Status History

Project Meetings

March 22, 2004 Email Sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Carla, This CR was Denied back in December. I sent an email to you and to Donna Osborne-Miller with the Denial Response on December 10, 2003. Qwest then provided the Deial Response to the CLEC Community at the December 17th Systems CMP Meeting. I have attached a copy of the CR containing the Denial Response.

- March 22, 2004 Email Received from Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi again Peggy. I was looking over the list you forwarded earlier this morning, and did not see this request. I have been unable to get into the interactive CR site this morning. Do you know what the status of this is? I know I hadn't been attending the Systems meetings for a while - but I am concerned this one fell out of site somehow...maybe it was denied, and just didn't know. At any rate, could you check into this for me? Thank you.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR was denied. There were no comments or questions.

- Received Email from Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: they are going to do the barest of bare in the billing arena, aren't they.

-- December 10, 2003 Email Sent to Carla Pardee & Donna Osborne-Miller at AT&T: Hi Carla and Donna, I am attaching a copy of SCR102703-02 (Change Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO) which contains the Qwest response. This CR will be in the December Systems Distribution Package. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the CR Description and stated that based on the Clarification Call, there does not seem to be a lot of gray area for this request. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest does understand the request and that Qwest is still evaluating this CR. Lynn noted that it seems to be a very large change. This CR was moved to Evaluation Status.

- Clarification Meeting - October 30, 2003 ATTENDEES: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Cindy Bray/AT&T, Brenda Tibbets/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Carrie Stirman/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Alan Zimmerman/Qwest, Don Kerschner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the Description of the CR is: Qwest is currently sending its Category 11 DUF files under one RAO (Colorado) for all Category 11 activity throughout the 14-state Qwest territory. AT&T requests that Qwest send the Category 11 DUF files by the state specific RAO the activity reflects. Qwest has a list of state specific RAO’s, and AT&T believes that Qwest should be sending activity using the state specific RAO list. The current Qwest practice makes it very difficult to identify and process records from other states. Expected Deliverable: Qwest to send Category 11 files under the state specific RAO no later than January 2004. IMPACTED PRODUCTS: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked to confirm that this CR is for UNE-P. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that can also add Resale to the impacted products. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest agreed to make the addition of Resale onto the CR. IMPACTED INTERFACE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked to confirm that this is a CR for Billing. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated yes. DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if AT&T had anything else to add, to the CR description. AT&T had no additional information. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked what questions did Qwest have. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if this CR was related to DUF Packs, not files. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated yes. Don Kerschner/Qwest asked if this was appearing in all regions. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that Central appears with Colorado's RAO and Western with RAO 131, which is Oregon's. Carla stated that Eastern may be RAO for Nebraska. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that they are packed per region, not per state. Kerri Waldner/Qwest asked for the business problem that this creates for AT&T. Cindy Bray/AT&T stated that they need seperated by state to make it easier to process and bill usage. Cindy stated that it would also be easier for AT&T to determine which state a problem is occurring in, when there is a problem. Don Kerschner/Qwest asked if the need is for separate files by state. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that would be separate packs. AT&T stated yes, separate packs. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the CR information should be revised to indicate 'DUF Packs' in lieu of 'DUF Files'. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that yes, the CR should be revised. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would make the revisions to the CR. AT&T stated that this would then be similar to Category 10's. Brenda Tibbets/AT&T asked when this CR would be implemented. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest will now go back and determine what will be needed to make this change and stated that a status would be provided at the November Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy stated may not yet have an implementation date, but a status would be provided. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR will be presented, by AT&T, at the November Systems CMP Meeting. The call was concluded.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR102703-02, dated 10/27/03, titled: Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO.

CR Description: Qwest is currently sending its Category 11 DUF files under one RAO (Colorado) for all Category 11 activity throughout the 14-state Qwest territory. AT&T requests that Qwest send the Category 11 DUF packs by the state specific RAO the activity reflects. Qwest has a list of State Specific RAO’s, and AT&T believes that Qwest should be sending activity using the state specific RAO list. The current Qwest practice makes it very difficult to identify and process records from other states.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): Qwest to send Category 11 packs under the state specific RAO no later than January 2004.

History: A clarification meeting was held on October 30, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest stated that the RAO’s were packed per region, not per state. AT&T stated that they would like to have them separated by state in an effort to allow for easier processing and bill usage. Qwest asked if the CR should be revised to indicate ‘DUF Packs’ in lieu of ‘DUF Files’ since the request was essentially asking for separate packs and not separate files.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR102703-02, Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit. The requested change would require significant system costs and additional resources. Through Qwest’s analysis, it was determined that the information requested in this CR is already provided to the CLECs and can be customized by the CLEC based on their needs/requirements. The applicable TN is provided on each record of the Daily Usage File (DUF). The RAO can be derived using NPA-NXX of the TN. Therefore, all the information that is needed to identify and process records and to bill usage is currently available on the DUF file.

Qwest is denying your request for SCR102703-02, Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO, due to no reasonable demonstrable business benefit.

Sincerely,

Qwest
