Reqtype UB) - UBL Split w/ NP (Product 42, Reqtype DB)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - February 11, 2004 SCR012204-02RG - Web Based Status Tool

Qwest proposes to create a secure, CLEC-specific, mechanically updated, web-based reporting tool, which Qwest calls the Batch Status Tool ("BST"). The BST will allow each CLEC to review the status of their Batch Hot Cut orders when the orders are processed through the Service Order Processor into the Work Force Administrator ("WFA"). Qwest expects typical orders to appear on the BST approximately 2 days following order submission, and several days before the Due Date. Information provided on the BST will include: - Due Date - Customer Identification (ZCID) - State - Common Language Location Identifier (CLLI) - Complete with Related Order (CRO) field - Circuit Facilities Assignment (CFA) Location - Circuit Facilities Assignment (CFA) Number - Job Identifier - Circuit Layout Order (CLO) number - Purchase Order Number (PON) - Order Number - Telephone Number (TN) - Order status (Pending, Jeopardy (No Dial Tone, Customer Not Ready, Line in Use, Polarity Reversal), and Completed) - Completion Date/Time - Required Response Date/Time for Completed and Jeopardy orders - QCCC e-mail address for CLEC messages pertaining to Completed and Jeopardy orders.

Qwest proposes to provide the information listed above in a format that allows CLECs to sort the data and to download it into a Microsoft Excel file. CLECs will continue to receive the same IMA notifications (Firm Order Confirmations ("FOCs"), Service Order Completions ("SOCs"), etc.) for their BHC orders that they currently receive for their BHC orders today. However, IMA notifications are not sent until the order is completed within Qwest’s service order processor. WFA is the same system Qwest CO technicians receive their work assignments from and enter their work completion records into immediately following the lift and lay of the first order in the Batch and then again upon completion of the last order in the Batch (at a minimum, the 25th line). Qwest intends to design an application that queries WFA for all Batch Hot Cut status changes every 15 minutes. Once the application queries WFA, the pending, jeopardy and recently completed orders information will immediately post to the BST. Qwest proposes that the BST may also be designed to provide Commissions with a means of tracking CLEC conversion progress. Qwest originally intended to design the BST as a modification of the existing Customer Electronic Maintenance and Repair ("CEMR") system. However, based on multiple CLEC requests to implement this functionality through IMA, in the time following the last Batch Hot Cut workshop (January 8, 2004), Qwest has conducted further investigations and determined that it is technically feasible to implement the status tool through IMA. Qwest’s intent is to implement this tool through IMA.

1. Introductions Kyle Kirves began the meeting by taking attendance and announcing the meeting purpose. Kyle handed out agendas and copies of the candidate overview document that were distributed with the notification announcing the walkthrough (copies attached). Kyle explained that the walkthrough would cover the candidates, the candidate impacts to the associated documentation, and the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation overview.

2. Reviews SCR012204-01RG TRO BHC IMA changes and Appointment Scheduler Enhancements / SCR012204-02RG TRO - Batch Hot Cut Status Tool Russ Urevig reviewed the information provided in the candidate overview document circulated with the meeting agenda and the meeting notification announcement. Russ further noted that the BHC will allow scheduling of appointments. Kyle opened the floor to Questions. Stephanie Prull inquired as to the differnece between loop splitting type of TOS by rec type used for the loop type loop conversion. Russ Urevig explained that the BHC process will be looked at from a new option/install perspective. This is a new amendment to the ICA from the CLECs. Kyle asked about PCAT updates. Michael Johnson explained that a new PCAT for BHC has been written, including including information around BHC. The PCAT is linked from the provisioning and ordering PCATs. Vicki Dryden explained that the Unbundled Loop under ordering will incorporate a link to BHC. Stephanie Prull asked when the PCAT updates will be made? They will be available 10/17/04. Kyle asked about GUI documentation updates. Dave Schleicher stated that there will be updates to the Summary and Release Notes to the User Guide explaining BHC. The guide will include the changing guidelines to the new procedures, and will include screen shots, such as the Corporate User Profile and enable BHC check box. The session broke for ten minutes after this segment.

3. IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation Review Kyle conducted the review of the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation. The commentary and questions around this segment are captured in a separate document with the Qwest responses to CLEC comments submitted through the CMP site for the convenience of having it in one spot. Please refer to Systems Notification number SYST.09.03.04.F.02009.IMAEDI16.0FinalTech Specs for details on the location of that document.

- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Russ Urevig/Qwest stated that the requirements were reviewed to incorporate other products. Russ stated that more products would be accommodated. Russ stated that included would be Loop Splitting (Product 24), UBL Split (Product 41), and UBL Split with NP (Product 42). Russ stated that because products were certified on a facility perspective, DSL was previously certified, these can be included. Russ stated that other products such as DS1, DS3, OCN, and ISDN related, cannot be included. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that is for 2 and 4-wire analog only. Russ Urevig/Qwest responded yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was only for facilities that exist prior to migration. Russ Urevig/Qwest stated that those actively providing DSL service would be migrated. John Berard/Covad asked if UNE-P Line Splitting to Loop Splitting would be included. Russ Urevig/Qwest responded yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Batch Hot Cuts would only accommodate migrations. Russ Urevig/Qwest stated yes, and noted that new activity or facility adjustments would be excluded from BHC. John Berard/Covad asked which Release this CR was deploying with. Russ Urevig/Qwest stated 16.0. This Action Item wa Closed.

Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the 16.0 Commitment List is included, in Attachment M of the July Systems CMP Distribution Package. There were no comments or questions.

- June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Attachment M was the Revised Packaging for 16.0. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked what the revisions were. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the revision was to reflect the correct LOEs, in the proper positions, for the Regulatory CRs SCR012204-01RG and SCR012204-02RG. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the Escalation response was that this was the Packaging for 16.0. Liz asked if Qwest was continuing to look at the list in case problems occur and more room becomes available. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest does complete the definition phase in case more can be brought into the Release. Connie noted that Qwest does not hold out much hope that more can be added but Qwest does define the candidates. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that sometimes Qwest wonders if this is the right thing to do as it takes resources, but Qwest does define them.

Emailed Walk-on Request and Discussion for June Systems CMP Meeting - Submitted by MCI: Confirm Product List for SCR012204-01RG and SCR012204-02RG is : 2-Wire or 4-Wire Analog (Voice Grade) Loop, 2-Wire or 4-Wire Non-Loaded Loop, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Compatible Loop, Digital Service Level 1 (DS1) Capable Loop, Digital Service Level 3 (DS3) Capable Loop, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Capable Loop, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Channel Optical Carrier Level n (OCn) Capable Loop, Digital Subscriber Line-Integrated Services Digital Network (x-DSL-I) Capable Loop

Liz Balvin/MCI asked what products were implemented for the Regulatory CRs. Liz stated that she would like confirmation that the products listed above were included. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the Regulatory CRs were implemented for the products that were stated on the calls, which were 2-wire and 4-wire analog voice grade loop. Liz Balvin/MCI asked why, when the ordering forms did not change, just the NC/NCI combinations. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he would need to check with Russ Urevig (Qwest). Liz Balvin/MCI asked that if the LOE would not change, why does Qwest not do all products. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that there could be a specific reason and stated that he would check with Russ. John stated that the back-end systems have more complexity.

- May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: 6/1/04 Revision to Minutes from MCI - Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she needed to understand why the LOE on SCR012204-01RG TRO BHC IMA changes and Appointment Scheduler Enhancements increased by 7,000 hours. Liz said that she thought the original LOE was 1000 to 2,000 hours and that this CR NOW essentially knocks out three or four CRs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the LOE. Amanda Silva/VCI Company asked if the IMA 16.0 capacity was 30,000 hours and if there would be any more CRs included. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CRs listed on the IMA packaging list are the only CRs included in the IMA 16.0 Release.

SCR012204-02RG - Ad Hoc Meeting Minutes - May 6, 2004 Meeting Start Time: 12:00 p.m. MT

Purpose The purpose of the Ad Hoc Meeting was to communicate the requirements for the Batch Hot Cut Status Tool to the CLEC Community.

Attendees Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI, Liz Balvin-MCI, Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Jennifer Fisher-Qwest, Shonna Kramer-McLeod, Jackie Diebold-USLink, Jennifer Arnold-USLink, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Stephanie Prull-Eschelon, David Graham-McLeod, Dustin Bennett-McLeod, Emily Baird-Popp Telecom, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Gregg Wachter-Qwest, Deb Roth-Qwest, Jim Reardon-Qwest, Ben Rogers-Qwest, Russ Urevig-Qwest, Woldey Assefa-Qwest, Anders Ingemarson-Qwest, Bob Hercher-Qwest, Deb Smith-Qwest, Dennis Pappas-Qwest, Denny Graham-Qwest, Pete Budner-Qwest Meeting Minutes Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest reviewed the purpose of the meeting and stated that in previous meetings, Qwest agreed to meet with the CLEC community to talk about this CR and what path it was going down. Peggy stated that is the purpose of the meeting and is why Qwest asked, in the Notice, that you ask your technical staff to participate on the call.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that included with the Notice were 2 screen mock-ups. Peggy stated that the 2 screen mock-ups are the BHC Summary Screen and the BHC Detail Screen. Peggy stated that these screen shots would be part of the meeting discussion.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that overall Batch Hot Cut activity is a pre-order function. Russ stated that is for requesting scheduled appointments by C.O. into the Appointment Scheduler. Russ stated that the Appointment Scheduler would be set with minimum and maximum requirements, once they are agreed upon. Russ stated that if it were over extended, the CLEC would be notified.

