Project Meetings

12/19/02- Systems CMP Meeting Terry Bahner-AT&T requested that this CR be withdrawn. CR statusedto pending withdrawal.

2/21/02 - Systems CMP Meeting Jonathon Spangler/AT&T presented this CR. He noted that AT&T is looking for implementation on this because it is very important to their business. Jonathon stated that there are 3 parts to this CR. Reservation, Cancellation and Loop '‘Make Up’. AT&T does recognize that Qwest has the capability for the Loop Make Up. This does seem to have functionality that AT&T is looking for. Jonathon explained why this change would be beneficial to all CLECs to have such standardization in place.

The level of effort is extra large (5501-8000) and will be on the ballot for prioritization. The status will be changed to presented.

Clarification Meeting was held on 2/12/02 Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller, Jonathan Spangler - AT&T Carol Zimmerman, Lane Jones, Julie Raible, Kevin Donofrio, Sunny Reimann

The purpose of this meeting was to clarify SCR013102-18, LSOG 6 Issue 2201: Add Reservation and Cancellation Transactions and Loop 'make up' by Facility Segment to the Pre-Order. AT&T expressed a concern that they have issued LSRs where the Loop looked 'clean" in the Raw Loop Data Tool and then placed an order. The order was rejected because the Loop has IDLC. Qwest requested AT&T provide examples. AT&T had a concern re: possible training and/or data integrity. Qwest will investigate examples to determine root cause. Carol and Lane provided an overview of the Raw Loop Data Tool and the Loop Qual Tool. Qwest also advised that there will be improvements effective with the 9.0 release. Jonathan indicated that he will be trained this week on the 9.0 release and will look at the improvement to the Loop Qual Tool. That might resolve the concerns raised in this CR re: Loop make up. Everyone on the call understood what AT&T is requesting with LSOG 6 issue 2201.

CenturyLink Response

The level of effort is extra large (5200 - 8700) and will be on the ballot for prioritization.

Project Meetings

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this CR was okay to close.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked for the deployment date for this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the deployment date is August 4, 2003. There were no additional questions or comments.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there are changes that are aligning with listings. Connie stated that it was discovered that there would also be a disclosure change. Connie stated that Qwest has contacted all of the FBDL user’s to communicate this due to the possible impact as most of you are going to 12.0. Connie noted that there is an open CR exception in order to allow Qwest to update disclosure for 12.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this change is for listings and is not an IMA change. It was stated that the pre-meeting for the exception CR is to be held on June 20, 2003. This action item was closed. There were no questions or additional comments for this Action Item.. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if a CLEC wants Qwest to respond via email, Qwest would need that email address. Connie noted that this is variable, is per LSR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the FOC would go to the originator only. Connie Winston/Qwest stated no, that the originator can put their own email address or if you want it to go to a company box you can provide that general email address. Connie again stated that this is per LSR. This action item was closed. There were no questions or additional comments for this Action Item.

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked for status of this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is June 2003. Jim Maher/Qwest stated that there might be some process changes so we need to make sure that the notification process timelines are followed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it has come up that EDI users may also want to use this and noted that Qwest is looking at that process. Connie stated that Qwest currently does not have the email addresses for the EDI users. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if they could provide multiple email addresses per company. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would check into that. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if the request is for multiple addresses for a user or multiple addresses for a company. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated by company; an email address for AT&T Consumer and an email address for AT&T Business. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she thought it was specific to the person submitting the request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would verify and provide a read-out at June CMP.

Ad-Hoc CLEC-Qwest Conference Call - April 9, 2003 SCR020602-1 Directory Listing FOCs via E-Mai SCR031102-1 Header Info on DL FOC Confirmation Reports.

Attendees: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Mark Early/Qwest, Lee Gomez/Qwest, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Jennifer Arnold/USLink, Ian Coleman/Allegiance, Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA, Christina Menk/USLink, Kathy/Advanced Telecom Group, Chad Warner/WorldCom, Sharon Van Meter/AT&T, Missy Wood/Comcast

SCR020602-1 Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss two CR’s submitted by AT&T: SCR020602-1 Directory Listing FOCs via E-Mail and SCR031102-1 Header Info on DL FOC Confirmation Reports. Peggy stated that these CR’s have been discussed in previous CMP Meetings, where it was stated that we needed to wait to implement these CR’s until DirB was deployed and stable. We are now at that point and wanted to meet with you to discuss the requirements and status of these CR’s. Peggy stated that Qwest needs to ask if the email functionality is still requested and if both CRs are needed. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that the email functionality is still needed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also stated that she would also like the email functionality. Bonnie asked if this were all or nothing. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that yes, once the email functionality was implemented, Qwest would no longer offer the option to fax. Lee stated that this would be similar to autofax where one email would be sent per company and would be based on the User Profiles. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked what would be on the subsequent confirmation/completion report, the name of the report and either initial or follow-up. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if things could be added? Sharon stated that she knows there are limits, like the name of the person it is going back to. Lee Gomez/Qwest asked to confirm that the CLECs would like the initiator name on the subject line. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that that would be great. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if they could tell Qwest what they wanted, then Qwest can tell us what you can do. Sharon stated wants 1 initiator name (1st initial and last name, not an email address), name of the report, initiator TN. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked that if there are 4 people sending in order’s, can’t have name, TN, and all order’s submitted yesterday? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that will need to be separate ID’s. Missy Wood/Comcast asked if they had a need for a special project, is it ok for a special email box? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated if can do via autofax currently, can do via email. CLEC asked if a column could be added to the report to include all the names. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the change to the confirmation/completion report would be a separate CR. CLECs stated that appreciate the great strides for email. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that she is disappointed that more cannot be done and that it took a year to get to this point. Lee Gomez/Qwest asked to confirm that the subject line would contain the name of the report and that would be sufficient for this CR? Sharon Van Meter/AT&T responded yes.

SCR031102-1 Discussion: Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the name of the report can be carried over on multiple pages. Lee asked if want report name and header information. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T read the CR description and stated that the header to say AT and have information. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated can do with this CR. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if can be sorted with all ACs appearing in one place. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the initial report is sorted AT, RF & AC, the subsequent report, follow-up to any AC, is sorted that way. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the report would be a Word or PDF document and would have a header on each page. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked for the products this is being done for. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated is for FBDL only. CLEC asked if this is based on 1 End User Profile and need to change all to have the same email address? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated yes and that internally will have information with valid email address associated to it. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked for special projects, can make an exception for a one-time-only thing? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated yes, we would work that out with you. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked how the CLEC would get the information if email goes down? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that this is one of the challenges; if there is 1 email address and it goes down, there is no recourse, that is where it is sent. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that AT&T would like to go forward with the email request CR and if they want to further split out, they will issue subsequent CR’s. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that SCR031102-1 can be put in Pending Withdraw and asked for the implementation date for the other CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it is not yet scheduled and that as soon as we have the targeted implementation date, we would bring it forward via an action item. There were no other questions or concerns. The call was concluded.

May 16, 2002 May Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Esther Scherer/AT&T stated that her service manager advised AT&T that this request and SCR031102-1 was not funded. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has not been denied funding but due to the development of DirB, it is very risky to implement any changes to LSS. Qwest is not opposed to doing this work, it just could impact the deployment date. Connie/Qwest stated that will have some discussions with the AT&T service manager, doesn't know where the 'not funded' came from as the CR's are in the funding process. Esther Scherer/AT&T asked if these changes could be made with the implementation of DirB. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that is resistent to that, due to the risk. Has not been rejected and that is why has not brought this up at CMP. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if was hearing that not doing in LSS anot doing in DirB for now? Connie Winston/Qwest responded for now. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if these were a big deal? Connie Winston/Qwest responded no, is purely the risk factor. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked what the timeframe was, after the release. Connie Winston/Qwest stated probably Late August or September. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if these requests will get done and won't come back as denied? Connie Winston/Qwest responded that they are still in the queue for the new system.

March 21, 2002 - Discussed at March CMP: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T spoke to this - what AT&T is asking for is for the DL FOCs that are currently delivered by fax, to be delivered by Email. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently reviewing what the process looks like. Michael Buck/Qwest noted that there is a level of effort included. Judy Schultz/Qwest - is AT&T asking for both, are there other CLEC who still want it by fax? Should it always be email? Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Stated that she wants the new CR SCR031102-1 to coincide with this CR. She stated that the fax is missing header information and this is not adequate. It is rather archaic and missing information. AT&T is not wanting fax anymore, Eschelon agreed, Allegiance agreed and Integra agreed. WorldCom wasn’t sure if they wanted fax any more. LeiLani Hines/WorldCom will check and get back to Peggy on this. Bonnie Jonhson/Eschelon noted that for GUI folks, they have to enter an email address, and that email address could be used to send the info to. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if this has to be prioritized because it is so small Michael Buck/Qwest - this is not an IMA impacting issue, no prioritization required Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest will start the work effort on this request. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if this impacted EDI users. Wendy Green noted that EDI responses are coming through the Gateway so this issue is moot for EDI users. Status changed to Presented.

February 21, 2002 - Discussed at February CMP: Majority of the Email addresses have been sent by Esther. Only need Denver address.

Clarification Meeting - February 14, 2002: Attendees: AT&T/Esther Scherer. Qwest/Peggy Esquibel-Reed, Gerald Mohatt, J. J. Bradley, Terri Kilker, Kathy Hill. Reviewed CR description. AT&T would like to start receiving FOCs via email in lieu of FAX. The emails that they receive today are from Kathy Miyake and is a manual process. The emails are for errors that Qwest needs to clear. The emails contain PONs, and columns for complete, reject pending, and reject reason. Emails will need to be sent to several locations, they will be generic email addresses, and will total about 6. Once AT&T migrates to a new system, the number of locations will be less, probably 3. Esther will advise when that occurs. Esther provided an example of an email that is received today. Esther will provide the generic email addresses to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest by February 20, 2002. AT&T also requested the reject code on the emails. AT&T is flexible on the email format, it does not have to look like the emails received today. Data in rows vs. columns is not an issue. Esther Scherer is the AT&T single point of contact. Esther’s telephone number is 303.298.6228 and her email address is escherer@att.com AT&T requests email no matter how Qwest gets the order, EDI, IMA GUI, or manually. Currently for EDI orders, AT&T receives FOC’s via EDI and FAX. Will need to continue getting the EDI FOCs and additionally needs to start getting the emails in lieu of the current Faxes. AT&T has no problem with the emails being sent at 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time, each business day. AT&T will continue to look for emailed information before calls for duplicates. The email addresses must be added to the User Profiles, Qwest will key off of that to send to the appropriate email address.

CenturyLink Response

April 5, 2002: Qwest will email the FOC back to the LSR orginator. The CLEC User Profiles must have an email address.

February 21, 2002: The Level of Effort for this request is Medium, 80 hours.

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest updates CSRs within 3 to 5 business days, however, at times it can take up to 30 days to update a CSR. CLECs cannot send change orders until the CSRs are updated. Consequently, AT&T respectfully requests that Qwest update its CSRs within 24 hours.

Project Meetings

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that a call was held with the CLEC Community where Qwest presented an augmented option 3. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that option 3 was unacceptable and is requesting the CR be denied. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that to some extent the new CR that Eschelon opened (requesting the new indicator), is aimed at addressing part of this problem. The augmented option 3 is a better solution that addresses even more circumstances. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon understands that but feels the LOE is going to take all of the release resources. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that was their main concern - its not that Eschelon does not appreciate other alternatives. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked how this would impact the 12.0 release. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Qwest understands their position. It is the CLECs call whether or not to prioritize the CR high. The CR could go on the ballot and get prioritized low without the need to deny the CR. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that AT&T wants the CR denied. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that what you asked for was a solution to the problem, and through dialog we have identified the problem and proposed various solutions to resolve the problem. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said the solution would not update the CSR in 24 hours. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said it is a different solution to the same business problem. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she understands what Qwest is saying and asked if this was discussed in Re-design. (When the actual request is denied, and the business problem has a resolution - is there a way to create a sub-CR) Michael Buck/Qwest said that the disagreement appears to be on what was asked for. Qwest’s view is that the problem was defined, the problem was identified, and solutions were provided. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said that all the detail clearly shows this, however, the initial request is still not being addressed. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that going forward it seems that the CR needs to be re-written if they were looking for a different problem to be addressed. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that the issue at hand is that prioritization is tomorrow and some of what was proposed might be acceptable to some of the CLECs. If this CR is denied, that opportunity will not be given to those CLECs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we have discussed this at length and all agreed that this would be voted fairly low. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that we struggled over whether Qwest has the ability to determine that Qwest can take away CLEC ability to have the power to prioritize a CR. A subset of CLECs are deciding to take the ability away from all CLECs. Mike Zulevic/Covad said that Qwest has come up with a solution that does not meet the specific requests of the CR. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said we have the process there as we see it, any CLEC could create another CR requesting what option 3 is proposing. But in this particular one, we have not addressed the need to update the CSR in 24 hours. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that we don’t lose anything in the process, AT&T just does not want to sponsor what has been provided as the solution. Qwest could always open a new CR and point to the work that has been done for this CR. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said Qwest will not open a CR for this functionality. The issue is whether to let CLECs vote on this CR the way it stands. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if—without impacting Jonathan’s CR, can we create a new CR in 10 minuets and get it on the ballot. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said that this CR should be denied. It won’t get on the list for prioritization and the CLECs can open a new CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she agrees and thinks the deny is appropriate, the response does not meet the request of the CLEC. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that Qwest recommends following the process of AT&T withdrawing the CR and someone else could opt to sponsor it. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said that the CR should be denied. Michael Zulevic/Covad said that he agrees and also agrees with Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon that someone else can add to the CR for prioritization. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that we’ll go ahead with the denial of the CR and could entertain a late adder CR. If the CR comes forward, it should ask for the augmented option 3. Qwest will not sponsor the CR; however, if a CLEC wants to sponsor we could invoke the late adder process. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that when a final response is written Qwest will note that AT&T suggested the CR should be denied. Qwest felt that the business need was addressed. However, because of AT&T’s request, the CR will be denied. Qwest will mention to the larger CLEC community that if anyone is interested in the augmented option 3 they can open another CR. The CLEC Community agreed. (This CR was removed from the 12.0 Ballot)

June 26, 2002 Conference Call With AT&T: AT&T Attendees: Jonathan Spangler, Tim Boykin, Carla Pardee Qwest Attendees: Jeff Thompson, Michael Buck, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Jonathan Spangler stated that he had discussions with his customer, AT&T Local Service Group, and gave them perspective on the Qwest options, specifically Option 3. It became clear that Option 3 was not a good option to move forward with as there are too many things not meeting the needs. Jonathan stated that he sent an email (June 25th) as a response. All on call indicated that they read the email. Jonathan requested that the email be included in the CR documentation. Jonathan asked if there was any other Qwest offer. Jeff Thompson stated that he is not understanding the request. He thought that Qwest was working with AT&T to get to a solution. Jeff asked Jonathan for clarification. Tim Boykin stated that Option 3 was going to take some time and asked for assurance that would get CSRs within 24 hours. Tim stated that he does not want Qwest to go through a lot of trouble and not meet the request. Jonathan stated that gets CSR’s 3 days after completion, could take up to 5 days. Tim asked what Option 3 will really do for AT&T. Jeff Thompson stated that Qwest’s position is that we will be meeting the request and asked AT&T for further explanation of their problem. Jonathan stated that the request is to accommodate a laundry list of problems that occur due to CSRs not updating within 24 hours. Jeff Thompson stated that he understands both the problems that AT&T is having and the submitted CR request. Jeff stated that the proposed solution is addressing the problem and now AT&T is stating that it doesn’t. Jonathan Spangler explained a pre-order / pending order scenario. Jeff Thompson stated that he understands the pending order problem and has some thoughts on how to solve that. Jeff asked AT&T what other problems they were having. Jonathan stated that other CLECs have other issues; he does not have them with him. Jonathan Spangler stated that proposed IMA coding is very extensive and is concerned that the new rules could start rejecting orders more often and make IMA hard to work through. Jeff Thompson stated that AT&T is knowledgeable but the complexities are Qwest’s to solve. Jonathan stated that so much will have to be done is concerned that Qwest is remedying AT&T’s Eastern and Central problems. Jeff asked if it is AT&T opinion that the technical risks associated with Option 3 are greater than the risk to re-tool CRIS? Jonathan stated that no; he was not saying that. Jeff stated that he is not understanding AT&T’s opinion that Option 3 would not meet their need, other than the technical difficulties. Jeff asked if he can reassure AT&T that the technical difficulties are solvable, are we okay with Option 3. Carla Pardee asked if Option 3 will provide 24 hour updates. Jeff Thompson stated that there are 2 problems that he needs to solve: pending orders to be available when issuing LSR and is hearing that AT&T is not agreeing with Qwest’s assessment of the technical solution. Tim Boykin stated that if we can get what AT&T’s internal clients need, doesn’t know if we have a problem. Jonathan Spangler stated that Connie Winston (Qwest) mentioned a virtual warehouse of data. With that, could see Option 2 as a viable solution. Is not comfortable that Option 1 would work. Jeff Thompson stated that AT&T should expect Qwest to deliver a solution that meets their needs, is not comfortable with AT&T determining what that solution should be. Jonathan stated that his email outlines the 4 things that are needed and stated that if those needs are met, we could definitely move forward. (the 4 items are: Ensure AT&T receives the most current and accurate CSR information from Qwest, Reductions of IMA order rejections, Improve Qwest flowthrough processes when related to orders submitted while there are pending order(s) against a customer's account and Improve feature change intervals after a customer has been converted to AT&T. Jeff Thompson stated that those are all fair and understands why is important to AT&T. Jeff stated that Qwest needs to go back and look at how the solution meets those needs. There can then be a dialogue and see if we can come to consensus. Jeff Thompson stated that Option 3 would be augmented. He will revise Option 3 and schedule a meeting to discuss. Jonathan requested revised Option 3 information prior to the July CMP Meeting. Jeff Thompson asked AT&T if next call is to be open to CLEC Community. Jonathan agreed to open call up to CLEC Community so that all CLECs will have a clear understanding of the proposed solution prior to the 12.0 vote.

June 25, 2002 Email from Jonathan Spangler/AT&T: I have reviewed the options Qwest has provided in response to Change Request (CR) SCR020802-1 (Update CSRs within 24 hours) with my customer, AT&T Local Services. Upon that review, AT&T has decided to continue with the original CR language and proceed with the original intent of the request. Moreover, AT&T cannot move forward with any of the options Qwest has offered. AT&T believes Qwest's response does not meet the needs of AT&T's request and we would like to continue to work with Qwest to identify a solution that will accommodate the needs of AT&T and the CLEC community.

AT&T's CR requested that Qwest systematically improve the interval of updating the customer CSR to within 24 hours of service after order completion. This request is consistent with the experience AT&T has with other RBOCs. AT&T believed that making this improvement would result in the following: * Ensure AT&T receives the most current and accurate CSR information from Qwest. * Reductions of IMA order rejections * Improve Qwest flowthrough processes when related to orders submitted while there are pending order(s) against a customer's account. * Improve feature change intervals after a customer has been converted to AT&T.

Qwest systems do not allow an order to flowthrough when pending order(s) are identified causing IMA to reject all flowthrough requests. A pending order takes between 3-5 business days to update the CSR and prohibits AT&T from issuing orders as flowthrough changes. In this scenario, AT&T has agreed to issue orders as a manually handled order to circumvent the IMA system edits to reject such orders. However, this is not an ideal solution for Qwest nor the CLEC community. Manual handling requires additional resources from Qwest and results in quality constraints for both Qwest and the CLEC community.

Over the past few months, AT&T has become well educated in Qwest backend systems. A number of problems stemming from the differences between regional system architectures have been addressed. AT&T agrees that the system architecture supporting the Western region functions in a realtime manner.

AT&T believes neither options 1, 2, or 3 will provide relief to the problems associated with our request. Specifically, Option 3 does not address improving CSR updating intervals. Instead, it will require an estimated resource allocation of 8000+ hours which AT&T believes is a lackluster solution to band-aid a broken leg. Also, this code intensive solution concerns AT&T with potential problems associated with slowing the IMA platform down, additional reject problems and conflicting LSOG requirements. Ultimately, AT&T believes the problem needs to be addressed in the Qwest back end systems not IMA. Jonathan Spangler AT&T Local Services & Access Management

June 20, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston (Qwest) mentioned that Qwest did an analysis and found that the Loss & Completion reports and SCR020802-1 don’t have any relationship. She indicated that the logic is different. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) indicated that she understood. Connie Winston (Qwest) (addressing all of the other action items for update CSRs) indicated that Qwest can relax the edit for these types of orders. Doing so does add complexity, but it is doable. It is not difficult to let the order come in the door and allow the centers to perform a manual effort, but to make it mechanized would take effort and the LOE has come in at 8,000+ hours. She noted that the manual solution is not a problem, but to let it flow through would require a lot of work. Jonathan Spangler (AT&T) stated that AT&T is getting to the prioritization. He indicated that he thought this CR should be presented as option 3, which is heavy on the edits, and it doesn’t exactly meet the request. But AT&T does understand the magnitude of what they are requesting. Because the goal of the CR has been refined over time, AT&T would like to change the title to more effectively describe what the option 3 solution would be to aid in prioritization. Jonathan committed to submit that change to Qwest within the next week. He indicated that he would like to reference all of the discussion points reflected in the title. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if AT&T meant to ensure that all of the discussion around this CR be reflected in the detail. Jonathan Spangler (AT&T) said Yes. Michael Buck (Qwest) said he agreed that the CR should be updated to to emphasize that when the CLECs and Qwest vote on this CR for prioritization, the vote will be on option 3. Connie Winston (Qwest) confirmed that Qwest needs to make sure the description of the change is updated to reflect the most current scenario. Jonathan Spangler (AT&T) indicated that he will submit an update to the CR to include a new title and AT&T’s understanding of what the scope is. He wanted to insure that all the discussion points were referenced. Michael Buck (Qwest) confirmed with participants that these action items are closed.

May 16, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he has had some discussions since the last CMP meeting and has some questions. OPTION 1: Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked - Related to central & eastern region. What does the western region system do now that would not need updating? Connie Winston/Qwest responded that we have a relationship between the billing system and CSR on-line and would love to have everywhere. When a service order completes in the SOP, it is sent to CRIS, then is sent to CARS, which holds the CSR data. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if the Western region meets the 24-hour window. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes, if it is error free. OPTION 2: Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if an additional pull was done in the SOP, would it meet the 24-hour commitment. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it would have the same problem, if it errors, it errors. It just might get to the SOP a few hours sooner. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that one of the reasons we submitted this was to get clarifications on the L&C report as well. Do you think any of these CSR errors are related to the problems we have been having with L&C? Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she does not think so, as the logic is very different, but can look into that. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T state that Option’s 1 & 2 are significant and would take many resources. OPTION 3: Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that the edits are to identify if there was a pending C order that may alleviate some rejects. Asked for the size of the change, in hours. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is a significant change to what IMA does today. What we are proposing is that when IMA is checking orders it looks to see if it was a conversion order. Timing will be a concern. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this would tie to an RSID so the C order that was pending, you will match the RSID for what the order is. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that some type of validation would need to be done. There would be an RSID/ZSID relationship. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked how that would affect other changes that Qwest has made such as for pending orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated was not familiar with the changes. If set to manual, will allow LSR to come in. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that there is a concern when they issue the initial conversion order, will not be able to set to manual in order to get to Qwest due to the check for a pending C order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the logic would not be applied to the initial order. Qwest will validate that you really own the account. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that that makes sense, that would help Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this would cause a conflict with CUS Code. If it is rejected, will have to call into the Center. Can that be eliminated? Connie Winston/Qwest asked how the CLECs know them now. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T responded that they do not know until the order posts. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she understands the problem and could look at relaxing some edits. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if there was a way to relax the edit. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the customer code is defined by region and asked if there is logic that can be applied, such as incrementing by 100? Connie Winston/Qwest responded that there is and can supply the logic/rules. Terry Wicks/Allegiance stated that the new customer code is based on that logic but the CLECs still would not have it. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it would still require research on our part. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest would apply the logic based on the customer code of the original order. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked the size of option 3, what would we be looking at? You indicated it would be less than 1&2 Connie Winston/Qwest responded that option 3 is less than 1&2 but is still XL. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked that if Qwest were to pick one, which one would they choose. We would like to get the most realistic option. Is option 3 more realistic? Could we identify the reason for the rejects like CUS code, and we knew a way to alleviate those, even if it has to fall out to manual handling, it seems it would save everyone time & effort. As a community we were thinking 3 is the only one we could possible get? Does Qwest have an opinion? Connie Winston/Qwest stated that option 3 is more realistic. Qwest also wants option 1 but it is very ,very big. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if there is any functionality that Qwest retail does not have to go through that the CLECs do. Connie Winston/Qwest responded no, they also have options to choose from via pre-order. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that with the options provided, would like to have the answers to the CUS code issue before makes a decision. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the action item will be closed and others will be opened. CR will stay in evaluation and next month will provide the LOE for option 3.

April 18, 2002 CMP Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking at 3 options. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the real issue is that when a LSR has been issued, Qwest works it. Then a CLEC needs to change the circuit and it doesn’t yet look like the CLEC owns it. Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the options: Option 1: Very, very big to update Central & Eastern CSR’s to process them in real time. This would take well into next year to do. Option 2: This option does not provide tremendous value. It is a little smaller and could be done early next year. Option 3: This is an IMA solution. This is a significant amount of work and option 3 would be eligible for 12.0 voting. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it has been asked if there could be a blend of solutions. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there really is not a good blend. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that in regard to the customer code and which one to use; if you have received billing notification, use the new customer code. If you have not received billing notification, use the old customer code. The workaround is to set the LSR to manual. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if a decision could be made on the option. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he needs to take the customer code piece back to his billing people. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the workaround was for GUI only. Connie Winston/Qwest responded no. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the CR status would change to Evaluation.

April 9, 2002 - CLEC Conference Call to Discuss Options: Attendees: Jonathon Spangler/AT&T, Carla Pardee/AT&T, Carrie Tucker/United Communications, Kathy Stitcher/Eschelon, Julie Pikar/USLink, Bob Carias/Nightfire, Terry Wicks/Allegiance, Dennis Martinez/Qwest, Connie Winston/Qwest, Mark Coyne/Qwest, Pam DeLaittre/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest. It was stated that the options that would be discussed are available via the interactive report on the web for this CR. The CR was reviewed. The CLECs need the ability to to issue subsequent LSR's for a product when a CSR is not updated within 24 hours. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T stated that also needs to track changes via customer code. Dennis Martinez/Qwest reviewed Option 1 for the Wholesale Billing Interface. Dennis stated that this would be an extremely large effort and would be a re-write of the CRIS System. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked why option 1 does not mention the Western Region. Dennis Martinez/Qwest responded that this capability was already in the Western Region. Carla Pardee/AT&Tstated that it would be in Qwest's best interest that all three regions are consistent. Dennis Martinez/Qwest reviewed Option 2 for the Wholesale Billing Interface. Dennis stated that this would be less effort than Option 1 but would still be Extra Large. Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed Option 3 for IMA EDI & GUI. Connie stated that would need to have the experts look into the customer code piece, this is a new requirement. Connie Winston stated that this option would be a significant effort. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T stated that there needs to be a customer code solution and requested a read-out at the April Systmes CMP Meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that can certainly provide as much status as we have at that time. The customer code would not impact the Wholesale Billing options. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T stated that the only solution that would solve their problem is option 3. Option 1 may also, depending on the customer code solution. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she understands the problem and can have an update at the next CMP. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if option 3 was really the only option. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that Qwest can look into a blending of the solution. Connie Winston/Qwest confirmed that this would be a votable candidate for 12.0 if go with the IMA solution. Dennis Martinez/Qwest stated that the Wholesale Billing solutions would be later than the 12.0 date. Terry Wicks/Allegiance stated that IMA could be a solution but needs to look at which system is best to go with. Terry asked if Qwest has an opinion/recommendation as to which would be best? Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the Billing options are very large and would take a long time to get done. IMA would be a shorter tem solution. The CLECs stated that the Billing Option would be Option 1 and the IMA solution could be looked into. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if there would be a work-around until the automated solution got implemented? Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we could look into that. Terry Wicks stated that even if it was a Remark. It was mentioned that a manual order is the current work-around. Bob Carias/Nightfire asked how factual the description was. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T responded that the description was based on AT&T's experience, even has a 40-day example. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this occurs more often on the more complex orders. Kathy Stitcher/Eschelon stated that has experience in the past that could be beyond 30 days. The meeting ended. There will be a read-out at the April 18, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting.

March 21, 2002 - Discussed at CMP: Carla Pardee/AT&T - spoke to this Connie Winston/Qwest noted that this is a huge effort, Qwest sat down with some of the experts to identify the true business needs to identify any options that are do-able. Qwest does not have all of the options yet. Qwest has quite a few experts looking into this right now. If Qwest has options that come out before the next meeting, a meeting can be called. Connie to let Jonathon Spangler or Carla Pardee of AT&T know when Qwest is ready to discuss options. If the options are not prepared for an earlier meeting, they will definitely be discussed at next Systems CMP meeting. Jeff Thompson/Qwest- Qwest looked at 3-4 scenarios; all are very, very expensive. Jeff was wondering if the intent behind this CR is to update the CSR after doing a conversion. He indicated that solving that particular problem would be easier than what was requested in the CR. If Qwest had to work the CR the way it is written, Qwest would probably have to deny it. But if agreement could be secured on a certain sub-set of issues, then that would be more do-able. Donna Osborne-Miller /AT&T confirmed that subsequent activity is the problem. Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated the Qwest could look into that. Connie Winston/Qwest mentioned that options would be provided. Jeff Thompson/Qwest committed to a general meeting in which the options would be presented. It was further confirmed that the option decided on in the meeting would be used to update the CR so this request can be evaluated. Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that Allegiance is also interested in this change request.

February 21, 2002 - Discussed at CMP: Jonathon Spangler presented CR as a walk-on item.

Clarification Meeting - February 15, 2002 Attendees: AT&T/Carla Pardee, Qwest/Peggy Esquibel-Reed, J. J. Bradley, Fred Howard, Monica Manning, Carl Sear Peggy reviewed CR description. Carla P. stated that the Center’s use a manual work around which requires the use of a manual log. AT&T is requesting Qwest to electronically update CSR’s more quickly. Has seen other ILECs do updates within 24 hours. Carl S. asked if there were error conditions for those that are having problems? Advised that Centrex and large orders could take 30 days. Small or general orders currently take 3-5 days. Carla advised would send examples to Peggy E-R. Fred H. stated that CSR’s are updated when order’s get posted. Carla P. stated needs electronically updated orders are being dropped for manual handling and manual handling could mean more errors.

CenturyLink Response

REVISED RESPONSE

July 25, 2002

Jonathan Spangler AT&T, Local Services & Access Management

This letter is a revised response to AT&T’s Change Request SCR020802-1.

At the July Systems CMP Meeting held on July 18, 2002 Qwest and the CLEC Community again reviewed this change request. Qwest reiterated its position that the proposed ‘Option 3’ represents a viable solution to the underlying business problem identified and agreed to at the March Systems CMP Meeting. AT&T reconfirmed the position that ‘Option 3’ is not an acceptable approach. AT&T, with the support of the other CLECs attending the meeting, again asked Qwest to deny the change request.

Qwest expressed concern that once the CR is denied it would not be eligible for prioritization. Qwest expressed reservations about removing a viable solution to an expressed business problem from the list of change requests eligible for the entire CLEC Community to consider in the upcoming prioritization process.

The CLEC Community in attendance at the July Systems CMP Meeting indicated their preference that if any CLEC is interested in pursuing ‘Option 3’ then that CLEC could initiate a new CR specifically requesting the approach outlined in ‘Option 3.’ The meeting attendees agreed that should such a request come forward, it could be addressed using the process for "Ranking of Late Added CRs" as described in the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document.

Thus, at the request of the CR originator and the CLEC Community, Qwest respectfully denies this change request.

Sincerely,

Jeffery Thompson Qwest, Information Technologies

Jonathan Spangler AT&T, Local Services & Access Management

This letter is a revised response to AT&T’s Change Request SCR020802-1.

SCR020802-1 was submitted on February 8, 2002. In the initial response provided at the March 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting, Qwest indicated that the effort to update CSRs within 24 hours is considerable. In light of the estimated level of effort Qwest asked AT&T to clarify the underlying business issue. AT&T indicated that ensuring up to date CSR information in order to support 'subsequent activity' after a conversion is the problem to which a solution is required. Qwest agreed to research and provide options to solve the business issue as clarified.

