July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was implemented in 15.0 and would remain in CLEC Test. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if all of the UBL family was included. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes. The Action Item is Closed.

- June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated this CR will remain in CLEC Test for another month per the request of Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she had a walk-on item to discuss in the walk on portion of the meeting.

Emailed Walk-on Request and Discussion for June Systems CMP Meeting - Submitted by MCI: SCR042803-01 Confirm Product List 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

John Gallegos/Qwest asked where Liz (Balvin/MCI) obtained the product list. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it was from the PCAT and stated that her concern is with DS1 capable loop. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the list provided in response to the action item was the product list from IMA. John stated that he would compare the 2 lists and see if he could map the IMA List to the PCAT.

-- May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the possibility of establishing a new Status Code.

Connie Winston/Qwest said this CR impacted UBL Loop Products only. Liz Balvin/MCI said that this should reflect all Unbundled Products. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we will update the CR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that we need to be clear on all products and list all, i.e. DS1, DS3, 2-wire, 4-wire etc. This action item remains open. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR just deployed with the IMA 15.0 Release and will remain open for another month. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this is a slick process and asked if it is only for the products listed in the CR or if it is for all local products that can be ordered thru IMA. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she believes that it is for all local products but that she would validate that it is. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is deploying on April 19, 2004, in the IMA 15.0 Release. There were no questions or comments.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed the CR description. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that based on the Level of Effort, if there is a database available to access the data. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that if the NC/NCI Codes can be accessed via IMA, if it can be used for access orders as well. Liz asked if this is for all loops supported by Qwest. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the effort is for all loops from an LSR perspective. Liz Balvin/MCI stated - that’s great, as the tech pubs is a manual look up. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the folks that submit ASRs also need the information. Liz asked that if they could get access to IMA would they be able to get Loops. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked for clarification as to if what MCI wants is ASR’s for transport products. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he would check into that and asked Liz (Balvin) if she wants this for LIS Trunks. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she will verify if this would be for LIS Trunks. John Gallegos/Qwest requested that Liz (Balvin) send Qwest an email stating her request, so we know exactly what MCI is asking. Liz Balvin/MCI agreed to send the email and stated that she may need to submit a new CR to have it added for the ASR. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort provided is for this CR only and that it supports the effort described in this CR only. (LOE is 2125 to 3525 hours for this CR only) Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR will move to presented status and that Liz is due to provide Qwest with the email. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would send it. There were no additional questions or comments.
