- February 19, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Stephan, Thank you for the info. I will place SCR112003-02 in Pending Withdrawal Status for formal withdrawal at the March Systems CMP Meeting. CR's do need to be withdrawn at a CMP Meeting in order to provide another CLEC, or Qwest, the opportunity to pick-up sponsorship if they so choose.

Thanks again, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- February 19, 2004 Email Received from Cbeyond: Peggy, I spoke to my techies after today's call and they have now confirmed that the placement of the circuit id within the OCC section of Qwest's billing file was a mapping issue on our side, not Qwest's. They have this correction scheduled for their next release. I apologize for not getting this response prior to today's call.

That said, I'm open to withdrawing the CR. I'm not sure how the CLEC community would feel about this - so I'm not sure if we need to wait until the next CMP meeting or not. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks, Stephan

- February 11, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Good Afternoon Stephan, Have you had the opportunity to look at the file that I sent you the end of January? It was for SCR112003-02, not SCR112003-01. Does the data in the file satisfy Cbeyond that the circuit ID is sent correctly? I believe on one of the calls you indicated that Cbeyond would withdraw the CR if Qwest could show that the circuit ID is being sent correctly. Are you at the point to withdraw the SCR112003-02 (Identify CRIS sub-accounts by Circuit Number)? Please advise. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

January 29, 2004 Email sent to Stephan Calhoun, Cbeyond: Stephan, Attached is a file which is a snap shot of a sub account 3032206142330, under the master account 3031112649208. This file reflects how the circuit ID is sent via EDI. It does not appear that the circuit ID's are being truncated. Please let me know if you need additional information.

-- January 23, 2004 Qwest-Cbeyond Conference Call: ATTENDEES: Morgan Halliday-Cbeyond, Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Sue Kriebel-Qwest, Brenda Kerr-Qwest, Carrie Stirman-Qwest DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss the functionality that is still needed for this change request. Peggy stated that Cbeyond feels that some of the original functionality requested has been implemented. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond stated that the original request was for Cbeyond to provide examples, to Qwest, of what was needed for this request. Stephan stated that the original request was for the bill detail, Qwest would populate a cross-reference table on the front page of the bill with the circuit ID. Stephan stated that the bill detail, with charges, only has sub-account information without a circuit ID. Stephan stated that in December 2003, or sooner, he discovered that the circuit ID does now appear at the detail level. Stephan asked how it flows thru on the EDI bill. Stephan stated that what appears to be occurring on the EDI bill, on the monthly recurring charges or changes causing an OC&C, that there is something populated but it is not the circuit ID. Stephan stated that it could be part of a circuit ID, only some of the numbers. Stephan stated that for example, on a circuit ID of 29.HTFS.123456, what is being populated is the 123456 piece. Stephan stated that Cbeyond needs to know what populates on the EDI bill, the circuit ID field, on the OCC 811 records for EDI. Stephan stated that the MRC 811 is populated correctly and the OCC 811 is populated but that it does not match. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked if they are seeing this in all 3 regions. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond stated that they do business only in the state of Colorado, Central region. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked to confirm that the circuit ID is being truncated to 6 character/numbers. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest would validate that. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond stated that he did not know if what they are seeing is due to a load error on the Cbeyond side and stated that if Qwest can show that is a full circuit ID, they would change their loader. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked Cbeyond for a summary account number, to validate. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond provided the summary account number of their live account. Carrie Stirman-Qwest asked to confirm that the paper bill is okay, it is the EDI bill that is not. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond confirmed that Carrie’s statement was correct and stated that the circuit ID being populated is in the header of the bill, not in the bill detail of the sub-account. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest understands what needs to be validated Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond requested that the findings include a snapshot of the sub-account with the OCC activity showing the populated field.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Cbeyond has requested an additional Clarification Call in order to discuss functionality they believe has already been implemented and discuss what is left to do for this CR. Peggy stated that the call is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning. This Action Item is closed. The CR remains open.

-- January 19, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Good Morning Morgan, I have scheduled a follow-up Clarification Call, per your request, to discuss your CR to Identify CRIS Sub-Accounts by Circuit Number. In our conversation last week, you stated that part of your request has been implemented and you would like to discuss what work is left to be done for this CR. Part of the discussion will also be to determine if the CR should be revised or if it makes better sense to withdraw and resubmit. The call details are: DATE: Friday, January 23, 2004 TIME: 8:00 a.m. MT CALL IN#: 1-877-564-8688 CONFERENCE ID: 8571927 Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- January 16, 2004: Morgan Halliday requested that an additional Clarification Call be scheduled in order to discuss this CR. Morgan stated that he believes that Qwest has partially implemented this request, making the requested examples obsolete. Cbeyond has asked for this call to discuss what is now needed on this CR. Part of the call will be to determine if this CR should be revised or if a withdrawal and submission of a new CR is warranted. Morgan requested that the call be scheduled for mid next-week, or later.

-- January 13, 2004 Email Sent to Morgan halliday, Cbeyond: Good Afternoon Morgan, Will you provide me with a status to the below emailed request, sent December 30th? The CR is in evaluation status and Qwest would like the examples in order to investigate and determine what is needed in order to proceed. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com

December 30, 2003 Email Sent to Morgan Halliday-Cbeyond: Good Morning Morgan, This email is in regard to your submitted CMP CR, SCR112003-02 Identify CRIS sub-accounts by circuit number. During the clarification call, held on December 4th, Cbeyond agreed to provide Qwest with some examples. I have not yet received them. If you have sent them could you please resend them to me? I don't know what happened. If you have not yet sent them, can you please send them ASAP. We would like to look at those examples, do some research, and determine what the next step should be. I appreciate it. I will give you my email address and fax number, either will work. If you choose to fax the examples, please let me know so I can go retrieve them. Attached is a current copy of your CR. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com 303.382.5761 (work) 303.896.2484 (fax)

CenturyLink Response

RE: SCR112003-02 (Identify CRIS sub-accounts by circuit number)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR112003-02. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification Meeting (held December 4, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the January Systems CMP Meeting.

At the December Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Sincerely, Qwest