At a follow-up conference call held on April 9, 2002 Qwest proposed what has come to be known as 'Option 3.' From early April through early July Qwest has worked collaboratively with AT&T and the CLEC community to develop further the high level approach for 'Option 3.' At the June Systems CMP Meeting AT&T indicated a willingness to formally revise this Change Request to reflect that Option 3, also known as 'virtual CSR,' would be the option to be considered during the IMA 12.0 prioritization process.

Qwest believes that the approach was substantially reconfirmed at a June 26, 2002 conference call held with AT&T. While AT&T did express concern at the June 26, 2002 call, Qwest left that call with the understanding that the concern could be addressed. Specifically, AT&T wished to ensure that Qwest’s proposed solution would:

* Ensure AT&T receives the most current and accurate CSR information from Qwest * Provide reductions of IMA order rejections * Improve Qwest flowthrough processes when related to orders submitted while there are pending order(s) against a customer’s account * Improve feature change intervals after a customer has been converted to AT&T

Qwest reiterated the belief that the virtual CSR approach outlined in 'Option 3' could meet these needs. At AT&T’s request Qwest agreed to host a call on July 8, 2002 for the purpose of providing to the CLEC Community final clarification for 'Option 3.'

At the July 8, 2002 meeting the CLEC Community expressed concerns about the support and interest this request would receive in the IMA 12.0 prioritization process. The CLEC Community appears to believe that this change request would be voted low in the prioritization vote. Additionally, there appeared to be concern over a change request taking up a substantial portion of an IMA release.

At the conclusion of the July 8, 2002 meeting AT&T requested that Qwest update the status of this CR to 'Denied.' Call participants did ask whether it would be more appropriate to update this CR to a status of 'Deferred.' AT&T indicated their preference that the status of the CR be updated to 'Denied.'

Qwest believes that the proposed solution is a viable solution to the business problem raised in this change request. Therefore, Qwest believes that the proper approach is to allow the change request to proceed through the CMP prioritization process for IMA 12.0. Qwest is updating the status of the Change Request to a 'Pending Prioritization' status and proposes that the CLEC Community be given the option of ranking 'Option 3.'

Sincerely,

Jeffery Thompson Qwest, Information Technologies

--

April 5, 2002: Qwest has evaluated this CR and offers three options to discuss during the conference call scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, 2002. The goal of the call will be to come to an agreement as to which option the CLEC Community requests Qwest to implement to resolve the issue of the inability of the CLECs to do subsequent activity on a circuit because CSR’s are not updated in 24 hours.

OPTION 1 - Wholesale Billing Interface: Would require Qwest to update the Central and Eastern CRIS processing environments to accommodate near real time processing of CSRs. Qwest has determined that this change would be extremely large. It has been determined that this would require two full releases for each of the Central and Eastern CRIS system environments to accommodate this request.

The extremely high estimate is based on the current non-transactional system architecture that is inherent in the design of the Central and Eastern CRIS systems and the effort it would take to accommodate a transactional base architecture that would allow for a more expeditious update of the CSR.

OPTION 2 - Wholesale Billing Interface: Have the Central and Eastern CRIS environments process SOP pulls at mid-day and at the end of the day. The benefit to adding a mid-day SOP pull would be loading of any CSR that were submitted prior to the SOP pull. These CSRs would be available by 6:00 p.m. that evening or approximately 12 hours earlier than the regular SOP pull, which has CSRs available at 6:00 a.m. the next day, in most cases. While this option requires less effort than option one, it still falls into the extra large category.

OPTION 3 - IMA (EDI & GUI): Allow the entry of an LSR on a recently converted account that does not have an updated CSR.

The LSR would continue to be validated against the CSR. When the LSR fails the ownership check, IMA would then access the Service Order Processors to determine if a pending conversion order exists.

If a pending order exists, IMA will determine if the order is a conversion order for the CLEC submitting the new LSR. If the validation is successful IMA will accept the new LSR.

If a conversion order is not found IMA will reject the LSR based on ownership failure.

This would be an X-Large effort for IMA.

March 13, 2002 Qwest will provide a response at the March 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting.

Description Of Change

AT&T is requesting a batch interface with Qwest that would allow AT&T to send T3 cable identification and receive a response from Qwest identifying the status of each of the 28 channels in each of the T3 cables. AT&T would send a text file where the input fields are Facility Designation, Facility Type, Location A CLLI and Location Z CLLI's for each T3 cable in a particular city. These imput fields would be delimited by '|' ("pipe"). The file name would be 'att_qwest__.txt' where identifies the location of the T3 cables on this file. The end of the input file will be designated by "EOF" in the Facility Designation field.

OUTPUT FILES (Normal) Qwest would return a (normal) text output file where the fields are the same as the four on the input file plus the fields per each of the 28 channels of each of the T3 cable: Channel Number, Current Status, Circuit ID, Pending Activity and Due Date. Some of these fields are conditional and further information will be provided. If there is an error for a given T3 cable, the first four fields will be populated and their literal "Error" will be placed in the Current Status field. In addition, an error file will be created. The output file name will be 'qwest__att__.txt'. ERROR OUTPUT Files- Qwest would return an error text output file where the fields are the same as the four on the input file plus a Message Text field containing the identification of the error. That file name will be 'qwest_att___err.txt'.

Project Meetings

2/20/02 - Clarification was attended by : Mark Routh and Dan Busetti from Qwest and Donna Osborne-Miller, Bill Micou, Andy Shoneman, and David Blake from AT&T. Bill recounted the call with Jeff Thompson and Tim Bessey in which Jeff pointed out the fact that the IMA system would not be able to provide the required information for T3 cables. David asked how the file would be sent back and forth. Dan indicated that it would come in as a Pipe delimited text file with an EOF maker at the end. Qwest would return the information in the same format. Each input record will have a file name which contains the name of the city that the request is for. Each record would have 4 fields: Facility Designation, Facility Type, Location A CLLI and Location Z CLLI's for each T3 cable in a particular city (as described in the Description of Change field herein). Qwest will return the Channel Number, Current Status, Circuit ID, Pending Activity and Due Date for each of the 28 channels on each T3 cable. In the event that a match is not found in the query, an error file would need to be produced which contained the original 4 pieces of input information for each record that was't matched. That file would be returned to AT&T along with the matched results. Annelyn Afficial had sent a screen shot of the CEMR output and AT&T confirmed that it had all of the information needed. However, the CEMR system is manual process and AT&T would like Qwest to develop a mechanized solution in order to process a large volume of T3 requests at once.

There were three unanswered questions that AT&T will provide answers to: 1) What is the turnaround time required for these files? 2) What is the expected volume of records on each file? 3) Is this going to be run one time for each city or will this be an ongoing process even after the cleanup is completed?

CenturyLink Response

2/21/02 -This will be processed as a batch process. The details of this work will be discussed in the March 21, 2002 CMP meeting.

3/13/02 - Qwest will accomplish this by using the MYNAH scripting capability. MYNAH is a Qwest generated scripting program that will be use to extract the data from a backend OSS. This data will be formated in a delimited file per AT&T's requirements.

Description Of Change

AT&T would like to pursue a Systems CR to create another mechanism for CLECs to segment customers for loss/completion reports and DUF files, etc. As explained in the initial CR, AT&T has several business units

that need separate transmission of certain files. AT&T requested RSID/ZCID values because AT&T understood that RSID/ZCID values drove transmission of these various files. AT&T is open to Qwest creating some other value for driving these various data files.

The description from the original Product & Process Change Request (PC102601-1) follows:

Currently Qwest assigns only one RSID/ZCID per company. RSID/ZCID is an indicator that drives the daily usage files for all products within a CLEC. AT&T has multiple usage products within Qwest’s system. AT&T has a need to receive separated Meet Point/IXC usage files by product. Qwest is currently sending separate usage files to several locations by product. Due to RSID/ZCID assignment, Qwest will send duplicate files of the same data to two locations. For AT&T, this creates duplicate files and unnecessary records that AT&T is not able to eliminate. AT&T receives separate files from all other ILECs, and it appears that the RSID/ZCID is driving this concern. If Qwest will assign a new RSID/ZCID for AT&T business UNE-P Meet Point/IXC records which would be transmitted separately from the MEET Point/IXC currently going to Statton Island. Consequently, AT&T requests that Qwest assign a new RSID/ZCID specifically for AT&T UNE-P business products.

AT&T would like to see a mechanized approach to allow CLECs to tell Qwest how to segment customers for purposes of Daily Usage Feeds and any other system interfaces CLECs desire to have segmented.

Project Meetings

1/28/02 - The initial clarification call was held. Attendees were: Mark Routh - Qwest CRPM, J.J. Bradley - Qwest BAP, Carl Sear - Qwest Billing, Sunny Reimann - Qwest BAP, Carla Pardee - AT&T. Carla Explained her need to be able to split up the billing file to go to separate AT&T business units. Not just send all of them all of the data but separate the data by entity and send only the relavent information to each business unit. She suggested that Qwest establish additional RSID/ZSID indicators to accomplish this. Carl Sear indicated that changing the RSID/ZSID process would effect all CLECs, not just AT&T. JJ asked how many products this impact and how many different business units AT&T wanted to include in this request. Carla will get that information and get back to Mark Routh by 2/6/02.

Discussion formn the May 16 CMP meeting: Carla Pardee/AT&T said that this CR is in deferred status and now we are ready to proceed. She would like a clarification meeting on this CR to be scheduled. Mark Routh/Qwest will contact Carla Pardee/AT&T to set up the meeting.

5/30/02 As a result of a clarification meeting today, AT&T wishes to withdraw this request due to the fact that Qwest has already seperated the ODUF and ADUF records, and the Loop orders don't have DUF files.

CenturyLink Response

2/8/02 - AT&T has asked to have this deferred until they can gather more information. Qwest has placed this request in Deferred status. 2/26/02 - Qwest will leave this request in the Deferred status until AT&T requests that the work be resumed. At that time, this request will be evaluated by Qwest and presented to the CLEC monthly forum.

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the fax option is going away and stated that this CR is pending withdrawal. Lynn then noted that SCR020602-1 (Directory Listing FOCs via Email) is going forward with a targeted implementation date of June 23, 2003 for the email functionality. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this CR (SCR031102-1) is okay to withdraw. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that these CRs were delayed due to DirB and have been around for a while. Sharon stated that she was disappointed that they could not provide more input if changes were wanted. Sharon asked if AT&T needs to change the report, does AT&T submit a CR? John Gallegos/Qwest stated that is the process that should be followed. John stated that initially, we need to get the functionality out there. Then if you want changes, we would need new CRs. There were no other questions or comments. This CR will move to ‘Withdrawn’ status.

-- Ad-Hoc CLEC-Qwest Conference Call - April 9, 2003 SCR020602-1 Directory Listing FOCs via E-Mail SCR031102-1 Header Info on DL FOC Confirmation Reports.

SCR020602-1 Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss two CR’s submitted by AT&T: SCR020602-1 Directory Listing FOCs via E-Mail and SCR031102-1 Header Info on DL FOC Confirmation Reports. Peggy stated that these CR’s have been discussed in previous CMP Meetings, where it was stated that we needed to wait to implement these CR’s until DirB was deployed and stable. We are now at that point and wanted to meet with you to discuss the requirements and status of these CR’s. Peggy stated that Qwest needs to ask if the email functionality is still requested and if both CRs are needed. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that the email functionality is still needed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also stated that she would also like the email functionality. Bonnie asked if this were all or nothing. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that yes, once the email functionality was implemented, Qwest would no longer offer the option to fax. Lee stated that this would be similar to autofax where one email would be sent per company and would be based on the User Profiles. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked what would be on the subsequent confirmation/completion report, the name of the report and either initial or follow-up. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if things could be added? Sharon stated that she knows there are limits, like the name of the person it is going back to. Lee Gomez/Qwest asked to confirm that the CLECs would like the initiator name on the subject line. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that that would be great. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if they could tell Qwest what they wanted, then Qwest can tell us what you can do. Sharon stated wants 1 initiator name (1st initial and last name, not an email address), name of the report, initiator TN. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked that if there are 4 people sending in order’s, can’t have name, TN, and all order’s submitted yesterday? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that will need to be separate ID’s. Missy Wood/Comcast asked if they had a need for a special project, is it ok for a special email box? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated if can do via autofax currently, can do via email. CLEC asked if a column could be added to the report to include all the names. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the change to the confirmation/completion report would be a separate CR. CLECs stated that appreciate the great strides for email. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that she is disappointed that more cannot be done and that it took a year to get to this point. Lee Gomez/Qwest asked to confirm that the subject line would contain the name of the report and that would be sufficient for this CR? Sharon Van Meter/AT&T responded yes.

SCR031102-1 Discussion: Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the name of the report can be carried over on multiple pages. Lee asked if want report name and header information. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T read the CR description and stated that the header to say AT and have information. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated can do with this CR. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if can be sorted with all ACs appearing in one place. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the initial report is sorted AT, RF & AC, the subsequent report, follow-up to any AC, is sorted that way. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that the report would be a Word or PDF document and would have a header on each page. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked for the products this is being done for. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated is for FBDL only. CLEC asked if this is based on 1 End User Profile and need to change all to have the same email address? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated yes and that internally will have information with valid email address associated to it. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked for special projects, can make an exception for a one-time-only thing? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated yes, we would work that out with you. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked how the CLEC would get the information if email goes down? Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that this is one of the challenges; if there is 1 email address and it goes down, there is no recourse, that is where it is sent. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that AT&T would like to go forward with the email request CR and if they want to further split out, they will issue subsequent CR’s. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that SCR031102-1 can be put in Pending Withdraw and asked for the implementation date for the other CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it is not yet scheduled and that as soon as we have the targeted implementation date, we would bring it forward via an action item. There were no other questions or concerns. The call was concluded.

May 16, 2002 May Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Esther Scherer/AT&T stated that her service manager advised AT&T that this request and SCR020602-1 was not funded. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has not been denied funding but due to the development of DirB, it is very risky to implement any changes to LSS. Qwest is not opposed to doing this work, it just could impact the deployment date. Connie/Qwest stated that will have some discussions with the AT&T service manager, doesn't know where the 'not funded' came from as the CR's are in the funding process. Esther Scherer/AT&T asked if these changes could be made with the implementation of DirB. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that is resistent to that, due to the risk. Has not been rejected and that is why has not brought this up at CMP. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if was hearing that not doing in LSS anot doing in DirB for now? Connie Winston/Qwest responded for now. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if these were a big deal? Connie Winston/Qwest responded no, is purely the risk factor. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked what the timeframe was, after the release. Connie Winston/Qwest stated probably Late August or September. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if these requests will get done and won't come back as denied? Connie Winston/Qwest responded that they are still in the queue for the new system.

April 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Esther Scherer/AT&T presented CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is currently in definition. Qwest is currently looking into the email portion of this request and whatever is done there will be in the header as well. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort was in the CR response. The Status remains as Presented.

March 21, 2002 CMP Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T mentioned that this CR might dovetail with SCR020602-1 (Directory Listing FOCs). Donna indicated that this CR seeks to have the header information placed on each page of the CSR. Judy Schultz indicated that if Qwest can do this CR, it may supercede SCR020602-1. Status changed to Presented

Reviewed CR Description: This CR seeks to include header information on the DL FOC Confirmation/Completion Reports on each page of report. AT&T would like to see either Confirmed Update (AT) Accepted with Changes (AC) and Fatal (RF) or Accepted with Changes (AC) as the header on each page of the DL FOC reports. Donna stated that this effort would help out their Center’s. AT&T is requesting that the header information that appears on the first page, be included on all subsequent pages of both reports. The sort is to remain as it is today: AT, AC, and RF. AT&T Center’s use IMA GUI but other’s do use IMA EDI.

CenturyLink Response

The level of effort for this request is 80-160 hours.

Description Of Change

Since the implementation of IMA 9.0, AT&T has experienced a slow down in IMA GUI response time, particulary when issueing order activity type Changes, Transfers, and Disconnects. We were advised by the Qwest help desk (when responding to trouble ticke number 5868176) that the slow down that we are expieriencing is occuring because IMA is trying to validate againt LSS systems that are not available after 8:00 PM MST.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLE:

AT&T request LSS availability to coincide with IMA hours of operation.

Project Meetings

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Terry Bahner/AT&T gave the okay to close this CR.

November 12, 2002 -- DirB hours have been extended to 10:00 p.m. MT.

October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the goal is still to know in the Nov/Dec timeframe. They will not commit until the system is stable. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T questioned what the problems encountered were. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there are significant problems and are working them as they come up. The problems are normal new system problems.

September 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that still can't commit to 10pm. Qwest is still committing to 9pm. Once in production and stabilizes, believe that 10pm is a possibility. The last conversion is in November so hopes by the November or December CMP Meeting, can have an answer regarding extending the hours. Donna Osborn-Miller/AT&T asked how will you know it's stable? Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when goes into production and no Sev 1's are created. This usually takes 30-days. DirB is still working towards 10pm MT, just can't commit yet. Donna Osborn-Miile/AT&T asked if that looks like November for stabilizing? Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes, and are encouraging to extend the hours to 10pm. Should know by January 2003.

August 22, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest - there is no update at this time. There is no commitment yet for the hours. The Action Item will remain open.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest had originally planned to implement the new system in July. The new target date is September. The DirB team is not in a position to commit to this work. They have new code and they will have to re-test it. Connie Winston/Qwest apologized for the delay. Michael Buck/Qwest said that action item will remain open and Qwest will provide status in the August CMP meeting

June 20, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston (Qwest) said that while things are looking up Qwest can’t yet give a commitment at this time. Sharon Van Meter (AT&T) asked if this is for the new system. Connie Winston (Qwest) said yes. She added that the goal is 10:00 p.m. but that Qwest can’t commit to that yet. She indicated that the hours will be extended to 9:00 p.m. with the DirB system and possibly 10:00 p.m. She noted that if we can extend the hours prior to the July CMP meeting, Qwest will send out notification to all CLECs. Action Item will remain open for readout in July.

May 16, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated could back-off the LSS to IMA relationship during that period of time. Can't do an IMA edit due to timing. Has strongly suggested that the new system stay up later. Won't know about that until later. Has received agreement fthat the new system would stay up until 9pm. Is trying for 10pm. The new system is targeted for July deployment. Connie will provide a read-out of DirB testing at the June CMP meeting. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if the deployment would be transparent to the CLECs. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes. Bob Carias/NightFire asked what the 10.0 impact is to directory listings. Connie Winston/Qwest responded none. The change has to do with how Qwest handles resale. The Action Item will remain open for a June CMP read-out by Connie Winston.

April 18, 220 CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest stated that this was a walk on CR last month; we wanted to formally bring it forward. Esther Scherer/AT&T presented CR. Esther Scherer/AT&T stated they are continuing to have a problem with LSS slowing down after 8pm and would like to extend the LSS system hours. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest cannot extend LSS hours due to nighttime commitments for CLECs. Qwest may make a change to IMA, which is defined, but the work has not yet been started. It is to stop checking at a certain time. Qwest has a new system, DirB, that is implementing this summer and it may be able to stay up later, could be until 9 p.m. Sunday may not be an option due to maintenance of the system. It is a big risk to take the maintenance hours away from any system. Connie admitted that it’s not the perfect solution but it will reduce the pain. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the Status is Evaluation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that that IMA piece is being pursued as a bug fix and is not something that is to be prioritized.

March 21, 2002 CMP Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T indicated that she would like this packaged in May. Qwest Help Desk told AT&T that IMA was trying to validate data that is not available after 8 p.m. Donna indicated that the LSS SME stated that this CR would not be possible due to other batch processing. However, AT&T still wants it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that AT&T wants something to do the function. Qwest is looking at something that can be done so the CLECs don’t feel the pain after 8 p.m. A balance must be struck to make sure LSS can continue to do the batch process. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T indicated that a mirror system would also meet AT&T’s needs. Connie Winston/Qwest indicated that Qwest is looking at multiple options. Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that Qwest is upgrading the LSS system this summer and Qwest could look into rolling this change into that upgrade. Status changed to Presented

March 18, 2002 Clarification Meeting - Donna Osborne-Miller, AT&T Carla Pardee, AT&T Chuck, AT&T Peggy Esquibel-Reed, Qwest J. J. Bradley, Qwest Mark Early, Qwest Kathy Hill, Qwest Gerald Mohatt, Qwest

AT&T requests that the LSS hours of availability be the same as IMA’s. If that is not feasible, requests a mirror system for when LSS has to be taken down.

CenturyLink Response

March 21, 2002: Jeff Thompson advised at the March CMP Meeting that Qwest is upgrading the LSS System this summer and would look at rolling this request into that upgrade.

Description Of Change

A system change which would include the APP date on PSON.

Application Date is defined as: The date (and time) on which Qwest receives from the CLEC a complete and accurate local service request (LSR) or access service request (ASR) or retail order, subject to the following:

· For the following types of requests/orders, the application date (and time) is the start of the next business day:

(1) LSRs and ASRs received after 3:00PM MT for Designed Services

(2) Retail orders received after 3:00 PM local time for Designed

Services.

(3) LSRs received after 7:00PM MT for POTS Resale (Residence and Business), Non-Design Resale Centrex, non-designed UNE-P, Unbundled Loops, LNP.

Retail orders for comparable non-designed services cannot be received after closing time, so the cutoff time is essentially the business office closing time.

Project Meetings

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

4/19/02 Clarification call was held with AT&T attendees:

Esther Scherer - AT&T Terry Bahner - AT&T Mark Routh - Qwest (System CRPM) Jerry Mohatt - Qwest (Project Manager - Wholesale) Carol Zimmerman - Qwest (LSOG Rep) Jill Martain - Qwest ( Wholesale Process Manager) J.J. Bradley - Qwest (Business Application Process Manager)

Mark opened the meeting and everyone introduced themselves. Terry stated that she wished to withdraw the request and rewrite it with more detail. Mark encouraged her to contine with the existing CR in order to save time and noted that Qwest could rewrite the existing request to capture the needs. Terry agreed and went on to talk about how this request sprang out of the request that addressed the JEP after the FOC. Jill mentioned that the APP date is not on the FOC due to the LSOG standard and that Qwest would be able to add this information to the new Pending Service Order Notice (PSON). Terry indicated that that would be fine to provide the information on that form. J.J. mentioned that the PSON would be produced in the IMA 10.1 release and would contain the Due Date and the Completion date but will not contain the APP date at this point. Mark indicated that this change would be elligable for the IMA 12.0 prioritization in June, 2002.

DRAFT RESPONSE

April 22, 2002

RE: SCR041202-01 (Add APP Date to Pending Service Order Notice (PSON))

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR041202-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held April 19, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1400 to 2100 hours for this IMA 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 CR will be eligible for prioritization in the IMA 12.0 prioritization vote that will be conducted in the July 18, 2002 System CMP monthly meeting.

Description Of Change

Qwest requires the Name and Address fields to be populated in order to retrieve a CSR. It is the only ILEC that places this restriction as part of the order requirement process. Qwest believes that the Name and Address inclusion on the order serves as a "tie breaker" in case they have more than one account under the same TN. AT&T believes the better "tie breaker" would be to send the account that is in a "live/active" status.

Clarification call attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T Terry Bahner - AT&TJonathan Spangler - AT&T Sharon VanMeter - AT&T Bill Micou - AT&T Regina Mosley - AT&T Dale Carlin AT&T Bret Birkholtz - Qwest J.J. Bradley - Qwest Beth King - Qwest Jerry Mohatt - Qwest Berkley Loggie - Qwest Mark Routh - Qwest

Mark Opened and asked everyone to announce themselves. He introduced the CR and read the tiltle. Donna provided summary of the request and asked that the title be corrected to include Name as well as address. Mark indicated that he would update the CR to reflect the change. Beth asked if this change was only for the CSR Transaction. Donna and Bill stated that it was only CSR. Bill mentioned that no other ILECs require the name and address fields be populated for CSR. Just the phone number is required. Donna mentioned that Jonathan had raised the flag on this issue. …...(Thanks Jonathan) Bill asked for confirmation that this would be an IMA Common change. Beth agreed, because it would effect the back end data bases that are used by both the IMA GUI as well as IMA EDI. JJ asked if this request was to remove the fields or just remove the requirement to populate them. If they were included, should they be edited? Beth pointed out that if they were "Optional", they would not be edited. Bill indicated that he didn't see any reason to leave the fields in. JJ mentioned that there could be some back end legacy system impacts. Bill mentioned that in the event that there were more than one CSR returned on the CSRQ, the Cust Code could be used as the tie breaker. He said that the Ref # would resolve multiple CSRQs as well. He added that the Cust Code filed is not a required field. Beth pointed out the fact that the Ref # is a conditional field. She stated that Ref#, not Cust Code is used for the tie breakers (there isn't a Cust Code field on CSR). Bill indicated that the CSRQ 37 field had a length of 12 with 2 hyphens. Beth indicated that the Cust Code is not included Bill said that if, on a query, you get back multiple responses, the user could go in with the Ref # to identify the correct account. Beth said that Qwest would be open to leaving them optional. Bill indicated that if Qwest took away the edits, he wouldn't have any problem leaving the fields in. Beth indicated that Qwest may need to come back with two options: 1) Make the fields optional but leave them in the form due to the fact that if they were removed, it would require a mapping change. 2) Remove the fields from the form. The call was concluded by Mark summarizing the next steps and reiterating that he would update the tile field on the CR.

Discussion from the May 16 CMP meeting: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented this CR. This CR centers on CSR retrieval in GUI and EDI. Donna Osborne- Miller/AT&T reviewed the requirements and noted that there is no other ILEC has these requirements. Donna Osborne-Miller said that she realizes that this is a walk on, but during the clarification meeting Qwest said that they could possibly make these fields optional, as well as a second option (but this option was a large effort). Michael Buck/Qwest noted that the LOE is included (200-750 hours) and is a potential candidate for IMA 12.0. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she believed the hours assigned were for the option of making it optional and this seems like the best option for both Qwest & other CLECs. Michael Buck/Qwest noted that Qwest needs to make the option visible in the body of the response of the CR so that it is more obvious come voting.

Dicussion from the September 19 CMP meeting:

Connie Winston/Qwest said that in definition on the name and address field requirement on the CSR retrieval, the notes had reference to pre-order and order. Qwest clarified with the originating CLEC that their expectation was for “pre-order” only. This Action Item is to make sure that we brought it to the entire CMP community. Liz Balvin/WorldCom wanted to clarify that this request is the one that seeks not only the lifting of the name and address field but once the CSR is retrieved, that Qwest is only going to respond with the active CSR. Connie Winston/Qwest said Yes Liz Balvin/WorldCom also said that WorldCom has had some issues with CSRs that actually list multiple accounts as live. How is Qwest determining the actual active account. Connie Winston/Qwest said that live accounts would be displayed since we can’t necessarily make that determination. Now we do still have SANO as a requirement but not full name and full address. So we would try to do a SANO validation. If that matched both of them, we would not make that choice for you and we would not hide from you that there are two options there. We would you to make that determination. That is rare but Qwest is not saying that it could never happen. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon - couldn’t the one customer have two active accounts up at one time due to posting? So then you would have to make the determination, which was the most recent? Connie Winston/Qwest said that it shouldn’t stay live. When another live one comes, the other one should go away. That’s the goal. When that isn’t successful, we would not hide one of them from you and make that determination by ourselves with the system. We would tell you that there are two active live accounts. Liz Balvin/WorldCom– I sort of have a side bar question. I think we’ve talked about this before, I just want to make sure I’m clear regarding the customer code. I know that’s returned on the CSR but is customer code required for the order? Connie Winston/Qwest — Qwest definitely recommend that you provide the customer code. John Gallegos/Qwest - that’s correct but there is not a hard edit Liz Balvin/WorldCom — What is the logic for assigning customer code? I believe Customer Codes increment by 100. Connie Winston/Qwest — no, there is different logic for different order types Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon — could you publish that please? It would help to identify if you come across two CSR MickiJones/WorldCom- if not required to put Customer Codes on order, how do you determine which one to put on account? Connie Winston/Qwest — it falls out to manual handling Liz Balvin/WorldCom — the highest increment would be the active account? Connie Winston/Qwest — No, not necessarily. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon — it could be lower or higher Liz Balvin/WorldCom — The logic for customer code assignment would be very helpful. Also, when is a Customer Code generated? For every change or only when they migrate? Connie Winston/Qwest — it is at origination, but we can provide that information. Mike Buck/Qwest — Are they any other questions? There were no questions on the phone or in the room. This action item will be closed, the CR will of course remain open, and a new action item will be created to answer the questions on Customer Code. SCR061802-02 (Separate Local End Office Usage and Shared Transport Usage on UNE-P BillMate files.) Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the LOE is about 6,000 hrs and is a fairly significant piece of work. Qwest is still trying to get a target date provide the scheduling info when it’s available. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said thanks, I’d appreciate that. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that we’ve never really had a prioritization for billing before, and I’m curious if this, with the level of man-hours, would require that going forward. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said when I say it’s significant I mean that the issue is that it’s touching multiple sub-systems. Scheduling the work in all the sub-systems is a matter of coordination that requires meetings and discussion with all those sub-systems. Those efforts are underway. It’s not a matter of being able to do the work, it’s a matter of getting all of the systems to work together. This could be #1 in priority and we would still be in the same bucket. Mike Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other questions and there were none.

CenturyLink Response

Qwest could do this work in the IMA system. Option 1: Remove the requirement for the Name and Address fields to be populated - 200 - 750 hours Option 2: Remove the fields from the form - 750- 3000 hours.

As discussed and agrred to by Qwest and the CLECs in the May Systems CMP meeting, Qwest will implement Option 1 for this request.

This request is eligible for prioritization for the IMA 12.0 release.

Additional Information: Qwest has placed an indicator on the CSR for all accounts that are pending disconnection. This indicator will appear in the Account Description field with the value of DISC when the CSR is retrieved, so the user can distinguish between that account and the active account in the event that they are both returned on the CSR Query. This information can be found in the IMA User's Guide in the Pre Order Process section under within the CSR portion of the Reviewing Customer Service Records section.

Description Of Change

AT&T is sponsoring this change request on behalf of NightFire Software Inc. , seeking a documentation change to the existing "Sample EDI (X12) Document". Currently, this document provides sample "EDI Responses". In order to have a complete "EDI Samples Document", both "EDI Requests" and "EDI Responses" should be incorporated into this document. We believe that this change allows for complete clarification of the EDI mapping for each LSR Order and Pre-Order transaction.

Expected Deliverables: Documentation change in SATE to add "EDI Responses" to (X12) mapping for each LSR order and pre-order transaction.

Introduction of Attendees: Mark opened the meeting with the introduction the participants on the Conference Call.

Review Request: Mark read the CR Description of Change.

Confirm Area & Product Impacted: Mark confirmed the area and products impacted as Pre Order and Order/SATE/Local Switching

Confirm Right Personnel Involved: Mark asked if anyone else needed to be involved in the discussion. Nobody else was required other than Wendy Green and Annelyn Aficial.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation: Annelyn asked AT&T what type of response they are looking for? She asked if they were looking for examples of FOCs or do they want Completion notices, Jeopardy notices, and Reject notices. Donna indicated that she thought it would be of value. [to have all of the components] Wendy said it makes sense to have a sample of each different response. Or do they want to see an FOC for each product? Donna asked to have responses show FOCs only. Later, if the user group wanted, additional responses could be provided. Bobbie asked if there could be a sample of each response per product? Donna asked to see what both options looked like. Wendy indicated that she saw 3 possible options: 1. Produce an FOC for each product 2. Produce an FOC for each product and 1 example of every other type of response 3. Produce 1 of each type of response per product Donna indicated that we should focus on the first two

Identify any Dependencies: Mark confirmed that there was no other system dependencies Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame): Annelyn Aficial will develop the LOE for 2 options for this CR. 1) Produce an FOC for each product 2) Produce an FOC for each product and 1 example of every other type of response This will be discussed at the Monthly Systems CMP meeting on 6/20/02.

DRAFT RESPONSE

June 13, 2002

RE: SCR052902-01 (Add sample EDI (X12) Responses to the SATE Documentation)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR052902-01. As discussed at the Clarification Meeting (held June 11, 2002) Qwest anticipates two options as possible solutions for this SATE Change Request:

Option 1 - Produce an FOC for each product Option 2 - Produce an FOC for each product and 1 example of every other type of response

Based upon the scope of this request as discussed at the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 100 to 200 hours for Option 1 and an estimated LOE of 200 to 300 hours for Option 2.

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. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR052902-01.

Sincerely, Qwest

REVISED RESPONSE:

July 8, 2002

RE: SCR052902-01 (Add sample EDI [X12] Responses to the SATE Documentation)

In the June 20th Systems CMP meeting, the CLECs chose option 3. Qwest projects to complete the work and publish the updated document by July 26, 2002. Therefore, the status of this Sate documentation Change Request is updated from Pending Prioritization to Development.

Option 3: Produce the appropriate pre-order response for each pre-order transaction and an FOC for each order transaction in the document and 1 example of every other type of response.

The LOE for this option is 300-400

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

AT&T would like to receive completions notices from Qwest no later than 24 hours from the time work has been done on UNE-P requests. In reviewing the SIG , pages 10 -12 no where does it indicate information about completions? Are the installation guidelines synonymous with completions guidelines? We believe there is a lag between the service completion and the completion notice itself. We would like to see the notice within 24 hours of it's service completion.

Expected Deliverables: Receive completion notification no later than 24 hours of the service being completed.

_________________________________________

Updated Description of Change:

AT&T would like to see not only a date stamp but also the time stamp for Service Order Completions.

6/11/02 Clarification Call meeting minutes:

Attendees were: Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T Sharon VanMeter-AT&T Wendy Green-Qwest Annelyn Aficial-Qwest Mark Routh-Qwest Lydell Peterson-Qwest Mark Early-Qwest J.J.Bradley-Qwest

Introduction of Attendees: Mark opened the meeting with the introduction the participants on the Conference Call.

Review Request: Mark read the CR Description of Change.

Confirm Area & Product Impacted: Mark confirmed the area and products impacted as UNE-P.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved: Mark asked if anyone else needed to be involved in the discussion. Nobody else was required other than those on the call.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation: Mark mentioned that the request might be either a Product /Process change or a contract modification rather than a systems change. Donna asked if the Installation Guidelines and the Completion Guidelines. Nobody had a definite answer. Mark indicated that he would find out for sure. Lydell indicated that he would look into this issue as well. Wendy asked if the request was for LSR completions or work completions. There was some clarification discussion around the different intervals. Donna indicated that the request was for the completion notices after the work is completed. Mark mentioned that Qwest is currently measuring this interval and would get back with AT&T on what that interval is. Donna stated that AT&T wasn't sure that they were not getting the completions within 24 hours but suspected that it was taking longer than 24 hours because of a Minnesota UNE-P trial. The discussion wrapped up with Lydell stating that he and Mark Routh would work together to do some more investigation on this issue.

Identify any Dependencies: Mark confirmed that there was no other system dependencies, but there may be a contract dependency. Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame): Lydell Peterson is going to do some checking on how to categorize this request and Qwest will discuss this at the monthly Systems CMP meeting on 6/20/02.

7/9/02 Call with AT&T Attending the call were: Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T David Belanger - AT&T Jeannie McKelvie - AT&T Sharon Van Meter - AT&T Michael Pearl - Qwest Teresa Stewart - Qwest Lydell Peterson - Qwest Mark Routh - Qwest

The purpose of the call was to obtain the training needs from AT&T for the IMA GUI screen for Completions.

It was determined that AT&T was correctly using the screens but the data that is displayed is suspect.

Teresa is going to work directly with David to review the data.

RE: SCR052902-02 (Twenty four hour completion notification for UNE-P)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR052902-02. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification Meeting (held June 11, 2002) Qwest is still unable to validate the issue identified in the Change Request. Qwest is continuing to look into the problem and may need to request that examples be provide to further research this issue.

At the next 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

REVISED RESPONSE

July 09, 2002

RE: SCR052902-02 (Twenty four hour completion notification for UNE-P)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR052902-02. Based upon the updated scope of this CR as agreed to in the June Monthly Systems CMP Meeting (held on June 20, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1250 to 2075 hours for this IMA Change Request. This LOE is to provide a time stamp in addition to the currently provided date stamp for service order completions.

Description Of Change

Provide ability to submit LSR's via the IMA GUI by bypassing some IMA edits when a known system or data problem prevents a successful normal submission of the LSR. In the event that IMA still cannot accept the LSR, allow CLECs the option to send LSR directly from IMA GUI to fax system for processing.

Project Meetings

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she recommends closure of this CR although the functionality has not yet been used. Connie stated that trouble tickets could be opened if a problem occurs. (3/2/04 Revision from Eschelon - Connie explained the criteria Qwest uses to implement this functionality. Qwest assesses the amount of errors do to a problem and how many inaccurate LSRs would get through the door. Qwest was unaware of this impact when the CR was implemented).

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T Consumer is cutting to 14.0 on February 14th and asked that the CR remain in CLEC Test until February CMP.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked that this CR remain open. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: LSR submitted using the error override feature would follow the manual flow and display a new override indicator to have the request drop to manual. The CLEC will request reject override functionality for a GUI LSR via a drop-down list. In IMA EDI, reject override functionality will be made available via a new field in the 850 and 860 transactions. In either case, the CLEC will be given a choice of 'Override' or 'Override with Fax', 'Override with Fax' will make every attempt to process the LSR within IMA. If, IMA is unable to process, the LSR will be faxed automatically to IIS. The CLEC will be notified via a LR notice that further communications regarding the LSR should be directed to ISC. If an LSR is faxed to IIS, the same format will apply for both GUI- and EDI-originated requests. Products: All

Forms Impacted: LSR

Fields: Implement a new override field both GUI and EDI LSRs "Reject Override field."

ACTs: N/A

Connie Winston - Qwest stated that this CR is requesting that Qwest accept an LSR when an edit or error is causing rejects that Qwest is in the process of fixing. Liz Balvin - MCI asked if it could be stated if the CR is being implemented for EDI, GUI, or both. Connie Winston - Qwest responded yes, we would add that information for the next walk-thru. Connie stated that she would also like to discuss the format.

Questions & Answers:

Q: Does this candidate allow GUI users to override upfront BPL error messages? A: Connie Winston - Qwest responded that is for GUI and EDI.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: If the LSR is faxed to the llS will subsequent Qwest responses be sent via fax or email? A: Connie Winston - Qwest responded that IMA will automatically take care of faxing to the Center’s and that responses will be returned via the path chosen, it will behave like faxing. Monica Manning - Qwest stated that the CLEC would also get a confirmation from IMA and will say that the request was successfully faxed to IIS. Monica stated that the fax number could be typed on the LSR. There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding IMA 14.0 Prioritization: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the CR and asked if the LOE was correct. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was the old LOE and stated that it would be updated before prioritization. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR should be for IMA Common and that Qwest is building a table that can be updated when needed to add or delete from it. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that Qwest still wants the LSR to be as clean as it can be but that this CR will have a fax component.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that that business need is for a way to communicate with Qwest when there is a back end system issue or when we have a release go in and there is a bug with a sev 2 causing some pain. Connie stated that what Qwest would like to recommend is creating an overwrite field, that for pre-defined reasons, Qwest would allow the overwrite field to be marked. Connie stated that some edits would then be relaxed and it would fall into the Center’s. Connie stated that when we have an instance where there is a bug, and we see that you’re struggling with a condition, we’ll let that field be marked. A text window could pop up indicating that we could fax this over to the center (that you won’t have to re-type) and the centers will accept it. The CLEC would have to enter a fax number. Connie stated that Qwest tried to cover all bases and situations so that the CLECs can continue sending in LSRs. Connie stated that Qwest would like you to stay in IMA, as this is our way to meet your need. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that when the text box pops up, is there a possibility that the FOC could be sent to the submitter via email; an online form that could be used. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that that would be a significant change. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest anticipates that the text box would be rare. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes and that Qwest could not think of an example as to when this would occur. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that Qwest looked at trouble tickets from the past to see if any of those issues would have resulted in the fax option and none would have. Sue stated that Qwest’s goal is to keep it in IMA. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that for her own purpose, needs a ticket number in order to go thru the override, to prevent abuse. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would like to prevent abuse and that there could still be rejects by the centers. Connie stated that after a release, if there is a problem, there has to be a ticket. Connie stated for the daily occurrances,, we would not require that a ticket be opened. Connie stated that in general I think the CLECs want it to flow through too, they don’t want it falling out, they want it to go through process. Connie stated that if the center’s see abuse, you could get a reject back. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that with this new definition, the CR needs to be clear in the title. Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if faxed, how will the confirmation be received. Connie Winston/Qwest stated via fax, once you enter the fax world. Candy Skaff/Eschelon asked if they could get a message that it was sent via fax. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if this candidate makes it into 14.0, Qwest will look into that. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would revise the CR title. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the action item is now closed.

-- January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the meeting was held with the CLEC Community. Connie stated that at that meeting it was agreed that Qwest would prepare options and provide details at the February Systems CMP Meeting.

- CLEC Community Meeting - January 9, 2003

Attendees: Byron Dowding/AllTel, Trina/Cox Communications, Nancy/Cox Communications, Sharon Van Meter/AT&T, Wayne Hart/Idaho PUC, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Jonathan Spangler/AT&T, Ray Acevedo/Winstar, Nancy Curniffe/Winstar, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Conrad Evans/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Cynthia Gomez/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Deb Roth/Qwest, Kit Thomte/Qwest, Rob Mitchell/Qwest, Connie Winston/Qwest, Sue Stott/Qwest, Lori Langston/Qwest

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest advised that this CMP CR was discussed at the December Systems CMP Meeting and an off-line call was requested to possibly change the scope of this request, that is the purpose of this conference call. Peggy stated that this call will be for fact finding only and stated that solutions will not be offered on today’s call.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would like to obtain additional information to better understand the exact problems and situations that are occurring that has prompted this change request for the email functionality. Peggy asked the CLEC Community what they are looking for the email functionality to help with. Peggy stated that previously there was a problem brought forward regarding address validation. Qwest may ask for clarity around that issue and ask for specific details surrounding other problems/situations. Qwest will then research and investigate those problems/situations brought forward today in order to determine an approach to help you with them.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked AT&T if they had anything to add before the start of the discussion. No comments were brought forward.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when this change request was originally discussed, the level of effort was determined to be rather large. That was due to the fact that we were trying to solve everything, every scenario. Qwest would like to better understand the most painful situations and problems to make this effort more manageable. Qwest’s goal is to create an environment that allows CLECs to send us LSRs. Qwest would like to ensure that the CLECs understand that the solution that will be implemented will never apply for when the system is completely down. Connie stated that IMA is rarely down, and when it is, Qwest works diligently to get it working. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that that sounds logical. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the solution would be for oddities, such as the address validation issue. Connie Winston/Qwest asked for other examples/situations in order to determine what needs to be done. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would like to capture other reasons, in addition to address validation, that you want to utilize email functionality for LSRs.

Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he is not sure what would be inclusive on a list. Jonathan stated that his criteria for the CR is if a CLEC populates the LSR, with the back-end systems working, then submits the LSR, IMA rejects the LSR and the reject is not fixable. Then the CLEC needs to fax the request in a specific format. Jonathan stated that an inclusive list is unknown. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she agrees with Jonathan Spangler/AT&T. Bonnie stated that she is not sure she wants to see an exhaustive list. Bonnie stated that after the 11.0 Release, Eschelon cannot submit a conversion order on a Centrex account without a BTN and that is a challenge. Bonnie stated that traditionally as a result of a patch or release, an edit that has been used in the past creates a problem that causes them to be unable to submit an LSR. Bonnie stated could be on a UNE-POTS order. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that situations cause more pain to some CLECs than to other CLECs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that when Qwest assigns the severity level, the same level is assigned for all CLECs and that may not be appropriate. Bonnie understands that sometimes the address validation problems can’t be fixed.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that after a patch or a release goes in, things sometimes happen that Qwest did not anticipate. She would like a process to be used on an interim basis. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she does now have a general understanding and realizes that a list would not be easy to compile; problems are based depending on the release. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CLECs can disagree with the assigned severity level by using the escalation process. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she is aware and does understand that. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Allegiance and Eschelon had a problem with loop to loop conversion orders and a severity level of 1 was assigned, for a reason. Bonnie stated that if they had a useable option to get the LSRs submitted, this would not be on the top of the list. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she understands that a particular product could be more important to some CLECs then others. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there could be multiple options after a release. Connie stated that there could be different solutions that could meet different needs, such as the ampersand in the address validation issue. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently exploring opportunities in order to accept LSRs, such as relaxing edits to get LSRs through or sending to IIS. Connie asked the CLEC Community if those possible solutions were still worth exploring. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated yes. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that internal meetings have taken place to discuss potential solution. Connie asked the CLECs if they could provide examples of other daily types of problems. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he could go back and ask for some. Jonathan stated that has address validation examples but they have been taken care of via a fax to Qwest. Jonathan advised that the fax solution is not something that AT&T wants to do very often, prefers to go through IMA EDI. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon agreed with Jonathan and stated that should only have to fax when there is no other way to get their LSRs through. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she does believe that the CLECs would not abuse the fax option. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that they want flow through as much as Qwest does.

Sue Stott/Qwest stated that if the GUI is up and there is a problem, could give the option to route to whatever manual handling system that you have. It would come to Qwest as a fax even though the CLECs would not be faxing through a fax machine that you would walk over to.

Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he would not want the email solution to have edits or rules. Jonathan stated that the email solution process should use the IMA format but needs a different channel, email or whatever, without rules that would reject orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the email would be emailed to a Qwest faxing environment. IMA would send to a Qwest Center and the Qwest Center would use the same process as they currently use for faxes. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is something for Qwest to look at but is not offering it as a solution at this time. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has not worked through this in any depth and maybe it could be used when you would be going to the fax machine anyway. Connie stated that there would be no increase of faxes into the Qwest Center’s, would just come in a different format. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that that was correct. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if any other CLECs had any comments. No comments were brought forward.

Sue Stott/Qwest asked if the CLECs have a ‘top 10’ list. Sue stated that Qwest would like to look at the list to assist in the development of solution(s). Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that there is not much volume here. Jonathan stated that this does not happen very often so might not be able to provide a list. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest does not really need a list but does need the CLECs to walk through what the problems and scenarios are that Qwest needs to look into. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that the situations that would be provided are those already called into the IMA Help Desk. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would query the IMA Help Desk. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the CLECs would only use the solution if has a trouble ticket. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked to confirm if Qwest was going to find the information without Jonathan/AT&T providing examples. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that yes, we find through the IMA Help Desk. Connie Winston/Qwest if there were any questions from the Qwest Process Specialists. Cynthia Gomez/Qwest asked how notifications and confirmations were expected back. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he would expect them back in the same format; the email format, to the LSR submitters email address. Jonathan stated that he knows that this may not happen. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this would change the process, if goes through IIS, so would need to look at that when we look at potential solutions.

Connie Winston/Qwest asked for other comments or questions. None were brought forward.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that status would be provided at the January Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy stated that Qwest may not yet have potential solutions to offer, but a status would be provided.

- December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that he didn’t see a response on this CR Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that a response was sent to AT&T yesterday and showed that it was a fairly large effort. Connie Winston/Qwest said that effort would basically require a new interface and explained that behind the GUI there is a layer of edit logic that would have to be replicated. We would have to address every single field for an e-mail solution. We did provide another option to AT&T that is less expensive. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he was unclear why this would require a new interface. IMA currently has an email functionality that allows you to click and convert a form that can be sent via e-mail. Connie Winston/Qwest said this functionality doesn’t invoke all the edits and we would literally have to walk through all the edits that IMA currently has. If we back down on some of the functionality that you’ve listed, then certainly we can create something less expensive. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T said that AT&T did submit this CR under the premise of it being systems or product/process change Connie Winston/Qwest—if we did more of a form format (IMA not QLSOG) the centers were rejecting because it is not the form they are expecting. The centers could be trained to accept the IMA format. They’re currently not trained to accept the format. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that’s actually all we need is if we can populate the form in the GUI and then fax it out and as long as the centers are prepped to accept that format, I think that works. A lot of the errors we are running into, address validation problems and it’s when we submit and it hits those edits and it rejects it. If we could just email it to submit the form, then that would work. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if this CR needs to be processed as a Crossover. Connie Winston/Qwest said that there would be systems work depending how you want it. If you want to fax it that’s one thing, but if you want us to send it to IIS that’s IMA work. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if AT&T could provide some examples. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that this goes back to the address validation problem. There are situations where we pull the CSR from the Qwest backend system and the CSR has an ampersand (&). When you try to use that information and submit it through the IMA GUI, IMA has edits that don’t accept the “&” and we have to correct it when it was pulled from a Qwest backend system. Instead of having to fill out an LSOG form to fax it in, we would drop it into an email and submit it to our own fax machine with Qwest’s fax number and it would go through the faxing route. The problem is that the fax was not accepting the format of the IMA GUI, they would only accept the LSOG format. Instead of doing this CR as written with this huge LOE, we could change it to have the centers accept the IMA GUI format. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this gives you the ability to correct & and remove the '&' Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that this is one example of a work around we are trying to develop. We don’t have the ability to do this with any number of back end system edits. That example specifically is when we call in to the help desk then get the address that’s correct, we still get a reject because it doesn’t match the address on the CSR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated since this is an occasional thing, and know you’d like to continue with the LSR flow. Switching back to the QLSOG form is unfamiliar and is somewhat more difficult. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that is correct. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we can have an offline discussion about it, we were looking at having Qwest fax back the information. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that we are up against the 13.0 prioritization window and asked if we would still need to prioritize this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes because there would be systems changes. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we have an LOE for the proposed solution that we had provided to AT&T. Sue Stott/Qwest said that it is not the same LOE, we’d have to revise it a little bit because you are discussing interactive behavior. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that he doesn’t understand what the system edits are because if I’m looking for being able to download and then fax, why would edits need to be applied. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she would like the operation side to evaluate this. We do not want to implement something and do it wrong. She asked if everyone would agree to another clarification call to have IT re-evaluate and treat this CR as a late adder. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said yes. Kim Isaac/Eschelon asked if we were looking for the ability to fax in the Center. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that is a simple way of describing it, yes. The problem is when we have attempted that it has been rejected because it is the incorrect form. Kim Isaac/Eschelon said that in past years they have accepted the IMA format. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when we try to fax it only accepts a certain number of pages. The faxing option is really a roadblock as well. She also asked if other CLECs coull be involved in the follow up call. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that this would not be a problem. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if we can get it resolved with the systems folks, if the IMA system causes the problem, if the order were submitted via fax in the IMA format, I think Qwest would be required to accept that. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that Qwest is only seeing a fax from us, but for AT&T, we will be able to submit the order using our own email functionality. This should reduce the legibility rejects because we receive these via email and we won’t look for a piece of paper that could get thrown away. It seems like it would just be Qwest seeing a new format. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that it seems like there is enough interest. When we schedule the meeting we’ll include everyone and then if there are systems impacts this will be a late adder. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if you will mark the LSR for manual handling, will it still reject. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that it still rejects. We know it will happen inevitably for flow through purposes but we want to be able to circumvent. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she didn’t realize that you had edits when manual handling was marked. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we still have edits for data integrity issues. We have explored relaxing some edits, but it’s very risky to allow that kind of data into the database. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there were thoughts being given to get Qwest to correct the CSR. This is broader than the address and the corresponding CSR. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that because it’s only one account, they are not willing to push the issue. If we really escalate, they will do it, however this is a two-day interval that we have to wait on, so that delay’s our submittal. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that the status of this CR will remain in evaluation, concerning the holidays let’s give a range of dates to cover as many people as possible. Let’s wait and have the meeting before updating the CR. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that this CR will remain a System CR and we’ll have this as a late adder if there are systems impacts, otherwise it will change to a crossover.

11/19/02 Clarification Meeting SCR111102-03 Ability for Qwest to accept LSRs via the email functionality within IMA GUI.

Introduction of Attendees: Jonathan Spangler-AT&T, David Belanger-AT&T, Shonna Pasionek-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest

Review Requested (Description of Change) Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the description from the CR: AT&T would like the ability to submit LSRs to Qwest via the IMA email function. Expected Deliverable: Ability for AT&T to fill out in IMA an LSR request, provide a corresponding email address for responses and submit the LSR via the IMA email function. All responses from Qwest would be sent to the email address provided on the LSR. This would provide Qwest and CLECs an additional option for IMA system troubles other than faxing. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that a scenario would be for UNE-P. AT&T is having an issue in that the only real system workaround, when there is a discrepancy when performing address validation, is to call the Help Desk and they give the fax option. Jonathan stated that this is difficult to manage and that Qwest sometimes still rejects it because Qwest cannot read it. Other issues include jeopardy tracking and managing responses. Jonathan stated that AT&T would like to submit email’s. Jonathan stated that some advantages would be that it would be legible for Qwest and it would be make it easier for the CLECs to manage. Jonathan stated that IMA does currently have email functionality but is strictly for submitting LSRs to the IMA Help Desk to see if there are field error’s. Would like the email functionality expanded to accept LSRs. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if the request is limited to trouble situations only. David Belanger/AT&T stated would like open to all situations. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that would be a reference to production support issues within the CMP process. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if this is for production support issues or for all LSRs? Jonathan Spangler/AT&T responded that this request is for all LSRs. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the CR needs to be revised to indicate that is for all LSRs. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T agreed to send the revised CR to CMPCR@qwest.com with a copy to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at Qwest. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this would be in the IMA prioritization. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he believes so but that Qwest needs to look further into the request. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this CR would be discussed in December. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is scheduled to be presented, by AT&T, at the December Systems CMP Meeting.

Confirmed Interfaces: IMA GUI

Confirmed Products: LNP, Private Line, Resale, Unbundled Loop, UNE Loop, and UNE-P

Confirm Right Personnel Involved - All appropriate personnel participated in the clarification meeting.

Establish Action Plan - Jonathan Spangler/AT&T to present this Change Request at the December 19 Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest will provide a response by December 12.

There were no additional questions or comments.

CenturyLink Response

REVISED RESPONSE April 17, 2003 RE: SCR111102-03 Ability for Qwest to accept LSRs. Based upon additional research conducted by Qwest, the Level of Efforts for the this Change Request is 4175 - 5450 hours. This information is based on additional information provided by AT&T and the CLEC Community.

REVISED DRAFT RESPONSE December 18, 2002

RE: SCR111102-03 Ability for Qwest to accept LSRs via the email functionality within IMA GUI.

The email below constitutes a deny response for CMP request SCR111102-3 to have the ability for Qwest to accept LSRs via the email functionality within IMA GUI.

The combined systems and operational costs to implement the CR are estimated in excess of $3 million. Therefore, the reason for deny is economically not feasible.

Sincerely, Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE December 11, 2002

RE: SCR111102-03 Ability for Qwest to accept LSRs via the email functionality within IMA GUI.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of AT&T's Change Request SCR111102-03. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held November 19, 2002) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the December Systems CMP Meeting.

At the December 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

Description Of Change

IMA preorder->meet point query->Potssplitter query allows us to see if a pots splitter port is available or not, but it provides no column indicating the circuitID or telephone number being used on splitter ports that are currently in use. In some cases we have found that Qwest is still showing a POTS-splitter port as unavailable, even after we have cancelled an order. This prevents us from placing orders using this facility for new customers and is quite difficult to Track down/get out of the system.

It would be VERY useful to have another column in the output of the splitter query or splitter query by range which lists the active circuitID or telephone number (or any other identifier which would enable us to quickly track down what Qwest thinks the port is being used for) instead of just a invalid with a message of Specified device VDA.XXXXXXX.XX.XX-NNN not available.

The IMA tool for CFA validation/lookup does exactly what we’re asking for here (allows us to query based on The cable we have in a given central office and range of pairs, resulting in columns which list (among other Things) the CKTID/CLO for any pair being used. We’re just looking for the same output functionality seen In CFA queries for VDA (Pots’s Splitter) queries.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): Modify a future/next version of IMA to include a column for CKTID/CLO or equivalent in the output of the POTS Splitter Query functionality or enhance the existing last column to say Specified device VDA.XXXXXXX.XX.XX-NNN not available used by CKTID 29.XXXX.XXX.XXXX or equivalent.

Project Meetings

June 20, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that this CR is in Pending Withdrawal Status. Peggy stated that there had been communication with the CR originator, John Uhley at Complete Telecomm, and stated that due to the fact that this CR is specifically for Line Sharing and POTs, Complete Telecomm has opted to withdraw this CR. Peggy stated that this is due to the fact that effective on July 13, 2007, Line Sharing is available through a Commercial Agreement only and is no longer a product that can utilize the CMP Process. Also, based on investigation, POTs is not applicable due to the data query being part of Line Sharing, making POTs not valid for this request. Peggy then noted that this CR is being discussed for the formal withdrawal to take place. Peggy then asked if there were any questions or comments.

May 31, 2007 Email Received From Complete Telecommunications: Sure -- go ahead and mark it as withdrawn :-) Thanks John Uhley Complete Telecom/VailNet

- May 31, 2007 Email Sent to Complete Telecommunications: Good Afternoon, This email is in regard to a CMP CR that Complete Telecommunications submitted, to Qwest, in November 0f 2002. I have attached a copy of the CR. In the 5 years since this CR was submitted, there has been some changes. The CR was submitted for Line Sharing and for POTs. Effective on July 13, 2007, Line Sharing is available through a Commercial Agreement only and is no longer a product that can utilize the CMP Process. Also, based on investigation, POTs is not applicable due to the data query being part of Line Sharing, making POTs not valid for this request. Based on this information, will Complete agree to withdraw SCR110702-01? Thank you for your prompt reply. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

- April 18, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that this attachment contained the Initial Prioritization List for the IMA 22.0 Release.

She said instead of reviewing all candidates each CLEC will indicate what their top 2 candidates are. Jill said that we will also review the prioritization and ranking instructions following this exercise. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said that we will ask each CLEC what there top 2 candidates are based on the attendance list. Below are the top two candidates per CLEC in attendance: AT&T-Sharon Van Meter #1 SCR031203-02 Resolve Disconnect of Account Number #2 SCR040403-03 Support of Expedite Reason Field on the LSR Covad (via email) #1 SCR102102-1X Dual Inventory of DSL Tie Cables in TIRKs and SWITHCH/FOMS #2 SCR103103-01 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR #2 Eschelon-Kim Isaacs #1 SCR 050305-01 Bulk PIC Change Process in IMA #2 SCR032202-1 IMA GUI-PostOrder/Status Updates/Posted to be Billed Integra Laurie Fredricksen stated that she would have to get back to Qwest on there top 2 candidates.

Jill Martain-Qwest stated that we will include everyone’s top 2 candidates in the meeting minutes. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest reviewed the prioritization instructions. She said that Qwest will distribute the Prioritization Form by 5 p.m. MT on February 20, 2006. She said that the completed Prioritization Form should be submitted to cmpcr@qwest.com no more that 3 business days following Qwest’s distribution of the prioritization form. Lynn said that the total point will be calculated by the Qwest CMP Manager and the results will be distributed to the CLECs within 2 business days following the submission of the ranking and no later than 5 p.m. on February 27, 2006. Sharon Van Meter-AT&T asked if Qwest could explain how the highest point value works and how, for example, number 21 would be the top choice. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said that the highest point value (i.e. 21) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and CLECs wish to be implemented first. She said that the next highest point value (i.e. 20) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon explained that we go through this exercise to take into consideration what the other CLECs top priorities are so that as each CLEC votes they could take into consideration the other CLECs top 2 as well instead of just ranking their top 2 and then going down the list. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint asked if the ballot would have a ‘Point Value’ Column. Jill Martain-Qwest said that the ballot would have the ‘Point Value’ Column and that instructions would be included with the notification. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what the IMA 20.0 capacity was, hinting at 75,000 hours Jill Martain-Qwest said that the IMA 20.0 capacity is 7,500 hours.

-- June 14, 2005 Information Received from Jil Martain (Qwest) Jill spoke with John Uhley and was advised that he still wanted to leave the CR active because it would be a nice to have from an audit perspective. John said that this CR is not a high priority.

February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: There was no discussion on this CR.

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. The CR Originator was not on the conference bridge. There were no questions.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): 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.

-- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: There were no comments or questions for this CR.

SCR062702-06 USOC's and description by product for IMA GUI (Originated by Complete Telecommunications Inc)

Michael Buck/Qwest said that no one from Complete Telecommunications Inc is in attendance to discuss this request. He asked everyone to review the description associated with this change request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked how this would look. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that it would be listed by Product with the applicable USOCs. The status of this change request will be changed to Pending Prioritization. The LOE is provided in the CR response and the CR eligible for the 12.0 vote.

6/26/02 Clarification Meeting Request that a list of Features (USOCs) be provided by Product. The scenario described was that they wanted a list of the USOCs that would drop down after they provided the product information and when they select the particular USOC it is removed from the list. Referenced a Sprint GUI that did this.

The GUI currently provides a drop down list of the most common USOCs for Resale POTS (there are about 27). The way the GUI works is that the features are in a separate tab and the tab allows you to add features, so from the drop down list you can only choose one USOC. If you needed another USOC you would need to add another feature section.

The list of USOCs is not available for UNE-P POTS. UBL and LNP do not require CLECs to enter USOCs so this would not apply.

Description Of Change

The APOT CFA data for cable gauge information is a requirement for the Qwest TIRKS database. If the cable gauge information is not passed via the service order, it does not allow the order to flow through without manual design intervention. ALSO, IF THE CABLE GAUGE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SERVICE ORDER DOES NOT MATCH THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY RESIDING IN THE TIRKS DATABASE, THE ORDER WILL ALSO FALL OUT OF FLOW THROUGH AND REQUIRE MANUAL INTERVENTION, AS IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE INFORMATION RESIDING IN TIRKS IS CORRECT. THESE PROBLEMS could cause delays for the CLEC and an increase in costs and resources for BOTH Qwest AND THE CLEC to perform this manual work. Programming for retrieving the cable gauge information from TIRKS and passing it to the order requires multiple systems changes.

Ric,

I would like Qwest to find out why your TIRKS system has this requirement when other ILECs don't. My thought was for Qwest to use it's contacts from TIRKS user groups, or Telcordia, to determine if there is an easy way to address this. I don't think any contacts we may have would be useful in making this determination.

Mike,

At April's CMP meeting, we took an action item to contact ILECs regarding their practice of not requiring cable gauge information.

With the issuance of the Systems CR, do you still want Qwest to pursue this item. If so, could you provide the various contacts at the other ILECs that you deal with on the subject.

CLEC Change Request Additional Clarification Meeting

March 7, 2002 8:00 am (MDT) Conference Call TEL: 877-564-8688 CODE: 8973036 PC020502-1, ASR/LSR Cable Specification

Attendees: Mike Zulevic, Covad Judy Hotovec, Covad Richard Martin, Qwest Diana Rasmussen, Qwest Crystal Soderlund, Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call was made and the purpose of the call discussed

Additional Change Request Clarification Covad provided clarification that they would provide the cable name and/or cable pair number as required. They do not inventory the cable specification (i.e. cable gauge) and would prefer not to provide this. They indicated that no other ILEC required cable gauge information. They advised of past experience where the cable gauge changed and they were not aware. Qwest advised that they use TIRKS to inventory the cable information. Covad indicated that they thought the other ILECs also used TIRKS. Qwest advised that from the ASR stand point, the CLEC was required to provide the cable information if they were responsible for the cable assignment. Qwest advised that they would need to check what IMA validates in TIRKS and what is required for a partial/full flow through. It was agreed that the product type would cover UBL, UDIT and maybe Private Line, but would exclude shared loop. Qwest confirmed that the cable information is provided with the APOT and any revisions would generate a revised APOT.

Action Plan Qwest advised that they would be prepared to provide verbal options at the next CMP meeting.

Mike,

Could you please address the following questions:

1. What field(s) on the LSR and ASR do you populate with the tie cable specifications that causes the reject/delay?

2. I believe the LSR numbers you provided on our clarification call are Covad's internal LSRs. They do not appear in our system. Could you provide the corresponding Qwest LSR or PON.

Thanks

Attendees: Mike Zulevic, COVAD Richard Martin, Qwest Jeff Cook, Qwest Diana Rasmussen, Qwest Karen Krass, Qwest Laurel Burke, Qwest Bob Mohr, Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed

Review Requested (Description of) Change Mike advised that on LSRs and ASRs information requested relates to the make-up of the specific tie-cable (1.e. 22/24 ga. Or 734/735 cable). Qwest provides the cable information. If COVAD doesn’t provide the cable information, or the cable information is different than what is in Qwest’s database, their order is delayed or rejected. Qwest advised that the cable information was part of the APOT number. It was confirmed that in IMA, this is a mandatory field. Qwest asked if there was a timing issue with providing the cable specification. Mike advised that there wasn’t a timing issue, but was concerned that there is no real value for the information, since Qwest has the information. Qwest advised that the cable information is provided in the APOT. COVAD indicated that sometimes the preliminary & final do not match up. COVAD provided the LSR examples: 1773574, 1738856, and 1850263. Qwest will look into these examples to determine what the downstream impact would be if the cable specification wasn’t provided.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted COVAD advised that they would be interested in addressing any product that requires a tie cable going back to their Collo. . Confirm Right Personnel Involved Ric advised that we would need to identify another SME for this CR. The examples provided were for LSR. The SME on the call was responsible for Collo and dealt with ASRs. Qwest will identify the appropriate SME. Ric advised that if an additional clarification meeting were required, they would coordinate.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation COVAD confirmed that they would like to remove the mandatory requirement to provide the cable specifications with the LSR/ASR.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests It was confirmed that there is no corresponding Systems Change Request.

Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) Qwest to obtain appropriate SME(s). The CR will be open to the CLEC community clarification at March’s CMP Meeting.

Michael Zulevic Director, Technical Regulatory Support Covad Communications

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR #PC020502-1 Eliminate Requirement to Provide Tie Cable Specification

This letter is in response to Covad’s Change Request PC020502-1 requesting that Qwest revise its LSR and ASR requirement for providing tie cable type or technical specification (i.e. cable gauge).

The APOT CFA data for cable gauge information is a requirement for the Qwest TIRKS database. If the cable gauge information is not passed via the service order, it does not allow the order to flow through without manual design intervention. This could cause delays for the CLEC and an increase in costs and resources for Qwest to perform this manual work. Increasing manual intervention defeats Qwest’s goal to promote flow through mechanization.

Programming for retrieving the cable gauge information from TIRKS and passing it to the order would require multiple systems changes. A Systems Change Request would be required to accomplish this. If Covad would like to pursue the systems changes that could accommodate their Change Request, Qwest will open a Systems Change Request on Covad’s behalf.

Sincerely,

Crystal Soderlund Sr Process Analyst

Description Of Change

Covad is asking for a formal extension of EDI IMA 8.0 until 10.26.02. Sunset is currently set for 09/21/02.

Covad will not be migrating to 9.0, but will move directly to 10.0 by 9/7/02, which is 2 weeks before Qwest’s current IMA version (8.0) sunsets. Nightfire, our vendor, is not in a position to provide IMA 10.0 SPI software by 8/15/02 which is when migration testing should start to meet the 9/7/02 date. We just found out about this situation the first week of July.

According to Nightfire they cannot provide IMA 10.0 earlier than 9/6/02 as the Qwest interfaces will not stabilize for several weeks after their initial release on 6/17/02.

If Covad does not get the extension for 8.0 then there is a high probability that we would not be able to process orders in Sep 2002.

As agreed to in the 8/2/02 Exception call, the date for the delay will be 10/18/02 rather than 10/26/02 as originally requested.

August 2, 2002 Exception CR Emergency Call/Meeting meeting minutes

The meeting began at 11:30 a.m. MT.

Introductions Michael Buck (Qwest) opened the meeting and asked everyone on the bridge to announce him/herself. All the participants announced him/herself. Michael apologized for the incorrect phone number provided on the original notification. He noted that Qwest sent out another notification early this morning, once the mistake was discovered. Sharon Van Meter (AT&T) stated hat she did not received the notice. Terri Wicks (Allegiance) stated that he had received it. Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that Qwest sent out the notification when we recognized the error and the also sent out a targeted email to the people who normally attended the systems monthly meeting as an added precaution, He apologized again to everyone on the call for the incorrect initial notification. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked who would represent each company when it came time to vote. Michael Buck (Qwest) described the achievement of quorum. He stated that the calculation is to look at the number of attendees at the last 6 Monthly CMP Meetings (July, June, May), discard the high and the low numbers, divide the sum by 4 and multiply by 62.5% . He stated that in this case quorum was 7 carriers. He noted that there were 7 carriers on the call so a Quorum had been established. He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to address an exception CR that has been submitted by Covad. He continued that the team would be voting on whether to accept this as an exception change request and asked if there were any questions. There were none.

Michael Buck (Qwest) asked Covad to discuss their request Nitin Jain (Covad) reviewed Covad’s request. He noted that the 8.0 Sunset is currently scheduled for September 21st, and stated that Covad needs to migrate to 10.0 without going out of production. Terri Wicks (Allegiance) stated that he thought the sunset date for 8.0 was August 22nd, asked why Covad thought it was scheduled for September 21st. Cim Chambers (Qwest) stated that September 21st was the original retirement date. She explained that in April the dated was extended to September 21st. Alan Flanigan (Time Warner Telecom) asked if extending 8.0 would affect 10.0 in any way. Cim Chambers (Qwest) stated that an extension would not not affect 10.0 Alan Flanigan (Time Warner Telecom) asked how many versions can be supported in production. Cim Chambers (Qwest) stated that currently 8, 9, and 10 were in production. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) asked if there were any negative impacts to the CLECs for extending the sunset date. Cim Chambers (Qwest) stated that there were no negative impacts to any CLECs. In fact, it would be beneficial for many CLECs for various reasons: they might not be done with testing, their vendors may deliver software late or their vendors might be going out of business. Terri Wicks (Allegiance) stated that the request is asking for an October 26th sunset date and the response is showing that Qwest is offering to extend to October 18th. He asked why was there a difference in dates. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that October 18th is how far we will push out the sunset of 8.0 Nitin Jain (Covad) stated that October 18th date would work well for Covad. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked Covad to confirm that the October 18th date is an acceptable solution. Nitin Jain (Covad) stated that it was. Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that the CMP document does have language addressing the period of time allowed before the sunset of a release, and explained that this is why this was done as an exception request. He asked if everyone agreed. Terri Wicks (Allegiance) stated that he agreed. Alan Flanigan (Time Warner Telecom) stated that he just wanted to make sure that this won’t affect any other releases. Cim Chambers (Qwest) stated that this change would not affect any other releases. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if the team could move forward with voting on this being an exception request. Nitin Jain (Covad) asked Buck to explain the exception process. Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that Qwest has put together a CMP process document that it views as very important and is very interested in adhering to the process document. He explained that Qwest believes that exception is a valid request. Nitin Jain (Covad) asked if the earlier extension had to follow this process. Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that he believed that the earlier extension was completed prior to this process being agreed upon. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked each of the company representatives if they agreed to the exception CR. He asked each person to state either yes, no, or abstain. Everyone on the call stated yes. Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that Qwest will formally provide a response that codifies the date agreed to here, and asked if there were any questions on the next steps. Judy Schultz (Qwest) stated that she had a comment. She explained that this was the first time that CMP had formally executed the exception process and she thought Buck did a nice job stepping everyone through it. Michael Buck (Qwest) thanked Schultz and asked if there were any other questions? There were no other questions Terri Wicks (Allegiance) stated that he would like to say that it was nice to see a process that is working as designed. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) concurred. The meeting ended at 11: 56 a.m. (MT).

CenturyLink Response

DRAFT RESPONSE

July 24, 2002

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR072402-01EX. Based upon the scope of this CR, Qwest is able to accommodate Covad's request for a delay in the IMA 8.0 Sunset date. Qwest will extend the sunset date for IMA 8.0 to 10/18/02.

Qwest will hold an Emergency meeting to discuss the acceptance of this CR as an Exception CR. The meeting information is as follows: Friday, August 2, 2002 Time: 11:30 AM MT Location: 1801 California Street 13th Floor, Conference Room 3 Denver, CO 80202

Sincerely,

Qwest

FINAL RESPONSE

August 5, 2002

On Friday, August 2, 2002, the CMP Community agreed to handle SCR072402-01EX as an Exception under the CMP guidelines. At that meeting, Covad also agreed to amend SCR072402-01EX requesting that IMA 8.0 sunset on October 18, 2002.

Based upon CMP Community agreement to treat this as an Exception change request, Qwest confirmed on the August 2, 2002 call that IMA 8.0 sunset could be extended to October 18, 2002 and has updated the OSS Interface Release Calendar accordingly. Qwest has made the necessary arrangements to extend the IMA 8.0 sunset date. Qwest has updated the OSS Interface Release Calendar to reflect the new date.

This response reflects Qwest's formal acknowledgment of the IMA 8.0 sunset date change. Qwest will seek agreement with the CMP Community to update the status of the CR to "Completed" at the August Systems CMP Monthly Meeting.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Submitting Lineshared,Linesplit and Loopsplith LSR’s without address information. More specifically including only the name and TN in the EU contact information section.

This would reduce the number of address rejects at LSR placement. In addition to this would be using listed name and TN so if those did not match we would receive a reject for name and TN not matching which would resolve the issue of orders being delivered to the wrong location.

September 23, 2005 Email Receivedf from Covad: Peggy, Yes, we can close. Thanks, Liz

September 23, 2005 Email Sent to Covad: Hi Liz- Is this CR okay to be closed? Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

September 16, 2005 Email Received from Covad: Peggy, I’ve not forgotten this request, I hope to have a response by CMP. Thanks, Liz

September 8, 2005 Email Sent to Covad: Hi Liz, RE: SCR101802-02 Ability to submit Line sharing, Line Splitting and Loop Splitting LSR’s with TN only. (Omit address) I found a Covad Systems CR that was implemented in an IMA Release and had a bug fixed in the IMA 16.0 Release. I see notes that I was working with you, off-line, in order to close the CR, but do not show that it was ever closed. I believe that you were waiting until you migrated to the 16.0 Release in order to validate that the implementation was working properly. My question is if you have any dissent to my showing this CR as closed? I have attached a copy of the CR, for your review. Thanks, Liz, I appreciate your looking at this and apologize for my confusion. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale Change Management

November 4, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Liz, I will place SCR101802-02 in Deferred Status. Will Covad be migrating to 16.0 early or late this month? I ask as a timing issue so I will know to take out of deferred in December or January for closure. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM

-- November 3, 2004 Email Received from Covad: Peggy, Covad requests this CR be moved to 'deferred' status. The reason being, we are migrating to 16.0 this month and until then, cannot determine whether functionality is working. Specifically the bug fix that went into 15.0. Thanks, Liz Balvin Covad Communications

-- November 3, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hello Liz, Any status to the email below? Is Covad ready to close SCR101802-02? Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM

This is a follow-up to see if you have had an opportunity to check with John (Berard) to see if this CR can be closed. This CR was deployed with 13.0 and there was a bug fix with 15.0. Please let me know if the CR is ready for closure or if there are open issues. If there is a problem that is preventing closure, please advise me of the trouble ticket number and what the issue is. I will then follow-up from that end. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

We would then like to have one month to verify if the new enhancements work as designed. So I would target the October or November CMP meeting to close these two out. John Berard Director - Operations Support/Change Mgt - Covad

September 3, 2003 Email Received from Mike Zulevic/Covad: John Berard has been tracking the CRs. I'll pass this along to him and ask him to get back to you.

- September 3, 2003 Email Sent to Mike Zulevic/Covad: Good Morning Mike, This email is in reference to 2 CMP CR's submitted by Covad. They were implemented in the IMA 13.0 Release on August 4, 2003. The CRs are currently in CLEC Test Status. Can these CR's be closed? There were no issues brought forward, from the CLEC Community, at the August Systems CMP Meeting. Please advise if you are okay to close these CRs, or if you need more time to validate. If you have encountered any issues that would prevent closure, please advise me of what those issues are so we can investigate. The 2 CRs are: SCR101802-02 Ability to submit Line sharing, Line Splitting and Loop Splitting LSR’s with TN only. SCR111102-02 Abbreviated ordering information for UNE DSL. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was implemented as part of the IMA 13.0 Release. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this request was fully implemented. She noted that her understanding was that only a part of it was implemented. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that the CR was completed and noted that Liz was thinking of the N&T Loop Qual CR. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Qwest would work with Covad off-line to close this CR. There were no additional questions or comments.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would deploy in Release 13.0, on August 4, 2003.

-- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion on IMA 13.0 Packaging: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we don’t have packaging options and went right down the list. We did deploy #3 (SCR062802-09) based on the Exception Request and we used approximately 42,000 hours. I know that everyone is very familiar with these CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest found any synergies with other CRs. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if we find synergies we tell you upfront. We did not find any during this time. Beth Foster/Qwest noted that the SATE packaging is also listed on the CMP web site under the walk on section.

-- March 18, 2003 Email from Mike Zulevic: Thanks. We will watch how these changes impact our rejects. Hopefully, it will get us to an acceptable level. If not, we will initiate another CR to seek other solutions. Mike Z.

March 18, 2003 Email to Mike Zulevic and Kasie Murphy/Covad, Sharin Van Meter/AT&T, Liz Balvin/WorldCom, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: I do in fact mean House Number. Sorry for the confusion.

March 18, 2003 Email from Mike Zulevic/Covad: Thank you for reconsidering the requirement for street name. Just to be clear, your email indicates Qwest will validate on "Street Number." Do you mean "House Number" (SANO)? I also confirmed the requirements of Verizon and Bell South. For line shared LSRs, Verizon performs edits on TN and name only. Bell South edits on TN only. Michael Zulevic Dir.- External Affairs/Operations Covad Communications

- March 18, 2003 Email to Mike Zulevic and Kasie Murphy/Covad, Sharin Van Meter/AT&T, Liz Balvin/WorldCom, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: RE: SCR101802-02 Ability to Submit Line Sharing, Line Splitting and Loop Splitting LSRs with TN Only (Omit Address). Upon further review, Qwest will remove the proposed Street Name requirement from the Covad submitted Systems CMP CR SCR101802-02. The checkpoints for validation will be TN, Last Name/Business Name, and Street Number. Thank you for your participation and feedback during this morning's conference call. Please contact me at pesquib@qwest.com with any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this issue. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems

- Ad-Hoc Meeting With CLEC Community - March 18, 2003

Attendees: Sharon Van Meter/AT&T, Liz Balvin/WorldCom, Lori Langston/Qwest, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Mike Zulevic/Covad, John Gallegos/Qwest, Crystal Soderlund/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the ad-hoc call is for Qwest to explain and discuss the requirement of Surname for Covad’s submitted CR, SCR101802-02. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that a 3-point validation will ensure that we are dealing with the correct customer and stated that if we rely on TN only, the result could be a disconnect in error. The 3-point validation would be 1) last name or business name, would look for ‘Smith’, 2) house number or street name, would look for 3215 & 5 for an address of 3215 5th St., 3) location, street, etc.’ would look for Robin for an address such as Robin Rd. Crystal noted that there is a high level of urgency to ensure that the correct account is being worked with. Crystal stated that this validation would prevent an End User or CLEC from being upset that their wrong customer was pulled down in error. Mike Zulevic/Covad asked if Crystal if she could require the house number only. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that needs the house number and the street name. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked to clarify if the 3-point validation was TN, listed name, and listed address. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that Qwest needs to ensure an exact match. Mike Zulevic/Covad asked if Liz’s CR is with SANO and street name. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated no, and stated that she was advised that if the TN matched, the street name would not need to be checked. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that for DSL services, they are different types of facilities. Crystal stated that once the DSL goes down, the facilities get taken immediately. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that wanted SANO because the double check will ensure migrating the correct user. Liz stated that with the data portion, if migrate by TN & SANO, 99% of the time, a house number would be different. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she is not aware of the percentage but there have been instances with the wrong customer account. Crystal stated that if just SANO, it could be the same house number but a different street name. Crystal noted that to provide data services, a customer has to be completely pulled down and we do not want to pull down the incorrect customer. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that there seems to be a 4th validation step. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he agrees with the check-points being TN, last name/business name, street name, and house number. Crystal Soderlund stated that could possibly relax some edits to not look for location. Crystal stated that the 3-point check is TN, listed name for last name only, and listed address. Mike Zulevic stated that there are 2 types of service, stand alone data line and line shared services. Mike asked if Qwest’s desire is the same as for SCR111102-02 (Abbreviated ordering information for UNE DSL). Crystal Soderlund stated that the line share product is a different candidate and that more than 1 provider is involved if taking down a DLEC. Crystal stated that the result could be the taking down of the wrong DLEC; that is why we need to ensure it is the correct customer. Crystal stated that for UBL, we only accept the request from who ever owns the loop, so it would be your own loop. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that if a CLEC is attempting to migrate DSL, if the End User had DSL provided by Qwest, they could migrate. Liz stated that for instance, if had MSN or another IP provider, they have to disconnect DSL with Qwest before they can place an order. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that that is a different scenario, when line share is in place and changed DSL provider. Crystal noted that Qwest is getting escalation’s for disconnects in error. Mike Zulevic/Covad asked if Qwest has experienced that many problems. Crystal Soderlund stated yes. Mike Zulevic/Covad asked if they could be attributed to this situation. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she has experienced where manual LSRs or overridden LSRs. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he does not have data at hand but believes is less than 5% of the volume. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he has 2 ILECs supporting TN only and there have been no problems with the wrong customer scenario. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that when dealing with a DSL, it is a lot more difficult to put the customer back up. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that with UNE-P, we don’t pull a customer down like it happens with DSL, that is the difference. Liz Balvin/Qwest stated that SANO is in there due to Qwest’s concern. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that migrations are not a significant number of LSRs and that using only TN and the customer’s house number would provide an accurate validation. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest would drop the street name and have the CLEC provide TN, SANO, and surname. Liz stated that that should be enough validation. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she would be happy to look at that and asked why it was important to the CLEC to not include the street name. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it is another step for the CLEC reps to have to perform. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that his request is for the CLECs to provide as minimal information as possible. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest asked what other CLECs provide TN only. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated BellSouth and Verizon. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest asked Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) to contact other ILECs. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would work with Crystal regarding contacts. There were no other questions or concerns. The call was adjourned.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR will include TN, SANO and surname and stated that Covad understands the need. Connie stated that Qwest’s concern is that we really want to ensure that we are dealing with the correct customer, to prevent disconnects in error. Connie stated that the CLECs need to understand the direction for this CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked why the surname was needed. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest needs the surname to match the surname on the account to ensure that it is the correct customer. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she is not sure why it is needed as it was not needed for UNE-P. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the difference is with the product. Jill stated that there was an issue with DSL and the potential of taking someone down incorrectly and the issue is different with UNE-P. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the TN with UNE-P is with conversion and that this is adding DSL so there are a few more risks with that type of order. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he doesn’t see that there are more risks with DSL. Mike stated that he agreed in the adding of the customers last name as a compromise, he doesn’t feel that more than the TN is needed. Mike stated that other ILECs do with TN only. Mike stated that if this doesn’t get us to where we want to be we, Covad will come back and ask for TN only. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that there could be more problems if the last name is spelled wrong. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we can take this off line and talk to our business partners to get clarity around potentially causing more issues. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that misspelling has not been an issue. Jill agreed that it would be best to take off line to discuss. Mike Zulevic/Covad asked if there is a possibility of a miss match because the billing customer is different than the ordering customer. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest matches against listed name. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if we look at this offline, is there a need to have a meeting prior to next month so we don’t jeopardize delivery. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that clarity is needed because we have to package next month and if we have a strong reason for needing the name then we will have an additional meeting with the CLECs to discuss further; otherwise, we will move forward with TN and SANO.

-- February 6, 2003 Email Response to Kasie Murphy/Covad Kasie -- Thank you for your prompt response and your willingness to work with us on a viable solution. Should you continue to have problem's after the implementation of this CR, Qwest would encourage you to submit a subsequent CR. Thanks again, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

- February 6, 2003 Email From Kasie Murphy/Covad As discussed this morning you have suggested an alternate solution for our CR 108202. Our request was to have TN and Name only in order placement and the alternate solution provided by Qwest was to have Customer Last Name, SANO, Street Name, and TN. in order placement. This alternate solution is agreeable to Covad. However, we want to ensure that if after implementation and additional analysis the problems persist we will put in another Change Request or work with Qwest to determine other solutions. We appreciate your effort in trying to provide us an alternate solution for our request. Thanks Kasie Murphy kmurphy@covad.com 720-208-3043 Covad Communications

-- Ad-Hoc Meeting - February 6, 2003

Attendees: Kasie Murphy/Covad, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Jill Martain/Qwest, Joan Pfeffer/Qwest, Crystal Soderlund/Qwest

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the meeting was for Qwest to discuss the proposed solution with Covad. Peggy stated that Qwest would like to treat this CR similarly to the Covad CR SCR111102-02 (Abbreviated Ordering Information for UNE DSL. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would look to the CLEC to provide customer surname, SANO, street name, and TN. That would result in minimal fallout. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that for example: for the name of John Smith, ‘Smith’ would need to be provided; for an address such as 3215 W. 5th Street, what would need to be provided is '3215’ and ‘5’. Another example for address is an address of W. Robin Ave. ‘Robin’ would be required. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking for a solution for both CRs that would ensure both Covad and Qwest that we are dealing with the correct TN. Crystal stated that it is understood that one of Covad’s concerns is surrounding loc. vs. ste. And by going with this solution, it would really reduce the problems. This solution would also ensure that we are dealing with the correct telephone number and would help to prevent the disruption of service for Covad’s customers. Kasie Murphy/Covad stated that the proposed solution does seem to address their issues and asked if this was the same solution for the other CR (SCR111102-02). Jill Martain/Qwest responded that it is the same, except that SANO is not being used for the SCR111102-02. Kasie Murphy/Covad asked by using the street names, how does that ensure that there would be no disruption of service. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the street name would be another checkpoint to ensure that we have the correct customer and not disrupt the wrong customer, which is a Covad customer. Kasie Murphy/Covad stated that she would take the information to Mike Zulevic and stated that this could be a viable solution. Kasie stated that it would help to resolve Covad’s thoroughfare, directional issues. Kasie Murphy/Covad stated that she would analyze to see what the results would look like if this were to be implemented and advise if we can move forward. Kasie Murphy/Covad asked if this CR and SCR111102-02 would be worked together. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the 2 CR’s (SCR101802-02 & SCR111102-02) are on the 13.0 vote list, but packaging has not yet occurred. Kasie Murphy/Covad stated that she is pretty sure that this solution would work but would like to confirm with Mike Zulevic. Kasie advised that she would let Qwest know today. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Kasie to please advise via email to pesquib@qwest.com

-- December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. John Berard/Covad said that this CR is pretty much nirvana if they get it. He also said that they have implemented this with other ILECs and it works great, it eliminates a lot of work upfront.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mike Zulevic/Covad presented CR and stated that he would also like to use SANO or customer name. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that SANO was used for other product types. The status of this CR is 'Pending Prioritization.

Clarification Meeting - October 23, 2002 Introduction of Attendees: Mike Zulevic/Covad, Kasie Murphy/Covad, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Crystal Soderlund/Qwest, Joan Pfeffer/Qwest. Review Requested (Description of Change): Submitting Lineshared, Linesplit and Loopsplit LSR’s without address information. More specifically including only the name and TN in the EU contact information section. This would reduce the number of address rejects at LSR placement. In addition to this would be using listed name and TN so if those did not match we would receive a reject for name and TN not matching which would resolve the issue of orders being delivered to the wrong location. Confirm Impacted Interface: IMA EDI & GUI Confirm Impacted Products Physical Collocation, UNE, Line Sharing, Line Splitting, Loop Split Discussion: Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that when submitting an LSR by TN, if the TN contains a typo, Qwest would be able to catch if the TN does not match the customer. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that possibly could by using SANO & Name Lite. Joan Pfeffer/Qwest stated that there is a 12.0 CR, Migrate by TN, for UNE-P that will use SANO, but this is not a migration. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he was hoping could build off that. Kasie Murphy/Covad stated that when do an address validation, and working with Beth King (Qwest), she gets an address back, then the LSR gets rejected when the LSR gets submitted due to multiple addresses. Kasie stated that does not want to send the address, can send the end user name & address. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that can send end user last name or business name. Joan Pfeffer/Qwest stated that the information is available via the CSR. Kasie Murphy/Covad stated that Covad does not utilize the CSR, uses address validation. Comes down to submitting TN and name. The name should resolve name mismatches or rejects. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if this is specific to EDI and not to SATE? John stated that he would discuss with Beth King. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he wants to order as simply as he can and using as little information as he can and still be efficient. There were no other questions or comments.

-- October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This was a walk on item by Mike Zulevic/Covad. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that on submitting LSRs; how do we order service for Line Shared and Loop Shared? We are having problems with rejections caused by names that are not quire right. These then need Covad and Qwest intervention. What we’ve implemented with other ILEC is using ‘name lite’. We already know the telephone number; want to use the TN along with a surname. That has dramatically reduced rejects. An agreement would need to be reached as to which name to use. Listed name or what? Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that they have a CR for migrate by TN. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that this is for new service, not a migration. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the migrate by TN product is UNE-P. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Mike/Covad submitted this CR yesterday and requested it to be walked on today. There will be a clarification call in the future. The CMP process will be followed. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that it sounds like you are looking for this for 1FRs. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that it could be a business, wasn’t necessarily a 1FR. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that is asking for a customer surname. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he hasn’t really thought of the business aspect. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that an alternative that might be more uniform would be the TN and SANO. It would be worthwhile to have a clarification call and maybe reach some consensus. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that for her migrate by TN, let us place an order, let us do a validation on TN and SANO. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that typo’s might be the only reason for a reject. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that this CR would be discussed again next month.

Description Of Change

Covad continues to experience a significant reject rate for our UNE and Line Shared LSRs. It appears that the systems in different Qwest regions use different standards or conventions for name and address information resulting in mismatches between the Qwest CSR and the information provided by Covad on the LSR. Covad requests that Qwest modify the existing data and ongoing requirements in their provisioning related OSS to conform to a single set of standards relative to name and address requirements. If this proves impractical, Covad requests Qwest provide documentation by region of the name and address conventions used by each provisioning system so that Covad can attempt to modify it’s OSS to adapt to the regional inconsistencies.

Introduction of Attendees Mike Zulivic-Covad, John Barard-Covad, Sheila Hougeman-Covad, Sandy Caron-Covad, Jill Martain-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-Qwest CRPM

Martain-Qwest stated that after the clarification call Qwest looked and the system change and determined that it would be very large. She continued that with the current E911 conversion, there will be a lot of exceptions occurring to the requested documentation. She stated that Qwest was looking at other solutions to Covad's issue and that there might be process solutions. She asked if Covad believed that the problem was with LSR being accepted and then reject or LSR being rejected immediately. Zulevic-Covad stated that Covad was looking for a way to get LSRs to flow through and eliminate rejects. He stated that Covad was looking for a solution and that they had submitted several CRs relating to the problem. He stated that he understood that the change would be a very large effort. He continued that he wanted to work together with Qwest on a solution and that he wanted to increase flow through and decrease rejects. He then stated that Covad had experienced inconstancies between the Raw Loop Data Tool and the Pre-Qual Tool. Martain-Qwest stated that that Qwest was researching the option of changing or relaxing edits for different conversion activity. She continued that if Covad was able to provide the customer name and location then a match might be possible. Zulevic-Covad stated that Covad was not currently doing a lot of conversions, but that they hoped to in the future. He stated that they needed a solution for new orders. Martain-Qwest asked if Covad had existing CSRs. Zulevic-Covad stated that they did for line sharing customers. Martain-Qwest stated that Qwest could work with Covad to create process rules and that Qwest wanted to insure that they were not taking down the wrong customer. Zulevic-Covad stated that 99% of the orders were on existing CSRs where the customer was adding DSL or adding a data line. Martain-Qwest suggested that Qwest and Covad work together on an alternate solution. Zulevic-Covad stated that they had several CRs issued because different products provide different information. Caron-Covad stated that they have found inconstancies between the Loop Qual Tool and the Raw Loop Data Tool. She stated that they provide different answers. Martain-Qwest asked if Covad was looking for address validation or if they were looking at conditioning. Caron-Covad stated that they were looking at conditioning and that she understood that it was a seperate issue from this call. Hougeman-Covad stated that they were primary having issues with pre-ordering rejects, but that they had had problems with pre and post. She stated that she was recently on a call with Beth King-Qwest in regards to rejected orders and IMA. She also stated the difference between the Loop Qual Tool and the Raw Loop Data Tool.

Martain-Qwest asked if this proposed solution addressed just this CR or if addressed all of Covad's related CRs. Zulevic-Covad stated that he might issue a CR on the Loop Qual Tool and the Raw Loop Data Tool issue, but that he was ok with this CR. Martain-Qwest asked if Covad wanted to keep the CR open or if it could be closed or withdrawn and if Qwest could work with Covad to move ahead with the proposal for the other existing Covad CRs. Zulevic-Covad asked for a caucus with the other Covad participants. He then returned to the call and stated that Covad would withdraw the CR and work with Qwest on a solution for the other CRs. He stated that Covad would issue an additional CR for the Loop Qual Tool and the Raw Loop Data Tool issue.

Nolan-Qwest stated that the CR would be discussed in the next day's CMP System Meeting and that the status would not reflect the current information due to the distribution package already being published. She stated that Zulevic-Covad could state that his request to withdrawal the CR when it was brought up for discussion. Zulevic-Covad agreed.

Meeting adjourned.

Review of Request: Nolan-Qwest read the description as posted on the CR from Covad. She stated that the CR had been presented as a walk on during the CMP Systems Meeting on November 21. She asked Zulivic-Covad if there were any additions to the CR. Martain-Qwest asked about the discussion at the systems meeting. Zulevic-Covad stated that the CR tieded into others and that he was looking for a way to deal with mismatches. Manning-Qwest asked if Covad was having problems with validating CSRs in preordering and receiving errors OR if Covad was validating and then receiving a reject later. Zulevic-Covad stated that he did not think they were using the raw loop data tool, but he stated that he would check. Nolan-Qwest suggested that he send the information to her and she would distribute to the team. Zulevic-Covad stated that the way SCRs were populated were regional and suggested that there were region wide specifications. Manning-Qwest stated that there were differences within regions and that they were slowly converting to a standardized system with E911 and going to the postal standard. She stated that the pre-order validation tool is available.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted Nolan-Qwest reviewed the products and systems listed and asked if there were any additions.

Description Of Change

Covad continues to experience a significant (20-40%) reject rate for our UNE (non line shared) DSL LSRs due to name and/or address mismatches with Qwest databases. Covad requests the ability to use abbreviated name and address ordering information to overcome minor inconsistencies in customer information in order to achieve a higher level of flow through. Specifically, Covad proposes only the customer last name, or business name be required along with subscriber address number only (SANO). This capability should greatly reduce the number of rejects caused by "Avenue vs. Av.", "St. vs. Street", and "Thomas vs. Tom" that we are now experiencing.

Review of Request- Nolan-Qwest reviewed the change request and the current status. She stated that during the last CMP Systems Meeting (December) Zulevic-Covad had withdrawn SCR111102-01 and decided to move ahead with the proposed solutions for this CR. Nolan-Qwest then turned the discussion over to Martain-Qwest. Martain-Qwest stated that the discussion had started from the ordering perspective. She stated that Qwest had offered a proposal to make some changes in edits and that she thought the conversation should start at that point. Zulevic-Covad stated that they wanted to be able to provide as little information as possible. He continued with the option of using SANO and the company name or end user last name. He stated that this would be used when adding a second line or a DSL order. Manning-Qwest stated that she wanted to understand the products effected. She stated that the CR stated UNE-DSL. She asked if Covad wanted UNE-DAL with UNE-P? Zulevic-Covad stated that they were requesting on Unbundled Loop and also line splitting. Manning-Qwest asked if it was all unbundled? Zulevic-Covad stated yes. Martain-Qwest clarified that this change would also be used for existing CSRs and not new orders. Zulevic-Covad stated that was correct and that it wasn't an issue on new orders. Martain-Qwest asked what activity types Covad was using when submitting orders. Hoffman-Covad asked if Qwest wanted a specific list of request types. Martain-Qwest stated yes, because Qwest had edits off of activity types. She stated that she needed the request and activity type. Hoffman-Covad stated that she would send the information in an email. Martain-Qwest asked if Covad would also provide an account number with SANO and the business name/end user last name. Hoffman-Covad stated that they don't always have a valid account number up front. Martain-Qwest stated that Covad should have the account numbers. Hoffman-Covad stated that they did on some, but not all. She stated that the edits should apply to IMA EDI and IMA GUI. Martain-Qwest stated that Qwest would need the valid account number to complete the search. Zulevic-Covad asked Hoffman-Covad how often Covad did not have the account number. Hoffman-Covad stated that Covad normally had them, but not always with older disconnects. Zulevic-Covad asked Hoffman-Covad had the SANO, Account Number, and business name/last name, do we think this would work. Hoffman-Covad stated that it would help. Martain-Qwest recapped that Covad would send the activity and request types and that Qwest would continue working on the request. She stated that she wanted to ensure that Qwest was processing the order for the correct account. Manning-Qwest asked if there were any other error conditions that Covad was trying to solve. Hoffman-Covad stated there were not. Martain-Qwest stated that she did not have any other questions and stated that they would wait for Covad's examples. Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concerns. No other questions.

Meeting adjourned.

Description Of Change

Covad continues to experience false positive results from Qwests pre-qual tools when placing linesharing orders. Covad requests that Qwest provide a flag that identifies if a loop is currently a 3rd party voice line, a resale line, or has existing DSL on the line. The addition of these flags would reduce the number of rejected orders due to lack of sufficient pre-qual data.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

Add the 3 requested flags to the Bulk Pre-Qual Extract and also include in pre-qual order process. / Next software release or sooner.

Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the expected deliverables as stated on the CR form. "Add the 3 requested flags to the Bulk Pre-Qual Extract and also include in pre-qual order process. Next software release or sooner." Manning-Qwest asked about Covad's use of the pre-qual loop qual tool or raw loop data tool. Zulevic-Covad stated that the CR applied to any tool used for line sharing services. He stated that Covad was currently using the raw loop data tool. Manning-Qwest asked if Covad was trying to determine what lines were available for line sharing. Zulevic-Covad stated that it was different then loop splitting. Barard-Covad stated that Covad currently recieves a downloard file. He stated that they wanted flags. Manning-Qwest asked if they received a bulk file and asked how they requested the file. Barard-Covad stated that he did not know exactly, but that product support sends the information to Covad. Manning-Qwest asked if they had problems getting information through the CSR. Barard-Covad stated that the information was received differently then other ILECs. He stated that it was much smoother then getting the information off of the CSR. Nolan-Qwest asked Covad if there were any additions or corrections.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any additional comments and then read the expected deliverables as listed on the CR form.

Description Of Change

Revised Description of Change

Submitted 02-11-03

PC101802-1 Description of Change

Currently, Covad obtains demarc information from Qwest as part of the joint acceptance testing process. In the event that demarc in not transmitted at that time, Covad can obtain demarc info by calling Qwest’s Interconnect Group. By making demarc info available offline, electronically, Qwest will eliminate the need to staff this function and Covad and other CLECs can access that information at any time. All CLEC’s require demarc information on any install performed by Qwest regardless of the product. The CLEC itself or a Vendor will need to finish or extend the install to the customer and often cannot locate the line or circuit. The result is a call to obtain the information.

Expected Deliverable

Electronic Access to demarc information

==============

Currently, Covad obtains demarc information from Qwest as part of the joint acceptance testing process. In the event that demarc in not transmitted at that time, Covad can obtain demarc info by calling Qwest’s Interconnect Group. By making demarc info available offline, electronically, Qwest will eliminate the need to staff this function and Covad and other CLECs can access that information at any time.

2/3/05 Email Received from Covad: Peggy: SCR101802-1X Electronic Access to DMARC Information We did not have to open a trouble ticket on the DEMARC CR. It is working, so this CR can be closed. John Berard

1/24/05 Email Sent to Covad: John, SCR061303-01 Access to MLT Post Order Placement - Pre Order Completion SCR101802-1X Electronic Access to DMARC Information Just a follow-up regarding the 2 CRs noted above. At the January CMP Meeting, you stated that Covad was receiving error messages that stated that access was denied and that the user did not have the authority to perform the request. Will you please let me know the trouble ticket number that you received when you called in the problem? If you called in separate tickets for each of the CRs, please give both numbers to me. I would just like to follow-up on these internally, and need the ticket numbers so I can start asking questions. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM

3/18/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that in the February CMP System Meeting, Judy Schultz indicated that we would have additional information on the funding approval process. Susie said that we have completed research on several additional CRs and will provide status on those CRs today. Susie said that our goal is to wrap this action item up in the next couple of weeks pending our CEO’s calendar. Susie said that we intend to start looking at the next batch of CRs and figure out a process going forward. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it was Qwest’s goal to schedule all outstanding CRs. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we need to get funding approval and then work with our IT partners to get the CRs scheduled. Susie Bliss/Qwest provided status on the following CRs: SCR042303-01EX (AT&T requests that Vendor Meet (coordinated dispatch) requests for non-design POTS service be at specific times) – Targeted Implementation Date 4/4/04 SCR061303-01 (Access to MLT Post Order Placement – Pre Order Completion) – Targeted Implementation Date 12/12/04 SCR100703-01 (Provide log information in CEMR for non-design tickets as Qwest provides for design tickets) – Targeted Implementation Date 10/10/04 SCR101802-1X (Electronic Access to Demarc Information) Targeted Implementation Date 10/10/04 SCR103003-05IG (ASOG 28 Exact Upgrade) Implementation Date 3/22/04 SCR030403-01ES (AT&T requests changes to commit time to be communicated on an Event Report through the attribute “commitment time”) Implementation Date 12/12/04 SCR103003-04IG (ASOG 28 TELIS Upgrade) Implementation Date 3/22/04 SCR103003-06 (TELIS Retirement) Targeted Implementation Date 8/31/04 SCR103003-02IG (ASOG 28 – QORA Upgrade) (Targeted Implementation Date 3/22/04)

7/28/03 - The resolution will allow CLECs to use CEMR to find: - For Designed Services – any information related to demark location and binding post termination available - For Non-Designed Services – any information related to binding post termination available - The data will be available from ASAP after installation until the record ages off of the system - The data will only be available from CEMR if it exists in the current data-bases, no processes will be modified for this effort.

6/19/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the LOE for this request is 1200 – 1300 hours and we are looking to schedule this CR. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that this CR has already been discussed in great detail and had nothing new to add. There were no questions or additional comments.

04-16-03 - CMP Meeting

Buckmaster-Qwest stated that Qwest had researched the Eschelon request from the March meeting and determined that it would signifigantly change the scope and cost of the solution. She suggested that current testing had shown that 100 percent of the samples included binding post information. She cautioned that Qwest could not guarantee that information would be in the report. She asked the CLECs to evaluate the strength of the Qwest solution and submit another CR if they felt that it did not meet their specific needs. The CR was moved to development status.

================================================

03-19-03 - CMP Meeting

White-Qwest stated that an Ad Hoc meeting to discuss this CR was held on 3/17. He stated that Qwest presented a proposed solution at this meeting and, based on questions here, would present a formal response to the web after this meeting and present it at the April CMP Meeting. Johnson-Eschelon asked if binding post information would be available to the CLECs. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that binding post information would be available for POTS and designed services when it was available. She stated that the focus of this CR was on the information that was in WFA/C for designed services; primarily the location of the demarc. She stated that this database may include additional information, and that Qwest would provide all information it had. She stated that she had reviewed several examples and that all of them had the information Bonnie was interested in. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she did not want to alter this CR and would submit a separate CR if there were many instances where there was no binding post information. Buckmaster-Qwest pointed out that Qwest provides the CLECs demarc information two times, by voice and e-mail, immediately following the completion of work. Mendoza-Allegiance stated that the Qwest technicians should provide binding post information. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that the description of change for this CR did not include changing the processes for Qwest technicians. Zulevic-Covad agreed that the CR was only written to obtain access to demarc information. Thomte-Qwest asked Zulevic and Johnson if they would be amenable to opening an additional CR for this if necessary. Johnson-Eschelon and Zulevic-Covad stated that they would.

==================================================

Ad Hoc Meeting 10:00 a.m MT, March 17, 2003

Attendees Matt White – Qwest Cindy Buckmaster – Qwest Dan Busetti – Qwest Jeanne Whisenant – Qwest Dave Hahn - Qwest John Berard – Covad Rick Paine – US Link Lori Mendoza – Allegiance Liz Balvin – WorldCom Terrance Morgan - WorldCom Erica Beamus – WorldCom Jeff Gelwick - WorldCom Stephanie Prull – McLeod USA Bonnie Johnson – Eschelon

White-Qwest welcomed attendees and explained the purpose of the meeting. He asked Buckmaster to review the potential solution Qwest had identified for the CR.

Buckmaster-Qwest reviewed the issues identified on the prior Ad Hoc call and stated that Dan Busetti came up with a potential solution. Busetti-Qwest reviewed the solution. He stated that Qwest would add functionality in CEMR to meet this request. He stated that for non-design circuits, CLECs would go to the non-design services action page and select a radial button to view the demarc information. He stated that a similar process would be in place for design services.

Mendoza-Allegiance asked if this functionality would include orders that have been dispatched or only those that have not been dispatched. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that Qwest would provide any information Qwest has. She explained that there would be occasions when Qwest doesn’t have all the information. She clarified that Qwest would not dispatch just to provide information to the database. She stated that the information for Designed Services would be pulled from WFA/C. She stated that information is populated into the database by Qwest technicians at many different locations. Johnson-Eschelon stated that at the previous Ad Hoc meeting Buckmaster had stated that the times when information was not available would be rare. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that at the previous Ad Hoc call the participants discussed that the Demarc information is most important in multi-tenant environments. She stated that binding post information was ancillary to the original request. She explained that Qwest would provide all the information that it can. Johnson-Eschelon asked if Qwest would provide binding post info if it is available. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that Qwest would.

Mendoza–Allegiance asked how the information got into the database if the order was not dispatched. Buckmaster–Qwest stated that if a technician anywhere provides the information, it would provided to the CLECs. She stated that Qwest was not modifying the existing processes for Qwest technicians. She stated that any information in the databases would be available to the CLECs. She explained that POTS has a different source than the Design Services side. Busetti–Qwest stated that LMOS was the database that Qwest would be be pulling the POTS information from. He stated that this database, if properly populated, includes terminal and binding post information.

Berard–Covad asked if specials would be pulled from WFA-C. Busetti–Qwest stated that the would.

Berard–Covad asked if Qwest was setting up a separate database and if Qwest could send the information to the CLECs. Busetti–Qwest stated that Qwest would not send reports to the CLECs, but that the functionality would take a live look at the data in WFA/C and LMOS at the time of the request. Berard–Covad stated that he was happy to hear that it was a live look. He confirmed that when CLECs went into CEMR and made a request it would be live look. Busetti–Qwest stated that the information would be pulled directly from WFA/C and LMOS.

Mendoza-Allegiance asked how the data would be in these databases. Busetti–Qwest stated that it would be in the database as long as the circuit is alive. Prull–McLeod asked how long it took the technicians to update the information in the database. Buckmaster–Qwest stated that she would check. She stated that it was updated within the same workday and that the practice is to do it as soon as the work is completed.

Mendoza–Allegiance asked if the technicians would go out on the plant test date for designed services. Buckmaster–Qwest stated that she needed to check to get an accurate answer to that question.

White-Qwest asked if this met Covad’s intent for the request. Berard–Covad stated that Covad would still like the information sent to them, but that this was a good solution. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that the information is delivered to the CLECs twice for Designed Service circuits: verbally upon closure, and via e-mail within 48 hours of closure. Berard-Covad stated that was good to hear. He stated that Covad could work with that.

White-Qwest stated that Qwest would present a verbal response at the March 19 CMP Meeting and would post a written response on the interactive report following the meeting. He thanked the attendees and adjourned the meeting.

==================================================================

02-19-03 - CMP Meeting

Buckmaster-Qwest presented the Qwest response. Zulevic-Covad stated that his preference was to have the information sent to the CLECs, and his second preference was to have Qwest make the information available to the CLECs. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that she understood that this CR requested three things: 1. An electronic means of accessing information regarding the Demarc and Binding Post location - for orders that were provisioned by Qwest at the CLEC’s request. 2. The CLECs would like this information for both Designed and POTS. 3. Provided as soon as possible upon completion of Qwest’s work. There were no further questions.

==========================================================

Ad Hoc Meeting 02-07-03

Attendees Matt White – Qwest Cindy Buckmaster – Qwest Deni Toye - Qwest Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon Rick Paine – U.S. Link Kelly Hamilton – U.S. Link Karla Kaatz – 180 Communications Mike Zulevic – Covad Glenn Gill – ATG

White-Qwest announced attendees and explained that the purpose of this meeting was to allow Qwest to ask Covad some questions about the CR.

Buckmaster-Qwest stated that she thought the Covad was requesting demarc information in an accessible form so the company could route its technicians properly. Zulevic-Covad stated that this was the gist of the request. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she would like Qwest to give the demarc information including the where the cross-connect is made. She would like the information to include terminal and binding post information. Zulevic-Covad stated that he would revise the Description of Change to reflect this information.

Buckmaster-Qwest asked if the location of the demarc information was only important for large (primarily commercial) buildings. Zulevic-Covad stated that the majority of the sites they wanted demarc information for were commercial sites or large buildings, but there were some unique residential locations they also needed it for.

Buckmaster-Qwest stated that the demarc information may not be available on 100% of the circuits. Zulevic-Covad asked if the Qwest installation technicians reported the demarc information into WFA. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that she did not know. Toye-Qwest stated that the demarc information was communicated via the PTA e-mail after and order is completed. Johnson-Eschelon stated that the e-mail did not include binding post information except for T1’s. She stated that they CLECs were asking for a report that included POTS.

Buckmaster-Qwest stated that she might have to issue a response that commits to only giving the CLECs the information that Qwest currently has. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she understood that the information might not be everything the CLECs would like. Buckmaster-Qwest stated that currently the demarc information is supplied to the CLECs at two different times: verbally when the order is closed and electronically (via e-mail) within 48 hours after the order is closed.

Johnson-Eschelon stated that the real issue was the CLECs are having a problem finding demarc locations and binding post assignments. As a result, the CLECs call QCCC. She stated that completing this CR would result in a small call flow to the center. Zulevic-Covad stated that Covad calls the QCCC to determine demarc information for every order their technicians went on. He stated that he was not sure that Qwest had the complete information for every call.

Buckmaster-Qwest recapped that the CLECs were looking for an electronic method to access information on demarc and binding post locations. Gill-ATG stated that the appropriate means to communicate this information would be on the loop DLR/DSR. Johnson-Eschelon stated that the DLR is not available soon enough. Buckmaster-Qwest reviewed that the CLECs want access to the information about the physical location that Qwest did its work. Johnson-Eschelon stated that Buckmaster had adequately summarized the essence of the request. Zulevic-Covad stated that the CLECs wanted this information as soon as the Qwest technicians finish their work.

Zulevic-Covad stated that he was not familiar with the PTA e-mail results. He stated that that method of communication would not work for POTS.

Buckmaster-Qwest recapped that the CLECs were looking for: 1. An electronic means of accessing information regarding the Demarc and Binding Post location - For orders that were provisioned by Qwest at the CLEC’s request 2. The CLECs would like this information for both Designed and POTs services 3. Provided as soon as applicable after the close of the order

There were no further questions. White-Qwest and Buckmaster-Qwest thanked the attendees and adjourned the meeting.

===================================================================

01/15/03 - CMP Meeting

Moreland-Qwest presented the Qwest response. White-Qwest recommended the CR be placed in Evaluation status when it is crossed over. Johnson-Eschelon asked if a representative from IT could explain in more detail why the CR needed to be crossed over. Schultz-Qwest stated that they could. The CR was crossed over to systems with a status of Evaluation.

===================================================================

12/18/02 - CMP Monthly Product/Process Meeting

Moreland-Qwest described the CR and presented the Qwest response. Berard-Covad stated that Qwest was looking at a database but Covad was open to Qwest introducing any type of electronic means of presenting the information, not just EDI. He stated that Covad would prefer EID, however. Boudhaouia-Qwest stated that stated that Verizon doesn’t have a database and Qwest is trying to determine if there is a feasible way for Qwest to make this information available to the CLECs. Johnson-Eschelon stated that regardless of how Verizon delivers, the fact is that they do make the information available and Qwest does not. She continued that this would be a good change for all companies involved. The attendees agreed to move the CR into Evaluation status.

===================================================================

11/20/02 - CMP Monthly Product/Process Meeting

Berard-Covad presented the CR. He stated that Covad wanted electronic access to demarc information and was given that access by other ILECs. White-Qwest asked which ILECs provided this information and how they provided it. Berard-Covad stated that Verizon provides CLECs a downloadable file that contained demarc information and updated this file four times a day. He stated that the information included floor/closet/binding post or language like “northwest corner of the basement.” Schultz-Qwest asked how having electronic access to this information helped Covad. Berard-Covad stated that it allowed them to access the information at any time and that Covad was hoping to streamline the process in the future to allow JAT without a phone call. Berard-Covad stated that Covad would prefer a file be sent to them every day, but would be happy with a download. Spangler-AT&T and Johnson-Eschelon stated that they would prefer delivery as well and that this should apply to all resale products as well. The CR status was updated to Presented.

CLEC Change Request – PC1018002-1 Clarification Meeting 2:00 PM (Mountain Time) / Tuesday, November 5, 2002

1-877-550-8686 2213337#

Attendees Matt White – CRPM Minda Cutcher – Covad Brett Fesler – Qwest Neil Houston - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees White-Qwest welcomed all attendees and reviewed the request.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Cutcher-Covad reviewed the CR and stated that Covad was seeking the same information about the physical location of demarcs at customer prems through electronic means as they got when they called the interconnect center QCCC. She said an example would be to say the demarc was in the northwest corner of the basement of a building.

Houston-Qwest confirmed that Covad was seeking a physical description so the Covad Technician could find the demarc.

Cutcher-Covad stated that they currently get the information during Joint Acceptance Testing, and that she would like a means to access the information electronically. She stated that Qwest must have a database in which it records this information and surmised that to grant this request, Qwest could design a means for Covad to access that database.

Houston-Qwest asked if Covad was seeking a Web site format.

Cutcher-Covad stated that they weren’t necessarily seeking a Web site that could be accessed 24x7, just a means of getting the information electronically during normal business hours. She stated that other ILECs (Verizon and PacBell) had offered this functionality to Covad.

Houston-Qwest stated that he would work with some of his contacts at those companies to understand how they offered this information to CLECs.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted White-Qwest confirmed that the attendees were comfortable that the request appropriately identified all areas and products impacted. Confirm Right Personnel Involved White-Qwest confirmed with the attendees that the appropriate Qwest personnel were involved.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation White-Qwest reviewed the request to confirm Covad’s expectation.

Identify and Dependant Systems Change Requests White-Qwest asked the attendees if they knew of any related change requests.

Establish Action Plan White-Qwest asked attendees if there were any further questions. There were none. White-Qwest stated that the next step was for Covad to present the CR at the November Monthly Product/Process Meeting and thanked all attendees for attending the meeting.

7/22/04 Systems CMP Meeting 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.

The CR Originator was not on the conference bridge. There were no questions.

2/21/03 - E-mail notification received from Cox Communication This is a followup to our conversation earlier this week. This serves as an official notification that we would like it to be an option for CLEC or ILECs as to whether they want to receive the auto completion notices.

1/16/03 Systems CMP Meeting Delynn Ball/Cox presented this change request. Cox Communications is requesting that Qwest stop auto-completion notifications from being routed to their e-mail inbox. He also said that when they want this information they currently could access IMA on an individual case basis. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon does use the auto-completion notifications and would like Cox/Communications to revise this change request to say that this would be optional. She stated that Eschelon would support this change request if this revision were made. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that they use the auto-completions to track as well. Connie Winston/Qwest said that it would be in your best interest to update your CR to make this optional; otherwise it might not get a lot of support in the 14.0 vote. Delynn Ball/Cox Communication agreed to revise this CR. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other questions or comments. Delynn Ball/Cox Communications asked how the process works from here. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the change request needs to be updated to reflect that this would be an optional feature, by CLEC. This CR will be included in the 14.0 vote. Delynn Ball/Cox Communications said that he would update the change request. Kit Thomte/Qwest noted that the status would change from clarification to presented.

12/17/02 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Delynn Ball - Cox Communications, Deb Osborne - Qwest, Conrad Evans - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Requested (Description of Change) Cox Communications would like Qwest to stop auto-completion notifications from being routed to their e-mail inbox.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved All appropriate personnel were involved in the clarification meeting.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation Cox stated that they receive on average 400 of these notifications per day and locks up their e-mail inbox and takes resources to manage and delete files that are not needed. They feel that these notifications can be pulled in IMA on and individual case basis.

Deb Osborne/Qwest reviewed the process associated with the cycle of notifications for Cox and the history associated with PSONs. Qwest stated that they fully understands the CR submitted by Cox and there were no further questions.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests NA

Establish Action Plan Cox Communications will present this CR in the January CMP Systems Meeting.

October 21, 2002 Email from Desktop Media: Hello Peggy, Desktop Media is satisfied with the CR status as resolved. Thank you for fixing this problem. Corey Hauer Desktop Media

- October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the patch was deployed and there were no issues from Desktop Media. Unless anyone has any objection, we will update this to completed status. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that CEMR was ready to accept RSID, UNE-P would expect ZCID. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that CEMR will accept RSID and ZCID. The trouble was in a downstream system, which was fixed. ZCID is now populated correctly. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if a patch was done. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that in the downstream system we did put a fix in place. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked when that happened. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated September 27th and that there was one put in earlier. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that he was not sure how WorldCom would have an issue here. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she went to IMA training and it was mentioned that this was a problem. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that that issue has been addressed and that this has been working. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if there are any unique nuances for UNE-P when submit trouble tickets? Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that they are to be sent in as normal, the same way you send everything else. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that he would make sure the training folks understand that there are no issues.

September 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest implemented a bug fix, another bug fix is in process and the permanent fix will be implemented on September 27, 2002. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that the bug fix is for marking the difference of line splitting and line sharing. The bug fix in progress is for a functionality issue with the line share flow. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this request is specifically for line splitting and line sharing. Dan Busetti/Qwest responded, yes. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the status is now Development and on 9/27 can change to CLEC Test or can work off-line with Desktop Media to close this CR. There was no dissent, from the CLECs, to working off-line for CR closure.

September 6, 2002 Emailed investigation results for the TN examples to Corey Hauer: Hi Corey -- Here are the investigation results for the TN examples that you provided.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed confirmed with Desktop Media that the CR was for any UNE-P product and reviewed the CR description. Corey Hauer/Desktop Media - feature verification is not working for any UNE-P accounts. Get ownership error's and trouble tickets do not work when there is line splitting because the ZCID is not utilized. Dan Busetti/Qwest - Are you having problems opening trouble tickets? Corey Hauer/Destop Media - Yes, for line splitting with UNE-P. CEMR looks and evaluates if they own the POTS account. CEMR can't find that they do and an error is received. Dan Busetti/Qwest - asked for examples of 4 or 5 TNs and asked what type of error that Desktop Media was getting. Denise/Desktop Media - When they call AMSC, they also get the same error message. Dan Busetti/Qwest - Do you receive the error message when own voice & data portions? Corey Hauer/Desktop Media - Yes. CEMR does not accommodate ZCID, only RSID. Corey Hauer/Desktop Media - provided some TN's on the call: 507.663.9088, 507.377.2929, 507.373.2678, 507.373.3929. Some were CEMR issues, some were not. Dan Busetti/Qwest - asked for examples in order to do root cause on them. Corey Hauer/Desktop Media - Nothing works for feature verification and problems with the opening of trouble tickets when there is line splitting on the account. Corey agreed to email examples to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest today. Dan Busetti/Qwest - he has examples for the feature verification issue.

Description Of Change

Allow line splitting orders to be processed on the same service order as conversions to UNE-P POTS by having IMA "check" the reseller ID for a shared loop against the reseller ID for a conversion order. If the RSID or ZSID is the same, then allow the order to flow through with a shared loop converting to line-splitting with no service interruption to the end user. It might be necessary to add the Loop Service Form (to specify the potssplitter location) when the ACT = W-convert as is, V- convert as specified / DL, or Z - convert as specified / no DL. Also, adding the Loop Service Form as an option when ACT = N - new will allow line-splitting orders to be placed in conjuction with a new UNE-P POTS phone service.

Expected Deliverables: an updated version of IMA with appropriate changes.

Clarification meeting held on 4/19/02 Attendees:

Denise Duncan - Desktop Media Cory Houer - Desktop Media Mark Routh - Qwest Jerry Mohatt - Qwest J.J. Bradley - Qwest Chrystal Soderlund - Qwest Angela Stewart - Qwest

Mark opened the meeting and everyone introduced themselves.

Denise stated that Desktop Media submitts orders via the IMA GUI on one of 3 types of forms. The LSR, Directory Listing and Resale forms. There was some discussion around the CLECs issue to port a customer under the Line splitting and line sharing environments without causing an interuption is service. Cory provided the following summary: I am hopeful that the CMP process can resolve what I believe to be to parity issues inherent in the current Qwest Wholesale process for Line Splitting versus how Qwest treats it's competing retail and wholesale QwestDSL product.

Scenario A) - CLEC sells UNE-P POTS service to existing DSL customer

Qwest Retail dialtone customer has CLEC Line Sharing in place from previous LSR. Customer decides to order UNE-P POTS service from CLEC. CLEC cannot place order for UNE-P POTS conversion except by doing the following:

1. Issue LSR to disconnect line sharing knocking CLEC's end user out of broadband service - wait SI of 2 days for order to complete, then wait 48+ hours for CSR to update 2. Issue LSR to convert service to UNE-P POTS, wait SI of 2 days for order to complete, wait 48+ hours for CSR to update, customer still has no broaband 3. Issue LSR to add line splitting, wait 5 day SI

Scenario B) - Qwest Retail solicits DSL business from CLEC DSL customer

1. Qwest Retail places order to add USOC for DSL to account 2. Qwest techician disconnects CLEC line sharing and replaces with QwestDSL splitter connection

Some at Qwest would tell you that the process involves a step between 1 and 2 where the CLEC places an LSR to remove line sharing. I can tell you for certain this is not true. Qwest Retail has told customers switching from Desktop Media to QwestDSL that we needed to place an order to remove line sharing. Once Qwest Retail starts down the road of placing an order to provision Qwest DSL IMA doesn't allow us to do any order activity regarding line sharing - I have tried this. IMA says "coprovider D17 not authorized on this account" or somesuch message.

Regardless, in scenario A) my end user is without broadband for as much as two weeks, in scenario B) the customer is without broadband for a number of minutes plus whatever time the end user takes to change the CPE and computer settings.

This isn't parity - and clearly favors Qwest Retail over CLECs.

As an action item for Qwest I am looking for a process (manual or otherwise) to allow Desktop Media to sell UNE-P POTS service to our existing DSL customers without service interruption.

Scenario C) CLEC has end user orders new UNE-P POTS service and wants DSL at same time. IMA is currently unable to accomodate this - instead CLEC must do the following:

1. Place LSR for new UNE-P POTS service, wait 2-day SIG 2. Wait 48 hours to 10 days (or more) for CSR to be generated 3. Place order for line splitting, wait 5-day SIG

Scenario D) Qwest Retail end users orders new Service and wants DSL at same time.

1. Qwest enters order for new service with QwestDSL usoc as a feature

Mark indicated that Qwest will investigate these issues and provide a response back to the CLEC as soon as possible.

Discussion from the May 16 CMP Meeting: Connie Winston/Qwest presented this CR on behalf of Desktop Media. The Originator from Desktop Media was not in attendance. Connie Winston/Qwest summarized the two issues that Desktop Media has raised. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest is researching the issues to determine why IMA rejected this LSR. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if this might be a production support problem. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there may be a production support issue or it could also be a process problem. It is also possible that data was entered incorrectly on the LSR. Michael Buck/Qwest said that this CR will remain in evaluation status and Qwest will report at some point in the future.

CenturyLink Response

Denise and Corey,

As I have investigated your recent Change Request for Ordering line splitting along with a conversion, I have found the following information related to this issue. The conversion to UNE-P POTS requires a change in the Customer of Record. As you are well aware, that is done on an LSR. The account has to be established as a new ZSID account. To create the line splitting requires a second LSR. It can not be on the same LSR because these are two different Product Types and are handled in two different service centers. However, you can place an RPON reference on the second LSR that will allow the LSR to be processed as soon as the

CSR for the first LSR is established. This will allow for a much quicker processing of the line splitting LSR and minimize the service interruption. The RSID (resold account) information may not be a factor in this scenario so comparing the RSID and ZSID in IMA, as you suggested, is not an option. Qwest is preparing a document that outlines the process for submitting the two LSRs. If you have any questions about this process, Joshua Nielsen has indicated that he would be happy to assist you with this.

If you have additional questions concerning your Change Request, please contact me. We will be discussing this request at the monthly Systems CMP meeting on May 16. Concerning scenarios C&D in your memo: Qwest retail DSL does not take a DSL order concurrent with a new connect. The line must be provisioned before it can be loop qualified. This takes about three days. If the line loop qualifies, the Interval for turning up the DSL is 10 business days. The Wholesale Resale and UNE-P DSL products follow the same process.

In all cases, Qwest Retail and Wholesale orders are processed using the same procedures and the same Standard Intervals apply to both types of orders.

I hope this is a satisfactory response to your questions. If not, I will try to get whatever information you need. Please let me know.

Thank you.

6/11/02 Letter to Desktop Media:

Corey and Denise,

Qwest has been investigating your request to be able to order Line Splitting along with a conversion. As you know, Qwest was under the assumption that this could be done using the existing systems and processes. However, with your assistance, we discovered that there is a bug in the system that prevents this transaction from successfully completing. As a result, Qwest is working on repairing this problem and plans to implement the fix in the IMA 10.01 Release that will be installed on August 18th. We will contact you at that time to see if the functionality is working to your satisfaction.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Mark Routh

Corey and Denise,

On Friday 7/12/02 during the maintenance window in the evening, Qwest will install a patch to the IMA system that should allow you to order line-splitting along with a conversion. Please feel free to test this system change anytime after this weekend and let me know if the updated process satisfies your business requirements.

Thank you.

Mark Routh

Description Of Change

Taken from CR 30212:

UNE-P PAL is a new UNE-P product providing the equivalent functionality of the Qwest Basic Public Access Lines (PAL) product and breaking it down into its unbundled elements for billing purposes. A Basic PAL line is a ‘dumb’ line to which the customer connects a ‘smart’ pay telephone. The smart pay telephone contains a microprocessor that is programmed to provide coin control signaling, including coin collection and coin return.

Qwest Retail and Resold PAL Service is provided for use by Independent Payphone Providers (IPPs), Payphone Service Providers (PSPs), and COCOT (Customer Owned Coin Operated Telephone) customers, allowing them to place their own coin or coinless public pay telephone instruments on the PAL line. The UNE-P PAL product makes this similar PAL functionality available to UNE-P CLEC customers.

Currently several UNE-P CLEC customers are required to manually create and submit several hundred UNE-P PAL requests each week. Manual creation and submission of requests is more labor intensive for these UNE-P CLEC customers and may allow for a greater number of errors to exist in the request, resulting in more rejects and re-work of the requests. Adding the UNE-P PAL product into IMA will allow for the mechanized creation and submission of these requests. Mechanized IMA processing is currently available for the Retail and Resold PAL products and adding this new UNE-P product into IMA will allow ordering parity for the entire line of Qwest PAL products.

CLECs may order new UNE-P PAL combinations or convert preexisting Qwest Retail or Resold PAL services to UNE-P PAL.

UNE-P PAL consists of the following unbundled network elements:

* 2-Wire Voice Grade Analog Loop

* Analog Line Side Port Switch

* Shared Transport

Original Description:

Request is to have full order capabilities through IMA for Coin UNEP Products.

Steve,

The reason for my e-mail is to determine if you still have an interest in keeping the attached change request open. Your change request has gone through several prioritizations and has not been ranked high enough by the CLEC Community to be voted into any IMA Releases. In addition, Ernest Group no longer participates in the Monthly Change Management Meetings.

Please let me know if you would like to withdraw or keep this CR open and I will take the necessary steps.

Thanks,

Lynn Stecklein CRPM - Systems 303 382-5770 Lynn.Stecklein@qwest.com

July 22, 2004 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.

The CR Originator was not on the conference bridge. There were no questions.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. Wendy Green/Qwest said that Qwest submitted a similar CR and we withdrew ours and Ernest Group kept theirs. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if this was something Qwest supports. Connie Winston/Qwest said no, this is just something that we’d opened long ago.

Mark discussed the fact that this CR is the same as an existing Qwest initiated CR (30212) and pointed out the fact that it had been prioritized in IMA 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0 but had fallen too low to be completed. He mentioned the fact that all of the business requirements have been completed for this request. Mark noted that Qwest would like to Withdraw the existing Qwest initiated CR and allow the Ernest Group CR to continue as the representative of this request. This decision was based on the fact that as a CLEC initiated CR, it may get a higher prioritization than the Qwest initiated CR has gotten for the past 3 releases. Steve asked how the prioritization process worked. Mark briefly described how the prioritization process works. He added that he would be available to answer any questions that Ernest Group had concerning the process. Eric also noted that he would be available to help Ernest Group with any aspect of the process. Mark asked if there were any additional questions or comments. There were none. Mark thanked everyone for participating and the call was concluded at 8:20 a.m. (mountain)

Discussion at the September CMP Meeting:

Mike Buck/Qwest—presented this CR on behalf of Ernest Group who was not in attendance. In the clarification call it was determined that this was a duplicate of Qwest initiated CR 30212. 30212 had gone through prioritization numerous times and was ranked very low. In the call, the thought was that a CLEC initiated CR might be prioritized higher, so Qwest agreed to withdraw their CR to let this one move forward. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this is one of the LSOG issues Qwest presented Connie Winston/Qwest said no. This CR was to add UNE-P PAL. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if it is currently being ordered via fax or some other manner. Connie Winston/Qwest said it is ordered via IIS. Mike Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other questions. There were none. This status will be changed to Pending Prioritization for IMA 13.0 and Qwest has provided the LOE in the CR response.