Sherri Lichtenberg-MCI asked if this would be real-time.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that once the minimum 25-lines are accepted, the appointment scheduler will provide back a number that is utilized to populate the LSR, for Batch hot Cut requests. Russ stated that for the CHC Field there will be a new value of ‘B’. Russ stated that when the ‘B’ is selected, the BPL edits would require that certain fields be populated. Russ stated that the TEST Field would equal blank or ‘N’, APPCON will be the number that was provided back from the Appointment Scheduler. Russ stated that Qwest would validate that it is in line with the Due Date on the LSR. Russ stated that the EXP Field is to be blank, and DISPATCH is blank or ‘N’.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that 2 options are acceptable but that her preference would be for a single option.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that for the NC Field, the only conversion that will be allowed is LX - - . Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that when fields are selected, it would drive to a new 1CRWT installation USOC for use of Batch generically.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that in-scope for a conversion is from Resale UNE-P to UBL. Russ stated that there has to be a re-use of facilities and has to meet all criteria. Russ stated that the Activity Field would be V or Z. Russ stated that the Project ID Field was discussed in the forums and Qwest will not require this field to be populated. Russ stated that if the Project ID Field were populated, Qwest would apply a project ID that will include the ZCID of the CLEC that is making the request and will use ‘BHC’ as the last 3 characters of the PRN.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the PRN would be on the PSON.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that he would need to look at the PSON to see.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the PRN would be captured when it is requested.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked that when they receive the error message from the Appointment Scheduler that there is not enough slots for the request, if it will identify how many slots are available.

Anders Ingemarson-Qwest stated that the CLECs would see the number of lines that are available.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that in a C.O. there are 100 slots available for Batch Hot Cuts. Russ stated that if a CLEC asks for 25 slots and 50 have already been taken, then you would be able to have your requested 25. Russ stated that if you ask for 35 slots and 75 have already been taken, you would get a message that states that only 25 slots are still available.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked that if only 20 slots are remaining and available, will the CLECs be able to see the 20, even though the minimum is 25 so cannot get them.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that they would get a message that states that there is no availability. Russ stated that if CLEC-A had 25 and then wanted 20 more, CLEC-A would be able to get those additional 20.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that she heard that if a CLEC already had the minimum of 25 reserved that the same CLEC could then request an additional amount less than the minimum 25.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked what would be done with the extra 20 slots.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the number of reserved slots are looked at for load level scheduling and if there were only 80 slots reserved in a C.O., that group of techs could be freed-up to work on other cuts, in other C.O.’s.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the screens (mock-ups provided) would be accessed via IMA. Russ reviewed the BHC Summary Screen: -This is the first screen that will be displayed -The CLEC Field is to be populated with the CLECs ZCID -Select the date -Input the 8-character CLLI -The CLEC will then be able to pull all cuts for that given day. Russ stated that the *Last Event logged is dated and is identified if it is a New Event since the last time that the user displayed the screen.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if this was tracked by USERID.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked that if a CLEC had a variety of reps with their own USERIDs, is each rep only going to be able to look at their own work.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that he couldn’t answer as to how each CLEC would manage that on their own end.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if the display would be based on MCIs ZCIDs.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if the display would be based on ZCID or USERID.

Anders Ingemarson-Qwest stated that it is user based/user specific. Anders stated that the CLEC can depress the Refresh button or can choose to have the auto-refresh on. Anders stated that once a CLEC refreshes the screen, if the events have changed, they would be displayed.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if the CLEC would see updates even if the USERID were different.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that anyone who logs into IMA and uses the Batch Hot Cut Status Tool would be able to see the data. Russ stated that the data is not limited to 1-persons data.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that she does not want the data limited to a certain ID; she would like it by ZCID in order to be able to look at all the data for a ZCID.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that is how it is being done.

Stephanie Prull-Eschelon asked to confirm that a user could log into the Batch Hot Cut Status Tool and see Eschelon’s bucket.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Stephanie Prull-Eschelon asked that if she is on a screen and someone else refreshes their screen, would they see all the up-to-date data.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that there would be filters for the set-up of the auto-refresh. Russ stated that you will be able to set it up for a refresh every 15-minutes or you can hit the Refresh button.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the CLEC will be able to download into an EXCEL Spreadsheet and will be able to sort however you choose.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that on the Batch Hot Cut Status Summary Screen, of you want to look at the 12/19/2004 details, you would click on View Details and the screen will take you to the 2nd screen, the Batch Hot Hut Detail Screen.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that a mock-up of the Batch Hot Cut Detail Screen was sent to the CLECs with the notice and reviewed the screen: -*Event Time is the time stamp applied to the service order -TN is the telephone number that is being ported across, the TN that is being ANI’d. -OrderNo will be the internal order number of the ‘I’ action, for UBL -Status will be based on pre-wire functions or the status on the day of the cut, jeopardy or comp, for example. Russ stated that there may corrections needed to be made by the CLEC.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if the screen was interactive.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that it is not interactive and that there is no need for the CLEC to tell Qwest that it for the status from Qwest to the CLEC and Russ noted that it is up to the CLEC to get dial tone by the date of the cut, if that was the reason for the jeopardy.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that on the Batch Hot Cut Detail Screen, for the Event Time of 11:42, the *Req. Resp. by Field should show a 2-hour timeframe.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the data should be updated real-time, when a technician makes an update. Russ stated that the technician updates an internal screen that will feed the Batch Hot Cut screens. Russ stated that it is required that the technicians make updates upon completion. Russ stated that it is based on the CLEC filters, as to how often the data is refreshed.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if the technician updates after every batch or after each line.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that for pre-wire and dial tone checks, the technician would make updates as they complete the batches. Russ stated that the technician would do completions after each 25-lines.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked that as soon as the technician does the internal updates, if the information would go to the Batch Hot Cut Screen.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked to confirm that Qwest would not be pushing the data and that the CLEC will have to refresh; Qwest would not refresh for the CLEC.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that each CLEC can set their filter for an auto refresh every 15-minutes.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if the CLECs need to set a metric to make sure that the screens are refreshed, or will Qwest do that.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that this CRs effort is already in business and system requirements.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that she would take the metrics issue to another forum. Sherry stated that she does want a metric on this.

Russ Urevig-Qwest continued to review the Batch Hot Cut Detail Screen mock-up. Russ stated that the RO is the Related Order Field and noted that it could be a D or a C order.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that she assumes that the Related Orders need to complete in sequenced order.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked how is she to be sure that they are.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that when the 2-hour timeframe has expired, the jobs would complete. The N order of the Loop and the D order will complete upon Frame Due Time, just as it currently does. Russ stated that it is dependant on QCCC, as is the current procedure.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the CFA Field is to display a relationship in order for the CLECs to see if the jeopardy is for no dial tone, as an example.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the PON Field is the PON associated to the request.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the *Start Time Field is so that the CLEC can see that it has begun.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked that at 11:20 if she would see an 11:20 event.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated yes and noted that it could be the time when the status changes.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if there was going to be any archiving.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if the time was always MT.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that it is based upon MT and noted that the *Event Time tracked is based on MT.

Jim-McLeod asked if the Start Time is Lift & Lay.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

Jim-McLeod asked that for no dial tone jeopardies, how is the CLEC to validate with Qwest, that there is no dial tone and that the jeopardy is fixed. Jim asked to confirm that there was no way to verify that.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that was correct.

Shonna Kramer-McLeod asked what happens with multi TNs.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that if there is 1 PON with 10 TNs, the CLEC would see a service order for each TN and the related orders would all have the same order number.

Shonna Kramer-McLeod asked that if the CLEC is going to be able to click on the New Event column in order to sort it.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that is why the sort capability should be within the system.

Anders Ingemarson-Qwest stated that they would have the ability to sort within the screen.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the maximum lines would be 100.

Russ Urevig-Qwest asked if there were any other questions.

Jim-McLeod asked to confirm that on the Batch Hot Cut Status Screen, if the CLEC pulls up a CLLI, the screen would display by RSID and not by USERID, even if there were multiple people working the cuts.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that if all users log-on with the same RSID/ZCID and one of the users refreshes the screen, the person who performed the refresh would see the most current version. Russ stated that to see the most current data, the user would need to refresh the screen.

Gregg Wachter-Qwest stated that the filtering would be done based on the ZCID and not on the USERID.

Shonna Kramer-McLeod asked if the RSID was changeable or is it based on the RSID that was used to login with. Shonna stated that McLeod has 3 RSIDs and is asking if a user can put in any of the 3 RSIDs.

Anders Ingemarson-Qwest stated that the ZCID is captured by the USERID and a separate login would be needed for each one.

Russ Urevig-Qwest asked if there were any other questions.

There were no other questions brought forward.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that Anders Ingemarson-Qwest had additional information to share.

Anders Ingemarson-Qwest stated that Qwest would like to describe the solution to push transactions to the EDI CLECs.

Ben Rogers-Qwest stated that the normal core hours for IMA are Monday thru Friday, 6:00 a.m. to Midnight. Ben stated that Batch Hot Cut is outside of the normal IMA hours. Ben stated that the transactions would be between a window of 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Monday thru Friday. Ben stated that the transactions would be only outbound Batch Hot Cut transactions and would not include 911 transactions.

CLEC asked if 911’s would be sent during other hours.

Ben Rogers-Qwest responded yes.

Ben Rogers-Qwest stated that Batch Hot Cut transactions refer to outbound status transactions.

CLEC asked if these would be during the core hours. Qwest responded yes and noted that outside of core hours, the Batch Hot Cut status messages only. This would not include any other’s, such as 997’s, from Qwest.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the current process would continue; 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. will be outbound activity only, from Qwest to the CLECs.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked to confirm that anything in the queue would remain, as it currently does.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes and noted that the current functionality would remain.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked to confirm that throughout the core hours, Qwest would continue to update anything to do with Batch Hot Cuts. Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes.

CLEC asked if the response would be sent just like any other EDI response.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated yes and noted that the functionality would work the same throughout the day.

Anders Ingemarson-Qwest stated that the hours are: 3:00 a.m. to Midnight are the IMA core hours 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. are for Batch Hot Cuts only

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that any activity surrounding Batch Hot Cut would not be retrofitted to previous releases, it would not go backwards. Russ stated that this would be available with 16.0 going forward.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if Qwest is making the CLECs amend their contracts.

Dennis Pappas-Qwest stated not for the functionality, but that Batch Hot Cut would be available as a provisioning option.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked that if MCI wanted access to EDI, would MCI have to amend their Interconnection Agreement.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that MCI already had Batch Hot Cut in their contract.

Dennis Pappas-Qwest stated that the Status Tool is a new product and it carries it’s own rate.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if they need to agree to the functionality or to the rates.

Dennis Pappas-Qwest stated this is like any new product, with rates.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked if she could play in the tool without a signed amendment.

Russ Urevig-Qwest stated that the tool would be available with 16.0 and stated that the contract agreements are in regard to the pricing.

Shonna Kramer-McLeod asked if the Batch Hot Cuts need an Interconnection Agreement and a collocation agreement, since this is a new product. Shonna asked if they would have access to the tool if they had access to IMA.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that MCI currently has Coordinated Hot Cuts and Uncoordinated Hot Cuts, with and without tests. Sherry asked if MCI had to sign amendments for each of them.

Dennis Pappas-Qwest responded yes.

Woldey Assefa-Qwest stated that he would like to clarify that for EDI transactions; the system needs to be up in order for the CLEC to receive the transactions between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Shonna Kramer-McLeod asked that for the new field, they would need to be in 16.0 for EDI as well.

Russ Urevig-Qwest responded yes and noted that the new field is B.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI stated that MCI is requesting the Qwest requirements document.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that this discussion and all the information that was shared would be captured in meeting minutes, within the CR, SCR012201-02RG.

Sherry Lichtenberg-MCI asked how far Qwest was in the development effort.

John Gallegos-Qwest stated that the requirements phase has been completed and stated that packaging would occur in the normal CMP timeframe. John stated that Qwest would follow normal documentation procedures and noted that the CMP timeframes would be followed.

There were no additional questions or comments.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Russ Urevig/Qwest presented the CR and reviewed the information from the CR Description and the additional information from the Project Meetings Section of the CR. Russ stated that this CR is to meet Regulatory Requirements. Russ stated that all steps were followed for the Regulatory classification. Russ Urevig/Qwest stated that the impacted interface for this CR is IMA Common and is targeted for the IMA 16.0 Release. Russ stated that this CR was originally for CEMR but during the ad-hoc call the CLECs wanted the work effort to be in IMA, and Qwest agreed. Russ stated that this is a TRO requirement. Russ Urevig/Qwest confirmed with the attendees that these CRs would be treated as Regulatory. There was no objection. (3/2/04 Revision from Eschelon - Russ stated that the reason this was moved from CEMR to IMA was that in the Batch Hot Cut forum, CLECs requested this tool be in IMA. CLECs stated that they did not want CLEC personnel going to a different system than they used to track updates). Russ Urevig/Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments.
