Archived System CR SCR121003-01EX Detail

Expected Deliverable:

SUPP type 3 LSRs for products that are currently flow-through eligible will be added as a scenario for Flow Through if there has been no prior order issuance from previous versions on the PON being supplemented. All exclusions currently listed in the Ordering PCAT on the Qwest web site for those products will remain in affect as well. In other words, if no previous orders were issued on earlier versions of the LSR, then Qwest will treat the Supp Type 3 as a brand new LSR and attempt flow-through.

- November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR will deploy on 12/8/04. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the IMA 17.0 Packaging Status is located in Attachment M. Jill also said that the Release date for 17.0 was changed from April 25, 2005 to April 11, 2005. Liz Balvin/Covad stated that the LOE was reduced for this release and asked if Qwest would provide capacity in December of 2004. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide the capacity for 2005 in December of 2004. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if the 1400 to 1600 hours for SCR121003-01EX Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity scheduled in December were available. Liz said the hours should be available for 17.0 Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we were utilizing those hours this year. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that here understanding was that the hours were available for 17.0. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that we don’t know what the hours are for 2005 yet. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the available resources stayed at 20,000 hours for the year. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the 20,000 hours is an estimate for 17.0. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Qwest used to package to mid-range and that for 17.0 Qwest packaged at the high range. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that this is due to the uncertainty. Comment received from Eschelon 11/29/04 – and Qwest does not know the hours for 2005 right now. Liz Balvin/Covad asked why the IMA 17.0 production date was moved. John Gallegos/Qwest said that Qwest needed to sync up with other systems and for other technical reasons. John Berard/Covad asked if the date was moved because of the hours. John Gallegos/Qwest said no, it was not because of the hours. There were no questions or comments.

-- October 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this attachment is for an exception vote and noted that Eschelon requested information prior to the vote. Jill stated that this CR is a benefit to Qwest and for the CLECs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR is only for flow through. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that it will allow for more flow through and stated that there is a 40 - 45% incidence to attempt flow through. She further explained that it would allow LSRs that were rejected or had non-fatal errs that were re-submitted as a supplement type 3 to attempt flow-through if no service orders were attached. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if that was the percentage of original orders that should have flowed through. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the CR would be for any LSR, for the products that are currently flow through eligible. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if the LOE hours would then allow more in the 17.0 Release. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we are currently funded through 2004 and noted that we have the opportunity to use these hours to implement early, but it is still 17.0 hours for 2004 funding. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if hours were being taken out of 17.0. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the CR is out of 2004 hours for 17.0. Susie stated that there would be a new set of hours for 2005. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if Qwest was working down the list to accommodate another 1600 hours. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently working on funding for 2005. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the 1600 hours would not be taken out in 2005. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest is still determining the funding for 2005 and noted that it would not be known if another CR would make 17.0, until December. [Comment Received from Eschelon: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said then the hours in 17.0 that were slotted for this CR are now back in the 17.0 release. Qwest said yes. This is a rare case where the hours are available in the 2004 budget and not 2005.] Liz Balvin/Covad asked if this CR is helping Qwest. [Comment Received from Covad: Covad stated the CR will help Qwest because all supp 3 fall to manual handling.] Jill Martain/Qwest stated that it will help the CLECs as well. Jill Martain/Qwest turned the vote over to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote will be conducted to determine if the CR could be implemented this on December. Peggy stated that the quorum of 6 was achieved. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed what the vote of ‘Yes’ and the vote of ‘No’ would indicate. “A vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate a preference that Qwest implement SCR121003-01EX on December 18, 2004, prior to the implementation of the next IMA major release, IMA 17.0, for which it is currently prioritized.” “A vote of ‘No’ will indicate a preference that Qwest not implement SCR121003-01EX on December 18, 2004, prior to the implementation of the next IMA major release, IMA 17.0, for which it is currently prioritized.” Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if there were any question regarding the vote. There were no questions brought forward. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest conducted the vote, the vote results are: Comcast voted Yes, via email McLeodUSA voted Yes, via email Qwest voted Yes, via email RockyNet voted Yes, via email Covad voted Yes Eschelon voted Yes AT&T voted Yes MCI voted Yes Time Warner voted Yes VCI voted Yes Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Doug Andreen/Qwest if there were any additional emailed votes. There were none. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote was unanimous and the Exception CR was granted by a vote of 10 ‘Yes’ votes, 0 ‘No’ votes, and 0 ‘Abstain’ votes. Peggy stated that this CR would be implemented on December 18th. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote disposition notice would be sent no later than close of business on October 27th.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Jill Martain/Qwest reviewed the CR and stated that this was a high priority for Qwest.

- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the Revised 16.0 Prioritization List is provided due to the Late Adder CR, which was ranked at number 14. There were no questions or comments.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would like SCR121003-01 (Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity) to be processed as a late adder to the IMA 16.0 release. Peggy stated that the vote to include this CR as a late adder would be conducted in this meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest to review the CR description again and to identify the importance of this candidate. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR was to allow SUPP type 3 activities to go full Flow through for products that are already Flow Through eligible. Jill stated that this functionality will result in more Flow through LSRs and will enable LSRs to process more quickly. Peggy Esquibel/Qwest stated that we achieved quorum with 5 CLECs and that we received two votes via e-mail. Peggy Esquibel/Qwest reviewed that a vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate that SCR0121003-01 is to be included in the IMA 16.0 Prioritization, utilizing the Late Adder Process. Peggy stated that a vote of ‘No’ will indicate that SCR121003-01 will not be included in the IMA 16.0 Prioritization as a Late Adder request. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if there were any questions regarding the Yes or No vote. There were no questions Peggy Esquibel-Reed asked if any more votes were received via e-mail and Doug Andreen/Qwest stated that none had been received. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked for everyone’s vote. MCI voted yes, via Email Qwest voted yes, via Email Eschelon voted yes US Link voted yes Allegiance voted yes AT&T voted yes Comcast voted yes Vartec voted yes Covad voted yes Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote was unanimous with 9 ‘Yes’ votes, 0 ‘No’ votes, 0 ‘Abstain’ votes.

John Berard/Covad asked when the ballot needed to be returned. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the CLECs will need to return the ballot no later than COB, Friday, February 27, 2004. There were no other questions or comments

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that mechanization already exists for Supp 1 & 2. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is a result of evaluating what was not flowing through. Connie stated that mechanizing Supp 3 would create the service order. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked if this would remove the requirement of putting ‘would be nice’ in remarks. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes, in specific cases. There were no additional questions or comments.

- CLARIFICATION MEETING - December 19, 2003 ATTENDEES: Ellen McArthur-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest REVIEWED CR DESCRIPTION: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest reviewed the CR description: To allow SUPP type 3 activities to go full Flow through for products that are already Flow through eligible. Expected Deliverable is SUPP type 3 LSRs for products that are currently flow-through eligible will be added as a scenario for Flow Through if there has been no prior order issuance from previous versions on the PON being supplemented. All exclusions currently listed in the Ordering PCAT on the Qwest web site for those products will remain in affect as well.

Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked Ellen McArthur (Qwest) if there was additional information to share. There was none. Ellen McArthur-Qwest asked if this CR was eligible for the IMA 16.0 prioritization. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the cutoff for inclusion in the 16.0 prioritization had passed and stated that the Late Adder Process would need to be invoked if the CR needed to be included in that ranking. Peggy explainind the Late Adder Process; 16.0 will be prioritized right after the January Systens CMP Meeting,the Late Adder process would need to be requested, this CR would then be an exception and a vote would be conducted on whether to be include as a Late Adder into the 16.0 prioritization CR. The vote would be taked at the February Systems CMP Meeting and if votes unanimously to include it in the ranking, the ranking would take place right after that February meeting. Ellen McArthur-Qwest stated that she would probably invoke the Late Adder Process. There were no additional questions or comments.

RE: SCR121003-01 Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR121003-01). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held December 19, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1400 to 1600 hours for this IMA Change Request. Impacts to SATE are 150 to 250 hours for this change request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request.

This Change Request is an eligible candidate for the IMA 17.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest
