Project Meetings

8/17/16 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this was the other CR of the two new System CRs presented by Electric Lightwave last month associated with the CLEC Badge Access Request process. Mark then reviewed the CenturyLink Draft Response that was sent on August 11, 2016 and said that based on further investigation by the CenturyLink SME team, CenturyLink accepts this CR and believes this CR should also be crossed over to Product Process. At this time, the proposed effective date would be early October 2016. Mark asked if Electric Lightwave was OK to Cross this CR over to Product Process.

Kim Isaacs - Electric Lightwave said historically, that has occurred with web functionality CRs but Electric Lightwave disagrees that web functionality is Product Process vs. Systems. Kim said that they agree to disagree on this but, with that noted, is OK to cross the CR over.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said based on that, the CR will be a Cross over CR next month.

Bonnie Johnson – MN Dept of Commerce asked why web functionality is being addressed by CenturyLink as Product Process. She said she agrees with Electric Lightwave that it has always been Systems.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said the reason is that a Systems CR has a longer implementation/notification cycle than a Product Process CR. Also, a system CR would require CenturyLink to use some of the allotted system hours for the year and that was not needed for this CR. Susan also referenced the existing Level 2 Product Process Change Category that CenturyLink felt best fit this type of change: • Changes to eliminate/replace existing Web functionality will be available for twenty-one (21) days until comments are addressed. (Either a demo or screen shot presentation will be available at the time of the notification for evaluation during the twenty-one (21) day cycle.) Susan said this type of web update is not like a web change to a GUI. She said that type of CR would have to remain a System CR and asked if that explanation helped.

Bonnie Johnson – MN Dept of Commerce said thank you.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink asked if there were any other comments and asked Kim if she wanted to keep the comment that they disagreed with this approach.

Kim Isaacs - Electric Lightwave said yes, she believes web functionality should be a system change.

7/20/16 System CMP Meeting Kim Isaacs – Integra said the current CLEC Badge Access Request Website only allows a search by Building ID and CLECs do not use Building ID. Kim said Integra is requesting a change to allow a search by CLLI code to make the process more efficient. Kim asked if there were any questions. There were none.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said the SME team is evaluating this CR and will provide a draft response for the August CMP monthly meeting.

07-18-16 Clarification Call meeting minutes SCR070816-1 and SCR070816-2 Attendees: Kim Isaacs – Integra Erin Taylor – Integra Bob Mohr – CenturyLink AnnMarie Cederberg – CenturyLink Neil Leguillow – CenturyLink Mark Rice – CenturyLink Rita Urevig – CenturyLink Ashwin Lunkad – CenturyLink Steve Stapp – CenturyLink Bert Bailey – CenturyLink Mark Coyne – CenturyLink John Hansen – CenturyLink Susan Lorence – CenturyLink

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink relayed the purpose of a Clarification call and reviewed a high level agenda for two Integra Change Requests.

NOTE: REFER TO SCR070816-1 FOR THOSE CLARIFICATION CALL MEETING MINUTES.

SCR070816-2 Add CLLI code (8 digit) option for Building Search to the CLEC Badge Access Request Website Kim Isaacs – Integra presented this CR to search by CLLI code in the CLEC Badge Access web site instead of by Building ID. Kim said the CLEC community does not use the CenturyLink Building ID but rather uses the CLLI which would be a more efficient way to make the request. Kim said either the same field could be used or a new field added.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said she is wondering whether this might also be a Product Process CR since it is a web tool functionality change but proposed that the CenturyLink SME team evaluate that as part of the overall consideration of the CR.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said OK.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink asked if there were any questions from the CenturyLink SME team on this CR or the previous one. There were none. Susan reviewed the next steps for these CRs which was to have Integra present both CRs in the Systems monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 20. It would be relayed that a Clarification call had already been held for both CRs and that the CRs are under evaluation by the CenturyLink SME team. Susan thanked everyone for attending.

The Clarification call ended at 11:50 AM MT.

CenturyLink Response

Kim Isaacs, Integra Laurie Roberson, Integra

SUBJECT: Integra System Change Request SCR070816-2, CenturyLink Response for Review

This letter is in response to Integra System Change Request SCR070816-2, entitled “Add CLLI code (8 digit) option for Building Search to the CLEC Badge Access Request Website”.

CR Description: Integra requests that CenturyLink add a CLLI code search option to the CLEC Badge Access Request website. Currently the system has an option to search by “Building ID”, however, the CLEC community does not use Building ID. In addition, CenturyLink bills charges associated with access badges using the CLLI code. The CLLI code is an industry standard code that the CLEC community uses to easily identify central offices. Adding this field would allow the CLEC to quickly identify the central office they need access to.

History and CenturyLink Response: This System CR was received on July 8, 2016 and was presented as a walk-on in the July 2016 Monthly Systems CMP meeting. A Clarification call was held on July 18, 2106 with Integra and CenturyLink representatives present. The CenturyLink SME team has reviewed the requirements to provide an eight character CLLI code search option for a Building Search to the CLEC Badge Access web tool. CenturyLink accepts this CR for implementation. Because this CR is more related to a modification to web functionality than a CenturyLink system application, CenturyLink is proposing that this CR be crossed over to a Product Process CR, PC070816-2X.

If agreeable to Integra, this CR will be reviewed as a Crossover CR during the August 2016 Product Process CMP meeting to implement enhanced web functionality to the CLEC Badge Access Request Website. At this time, the proposed effective date would be early October 2016.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorence CenturyLink Wholesale CR Project Manager
