-- February 7, 2005 Email Sent to Eschelon: Kathy, Thank you for the email. Is Eschelon okay with the CR closing?

- February 7, 2005 Email Received from Eschelon: Peggy, Per Rajesh, the examples I sent are not part of the change Qwest made when completing SCR110802-02. I checked each of our Mn BANs and I did find one that had a real adjustment and it is giving the detail promised. I apologize for the extra work I put Qwest through. Thanks Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst Eschelon Telecom Inc.

- February 3, 2005 Email Sent to Eschelon: Kathy, Thank you for the email. I will forward the information on to Qwest IT. We will investigate and see what is happening.

February 3, 2005 Email Received from Eschelon: Peggy, I called the Qwest Wholesale Help desk today and opened a ticket number 1528318. The issue is that none of the information that appears on our Washington BillMate Adjustment files appears on the Minnesota BillMate Adjustment files. I have attached a document with examples.Thanks Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst Eschelon Telecom Inc.

-- February 1, 2005 Email Sent to Eschelon: Kathy, We are not aware of any issues with the deployment in the Eastern region. This CR would have impacted ASCII, as one of the bill media that an adjustment would have appeared on, in all regions. The deployment was specifically to RSID/ZCID accounts, for recurring and non-recurring charges that were manually input by the ISC. Are there specific accounts where an adjustment should have appeared and is not, based on the mentioned criteria? Any information that you can give me will assist in the investigation into this issue. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed CMP CRPM

- January 31, 2005 Email Sent to Eschelon: Kathy and Bonnie, The questions that I came out of the meeting were what media was impacted and also that Eschelon believed that there was a problem with the deployment in the Eastern region. Qwest is not aware of any issues, and that is why I asked for the ticket number. I apologize if I misunderstood the question. In response to the question as to the impacted media, the October 22, 2004 Notice (SYST.10.22.04.F.02204.DecCRISRelTechSpecs), sent to the CLEC Community, indicates the summary of change as follows:

Summary of Change: SYST.09.03.04.F.02034.CRIOctRelFinalTechSpecs, Qwest detailed the following changes which were installed on October 18, 2004: For the UNE Pots and UNE Loop products, adjustment from and thru date information will be provided. This data will be provided on the Detail of Adjustments Record (10-20-05-01) in the "Adjustment From Date" and the "Adjustment Thru Date" fields. The audit number will be populated in the 10-20-05-00 record, when provided by the customer and the recurring/non-recurring indicator will be populated on the 10-20-05-01 record. On December 6, 2004, a second portion of functionality will be delivered that is related to CMP SCR110802-02. The summary is below: This portion of work addresses adjustments issued for recurring or non-recurring charges associated to a single USOC. The bill has been changed to provide the USOC and its description in the adjustment detail for both paper and electronic bill formats. Please let me know if there is a question regarding the Eastern region and its deployment. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Wholesale CMP

January 28, 2005 Email Received from Eschelon: Peggy, At the January CMP meeting I questioned Qwest as to whether ASCII BillMate was included in the changes made per the CR SCR110802-021G. The CR states for BOS formatted UNE accounts. What I took back from the meeting was that Qwest was going to check to see if ASCII was effected and if so what happened to the Eastern Region. Based on the fact that I do not know what the ASCII BillMate Adjustment file is supposed to look like and I am waiting for a reply from Qwest, I do not see the need to open a ticket. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst Eschelon Telecom Inc.

January 27, 2005 Email Sent to Eschelon: Good Afternoon, SCR110802-02IG Provide adjustment FROM and THRU dates for BOS formatted UNE accounts. At the January CMP Meeting Eschelon stated that it was not believed that the deployment of this CR was working in the Eastern region. Can you please advise me of the trouble ticket number that you received when you reported this issue? If you have not opened a ticket, can you please open one and then provide me with that number? We need the ticket number in order to investigate what the problems are that are associated to this deployment. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP

January 19, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if this request was deployed for ASCII Billmate. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it usually is for BOS BDT.

[Comment Received from Eschelon 1-28-25: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that it appears that in Central and Western the ASCII Adjustment file is working but not in Eastern region.] Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is usually made available to all media and stated that she would check into the problem in the Eastern region.
