1/21/03 Response to action item

SCR042903-02 It was Qwest’s expectation that this CR was asking for automation of the DLS and Narrowband ISP Billing USOC’s or Accounts with DVDP and certain address fields and name matching criteria. From Qwest’s perspective, the Qwest systems have always been able to handle the address fields and name matching criteria piece of this request with minimal manual intervention.

Qwest believes that the DLS and Narrowband ISP Billing USOC’s or Accounts with DVDP functionally was implemented in backend systems which were enhanced to improve flow-through in June of 2003. While the CLECs will not be receiving a reject from the BPL, CLECs orders are not falling to manual handling since the enhanced backend systems are flowing-through these particular LSRs.

While there will always be the potential for LSRs to fall to manual handling, the manual processes have been updated to ensure that the manual processes mirror those of the automated flow. Through Qwest’s research we have been unable to identify any additional functionality that would be required for this MCI enhancement.

5/8/03 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Liz Balvin - MCI, Doug Lacy - MCI, Pat Gurnsey- MCI, Michelle Thacker - Qwest, Shon Higer - Qwest, Cindy Schwartz - Qwest, Suzie Enney - Qwest, Conrad Evans - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest, Denise Martinez - Qwest

Review Description of Change This Change Request is proposing that certain manual edits in Qwest’s current UNEP provisioning processing be moved to the BPL edits. MCI believes this would be more accurate and less dependent on manual review and possible error. MCI currently observes manual review of LSRs that have DSL and Narrowband ISP Billing USOCs on the Account, certain Address Fields and Name Matching criteria. It is proposed that those manual edits and processes (Currently the ISC removes Narrowband USOCs) be automated, minimizing errors and hopefully maximizing ‘flow thru’. If this CR is accepted, it is proposed that the manual review process be reviewed with the CLEC community to make sure all manual issues are addressed for the community as a whole. Cindy Schwartz/Qwest clarifiied that MCI wants the BPL edit upfront instead of on the backend edits and provided the example of the DVD FID. She also asked if MCI was referring to volume ISP arrangements. MCI said yes.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted The Interface impacted is IMA Common and the products are Unbundled Loop, Resale, UNE, UNE-P.

Identify/Confirm CLEC's Expectation MCI is requestiing that certain manual edits in Qwest’s current UNEP provisioning processing be moved to the BPL edits.
