Project Meetings

Dave Burley-Verizon Business said they are requesting that IMA v25 continue to be supported for an additional 30 calendar days (May 16, 2010). Verizon Business would like to upgrade from IMA v25 (our current OSS interface version) to IMA v27 in late April or early May 2010. There are requesting this so that it fits into their 2010 planning. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest conducted the vote for this request. A vote of 'Yes' will indicate a preference that IMA 25.0 continue to be supported for an additional 30 calendar days (From April 10, 2010 to May 16, 2010) A vote of 'No' will indicate a preference that IMA 25.0 NOT be extended an additional 30 calendar days (From April 10, 2010 to May 16, 2010) Section 16.4 of the CMP document, this vote will be held to a unanimous standard because the request seeks a change to the established CMP timelines for a Qwest originated systems timeline change. E-mail votes received: Integra, Comcast, Home Town Solutions, tw telecom, PAETEC – All voted Yes Velocity Telephone and Liberty Bell Telecom – Abstained Lynn asked if anyone else on the bridge wanted to cast their vote. Verizon Business – Yes Covad – Yes Qwest - No. Bonnie Johnson-Integra asked why Qwest voted No. Dawn Beck-Qwest said that due to resource constraints, Qwest can’t support the extension of IMA 25.0. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said as stated earlier, a unanimous vote was required, therefore, this request will not be granted. A vote disposition will be sent within 5 days. 11/24/09 Comments received from Jim Hickle, Velocity Telephone Inc. Please add the following comments to the meeting minutes for this CMP Vote and send to all participants: The result of this vote is the type of vote results that makes the entire CMP process look like a complete waste of time for all concerned. A true wholesale provider would have found a way to work with its wholesale customer rather than being the ONLY entity to vote no and responding with a short and non-responsive “due to resource restraints” as you did. A compromise by both parties would have been appropriate or at least a response that Verizon would have the option to provide reasonable compensation to Qwest for requesting the delay would have been more appropriate.