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest leaves a "Time and Materials Invoice" with its retail customers during a repair visit when the trouble was not found in the Qwest network. Qwest does not supply anything to CLECs. This "Invoice" would assist Eschelon in reconcilling its bill. Eschelon asks Qwest to develop, document and train an adhered to process to supply CLECs with this same "Invoice" or something similar, with the same detail, that will state the charges that Qwest plans to bill at the time of the repair visit. The "Invoice" should contain the Qwest repair ticket number, the number or circuit ID which was reported in trouble, the customer's name and address, the Qwest technicians name and telephone number, the date, the USOCs that Qwest will bill and the quantity of each USOC.

Additional Information:

A process to supply CLECs with an "Invoice" of repair charges at the time of the repair visit.

3/6/03 - Contacted Kathy Stichter/Eschelon regarding Qwest developing a Web Tool to provide this information stead of sending the ticket information via e-mail. Kathy raised three concerns: 1. Don't want to have to apply for another Digital Certificate and asked if they could use there existing certificate. 2. Eschelon would have to look at tickets pro-actively. 3. How often would web be updated with ticket information. Kathy also indicated she would be on vacation until March 24, 2003 and would not be able to provide an answer until that time. 3/3/03 - Talked with Kathy Stichter/Eschelon regarding the description of change. Per Kathy ok to revise the description to remove any reference that Qwest will provide the cost or the total cost of each USOC.. Eschelon agreed that they will identify the rates and total cost associated with each USOC.

1/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that this Change Request is in design. Dan stated that we are providing an updated LOE but it is still not scheduled. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if we would have the implementation date in the February Systems CMP Meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we could work towards that.

Introduction of Attendees: Kathy Stichter, Eschelon, ILEC Relations Manager Dan Busetti, Qwest, Lead IT Analyst Craig Suellentrop, Qwest, 271 Network Technical Regulatory Roszan Jarman-Konkel, Qwest, Lead QA Engineer Justin Sewell, Qwest, Software Development Engineer Peggy Esquibel-Reed, Qwest, CRPM

Meeting Purpose: This CR was crossed over from a Product & Process CR. Additional clarification is needed form a systems perspective.

Review Requested (Description of) Change: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that when Qwest goes out for repair for a Retail customer, there is a Time & Material invoice left with the customer to advise what will be billed. They leave an RG25-0015; she has a copy of one that was provided to her from one of her customers. Eschelon requests the same type of information provided to them before the charges are billed. Eschelon can then review the information for possible disputes and can check into subsequent tickets. Eschelon is requesting this information prior to the bill. Once is on the bill, is very time consuming to find the charges and to determine if the charges are applicable.

Discussion: Dan Busetti/Qwest asked what type of information is she seeing on the RG25-0015. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated the ticket number, customer address, city, state, billing telephone number, customer name, check box for installation visit or repair visit, technician’s name, total labor hours & minutes, list of USOCs, USOC description’s, quantity, cost, and total lines. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked if Eschelon’s request was for Maintenance & Repair charges. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon responded yes, repair only for designed and non-designed services. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked what information Eschelon needs. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated ticket number, customer BTN or circuit ID, whatever trouble was found on, USOC, quantity, labor hours, and what is being billed for. For non-designed, it would be a TIC and designed would be dispatch & increments of time charges. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked - how soon do you want the information? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon responded - immediately. The information is left for Retail on the premise as the technician is leaving. Is thinking a daily report. Dan Busetti/Qwest - immediately or the day after? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - yes, the day after would work. Dan Busetti/Qwest - how do you want to receive the report? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - via Email. Dan Busetti/Qwest - someone will be looking at the form and do the compilations? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - yes, I will be doing that. Dan Busetti/Qwest - do you want the Eschelon ticket number? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - Ideally, yes. Dan Busetti/Qwest - a report the next day would be okay, would get Tuesday’s work on Wednesday? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - yes, that would be okay. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked Craig Suellentrop/Qwest if he missed anything. Craig Suellentrop/Qwest stated that Dan captured the key issues. Craig stated that it could differ by CLEC and/or by state. Craig asked for verification that the CLECs would get their own rates. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated yes, does not expect Qwest to provide the rates, only the increments. Craig Suellentop/Qwest stated that the CLEC ticket number is contained in CEMR Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that on the report, it would be received the next day with the Qwest ticket number, possibly the CLEC ticket number, circuit ID or WTN, date of dispatch. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - the WTN would be better than the BTN. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked Craig Suellentrop/Qwest if general information regarding the Maintenance of service charge is left with the End Users. Craig Suellentrop/Qwest stated he believes so but will verify for Dan.

There were no other questions or comments. The meeting was adjourned.

DRAFT RESPONSE for PC070202-1 For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at August’s CMP Meeting

Kathy Stichter ILEC Relations Manager Eschelon

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR PC070202-1 “Time and Material Repair invoice process.”

This CR states that “Qwest leaves a ‘Time and Materials Invoice’ with its retail customers during a repair visit when the trouble was not found in the Qwest network.” The CR requests that Qwest “supply CLECs with this same ‘invoice’ or something similar, with the same detail that will state the charges that Qwest plans to bill at the time of the repair visit.”

Qwest does leave a Time and Materials Invoice with retail customers when a repair dispatch will result in a charge. This invoice is informational in nature. The technician that is dispatched leaves it at the premises. The actual bill (for both wholesale and retail customers) is generated through automated systems and manual processes that occur when a technician closes a trouble ticket. Qwest does not have a billing relationship with CLEC end-users; therefore, Qwest’s process is to not leave invoices with CLEC end-users. CLECs may use electronic maintenance and repair systems (CEMR) to view trouble ticket history as it appears in Qwest’s systems. This information would be valuable in disputing or substantiating repair charges.

Qwest does not have an organization that is responsible for collecting and distributing these invoices. Qwest believes that a systems CR should be opened to generate an automated report that would provide CLECs with data regarding maintenance and repair billing in the timeframe requested. A meeting will be scheduled for late August to discuss CR’s involving maintenance and repair billing, including this CR. Further clarification and direction for this CR will be determined after this meeting.

Sincerely,

Craig Suellentrop Staff Advocate, Policy & Law Qwest

Description Of Change

Currently on the BillMate MONSERV file Qwest uses its MAN number associated with the monthly charges. Eschelon uses the circuit ID to identify and validate individual billing USOCs. It does not use the Qwest MAN number. Eschelon asks Qwest to populate a column within the BillMate MONSERV file with the circuit ID that is associated with the individual monthly charges. This request is for the state of Minnesota.

Expected Deliverable:

BillMate MONSERV files will contain a column identifying each monthly service charge.

Project Meetings

January 19, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that this CR could be closed.

- December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR is related to #18 SCR121603-01 (Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on all Billing Media in the Eastern Region) and #8 SCR060402-04 (BillMate to include CKT ID and date of Qwest dispatch for TIC, MOS, Dispatch and Optional Testing charges). Jill stated that these CRs were deployed on December 2, 2004 and will remain in CLEC Test. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she would like these CRs to remain in CLEC Test to validate their bills.

-- COMMUNICATOR EXCERPT: Announcement Date: November 15, 2004 Effective Date: December 6, 2004 Document Number: SYST.11.15.04.F.02306.CRISEastChgCircuitID Notification Category: Systems Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CRIS Courtesy Notification-Circuit ID change for Eastern Region Associated CR # or System Name and Number: Qwest CR # SCR 121603-01; CLEC CRs # SCR 060402-04 and SCR082902-01

On December 6, 2004, Qwest will implement changes to the CRIS system. The changes affect CRIS functionality in the Eastern Region, and are systems-related, but do not have a corresponding coding-impact on the customer side. Qwest is sending this notification as a courtesy to let customers know about the change and its effective date.

Details of the change: Beginning December 6, 2004, Qwest will remove the trailing zeros from the circuit ID on the CRIS bill. The result will be that the circuit ID will now match the circuit ID as represented on the Customer Service Record (CSR).

Example: Previous representation of the circuit ID on the bill: 77ZZAA11111000NW Circuit ID on the CSR: 77.ZZAA.11111..NW

New representation of the circuit ID on the bill: 77.ZZAA.11111..NW Circuit ID on the CSR: 77.ZZAA.11111..NW

Change affects Eastern region only.

-- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a fix went in on March 13, 2004 and was notified. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this Action Item could be Closed. There were no questions or comments.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the circuit ID appeared until July 2003. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it looks like this is an impact only to Eschelon and noted that Qwest is looking into the root cause. Connie stated that Qwest would work with Eschelon directly and would continue to update Eschelon.

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 noted that the status of this CR is that it is being reviewed at the Qwest CEO level.

There were no questions or comments.

January 27, 2004 Email sent to Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Hi Kathy, I received your question and examples regarding Circuit ID on MONSERV File. I have sent it onto IT and will provide you with a status once the research has been completed. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems 303.382.5761

- January 27, 2004 Email received from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: It was brought to my attention that the amounts on the Monserv file in BillMate do not show the corresponding CKT ID. This trouble is appearing on our UNE Loop BANs in Arizona, Colorado and Utah only. Eschelon issued the CR SCR082902-01 and at one point Qwest did supply the CKT ID. After some investigation I found that the CKT ID identifier went away on our July 2003 bills. This CR is still open because of the zero fill issue with the MN CKT IDs. Please investigate and let me know what caused the change in July 2003 and when Qwest expects this to be fixed. I have attached a copy of one of our BANs per state. The attachments should not be shared outside of Qwest. Thanks, Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst Eschelon Telecom, Inc

- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that this was discussed earlier with SCR060402-04 and that the action item was ok to close Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon agreed to close the action item.

- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is still evaluating this CR. She stated that we do not have a date or solution on the zero fill issue and would like to keep this CR open. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon requested that this CR be changed from CLEC Test to Evaluation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we wanted to make sure that this CR remained visible and that we would change the status to Evaluation.

- October 24, 2003 Email Received from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Subject: MN CKT ID Zero fill I committed to providing a response on whether Eschelon agrees the CR (SCR082902-01) requesting the CKT ID on the MONTSERV should be closed. Qwest said it was willing to open a new CR to address the zero fill issue. Eschelon submitted this CR because Eschelon needed Qwest to provide CKT ID information on the bill Qwest sends Eschelon to validate Qwest charges. Eschelon believes this information is critical and Eschelon should be able to verify what Qwest is charging us for and believes the information should have already been provided to us. Eschelon has met internally and believes our business need was clearly communicated to Qwest during clarification calls and through the course of working this CR. When Qwest orders a CKT from Qwest, Qwest provides a CKT ID to Eschelon on the FOC. That CKT ID is then populated in internal Eschelon systems and appears on the Qwest CSR Qwest posts for that CKT ID. When Qwest provides the CKT ID on the FOC for Eschelon to populate in its systems, Qwest provides an standard CKT ID format that does not include the "zero fill" rule. However, when Qwest sends the CKT ID on the MN bill, Qwest does not use the same format for the CKT ID as it does on the FOC. Eschelon is then unable to compare the CKT ID on the bill to the CKT ID Qwest sent to Eschelon on the FOC. Eschelon asks that Qwest provide the CKT ID on the MN bills for the Eastern region in the same format Qwest sent on the FOC. Eschelon needs consistent data to validate Qwest charges. Eschelon does not feel it should have to close this CR because Qwest was clear on what Eschelon needed. Qwest should provide consistent CKT ID information on all communication. If Eschelon had known the CKT ID Qwest would provide on the MN bill had zero fills and would not match the CKT ID information Qwest sends on the FOC, Eschelon would have requested Qwest provide consistent data when Eschelon submitted the CR. Not only did Qwest not disclose the CKT ID would be different, it was Eschelon that told Qwest the CKT ID information was not consistent. Please let me know if you require an ad-hoc call. Thanks, Bonnie J. Johnson Director Carrier Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

- October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is still open for the zero fill in Eastern region. Connie stated that Qwest did deliver code that this CR requested and that the unique condition has existed for a long time. Connie asked if this CR could be closed and that Qwest would open a new CR for the Eastern Region only situation regarding the zero fill uniqueness. Connie stated that this is being requested due to the fact that the requested functionality was delivered. Connie noted that this specific issue could be better tracked with its own separate CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she will discuss off-line with Kathy (Stichter/Eschelon) and will advise Qwest. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she understands what Qwest wants to do and that Qwest is providing the business rules. Kathy stated that she and Bonnie would discuss. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a call could be scheduled, if needed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would advise if a meeting is needed. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR would be closed off-line if a new CR is opened.

September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the zero fill rules work and that they do apply. Lynn stated that she would like Eschelon to re-look at this. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she would do that but that it is still not on the bill correctly. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon does not have an automated process and that Eschelon would like the circuit ID to appear on the bill. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that at the August Meeting, Integra stated that they had an automated process and noted that Qwest has not heard from them. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is determining what the Level of Effort would be and what it would take. Lynn asked Eschelon if they would open a CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this is a bug. Bonnie stated that the CR asked for the Circuit ID on the bill. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she would re-look at the CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would be happy to have another call if it is needed. There were no other comments or questions. These Action Items are closed. The CR remains in CLEC Test.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Eschelon provided examples of issues on the rules that were published. Lynn stated that Qwest is reevaluating and will revise the rules. Lynn noted that this CR would remain open. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she appreciated the interim period effort in providing the rules, but that the job aid is only a temporary fix. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the rules explain how circuit Ids are parsed which should resolve this Action Item. Lynn stated that if the CLECs are now asking for a format change for the Circuit ID, it would require a CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the CR was submitted to ask for information and stated that she has looked at the 6-page job aid. Bonnie stated that she appreciated the effort in describing the rules but that the expectation is still that Qwest will provide accurately. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon agreed with Bonnie (Johnson) and stated that she said that she has alot of background with circuit ids and stated that she had to read the business rules several times and still found them confusing. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she might have had a misunderstanding of what the CLECs do in the process. Lynn asked if the CLECs take the rules and mechanize the process, or if the process was manual. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that it is all manual. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest will continue to work on the rules and will look to see of it is feasible to change the system and what that would entail. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they could go back and look at whether they could create a mechanized solution to use the business rules as well. Bill Littler/Integra stated that he would also look at the rules. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest will determine the feasibility of making any system changes and noted that sometimes those changes can be very large. Lynn also stated that we would look at the rules and possibly schedule a meeting for further clarification. There were no additional comments or questions.

-- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discsussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there are rules that can be provided and Qwest is determining how best to provide those rules. Lynn noted that Qwest is working to get them out and stated that the Action Item on this would remain open until the rules are provided. There were no questions or comments.

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Beth Foster/Qwest stated that there is a trouble ticket, 49360, opened by Eschelon and stated that Eschelon was contacted and agreed open a new CR. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that spaces are zero filled but is something she can work with. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the request was to get the Circuit ID, and if MN information is not the circuit ID, this requested is not fulfilled. Bill Littler/Integra stated that they need to pull out the zeros or it looks like multiple circuit Ids. Bill noted that Integra has only felt it in Minnesota. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that an action item would be created to see what is driving the zero fills and to explain why. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the CLECs need to know in which instances there is zero filling. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that some circuit ID’s do actually end in a zero and with zero filling cannot determine if the zero is to be kept or removed. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we need to see if there are specific rules for MN. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated yes and asked that the rules be provided so the CLECs know how to handle the situations. Bill Littler/Integra stated that zero’s at the end of a circuit ID can be meaningful. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if this CR could be closed and an action item opened. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would prefer that the CR remain open until this is resolved. There were no additional questions or comments. This Cr will remain in CLEC Test.

-- May 22, 2003 Email received from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: I called the Qwest Wholesale Help Desk today to open a ticket on the formatting of the CKT ID in the MONSERV file for MN. The ticket number is 49360. This is just for your info. Thanks Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst

- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that fillers are being used for Minnesota and that is causing problems when trying to look up circuit id’s. Kathy asked if the fillers could be removed. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked Kathy (Stichter) to call in a trouble ticket so Qwest can track the issue. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon agreed to open a trouble ticket and asked that this CR remain open. This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

-- April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there is a trouble ticket open on this that is currently in date TBD, so this CR will remain open. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she had contacted the CRPM on this issue and when the event notification came out it stated that Qwest found the problem with no CLECs reporting. Kathy asked if that was because she did not call the Help Desk. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated yes and recommended that if a CLEC encounters problems to contact the Help Desk. Lynn stated that the CLEC could call the CRPM but to also simultaneously to call the Help Desk to report the trouble. Lynn noted that if the CLEC does not open the trouble ticket, it tracks as Qwest initiating the trouble. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said ok.

April 4, 2003 Email sent to Kathy Stichter at Eschelon: Kathy -- There was a trouble ticket opened for this issue, 6195387, on April 2, 2003. The Event Notification was sent on 4/2. I'm sure you've seen it but will attach a copy....just in case. This ticket currently has a Sev 3 and is TBD. Peggy Esquibel-Reed CRPM -- Systems

- March 28, 2003 Email received from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Peggy, I have had a chance to check all of our February MONSERV files to verify that the CKT ID is populated. It is populated in each of our states. The only issue is in Minnesota. The CKT ID is showing as 303 instead of just using the 3 for the state code. Can this be fixed? Please let me know. Thanks.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon noted that Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) is on vacation and will address in the April CMP Systems meeting.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Eschelon has not yet had the opportunity to validate, so this CR will remain open and look to close in March. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the bill dates are not until the end of the month, so Eschelon would like the CR to remain open another month.

-- January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CMP CR is targeted for implementation on February 3, 2003. There were no questions or comments.

-- November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the level of effort for this request did not change with the inclusion of all states and all products. The action item was closed.

- September 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon reviewed CR and stated that the request is for Minnesota only. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked why the request is only for MN. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that is already in all other Eschelon states, just not in MN. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon does not do business in all of Qwest's 14 states. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the request and that the LOE and response are provided in the CR. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T state that there is an impact to other states. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that is hearing that the CLECs would like the states broadened. Asked Eschelon if they wanted broadened, if yes Qwest would meet the need. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Eschelon could include other states in their request or another CR could be submitted. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that is okay to remove the state specified on the CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked which circuit ID is being requested. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon responded, the Qwest circuit ID. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that Qwest does provide the circuit ID on PLTs. This CR would provide for Unbumdled Loops. Couls provide for all 14 states, for all products. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that as Qwest updates the LOE, we will bring back to CMP.

-- September 4, 2002 Clarification Meeting - Attendees: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Dennis Martinez/Qwest Confirmed: Billing for Unbundled Loop & EEL Products Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - This request is for the state of Minnesota only. The MONSERV file contains information for all other states. Dennis Martinez/Qwest - Is this request also for the Private Line Products? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - No, is for Unbundled Loop & EEL Products which are designed services. Carl Sear/Qwest - stated that the circuit ID will be populated on all products that have circuit ID's, may not be able to do for just specific products. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - that's okay with her. Dennis Martinez/Qwest - the information will need to be put on the bill in order to get to the MONSERV File. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon - stated that Qwest can give more than what has been requested. That would be okay as long as she gets what she has requested, the Circuit ID on the MONSERV File. There were no other questions or comments.

Michael Buck/Qwest introduced the exception request SCR090302-01EX (Eschelon is requesting that the sunset date of IMA 10.0 be extended). Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon was seeking to treat this change request as an exception due to an internal system upgrade required to move to 11.0 they are asking that the sunset date of 10.0 be extended for as long as the hardware allows but no sooner that July 18th. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also said that the date is available leaves no time for testing and implementation of the upgrade. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the change request is clear and need to vote as an exception. He also stated that Exception language was changed in redesign but agreed this would be voted on under the previous guidelines. Michael Buck/Qwest also said that no e-mail votes were received. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner asked if this change would impact any other dates (i.e., 11.0, 12.0) Wendy Green/Qwest said no. Bob Carias/NightFire asked if this change would impact recertification. Wendy Green/Qwest said that the dates would be adjusted to reflect the retirement dates. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed the Quorum calculation. The quorum required for vote was determined to be carriers. Ten (10) carriers were present, resulting in a quorum. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed that a yes vote means that you are voting to request that the sunset date of 10.0 be extended. A ‘no’ vote means that you are voting not to extend the 10.0 sunset date and an ‘abstain’ vote means you are choosing not to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Following are the results of the vote: Allegiance – Yes AT&T – Yes Covad – Yes Eschelon – Yes McLeod – Yes Qwest – Yes Time Warner – Yes U S Link – Yes WorldCom – Yes Z-Tel – Yes

The vote was unanimous to extend the sunset date of 10.0. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the disposition notice, vote tally and the meeting minutes will be sent to the CLEC Community within the notification guidelines. In addition, the OSS calendar will be updated to reflect the revised date. There were no other questions or comments.

Eschelon CR Clarification meeting Held on Thursday, September 12, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Conference bridge 1-877-560-8688 ID 5282369 For CR # SCR090302-01

Attendees: Terry Wicks - Allegience Telecom Mark Routh- Qwest Cim Chambers- Qwest Michael Buck- Qwest Deb Osborne- Qwest Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon Beth Foster - Qwest Jana Harmon - Qwest Randy Owen- Qwest

Mark Routh-Opened the meeting and described that the purpose of the call was to review/clarify a CR from Eschelon. Mark read the title/description of the CR.

Bonnie Johnson -Stated that she had learned a lot about this on yesterday’s call (the WorldCom Exception call on 9/11/02). She added that she and Mark Routh had talked earlier and Mark told her that he thought they would not be able to go out as far as August 18th as had been requested.

Michael Buck -Stated that we can not look at this CR in a vacuum, the WorldCom CR has some obvious implications on Eschelon’s request as explained yesterday. However, he did think that we could make some headway by considering the various possible things that might happen. For example, if we assume the WorldCom CR is not successful and the current schedule did not change, it’s his understanding that Qwest would be able move out the IMA 10.0 sunset date to July 18, with some pretty firm definition at this point. Qwest anticipates obstacles to pushing the date beyond July 18.

Terry Wicks -Stated that July 18 is good for Allegiance, but it’s more critical for Eschelon. As far as Allegiance is concerned, they are not going to IMA 11.0 because there’s nothing in it for them, they are going to go straight to IMA 12.0, so an extension to July 18th would work for Allegiance.

Bonnie Johnson - Replied that as far as Eschelon is concerned, the reality is that they will take whatever they can get and make it work. She added that if Eschelon can get out further, that would be great. She asked at what point Qwest would have a firm date on the sunset of IMA 10.0.

Michael Buck - Replied that Qwest is trying to firm up the date. Clearly, the final outcome of the WorldCom bears in the decision.

Randy Owen - Stated that he believed Qwest can get to July 18 with minimal obstacles.

Bonnie Johnson-Replied, ok, so we are assuming July 18 and attempt to get further out if at all possible.

Randy-Explained that it’s the same constraints that Qwest spoke of in yesterday’s WorldCom call. There are many things that drive the date: hardware platforms, training, schedules etc. These were discussed on the WorldCom call. He stated that until the schedule variables are firmed up Qwest can’t make further decisions.

Michael Buck-Stated that if the WorldCom CR is successful, Qwest will not be able to extend the sunset date but in fact it will be retracted to the March time frame as Jeff Thompson had discussed during the WorldCom call.

Mark Routh -Asked if there were any other questions.

Bonnie Johnson -replied that she didn’t think so, and asked if there were any other impacts to Eschelon or any other CLECs.

Randy Owen-Stated that usually there are no negative impacts by taking a date further. He added that extending the sunset date will not place any CLECs at an advantage or disadvantage.

Michael Buck-Explained that if there were no other questions about technical or functionality issues, that the group needed to address this CR from a procedural standpoint. He reviewed the area in the CMP Process document where it mentions the sunset date. He clarified that in order to deviate from that language it requires an Exception process. He mentioned that while it seems to be more of a formality, Qwest is interested in following the process.

Bonnie Johnson -Replied that she had no problem with that.

Randy Owen-Stated that out of CMP Process language comes the OSS release calendar, and that once Qwest publish that calendar any change to those dates would be an Exception

Terry Wicks - Stated the he agreed with that, and added that in this case, the CLECs and Qwest are only altering a timeline so it only requires a 2/3 vote.

Michael Buck-Clarified that the group addressed that during the WorldCom call on Wednesday and from a Qwest view, the timelines are the timeline graphs that are in the document. So whether this is a time line change is a gray area. He added that from his perspective though, this is more of a formality for this CR. He thought that the process should be a collaborative one but he thought that the group should keep it in line with the unanimous voting process that was used for similar situation with the Covad CR. He pointed out that in Section 8.0 of the CMP Process it states that Qwest will support the previous major Interconnect Mediated Access (IMA) EDI release for six (6) months after the subsequent major IMA EDI release has been implemented.

Bonnie Johnson-Reiterated that there is impact with the WorldCom CR on this and asked if there would be a vote on WorldCom before this would be decided.

Michael Buck-Explained that his dilemma as CMP Manager was the timing. If the group agrees that this is an Exception, then he proposed that the group work together on figuring out the right solution. One workable option is that Eschelon could resubmit it as an Exception. Then, upon receipt of the revised, exception request, Qwest could follow the process for an exception CR. He described the steps for following the process. Again, the concern is timing. If the exception request were submitted today, Qwest is obligated to send out the notice prior to resolution of the WorldCom CR. As we’ve discussed, until we have clarity on the WorldCom CR, it’s not clear how the wording of the exception CR and required notice would need to be structured. He stated that Qwest is very appreciative that Eschelon submitted this so early in order to allow Qwest to look at all options. Given that there is an adequate amount of time to address the request, he suggested that Eschelon still bring this forward as a regular walk-on CR in the September CMP meeting. He added that if the WorldCom CR is not successful then Eschelon can revise this CR and submit it as an Exception. Then Qwest can move forward with the required notices, etc. He said in this case he would anticipate a vote in the October meeting unless WorldCom had a burning desire to have an emergency exception call between the September and October monthly meetings. If the WorldCom CR is successful then the group can talk about it in the room as to what do we do with the Eschelon request to push out the IMA 10.0 sunset date.

Terry Wicks-Stated that he agreed with this. He referred to section 16.4.1 of the CMP Process document. He stated that if a CLEC or Qwest submits an exception request without a date, then it would require a 2/3 vote to pass. He added that if there is a specific date on the request, then the process would be for a unanimous vote in order to approve it. He noted that if a CLEC were to submit a CR to say, push it out as far as possible then you don’t need a unanimous vote to pass it.

Bonnie Johnson -Stated that she would agree with that because she didn’t want to be where the group was during the WorldCom call the previous day.

Michael Buck—Stated that Qwest was in 100% agreement with that. He added that if the participants remember the Covad CR, they had asked for a date beyond what Qwest could do. Qwest worked with Covad and they revised the CR. He noted that he would use the exact language that Terry suggested, push it out as far a possible.

Bonnie Johnson-Stated that she would like to use the language of ‘as far as possible’ so that she didn’t have to keep revising the CR.

Michael Buck-Mentioned that next Thursday (during the September monthly CMP meeting) if Bonnie had the revised CR ready to go, or if she wanted to send it to him the following Friday, Qwest could then either talk about it at October’s meeting, or if Bonnie wanted to meet before then Qwest can call an emergency meeting . He added that we are far enough in advance of the required date that we have time to work with this request.

Terry Wicks-Noted that since we’ve got the time he suggested doing it at the October CMP meeting.

Bonnie Johnson- Agreed

Terry Wicks-Added that that way we’ll get a good quorum.

Mark Routh-Asked Bonnie to clarify when she was going to re-submit this CR.

Bonnie Johnson-Stated that she would do it when she gets back from Denver (after the September CMP meeting) and then she would send it as an Exception.

Terry Wicks-Pointed out the fact that there is a whole section in the CMP process document for submitting an Exception CR.

Michael Buck-Confirmed that Terry was right. He recommended that Bonnie review that section and submit the exception request according to those guidelines. He asked her to please give him a call if she had any questions.

The call was ended at 9:25 a.m. Mountain Time.

Discussion at the September CMP meeting

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the CR. She said that she will resubmit as an Exception CR and won’t make it date specific and would like the IMA 10.0 sunset date pushed out as far as possible. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said that Allegiance supports this CR as well. We are not planning to migrate to 11.0 so we need to maintain on 10.0 for a little longer. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that WorldCom's exception CR essentially asks for 2 of the CRs that have been prioritized for IMA 12.0 to be implemented by the end of 2002. Qwest indicated that to accomplish what WorldCom wanted would require a major release. In that case Qwest would need to support 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 and the new major release. As a result there would be 4 EDI platforms out there. Qwest indicated that was not an option and that they would have to get 10.0 off of the hardware platform to make room for another release. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that’s basically correct. IMA 10.0 & 11.0 would retire much earlier than the current plan. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if it would be sooner than the May timeframe that Qwest has in place right now. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that is correct. Terry Wicks/Allegiance — said that since this request changes the documented process this is required to be an exception CR. In the clarification call Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon indicated that she will re-submit it requesting a change without specifying a date. Mike Buck/Qwest thanked Eschelon for initiating the request far enough in advance so that the exception process can be fully used. Micki Jones/WorldCom—it’s my understanding that with 11.0, there are certain CR that are supporting the OBF LSOG 6 business rules, however there is the other layer of EDI version, so as you do LSOG version there is an equivalent EDI version that gets upgraded. In some other areas we’ve brought in some of the business rules of the upcoming LSOG releases without changing the EDI version. Is there any consideration for 11.0 bringing in the business rules without changing the EDI version underneath it? Connie Winston/Qwest — All the re-numbering and re-mapping for EDI is being done in IMA 11.0 based upon the outcome of the CLEC vote. When the CLEC vote indicated that an LSOG 6 change was wanted, that’s how the renumbering was done. Micki Jones/WorldCom —confirmed that IMA 10.0 is on EDI version 40/20 and IMA 11.0 is going to be on 40/30. So you are basically moving the EDI version to LSOG 6 and Qwest is a groundbreaker because they are the only one in the industry who is doing that. She asked whether or not it was a requirement, in order to do the LSOG 6 change requests, a CLEC must do the EDI, they can’t bring that in on the LSOG 5, the 4020 version of EDI, you must go to 4030 is what Qwest is saying? Connie Winston/Qwest said that it was voted by CMP to do it that way. Micki Jones/WorldCom — asked if everyone who voted on it that way understood that it was changing the EDI version as well as the business rules? Connie Winston/Qwest said yes.

Description Of Change

Currently when a CLEC does a migration from one product to another, the CLEC is required to remove the local service freeze on one LSR and send a second LSR for the conversion adding the freeze back on. Though the LSR flows through IMA, the Qwest Service Center rejects the request because they are restricted from typing an order in the SOP to remove the FID and SOP edits will not allow the conversion order to be typed with the FID. Since the Local Service Provider is not changing relax the SOP edits to allow the Qwest Service Center the ability to process the CLEC's request without sending an additional LSR.

Expected Deliverable:

Updates SOP edits to allow an order to be typed changing the class of service without removing the local service freeze. Develop an interim process that will allow the CLEC to send one LSR for the migration of a customer that is not changing local service providers.

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has been discussed in the past. The repository update checks will be performed sooner. IMA, upfront, will check the repository for updates. The repository updates very quickly and IMA checking upfront will result in LSRs not erroring due to the repository not being updated. There were no questions or comments.

September 6, 2002 Email from Bonnie Johnson to Peggy Esquibel-Reed and Jean Novak: Thanks so much Peggy. Jean, Could someone check the MCC and see if it indicates only one LSR is required for all products? Thanks! Bonnie

September 6, 2002 Email sent to Bonnie Johnson: Hi Bonnie, I'm sorry it took me so long to get this info for you. There was an MCC issued for the interim process. Issue Date: July 9, 2002, Effective Date: July 9, 2002, Topic: Local Service Freeze Workaround Peggy

September 3, 2002 Email from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Hi Peggy, In the expected deliverables for this CR, I requested an interim process to send one LSR to migrate a customer from one product to another. Has that been documented yet. Eschelon is still sending two LSR's for the orders that are not provisioned in the Mpls Center. Thanks, Bonnie

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon is requesting that the SOP edits be relaxed to allow CLEC migrations from one product to another when Local Service Freeze is on the account. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is suggesting that we change the title slightly. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that would be fine. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the ballot will reflect the change in title. The status of this change request will be changed to Pending Prioritization.

Clarification Meeting - July 8, 2002 Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Harriett Berry/Qwest, Bret Birkholz/Qwest, Birkley Loggie/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest Reviewed CR description. Bonnie Johnson stated that the issue came up in the middle of converting their embedded base to UNE-P. The orders did go thru IMA but the [Minneapolis] Center is restricted from removing the FID. Eschelon is requesting that if the Local Service Provider is not changing, Qwest needs to allow the CLEC to change the product type without having to issue two LSRs. Bonnie stated that it is easiest to do in the SOP, or develop a process. Shouldn’t be forced to send 2 LSRs. Harriett Berry asked if Bonnie had any examples. Bonnie stated that the Minneapolis Center would have some. She has been working with Christine Siewert, Venessa Heilan, and Kathy Rein, in Minneapolis. Harriett asked if the problem was occurring in all regions. Bonnie stated that the Minneapolis Center would be able to tell her if it was across all regions. Bonnie stated that then the Center rejects the second order. Bonnie stated that she has a daily UNE-P status call and will ask for examples there. If she gets some she will forward to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at Qwest for distribution to the Qwest participants on the call. Harriett asked for examples with TN, PON, & LSR. Bonnie stated will check and see if has examples. Bonnie stated that this situation occurs about once per week. Bonnie stated that she would be happy to do a test order with Qwest. She can submit an order in each region so Qwest can process and see what happens. Harriett advised would let her know if test orders are needed. There were no other questions.

Description Of Change

The LSO is a required field in IMA (except when the APTCON is populated/then the LSO cannot be). When you have a validated address the LSO appear on the address validation. When submitting an LSR, have IMA autopopulate the LSO information from the validated address. When the field is not automaticaly populated the CLEC has to manually look the information up on the address validation screen or the LERG and populate the information. However, when populating the APTCON with the information from appointment scheduler, the LSO does autocomplete. Since IMA will not allow the LSO field to be populated the CLEC will get an error that the field cannot be populated. Always autopopulate theLSO and remove the edit preveting the LSO & APTCON to be populated on the same LSR.

Expected Deliverable:

IMA will autopopulate the LSO fields that is a required field on the LSR form in IMA and allow the APTCON and the LSO to be populated on the LSR.

October 23, 2002 Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest recapped that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss, with Eschelon, a change to the approach for this request. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the proposed change is based on IMA architecture and product functionality. Monica stated that the developers have indicated that it would be more compatible to move the function to the BPL in lieu of performing the function in the GUI. Monica stated that the autopopulate function would then occur after the LSR is submitted, it would not occur on-line in the GUI. Monica stated that the BPL would do the look up and would populate the LSO in the LSO field. Monica stated that this is a subtle change. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that if the edit was lifted would end up with the same result. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she was okay with the change in approach and had no problem with it. There were no other questions or comments.

Subsequent Clarification Meeting July 9, 2002: Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Bret Birkholz/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR description was reviewed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the LST & LSO are required fields except if the APTCON field is populated. Eschelon requests these fields to always autopopulate when has a validated address. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the rules vary by product and asked if this was for all products? Monica stated that for 8 products, if have the LSO then don't need the APTCON. Bret Birkholz/Qwest stated that the LST is not returned on an address validation. Bonnie agreed and stated that wants it to autopopulate when it is required. Bret advised that the LST could not be populated on an address validation. Bonnie asked if it was required. Monica stated that the LST is not required, it is either optional or conditional. Bonnie advised that she woul revise this CR to remove the LST requirement from this request. Bret asked if the EU Form or the LSR Form was filled out first? Stated that if the LSR Form was filled out first that it would not populate the EU Form. Bonnie advised that the LSR Form was the form populated first. Bret advised that there is not a drop down to select validated address on the LSR Form, it is on the EU Form. Bonnie stated that Eschelon would establish an internal manual process to populate the EU Form first. Will not ask for the Form sequence to change, as does not want a high LOE that would need to be prioritized. Bret asked Bonnie if she was okay with filling out the EU Form first to get the drop down. Bonnie responded yes. Bonnie stated that when the APTCON is populated, the LSO gets pre-populated, then IMA doesn't want it. Monica stated that the rule is limited to products. If the LSO is populated, the APTCON does not need to be populated. Stated it could be translating to prohibit. Bret advised would look into requiring the APTCON when the LSO is populated but that the populated LSO not to require APTCON. No other questions were raised.

June 26, 2002 CLEC Meeting Notes - Initial Clarification Meeting: Request to auto populate LST/LSO from the address validation. - Currently when the validated address is selected from the drop down box the address fields are automatically populated. I believe that this is asking that in addition to the address fields being populated that the LSO and LST fields also be autopopulated. - A possible issue with this is that the address fields (and drop down box) are on the EUI form and the LST and LSO fields are on the LSR form. - Able to locate the LSO information on an address validation pre-order, but I don’t see anything labled LST. Need to determine whether this is returned on an address validation or not.

7/22/04 Systems CMP Meeting

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that we validated with Network and that the majority of products will flow through. John said that there is some fallout with Hunting with DMS100. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon thanked John for the research and said that she does not think that the Hunting/DMS 100 scenario will change and is what it is. Bonnie said that if Qwest will include this information in the CR she will agree to withdraw this request. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that we will add the response to the CR and will withdraw the CR.

6/17/04 Systems CMP Meeting

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the open issue is associated with Centrex products and downtime. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon was told by Qwest that any conversion where the line from a CTX 21 environment won’t flow through the switch and will fall out to manual. Bonnie stated that is what this CR was requesting and that Qwest needs to automate this process. Bonnie said that Qwest advised that work had been done that prevented this from happening. Bonnie said that Qwest said that anything from CTX would fall out and that the orders do not flow through to the switch. Bonnie said that if you are converting to another product (i.e. UNE-P POTS) all the orders would need manual attention in the switch and RCMAC. Bonnie said that when the order falls to manual it could cause significant downtime. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if Susie Wells/Qwest needed to do additional research on the issue. Susie Wells/Qwest stated that she had a different understanding and would like to research the issue further for clarification. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we need to get Network involved.

5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that at the switch level there is a brief period of downtime. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she understood that there is downtime. Bonnie said that those that fall out to manual at the switch causes additional down time. John Gallegos/Qwest asked when this occurs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said this occurs with anything that exists in a Centrex environment. Bonnie said that the action item is to determine what falls out to manual in the Centrex environment 6/1/04 Revision to Minutes from MCI - Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the downtime can be significant and that Qwest should have audits and controls to minimize downtime. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that an action item will be created to determine what falls out to manual in the Centrex environment and determine how they are handled from a process perspective.

4/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this request was deployed last August and that there was backend system work done to allow for flow through. 5/3/04 - Revisions to Minutes from Eschelon

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated the problems may not have been switch related but that the end result was it allowed flow through to the switch.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR was switch related and Eschelon was told that all lines being removed from a Centrex environment fell out of the Qwest switch is an auto switch update so that they will not fall out of the switch. Bonnie said that CTX, Centron, and CTX 21 act differently.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated she will check to see if this has been implemented and that if Centrex can’t be mechanized, we will communicate that to you.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that when Connie looked at this the fixes Qwest did the problems may not have been switch related but that the end result was it allowed flow through to the switch.

This CR remains open.

3/20/03 March CMP Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when we went through the analysis, we determined that IMA is currently sending the information to a back end system Therefore, this CR will be removed from the 14.0 vote We are looking at getting the work scheduled and are looking at a targeted date in August. We started to define this after the 13.0 vote and found this is part of the service order creation system. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said this is great news. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this will remain part of the 14.0 vote. Connie Winston/Qwest said that no, the interface is ‘Other’ and that it’s downstream from IMA. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other questions. No other questions.

8/22/02 Systems CMP Meeting

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon essentially we are just looking for more flow through, as Qwest is as well. We want our orders to go through without human intervention, decreasing the chance for error. On the call we discussed the main areas of concern. The orders that flow through depends a lot on the platform it’s coming from, rather than the one it’s going to. She reviewed the discussion on the clarification call. Connie Winston/Qwest noted that the flow through matrix, included in the package, pointed out what is designed to flow through, noting that if anything is wrong, it will still stop if there is an edit condition. They are broken out by products, so she noted that some products are not designed yet to flow through, she believes this CR is to address some products that are not designed to flow through. She pointed out that when this is voted for a release, we need to have one additional clarification meeting, to make sure that those not designed to flow through are what you want with this CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon it looks like on conversions for 1FB/ UNE-P POTS, most should flow through. Connie Winston/Qwest and that went in with 10.01 Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon not designed to flow through causes the order to it flow through to the SOP but it needs to be corrected? Is that what this is saying? Connie Winston/Qwestyes Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon- so it still requires manual intervention? Connie Winston/Qwest yes, FIDs for the features need to be validated before the order goes downstream, but the flow through engine does create most of the order. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon is this one that could be a candidate for 13.0? Connie Winston/Qwest yes, to address these products for flow through, and you can certainly validate that this is what you are interested in. We also need to look at what went into 10.01. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon I don’t know what you want to do with status on this. Michael Buck/Qwest the status will be updated to ‘pending prioritization’ and the CR is eligible for prioritization for IMA 13.0. If you later decide to withdraw the CR because your needs have been meet based on existing functionality, you can certainly do that.

7/29/02 e-mail received from Bonnie Johnson

Hi Lynne, The title should read "Eschelon is requesting true flow through on requests where the service was 1FB/CCMS and CTX21 and converting to UNE-P POTS. The current title sounds like I want flow through for orders going to 1FB/CCMS and CTX21.

Does that make sense?

Hi Bonnie, I have attached a copy of the CR that we clarified yesterday. Please take a look at the revision I made to the Title and Description of The CR based on our clarification call. Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or if I have forgotten anything. Thanks! (See attached file: SCR070902-01.rtf) << File: SCR070902-01 7/24/02 Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Bonnie Johnson,-Eschelon, Connie Winston-Qwest, Kelly Ellingson - Qwest, Bret Birkholz- Qwest, Shon Higer - Qwest

Introductions of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that Eschelon submitted SCR100201-1 (Provide 'true' flow through for UNE-P resale LSRs) on Oct 2,2001 and was closed by Eschelon on 4/22/02. Eschelon requested that the CR be re-opened. Qwest issued SCR070902-01 on behalf of Eschelon.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this CR. Eschelon would like true flow through on everything. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon specifically noted Centrex 21 and 1FB CCMS. Eschelon wants true flow through without exception on UNE-P. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also said that it seems like the only thing flowing through is 1FB POTS and 1FR Connie Winston/Qwest said that a CTX full conversion will flow through. When you have a partial conversion (only part of the #'s are converting) more logic is required. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it would be better is Eschelon narrowed the scope to request flow throught on 1FB & Centrex 21. Shon Higer/Qwest said that they will be changes in 10.01 associated with Centrex 21 conversions to UNE-P POTS. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Kathy Rein/Qwest in the Minnesota Center is involved in migration process of 1FB CCMS. She has examples of where the problems exist. Shon Higer said that he would contact Kathy Rein/Qwest to clarify the USOCs associated with CCMS. (e.g. MVP, MVP11) Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked about the process on CTX to Unbundled conversions. Connie Winston/Qwest believes that these conversions flow through. Confirm Areas & Products Impacted Centrex 21 & 1FB/CCMS Confirm Right Personnel Involved Kathy Rein will be involved on the discussions associated with 1FB/CCMS Identify any Dependent Change Requests Centrex 21 conversion to UNE-P POTS with 10.01 Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) Qwest will contact Kathy Rein/Qwest to determine USOCs associated with 1FB/CCMS. Eschelon will present this CR in the August CMP Systems Meeting. Lynn Stecklein will revise the title of this CR.

Description Of Change

Currently on the BillMate SOACTVTY file, when service order activity takes place, Qwest combines the rates for some or all of the USOCs on a given service order before calculating the prorated charge. This makes it difficult to validate each charge. Eschelon asks Qwest to show the prorated calculations and charges for each USOC separately on the BillMate SOACTVTY file. This affects the states of AZ, CO, OR, UT, and WA for Resale & UNE-P. For Unbundled Loop it affects the states of OR & WA.

Expected Deliverable:

The BillMate SOACTVTY files will show the prorated amount for each USOC separately.

Project Meetings

January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this effort will be implemented in 2 phases. Peggy stated that the EXCEL Macro is currently in development and that the macro will be made available to all CLECs, per request. - Phase 1: EXCEL Macro is targeted for 1/17/03 implementation. It is an interim process to request the EXCEL Macro via an emailed request to zimmer@qwest.com. - Phase 2: The long term solution and has a targeted implementation date of February 28, 2003. The EXCEL Macro will then become available via the web; details are currently being defined. A job aid/user guide will also be made available. Notification process will be followed. Peggy Esquibel-Reed stated that in lieu of no systems work for this request, this CMP CR will be crossed over to Product and Process. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked for the email address to send her request. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the email address is azimmer@qwest.com

October 31, 2002 Email sent to Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Thanks for the prompt reply. I have forwarded your decision on to IT. The reason option #1 was determined to be a very large effort is because this systematic change would need to be made for all CLECs and even though Eschelon is only asking about 5 states, the change would be required in all 14 Qwest states; so as to keep our processing consistent across all CRIS billing regions. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

October 30, 2002 Email from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Peggy, While I can understand why Western (Oregon and Washington) could be a large effort to change because it encompasses resale, unbundled loop and UNE-P I can not understand why Central (Arizona, Colorado and Utah) would be a large effort because only our resale and UNE-P bills show the fraction lumped for more than one USOC. The unbundled loop, as far as I can tell, does not lump the USOCs together to determine the fractional charge. We will try option 2. Thanks Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst Eschelon Telecom, Inc 612-436-6022 klstichter@eschelon.com

October 29, 2002 Solution Options Meeting - Attendees: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Sue Kriebel/Qwest, Jud McDonald/Qwest, Doug Warren/Qwest, Alan Zimmerman/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest recapped the 2 options in the 10/25/02 Draft Qwest Response. Option 1) Qwest to provide a new column on the BillMate SOACTVTY file to provide prorated amount for each separate USOC. This option would require an estimated Level of Effort of Extra Large. Option 2) Qwest to provide a means, most likely an EXCEL Spreadsheet, that will perform the calculation function. This spreadsheet will be provided to a CLEC upon request. Requests for this spreadsheet can be made via email to azimmer@qwest.com. The estimated Level of Effort for Option 2 is 24 hours. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that option 2 would be an EXCEL Macro that could be either in EXCEL or Access. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she did send the options to Bill Markert (Eschelon) and has not heard back from him. Kathy does not want to make a final decision withought his input. Kathy stated that the initial thought could be for option 1 but needs to discuss with Bill (Markert) before a decision is made. Kathy asked if for option 2, would it need to be requested each month? Alan Zimmerman/Qwest responded that no, a CLEC would only need to request it once and would get it every month. It will take about 30-seconds to run. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that option 1 would be an extra large effort due to the rounding differences issue. Qwest would need to change how OCCs are calculated and is a huge effort for a penny difference due to rounding problem. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if the macro would also give these penny differences each month. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that the amounts would be given with 6 or 7 decimal places and the CLEC could use their rounding process and round up or down. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated to please keep in mind that option 2 could be delivered a lot sooner than option 1 due to the difference in the level of efforts. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she will discuss with Bill (Markert) and will send Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest an email with their decision.

October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon presented CR and stated that the CR is Evaluation status. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the response indicates that Qwest is researching the request. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking at this CR and what it would take. We have had clarification meeting and we will be scheduling a follow up meeting to discuss what we’ve discovered and what options we think we can provide to you.

-- Clarification Meeting September 30, 2002 Attendees: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Doug Warren/Qwest, and Jean Novak/Qwest CR Description of Change was reviewed: Currently on the BillMate SOACTVTY file, when service order activity takes place, Qwest combines the rates for some or all of the USOCs on a given service order before calculating the prorated charge. This makes it difficult to validate each charge. Eschelon asks Qwest to show the prorated calculations and charges for each USOC separately on the BillMate SOACTVTY file. This affects the states of AZ, CO, OR, UT, and WA for Resale & UNE-P. For Unbundled Loop it affects the states of OR & WA. There was no additional comment or information. Products impacted: Centrex, Resale, UBL, UNE-P. CLEC Expectation/ Expected Deliverable: The BillMate SOACTVTY files will show the prorated amount for each USOC separately. Discussion: Carl Sear/Qwest stated that the paper bill shows the same as ASCII, at the line level. If there are multiple TNs, they are combined; WTN is at line level line level is prorated. Jean Novak/Qwest/ stated that this information was provided to Bill Markert (Eschelon) by Carl Sear & Alan Zimmerman at the last CLEC Forum. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that for this request, functionality may need to be changed and that could be quite a bit bigger LOE. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked why this works in some states and not in others. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that it could be due to regional differences. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon provided some examples and Carl Sear/Qwest looked at them and provided explanations for each, i.e. 1 circuit only so does show separate information. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that on the ASCII bill, it can be determined which USOCs are associated to each line item. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she could that but it takes more time. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon provided a MN example, USOCs are separate, not combined. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that he would need to check into how Eastern region functions for UNE accounts. Western & Central functionality differs. Carl will look at regional differences on how fractionalizing is done. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that USOCs are combined in Western and not in Central & Eastern Carl Sear/Qwest stated that in Western are combined for single and multiple lines. Central are separate on single lines and multiple lines by TN. Eastern will be checked into. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated would like to know if the functionality can be changed, what will be changed, and if cannot change functionality, why. There were no other questions or comments.

Description Of Change

Currently the loss reports includes any TN that had outward activity and was not migrating from one product to another at the request of the CLEC. Eschelon requests that the criteria for the loss report be changed to exclude any activity requested by the CLEC itself. The loss report is used to identify those customers that have left our service and did not contact Eschelon to disconnect all or some of their services. As a result, Eschelon continues to bill the customer for service it is not providing. The end user is upset and the losing CLEC has little chance of collecting legitimate charges due from the customer. In addition, Eschelon currently has to analyze the loss report to determine which TN’s are actually a loss to Eschelon without our knowledge. This causes Eschelon additional resources and generates a significant number of calls to the Qwest CSIE for clarification.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest will change the criteria of the loss report to omit outward activity generated by the CLEC

Project Meetings

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this Change Request is ready to be closed. This CR is in Completed Status.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the infrastructure is changing around editing. Connie stated that this is at the order level and will be class of service to features. Connie stated that this is to ensure is done accurately for residence or business match. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR will deploy at the end of the month and noted that the notice was sent. There were no questions or additional comments.

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation for this CR is June 30, 2003.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that since we are moving into definition and development on this, we wanted to make sure that everyone understood what the report would reflect. The way this CR is written, we will no longer show the Internal Loss and all that will be shown is the External. She wanted to know if that met everyone’s expectation. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that is exactly what we asked for. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if all other CLECs agreed. Everyone agreed. John Berard/Covad asked what is the definition of internal vs. external loss. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the definition of internal is when you have a CLEC moving from one product to another product, so it appears that there is a loss to the one product. External is when CLEC A writes a conversion against CLEC Bs account, we need to let CLEC B know that they have lost the account. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if the new external only loss report will still show a disconnect. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that you are issuing a D and N order. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that they aren’t but Qwest is internally issuing a D and N order. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she would have to validate that and make sure it’s in there. We do relate those orders and so the external loss will be on the report. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that it would be populated if you are losing that end user. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes. John Berard/Covad asked if you are losing a customer on your voice side, and we have DSL on that order, we would get a loss on that. He also stated that they will not hear from them but we will see it on this report. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes. Kit Thomte/Qwest noted that this action item could be closed.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was Presented in the October CMP Meeting. The Level og Effort is estimated at 300 - 600 hours and is pending scheduling. CR status remains at 'Presented'

October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR was requested to be a walk on at the October meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon presented the CR and stated that she and Connie (Winston) talked about this last month and that the CR was submitted under duress. Bonnie stated that requested to walk this CR on because someone alluded that there was an existing UR to do this. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest had already started on some business definition and has done some research, knowing this was coming. Connie stated that the person who mentioned the UR viewed the Clarification call as a status call. Connie apologized for the confusion. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is no implementation date yet. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the SDC’s seem to have a misunderstanding on external vs. internal loss. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that is true and that new M&Ps have gone out to restate and clarify. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he was not aware that there was an SDC manual process. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the SDCs believed that they were using the correct codes. That has been corrected. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a system change is also being made. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the system change will help flowthrough but where the order is manually typed, it will not. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this was the same issue where we were going to have a meeting to define internal vs. external losses Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the meeting was held prior to the August or September CMP Meeting. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if there was somewhere that she could go to identify internal vs. external losses. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Bonnie’s CR explains what we will be doing. If generated by a CLEC and it’s their own account, it’s considered internal. If it’s done by someone other than the CLEC and they would want to know about it then it’s considered external. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that since we’ve got the human intervention side, on the manually typed orders, do you want those examples? Connie Winston/Qwest stated that yes, we are trying to find a way internally to help the typists, they a have a lot to get on the order. We would like examples. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if the new M&Ps were out. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that yes but we are clarifying them. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if the M&Ps would be in InfoBuddy. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the initial ones went out and another one is being sent to make clearer. Will be out with the system change or maybe a little sooner.

CLARIFICATION MEETING - October 9, 2002 ATTENDEES: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Joan Pfeffer/Qwest, Donna Svendgaard/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest REVIEWED CR DESCRIPTION: Currently the loss reports includes any TN that had outward activity and was not migrating from one product to another at the request of the CLEC. Eschelon requests that the criteria for the loss report be changed to exclude any activity requested by the CLEC itself. The loss report is used to identify those customers that have left our service and did not contact Eschelon to disconnect all or some of their services. As a result, Eschelon continues to bill the customer for service it is not providing. The end user is upset and the losing CLEC has little chance of collecting legitimate charges due from the customer. In addition, Eschelon currently has to analyze the loss report to determine which TN’s are actually a loss to Eschelon without our knowledge. This causes Eschelon additional resources and generates a significant number of calls to the Qwest CSIE for clarification. DISCUSSION: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she submitted this CR under duress, feels like Qwest forced her to submit it and feels like this request was already made in a previous CMP CR, 5522887, submitted on April 27, 2001 with a description of "CLECs need clear loss information, particularly with respect to resale customers. If loss information is not communicated effectively, two providers may bill one customer at the same time. To prevent such problems and ensure accuracy, Qwest should provide loss and completion information in a more organized, clear manner. Currently, Qwest includes all activity on a CLEC account that has outward action of a line or loop on a service order. For example, a migration from resale to loops appears as a loss, even though the customer has not changed providers. A loss should be limited to lines leaving the CLEC to go to another provider. The loss report should only reflect information of those customers that have changed to a different local service provider. The completion report should include order activity initiated by the CLEC, regardless of the activity type requested". Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the submission under duress would be noted. Peggy stated that would like to proceed with this CR Clarification to ensure complete understanding of the request. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest has previously defined that an internal loss is due to migrations and the CLEC losing revenue. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that an Internal Loss should only include any service order activity that a CLEC generates. An External Loss are those lines that are lost that are not as a result of an LSR being submitted itself. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that her real wish is that if a CLEC initiates an LSR, the order would not be on the Loss Report at all. The order should be on the Completions Report only. Donna Svendgaard/Qwest asked to confirm that on the Loss Report, Eschelon only wants to see a line loss if not CLEC initiated. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon state that she wants a redefinition of internal & external. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the criteria to determine internal or external is driven off the service order disconnect code, and defined so only the the internal loss is due to a migration. Bonnie wants anything that is generated from an LSR, even a disconnect, as an internal loss. Bonnie does not want external to be only for a loss of revenue to a CLEC. A CLEC has to disconnect accounts for a customer and for resale UNE-P, you only know by the loss report if you have lost a customer. Donna Svendgaard/Qwest stated that this is confusing, and the reason that it confuses is is currently, there are 2 things that drive an internal loss. The first thing is a product migration and the second thing is CLEC authorized, and an LSR is submitted. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that that is not how Qwest has defined internal losses in the past. Donna Svendgaard/Qwest state that for CLEC authorized, currently the product migration DCR is used in the interim. CLEC authorized is currently pending implementation and is UR3595. It has not yet completed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it sounds like the wheels are already turning and this CR may not even be needed. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest will certainly look into this request and stated that this CR is due for discussion at the November Systems CMP Meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that due to the confusion and submission under duress, she would like to discuss this CR at the October CMP Meeting. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest advised that this CR will be include in the walk-on section of the October distribution package, for discussion at the October Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments.

RE: SCR093002-01 Change loss report to include only external losses. Omit any requests the CLEC initiated

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR093002-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held October 9, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 300 to 600 hours for this Loss and Completion Report 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. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR093002-01.

Description Of Change

Currently when you attempt to select an appointment for UBL with CHC, if the appointment you require is not available, IMA selects the next available appointment. Once that appointment is populated, the CLEC is required to open an escalation ticket with the CSIE and have the appointment removed so OVERRIDE can be entered when the date and time needed is not available. This cause additional time and steps for the CLEC and Qwest particularly since the appointments available are only on the hour.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest will make changes to allow a CLEC to view the available times for any given day. If the date and time is not available the CLEC have the ability to either select OVERRIDE as an option or back out of the scheduler without selecting anything so the LSR can be populated with OVERRIDE.

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Echelon asked Kim Isaacs (Eschelon) if this was ok to close. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that yes; Eschelon is ok to close this CR. This CR moves to Completed status.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Qwest will make changes to allow a CLEC to view the available times for any given day. If the date and time is not available the CLEC have the ability to either select OVERRIDE as an option or back out of the scheduler without selecting anything so the LSR can be populated with OVERRIDE.

Products: Unbundled Loop and Unbundled Loop with NP

Forms Impacted: Pre-Order Appointment Response

Fields Impacted: New ‘Return Appointment’ button in Conformation Tab on the Appointment screen

ACTs: N/A

Questions & Answers:

There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding IMA 14.0 Prioritization: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this is already available in EDI so the CR is for IMA GUI. Bonnie stated that this is also important to Qwest because Eschelon overrides everything. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes, we would prefer you not use override as your workaround and stated that Qwest supports this CR.

December 19, 2002 Systems cMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the request. She noted that this is the one that we’d talked to Qwest about earlier and until it is implemented we will mark to override Appointment scheduler every time. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this is only GUI. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she believed so. Wendy Green/Qwest said that in the GUI the integration greys out the field. In EDI, there is no integration by Qwest, so the EDI customer can go in and type 'override' and in the GUI, they can’t. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that having said that is there a change in LOE. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she doesn’t believe so because the complex part of this is in the GUI and asked how passionate are you around this. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they are passionate about this. We are hoping to convert to EDI, but I think it’s not a nice to have, for any CLEC that uses the GUI to submit unbundled loop and coordinated hot cuts would be a high priority. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that she agrees.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the CR Description. The Level of Efforth for this request is 1475 - 2450 hours and is eligible for the 13.0 vote.

Clarification Call - October 7, 2002 Attendees Introduced - Bonnie Johnson, Kim Isaacs from Eschelon. Peggy Esquibel-Reed, John Gallegos, Berkley Loggie, Joan Pfeffer, Russ Urevig from Qwest Reviewed CR: Currently when you attempt to select an appointment for UBL with CHC, if the appointment you require is not available, IMA selects the next available appointment. Once that appointment is populated, the CLEC is required to open an escalation ticket with the CSIE and have the appointment removed so OVERRIDE can be entered when the date and time needed is not available. This cause additional time and steps for the CLEC and Qwest particularly since the appointments available are only on the hour. Expected Deliverable: Qwest will make changes to allow a CLEC to view the available times for any given day. If the date and time is not available the CLEC have the ability to either select OVERRIDE as an option or back out of the scheduler without selecting anything so the LSR can be populated with OVERRIDE. Confirmed Impacted Interface - IMA EDI & GUI Confirmed Impacted Product(s) - Unbundled Loop Discussion - Joan Pfeffer/Qwest asked that when an appointment is scheduled and the appointment is not available, what does Eschelon do? Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it just gives the next available date & time; you can't back out to OVERRIDE. One is forced to take an appointment, then has to open a ticket to delete it. Joan Pfeffer/Qwest stated that this functionality is currently available in EDI and will be available for GUI with the 12.0 Release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked for a description of the functionality that will be available with 12.0 Joan Pfeffer/Qwest advised that if have a due date change, a supp is to be issued and the original appointment gets canceled. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the due date supp is different than this CR request. This request is for an original LSR, not a supp or due date change. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest will investigate request regarding an original LSR and will respond accordingly. Russ Urevig/Qwest advised that there are no concerns or questions, from Process. There were no additional comments or questions.

CenturyLink Response

DRAFT RESPONSE November 5, 2002

RE: SCR093002-02 Change IMA so when a CLEC goes to check availability of a date and time for CHC in appointment scheduler, the CLEC can input OVERRIDE if the appointment needed is not available or make OVERRIDE one of the options for appointments.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR093002-02). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held October 7, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1475 to 2450 hours for this IMA 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 13.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Currently when you validate an address in IMA, the tab that identifies 'switch type' reads 'multiple' only when there are multiple switches in a CO and the switch types are different from each other. Eschelon requests IMA is updated to identify the actual switch types when a CO has multiple switches. When a customer is adding lines to an existing account, the TN’s selected need to work in the same switch to provide some feature functionality. Currently if there are multiple switches in a CO and the switches types are the same, the CLEC can not identify the need to select certain NPA/NXX in TN selection. This can cause a negative outcome for the customer up to and including OOS or delayed install.

Expected Deliverable:

Update IMA address validation 'switch types' tab to identify all switches in a multiple switch CO.

Project Meetings

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that this didn’t meet Eschelon’s expectations and noted that they need to know which switch the address is located in. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon knew that from the beginning and that it would require a new CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she is working with her Service Manager on getting a question answered. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest has stated that multiple switch C.O.’s can work either within that C.O. and some geographic area, or one switch or the other will only serve a geographic area within that central office. Bonnie stated that she wants to submit a CR but she doesn’t know what to ask for. She asked Qwest to help her define what to ask for in the CR. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was the mechanized means of knowing when a telephone number needs to change. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that is what she needs to submit a new CR for. Bonnie stated that she did not know if this would be a Product/Process change or a Systems change. Bonnie stated that Jean Novak (Qwest) has Eschelon’s recent questions, so she doesn’t want Qwest to re-invent the wheel.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would deploy in Release 13.0, on August 4, 2003.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion on IMA 13.0 Packaging: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we don’t have packaging options and went right down the list. We did deploy #3 (SCR062802-09) based on the Exception Request and we used approximately 42,000 hours. I know that everyone is very familiar with these CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest found any synergies with other CRs. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if we find synergies we tell you upfront. We did not find any during this time. Beth Foster/Qwest noted that the SATE packaging is also listed on the CMP web site under the walk on section.

December 19, 2002 Systems cMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this is available by any other means. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that it is if you go to the LERG and go to that level of detail. It’s problematic when you are adding a line for an existing customer. If there is nothing to flag you that you might have a multiple switch situation, you will have to go to a higher level of detail to figure that out. Wendy Green/Qwest asked if they have looked at the service availability query for this information. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she is not familiar with that. Wendy Green/Qwest said that it allows you to query at an LSO level to determine the switch type and the NPA/NXXes associated with each switch in a CO.. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this is in pre-order. Wendy Green/Qwest stated yes. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said it might be one of those central offices and you might pick it out of the same switch. I will research, thanks.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the CR description. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this effort would also include providing of the CLLI? Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that CLLIs are currently provided. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that CLLIs are not provided on multiples. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if the request is for CLLIs on multiples in lieu of 'multi'. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated right. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that with the identification of the CLLI, would you be able to identify if the TN needed to change if the customer was moving? Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she asked that question and the response was 'sometimes'. Leilani Hines/WorldCom asked if some of the information was on the ICON DB. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it could be but Eschelon doesn't want to go to multiple locations for the data. Just wants the information identified. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that if could identifiy if the TN would change could also help. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there are unique ares where Qwest has switch boundaries. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest employees can put a TN & address in a system that identifies if a TN can be ported. Bonnie asked if the CLECs can have access to that system. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she was not familiar with which system that is. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it was the system with red, yellow, & green and has to do with porting. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if it was used to determine if can port that TN. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that yes and that a yes is green, no is red, and needs more research is yellow. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she does not want to change this CR. She will issue a new CR for access to that system. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that to provide CLLI would also increase the scope of this CR. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T state to leave the CLLI part off this CR. There will be no changes to this CR. This CR is now in 'Presented' status with a level of effort of 1625 - 2700 hours.

CLARIFICATION MEETING October 8, 2002 ATTENDEES: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Kim Isaacs/Eschelon, Qiana Davis/Qwest, Conrad Evans/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Peggy EsquibelReed/Qwest CR DESCRIPTION REVIEW: Currently when you validate an address in IMA, the tab that identifies switch type only reads "multiple" when the two or more switch types are different from each other. Eschelon requests IMA is updated to read multiple when there are multiple switches in that CO even if the switches types are the same such as two 5E’s or two DMS 100’s. In addition, Eschelon requests that IMA be updated to allow a CLEC to select TN’s from one switch or another when there are multiple switches in a wire center. If a CLECs customer is adding lines to existing service and wants the new lines in a hunt group, per Qwest, the TN’s need to be working in the same switch. Currently if you need TN’s that are different from what is assigned to a CLEC in IMA, the CLEC needs to open an escalation ticket with the CSIE requesting TN’s for the appropriate switch. This is burdensome for both The CLEC and Qwest. If the TN’s on the LSR are in a different switch, it can cause a negative outcome for the customer up to and including OOS or delayed install. Expected Deliverable: Update IMA address validation "switch types" tab to identify multiple switches in a CO rather than multiple switch "types". Update IMA to allow a CLEC to request TN’s from either switch in a multiple switch CO. CONFIRMED IMPACTED PRODUCTS: Centrex, Resale, UNE-P CONFIRMED IMPACTED INTERFACE: IMA EDI & GUI DISCUSSION: Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the TN reservation tool, when multiple switch configuration, allows to provide a preferreds NPA/NXX. Monica asked if Eschelon has tried to request an NPA/NXX from another switch. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she had a real-life example and it was a 4-day ordeal when converting and adding lines at the same time, the TNs were out of the wrong switch. It would work if knows multiple switch. Does look in the LERG to identify multiple switches. When adding lines to an account, has to request the NPA/NXX that the customer already has. Sometimes the tool won't get that NPA/NXX if it is not specified because of no available TNs. Bonnie state that that could have been relaxed due to different situations. Is only a concern when dealing with multiple switches. She has been told for multiple switches a switch within a CO also serves a geographic area; is that correct? Monica Manning/Qwest stated that there is a default switch assigned to a given address. If all switches do not have same capacity, may have to go to another switch to provide a special feature. Monica gave an example: if all switches are 5E's, would default to the same switch every time. Capacity is also a driver. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that when go to the NPA/NXX function and doesn't have one, do you go to the LERG to find one? Monica Manning/Qwest asked if you want a switch other than the default? Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that you can't assume that it will default to the switch that the customer is served out of; doesn't want to assume that. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that there could have been circumstances that caused assignment from another switch. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon state that she does not want Eschelon's documentation to assume that. Bonnie asked that if the function to ask for a certain NPA/NXX is the abiltiy to pull from one switch or another? John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that we could use that as part of the selection criteria. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she will revise the CR to leave the portion to ask for in multiple switches, so can identify multiple switches and switch types. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the developer worksheets list switch types or 'multi'. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon state that a list of switches would be better, would know multiple switches and what type. Will send revised CR.

Description Of Change

Currently the PSON contains only the S&E (service and equipment) section of the Qwest service order. The sections of the service order omitted from the PSON contain valuable information for a CLEC which includes, billing, the customer address and listing information. In an effort to ensure this information is correct on the Qwest service order, the PSON will need to include the information. If the information is not included and there is an error on the service order somewhere other than the S&E section, this can have a negative impact to a CLEC’s customer up to and including OOS conditions.

4/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we will have a patch date soon and will Event Notify. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that we did Event Notify on March 5, 2004.

This CR remains in CLEC Test.

3/18/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest said that the event notification has been sent and closed with TBD. Connie stated that the date would be determined after 15.0.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we have had several discussions with Eschelon regarding this CR. Connie stated that we originally defined the PSON data as ‘I’ activity. Connie said that we might not have met the CLECs expectation because we need to display the recap portion on the PSON. Connie stated that we would like to open a ticket to work as a bug and will event notify. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon thanked Qwest for their efforts on this CR. Bonnie re-iterated that they do need the recap information on the service order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would remain open until the patch is complete.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she felt this CR was not implemented as Eschelon expected and that this CR cannot be closed. Bonnie stated that she hoped that this CR would tie into the recap issue. Bonnie said that they use PSONs very actively. Bonnie stated that Jill (Martain/Qwest) indicated that it is on the service order but not on the PSON. Bonnie asked if this was related to the listing issue. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she understands the issue and that this is all related. Connie stated that the PSON is showing the ‘I’ activity and not recapping. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that if they have to add another step of looking at the CSR, LSR and PSON to compare will become manual. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if there were other meetings scheduled with Jill (Martain). Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the meeting was for PIA, not really for PSON. Bonnie stated that service order accuracy just happened to come up on that call. Bonnie stated that Jill (Martain) stated that she would open a CR but that she (Bonnie) told her that Eschelon had this CR opened already. Bonnie stated that Qwest made an assumption that Eschelon did not need to see that and stated that Eschelon needs to know of any assumptions. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would discuss with Jill (Martain/Qwest) and see what needs to be done.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she sent examples to Qwest to determine whether Qwest provided updated information. Bonnie said that they requested information on the PSON and Qwest never said that they would only provide in certain scenarios. Bonnie asked how they could get the information on all orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would take an action item to review the example and determine how big the change would be. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that to only get the information when a change applies is not adequate. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would resend the examples to Lynn Stecklein/Qwest.

Subject: FW: CMP Action Item for SCR093002-04 Please see note below. This should go to Connie Winston. Based on this analysis, Eschelon asks Qwest to leave this CR open until the CR is fulfilled. Eschelon's request was to have the additional information provided on the PSON. Eschelon did not specify that it was only required on certain types of LSRs/orders, nor did Qwest disclose to Eschelon that the information would not be provided on all PSONs.

Can you provide a date the information requested will provide on all PSONs?

Thanks,

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that McLeod is going certify to this release and would like this CR to remain open. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when this CR was implemented, the information requested is only being provided when changing and not recapping. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if Eschelon was expecting recapping. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said yes and that it does not always end up that way. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we can give you a copy of the CSR and a recap should not change anything. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that if it is not appearing, then they can assume no changes to functions and if there are no changes, then you will not show it to us. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is nothing on the service order that would cause a change. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that on the CSR, it would have the suite number and the service order does not have the suite number, that the service order will show address only. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it will not error or change if not recapped and that it requires an I and O activity to change something. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when you submit an order and are asking for no listing changes, there is no FID to ensure no changes. Connie Winston/Qwest that when there are not changes to listings, no new FID is added and asked if we are see this on the PSON. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said will have to look. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if Eschelon would let Qwest know if they are seeing something different.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon would like this CR to remain in CLEC Test. 9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would like to leave this CR in CLEC Test. See minutes on 091302-01 (Attachment G)

8/21/03 CMP systems meeting

Kim Isaacs/Eschelon said that there is a trouble ticket on this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this will stay open and that we will look at the stripping PSON ticket.

2/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when Qwest was defining this change they noticed that the same information is shared for the completion report. She stated that the CR could also apply to completions and that if the CLECs wanted this then the CR would be on the higher range of the LOE. She continued that some CLECs use the notices in a similar way and that they did not want to throw off the process by having them different. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she was not thinking that the change would apply to completions too, but that it may apply to other CLECs. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that McLeod would like to see completions reflect in this change. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that they would also like completions added. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if all the CLECs agreed to this change in scope. The CLECs agreed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would move ahead with definition of the change and that the CR would be on the higher end of the LOE.

11/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston-Qwest noted the LOE was 2975-4950. She added that there was a concern with the listing of Centrex. She stated that it was a lot of data and that this would be a good candidate to bring forward in the design section to review and determine if the proposed solution made sense.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that once Qwest provided the data then Eschelon could review and see if they wanted to remove Centrex from the product list.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Centrex would be considered a risk due to the amount of data.

Clarification Call - October 7, 2002 Attendees Introduced - Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon. Peggy Esquibel-Reed, John Gallegos, Berkley Loggie, Denise Martinez, Conrad Evans, from Qwest Reviewed CR: Currently the PSON contains only the S&E (service and equipment) section of the Qwest service order. The sections of the service order omitted from the PSON contain valuable information for a CLEC which includes, billing, the customer address and listing information. In an effort to ensure this information is correct on the Qwest service order, the PSON will need to include the information. If the information is not included and there is an error on the service order somewhere other than the S&E section, this can have a negative impact to a CLEC’s customer up to and including OOS conditions. Expected Deliverable: Qwest will update the PSON to include all information on the service order. Currently only the S&E is returned. Confirmed Impacted Interface - IMA EDI & GUI Confirmed Impacted Product(s) - All that get a PSON for. Discussion - Conrad Evans/Qwest asked what other information would Eschelon like to see. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon responded - service address, LA or SA, from the Listings Section, Billed To information, the Listing Section information is the most important section. If the address is incorrect on a loop order, she doesn't know that because she can only see the S & E Section information. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if would like to see Traffic. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated yes. Denise Martinez/Qwest asked if would like to see Retained Remarks. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said yes. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that wants to see ALL information that is on a service order, except for proprietary information. There were no additional comments or questions.

DRAFT RESPONSE November 5, 2002

RE: SCR093002-04 Update PSON to include all service order information including listing, billing and service address

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR093002-04). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held October 7, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 2975 to 4950 hours for this IMA Change Request and 700 to 875 hours for SATE.

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 13.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Currently neither the Qwest paper bill nor the BillMate MONSERV (monthly service) file show an associated CLLI code for each UNE-P ANI or UNE Loop ANI. Since Qwest charges deaveraged zone rates it is essential that Eshelon know what zone each ANI is in. Eschelon has to look in the LERG using the NPA and NXX to find the CLLI for each ANI. Then Eschelon needs to look up the associated Rate Zone. This is an extra step and extremely time consumming. Eschelon asks Qwest to provide documentation, in Excel spreadsheet format, on its Wholesale web site which lists each NPA-NXX with its associated CLLI and Rate Zone. This is an alternative to a denied CR, SCR061902-01, which asked for this information on the BillMate MONSERV file.

Kathy Stichter/Eschelon called to confirm that Eschelon did not want the interactive web site. They want the spreadsheet only.

Introduction of Attendees - Kathy Stichter - Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon, Ric Martin - Qwest, Beth Foster - Qwest, Dennis Martinez - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Requested Change Lynn Stecklein - Qwest reviewed the request. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest provide documentation, in an Excel spreadsheet, on its Wholesale web site which lists each NPA NXX with its associated CLLI and Rate Zone. Currently, Eschelon is using the LERG to get the CLLI information and find it very time consuming.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted This change request applies to UNE and UNE-P.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved The Product/Process CRPM (Ric Martin) attended the call because this CR will be handled as a crossover to Product/Process.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation Dennis Martinez/Qwest confirmed that Eschelon was looking for Web functionality. Eschelon agreed. Dennis Martinez/Qwest also confirmed that Eschelon wanted the spreadsheet only and did not want interactive functionality. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she would verify and get back to Lynn Stecklein/Qwest. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this web site existed. Dennis Martinez/Qwest said that it does not exist today and that he website will most likely be added to the Wholesale web site. Dennis Martinez/Qwest also said that there might be a gap with number portability. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that did not appear to be a problem for Eschelon.

Description Of Change

REVISED CR DESCRIPTION 8-4-04:

Currently when Qwest bills a CLEC for repair and maintenance charges, the CLEC is unable to reconcile the bill with the Qwest ticket. Eschelon requests that Qwest uses the CLEC's internal ticket number in the PON Field on the bill that is sent to the CLEC. This will allow the CLEC to reconcile repair and maintenance charges and determine if the charge is appropriate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Original CR Description:

Currently when Qwest bills a CLEC for repair and maintenance charges, the CLEC is unable to reconcile the bill with the Qwest ticket. Eschelon requests that upon completion of SCR030702-1, Qwest uses the CLEC's internal ticket number on the bill sent to the CLEC. This will allow the CLEC to reconcile repair and maintenance charges and determine if the charge is appropriate.

Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon asked for a status of the action items from the meeting Alice Matthews - Qwest stated that the action item from the meeting was for the CLECs to determine if they were ok with the 13 character limitation and to validate whether or not they used special characters in their internal trouble ticket number. Alice said that we did get agreement from AT&T and Eschelon that it would not be a problem. Liz Balvin - Covad is fine with the change. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon asked if special characters would be allowed. Alice Matthews - Qwest said that whatever you are using today will be allowed. Jill Martain - Qwest stated that we did get agreement on how to move forward and are working towards getting a scheduled date. Connie Winston - Qwest asked what special characters the CLECs use.

August 4, 2004 Conference Call Minutes Attendees: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Alice Matthews/Qwest, Angela Stewart/Qwest. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to obtain concurrance of a revision to the CRs Title and Description, based on the discussion at the July Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy stated that this request is now for the ticket number in the PON Field and asked if that was everyone's understanding. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated yes. Alice Matthews/Qwest also stated yes. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest is aware that Eschelon feels that a revision to the CR is not needed because the language in the CR is broad enough to cover the new scope. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that was correct. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest explained that a CR Revision would be in everyone's best interest in order to avoid any future confusion regarding this request. Peggy proposed the title revision to be as follows: Use CLEC Internal Repair Ticket Number in the PON Field. Peggy proposed that the same revision be incorporated into the CRs Description. Peggy stated that the original title and description could remain and that the revisions could be made with the wording of REVISED. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she agrees with the revisions but asked that it state 'in the PON Field on the bill that is sent to the CLEC'. Kathy agreed that Peggy could make the revisions and send to her. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Alice Matthews (Qwest) if she agreed with that language. Alice Matthews/Qwest responded yes. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest agreed to make the changes. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if the PON would appear on the paper bill. Alice Matthews/Qwest stated that the data in the PON field does currently appear and this would not change with this request, is just differnet data. Alice Matthews/Qwest stated that with this request, the ticket number will appear only if the trouble was reported via CEMR or MEDIACC. Alice stated that verbal reports of trouble would not be included in this scope. Alice stated that on verbal trouble reports, the PON data would only show TIC. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she understood and stated that this solution is acceptable to Eschelon. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if there were any other questions or comments. There were none brought forward. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the revisions would be made to the CR Title and Description and that the CR would be removed from Denied Status. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that a revised copy of the CR would be sent to the call participants. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Kathy (Eschelon) to either send her concurrence of the revisions or what she feels needs to be changed. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon agreed. The call was concluded.

7/22/04 Systems CMP Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest said that the original request was a very large effort for billing. Connie said that we have determined that we could pursue putting the ticket number in the PON field. Connie said that we need to decide if the CR needs to be revised or to open a new CR Comment from Eschelon 7/30/04 - Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she read the description of the original request and feels it is very broad and stated that she did not believe that a re-write of the CR or a new CR was needed. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we will schedule another clarification call so that the request is documented accurately. stated that she did not believe that a re-write of the CR or a new CR was needed. .

6/17/04 Systems CMP Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is evaluating the possibility of providing the ticket number in the PON field. Connie said that it looks doable at a high level but that we need to do further testing to ensure the ticket gets to the bill. Connie said that we should have more information in the July Systems CMP Meeting. Connie said if we determine we can move forward we can discuss if the CR needs to be re-worded and/or revised. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon thanked Qwest for the update to her request.

5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that Eschelon is very concerned that this CR is 2 years old and is just now being denied. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that during the definition stage, we found that the requirements to meet this request became more and more complex. Connie said that the LOE grew because of the billing impacts and stated that we did research other ways to deploy this CR. Connie stated that the LOE breakdown was provided in the denial and that the majority of work would be in the CRIS billing system. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest never communicated the change in the LOE. Bonnie said that she would like Qwest to revise the denial and explain the difference in the LOE from definition to present. 6/1/04 Revision to Minutes from Eschelon - Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that if a SDC writes a service order using a PON, they could use the PON field to get the CLEC ticket on the bill. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they will submit a CR if they find that is an alternative solution. 6/1/04 Revision to Minutes from Eschelon - Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR will remain open until we provide a more detailed denial letter including more clarity on the LOE and why it increased.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting 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 also said that we were expecting additional information soon on some of the billing CRs and that we will update everyone when this information becomes available. Judy stated that the CRs listed below with line item numbers 1-82 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. Judy stated that the status would be noted on the CRs with line numbers 82-137.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR was originally targeted for December 2003 and is now targeted for March 2004. Lynn stated that this CR is in development and we have completed a significant amount of the work. Lynn stated that it was necessary to move the date because of the many components and systems involved and the complexity of the work. This action item can be closed.

2/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the target date for this change request is December 11, 2003.

1/16/03 January CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are in the design phase and moving into development on this change request. We don’t have a target implementation date but hope to provide the date in the February meeting. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that this action item would remain open.

6/20/02 Systems CMP meeting Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) explained what Eschelon was looking for. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked, if any other CLECs have any additions to what Eschelon is looking for? No one replied. Michael Buck (Qwest) pointed to the draft response. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) indicated that from Qwest’s point of view, for this CR to be successful, Qwest thinks that the existing CR (cross-reference CR – SCR030702-1- CLEC Trouble ticket Cross-reference) needs to be implemented first. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that Eschelon is aware that this needs to piggyback on that. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that this will only be available for those who use CEMR, it won’t work with EBTA. Terry Wicks (Allegiance) indicated that Allegiance plans to bond with EBTA. He asked if that meant Allegiance needs to open a separate CR. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) replied, Yes. Qwest looked at doing this in EBTA. There is currently no way to do this without violating a standard that EBTA currently follows. Qwest would then need to get agreement among all parties to do this. Yes, there is a way to get a request in the legacy systems, a process person needs to commit to make that happen. Terry Wicks (Allegiance) asked again, Should I generate a CR? Michael Buck (Qwest) stated, I think this would be a Product/Process CR. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) commented that his last comment on this CR is that Qwest had tentatively scheduled the CEMR CR for the August release. He further stated that Qwest is currently re-scheduling that. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) asked if the August release is being pushed out? Jeff Thompson (Qwest) confirmed that it was. Michael Buck (Qwest) stated, that while this CR truly has been presented, it sounds like it is still in ‘Evaluation’ due to the nature of the dependence on the other CR. He indicated that the status will be updated to ‘Evaluation’. There was no objection.

5/8/02 Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Kathy Stichter - Eschelon Alice Mathews - Qwest Doug Warren - Qwest Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees

Introduction of the participants on the conference call were made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change

The purpose of this meeting was to clarify SCR042902-01 submitted by Eschelon. Kathy Stichter - Eschelon provided a summary of this CR. Eschelon is requesting that the CLEC internal repair trouble ticket be added to the CLEC bill. This would allow the CLEC to identify charges for maintenance and repair.

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest also reviewed a related change request - SCR030702-1 (CLEC Trouble Ticket cross-reference). This CR is requesting that the CLEC repair ticket be added to the Qwest trouble ticket that would provide a cross-reference for the CLEC. The change would be made in CEMR. Alice Mathews/Qwest said that she would need more information re: this request and how the information would be handed off. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that she would contact Dan Busetti/Qwest and set up an internal meeting to discuss the details associated with SCR030702-1.

Alice Mathews/Qwest asked where Eschelon wanted the ticket number to appear on the bill. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that they would like the ticket number to appear in the Other Charges and Credits portion of the bill. Alice Mathews/Qwest said that the format of these charges today include date, order number, PON, and working telephone number. Kathy Stichter said that they really don't need the order number since that is internal to Qwest. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that they would like to have the ticket number instead of the order number. Kathy Stichter asked a question about the due date on the order - Is the due date the date of the order or the date of the repair? Alice Mathews/Qwest said that a "fix" is planned that will make the "due date" the date when the repair took place. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that would be great and she was glad to hear of the "fix".

Alice Mathews/Qwest said that today an order is issued on all tickets with a standard PON for maintenance and repair. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon also said that they would rather see their trouble ticket on the bill instead of the circuit ID or working TN.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted

Products impacted are those products supported under the repair platform.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved

Dan Busett/Qwest will keep the team statused on the progress of SCR030702-1.

Identify any Dependent Change Requests

SCR030702-1 (CLEC Trouble Ticket cross-reference) must be implemented prior to this CR.

Establish Action Plan

A draft response will be provided in the June Systems CMP meeting.

Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the additional Clarification Meeting (held August 4, 2004) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 500 to 700 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface 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. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR042902-01

This letter is in response to your CLEC Change Request Form, number SCR042902-01, dated 04/29/02, Titled: Use CLEC internal repair ticket number on CLEC bill to identify maintenance & repair charges

CR Description: Currently when Qwest bills a CLEC for repair and maintenance charges, the CLEC is unable to reconcile the bill with the Qwest ticket. Eschelon requests that upon completion of SCR030702-1, Qwest uses the CLEC's internal ticket number on the bill sent to the CLEC. This will allow the CLEC to reconcile repair and Maintenance charges and determine if the charge is appropriate.

History: A clarification meeting was held on 05/09/02.

Qwest Response: The changes proposed by this request are extensive. The complexity of the change is due to the re-architecting of the three Qwest billing environments. The re-architecting would include the changes necessary for the billing master files to accommodate the trouble ticket number field and updates to the service order generation system, posting data validation and business rule logic. All billing media formats would need to be changed to accommodate the trouble ticket field.

Because of these extensive changes, Qwest is denying this request for economically not feasible. Below is a high level itemization of the LOE for this request.

Summary of LOE

Billing Systems Changes (CRIS) $1,029,461.00 Ordering Systems Changes $ 67,334.00 Billing System Changes (IABS) $ 23,162.00 Trouble Reporting System Changes $ 14,813.00 TOTAL $1,134,770.00

Qwest

REVISED RESPONSE

September 11, 2002

RE: SCR042902-01 & SCR060402-04

SCR042902-01 (Use CLEC internal repair ticket number on CLEC bill to identify maintenance & repair charges)

SCR060402-04 (BillMate to include CKT ID and date of Qwest dispatch for TIC, MOS, Dispatch and Optional Testing charges)

Based upon the collaborative discussions held regarding SCR042902-01 and SCR060402-04 Qwest has devised a high level approach to meeting the requirements as clarified for these CRs. Based upon the scope of these CRs as agreed to in the Multiple CR Synergy Meeting (held August 27, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 3900 to 4300 hours for these Change Requests. In providing this LOE, Qwest is making the following assumptions:

- CLEC repair ticket number will be passed to Wholesale Billing interface (per SCR030702-1) - User interface will pass charge information - Wholesale Billing interface will expand the existing OC&C records to accept and retain CLEC repair ticket number and Qwest repair ticket number - Bill format will change to display CLEC repair ticket number and Qwest repair ticket number - BillMate will change to populate CLEC repair ticket number and Qwest repair ticket number - BillMate will populate Circuit ID (TN) when Circuit ID (TN) is displayed on the bill - BillMate will populate Date of Repair when Date of Repair is displayed on the bill

Qwest will seek to implement SCR042902-01 and SCR060402-04 concurrently based upon the synergies that exist between the two CRs. Qwest continues to review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of these requests. Qwest does not expect to implement these CRs prior to first quarter, 2003. Additional information regarding these CRs will be reported via the normal Change Management procedures.

RE: SCR042902-01 (Use CLEC internal repair ticket number on CLEC bill to identify maintenance & repair charges)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR042902-01. As discussed and agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held May 8, 2002), Change Request SCR042902-01 has a necessary dependency on Change Request SCR030702-1 (CLEC Trouble Ticket cross-reference). At this time, SCR030702-1 has not been sufficiently defined to allow Qwest to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) for dependent Change Request SCR042902-01. Qwest is anticipating that SCR042902-01 would be a Wholesale Billing Interface 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.

Once SCR030702-1 has been sufficiently defined Qwest will develop an estimated LOE for SCR042902-01 and will notify CMP participants through the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting of that LOE.

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest delivers Toll Free Calling records typed as 110105. When Eschelon receives these records we need to manipulate our system to pull additional information to determine that the record is for a toll free call. The OBF standard to report Access Minutes of use for a Feature Group D 800 Data Base Service is type 110125. Eschelon asks Qwest to conform to the OBF EMI industry standard by changing the delivery of records from typed 110105 to type 110125 for the Central Region as it does now for the Eastern and Western Regions.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLE:

Qwest will deliver Toll Free Calling records typed as 110125 to conform to the OBF EMI industry standard.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that this CR is working fine, thank you, and can be closed.

September 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest has updated the status to "Development" with a target implementation date of 11/14/02.

June 20, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck (Qwest) reviewed that 2 CRs were opened at the same time. He indicated that McLeod has agreed to withdraw their CR. He looks to McLeod to ensure that what they requested is currently included in the Eschelon CR. Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) reviewed what Eschelon is looking for in this CR. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that unless McLeod wants to add anything, this CR is clear. Qwest will take this back and schedule the work. Carol Whitson (McLeod) agreed that the Eschelon CR meets her need. Carla Pardee (AT&T) stated that AT&T also has an interest in this CR Michael Buck (Qwest) indicated that the CR will be updated to reflect this, as well as updated to ‘Presented’.

May 30, 2002 Email sent to Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA: Your submitted CR, SCR042902-03 UNE Access Records, has been updated to Pending Withdrawal Status in preparation for your withdrawal at the June Systems CMP Meeting. Eschelon's submitted CR, SCR042902-02, has also been noted with your co-sponsorship request.

May 30, 2002 Email received from Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA: You may with draw my request [SCR042902-03]. I spoke with Eschelson and I am willing to withdraw mine. I would like to co sponsor the request from eschelson if that is possible. Please let me know if we can do that?

May 24, 2002 Email sent to Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA regarding SCR042902-03: Would you please advise me of the status of this CR? At the Clarification Meeting held on May 9th, you stated that you would contact Eschelon to discuss the withdrawal of one of the CR's since they seem to be a duplicate of each other. Eschelon's CR is SCR042902-02. As a result of the duplication with SCR042902-02 submitted by Eschelon and your discussion with them, can we anticipate that one of these requests will be withdrawn at the June 20th System's CMP Meeting? These CR's are both scheduled to be brought forward to the CLEC Community on June 20, 2002.

May 9, 2002 Additional information: Alan Zimmerman/Qwest advised that the 110125 records had a different distinction's between EC to IC and EC to EC. That distinction is what was eliminated. The 110125 records contain shaded areas which are optional and contain default values. Qwest will attempt to discuss as a walk-on at the next OBF Meeting to unshade those areas and make them required, as data is required for billing.

Clarification Meeting - May 8, 2002: Attendees - Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Alan Zimmerman/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Doug Warren/Qwest Kathy Stichter/Eschelon is requesting that 110125 records be provided in lieu of 110105's in the Central region. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that per OBF Issue 1953, the 1101025 records have been eliminated. Information is on page 3 of 320 of the document. Alan stated that other RBOC's are doing 110125's and the note in regard to EMI standards needs to be reviewed. Alan stated that the elimination of the 110125 records needs to be either reversed, at OBF, or the 110105's need to be provided. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she needs to discuss this with her people. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest advised that a request was also received from McLeod USA and is a potential duplicate.

Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) reviewed what Eschelon is looking for. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if there were any other CLEC comments. No one responded. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that Qwest thinks the list that Dan [Busetti (Qwest)] gave to Eschelon is the ANSI standard list—those are the trouble codes that are supported by the Qwest downstream systems and Qwest technicians. Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) responded that she was sorry that she has not gotten the list back from her people. Michael Buck (Qwest) indicated that this would be updated to presented. Eschelon has an action item to get back to Qwest to let them know which status codes are to be used. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) suggested that Qwest open it up to other CLECs that use CEMR, if they would like to use codes.

5/28/02 Clarification Meeting Attendees: Kathy Stichter - Eschelon Dan Busetti - Qwest, Kathy Garcia - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest The purpose of this call was to clarify this change request submitted by Eschelon. Kathy Stichter - Eschelon reviewed the request stating that Eschelon was looking to add not only static and noise categories for Design Services Ticket but others as well. Static and Noise were just examples. Dan Busetti/Qwest said that we could provide the list of categories and Eschelon could choose from that list. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if this information was on the web and Dan Busetti/Qwest said that he would forward the information to Lynn Stecklein/Qwest. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked if the LOE would be impacted whether we added 2 new categories or more categories. Dan Busetti/Qwest said it would not make a difference. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon also asked whether you choose from a "pull down" menu and Dan Busetti/Qwest said yes. Lynn Stecklein will forward the information from Dan Busetti to Kathy Stichter/Eschelon.

6/20/02 Systems CMP Monthly Meeting

Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) reviewed what Eschelon is looking for. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if there were any other comments. There were no other CLEC comments. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that this is another straightforward CR. He indicated that the only issue is the August release just mentioned. Qwest will look to review this as to when this work can be scheduled. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if anyone has a problem with updating the title to include the User ID? Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) confirmed that Eschelon does not have a problem with that. Status will be updated to ‘Presented’.

5/28/02 Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Kathy Stichter - Eschelon, Dan Busetti - Qwest, Kathy Garcia - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees

Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change

The purpose of this meeting was to clarify SCR052202-01 with Eschelon. Kathy Stichter / Eschelon reviewed request. Eschelon would like the User ID of the person generating the trouble report be added on the report. This is to ensure that everyone is in compliance with using CEMR instead of calling the trouble in.

Dan Busetti/Qwest said that this addition would be good for Qwest also. Kathy Garcia/Qwest said that we could provide a report by Center. Dan Busetti/Qwest said that we could generate a new report, however, Qwest just recently created a report that provides all trouble tickets generated by Eschelon. (SCR102901-1) We could just add the User ID to that report.

No further discussion was necessary as Qwest understands Eschelon's request.

RE: SCR052202-01 (CEMR usage report enhancement)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR052202-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held May 28, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 50 to 200 hours for this CEMR 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. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR052202-01.

Sincerely, Jeff Thompson Qwest, Information Technologies

Description Of Change

Currently when Qwest discovers an error in what it has billed a CLEC or when a rate is changing it sends a high level notification and then follows with a spreadsheet of the changes. Currently Qwest is populating the spreadsheet with all of the USOCs that a CLEC is allowed to order via its Interconnection Agreement. Eschelon wants to see somewhere on the spreadsheet which USOCs it is actually ordering. Qwest sent Eschelon a spreadsheet in February and Eschelon was currently only using 1 USOC out of over 3000 represented. The process took hours to look up each USOC to determine what Qwest was incorrectly billing and what would actually impact Eschelon's current invoices.

Expected Deliverables: Spreadsheets with rate changes should indicate which USOCs the CLEC is currently ordering. An alternative is that only USOCs that are currently or have been billed by Qwest to CLEC in the past is reflected on the rate notification rate sheet.

Description Of Change

Currently when Qwest discovers an error in what it has billed a CLEC or changes a rate it sends a high level notification and then follows with a spreadsheet of the changes. Currently Qwest is populating the spreadsheet with 1minus discount, ending with a percentage or Qwest will provide a tariffed rate rather than the rate less the discount percent that shows up on the invoice. Eschelon asks Qwest to supply the actual incorrect rate (money amount) and the actual correct rate (money amount). Example, if Eschelon is billed $10.00 for a line and the $10.00 is the rate that shows on the bill, and that rate changes to $9.00, then on the notification, Eschelon should see $10.00 as existing rate and $9.00 as new rate. Also, the effective date of the corrected rate should be when the rate was first billed incorrectly. It should not be an effective date made up by Qwest.

Expected Deliverables: Spreadsheets with rate changes should show the actual rate (money amount) being billed incorrectly and not the percentage or tariffed rate. Spreadsheet should show the correct rate that will be billed going forward (money amount). Effective dates should be date when rate was first billed incorrectly.

Description Of Change

Currently when a CLEC submits an LSR in IMA and the APTCON field is populated from then AS, and the CLEC needs to supp the order with a DD change, the CLEC is able to secure a new appointmnet is AS, however, cannot populate that information in IMA. The CLEC is required to open an escalation ticket with Qwest and have the first appointment "deleted" from the LSR. The CLEC can then update the APTCON field with the new data. When the CLEC needs to open an escalation ticket it hinders productivity and causes an extra step in the process. This is especially burdomsome since the requirement of AS with the Loop with LNP process on coordinated cuts in the 9.0 release for IMA.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest will update IMA to allow a CLEC to sup an order with a DD change when an appointment is required using the new date secured from the AS without calling Qwest to delete the original appointment.

Project Meetings

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon is requesting that IMA be updated to allow Appointment Scheduler change on due date Supp without escalation to delete original appointment. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that first appointment would automatically be cancelled and asked Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon if she was okay with that. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said yes. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the request and has provided an LOE in the CR response. This request is eligible for the 12.0 vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked how Retail does this. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Wholesale is so good, we do it for you. Retail has to do it themselves.

June 26, 2002 CLEC Meeting Notes - (from Kimberly Powers): Request is to be able to change scheduled appointments when due date changes are necessary. It was stated that currently the CLEC has to call the service center to have their existing appointment cancelled and then they can use IMA to create a new appointment. - IMA would need to add new functionality in the pre-order GUI. Possible paths: 1) the ability to cancel an existing appointment in a separate step from the appointment scheduling capability (i.e. CLEC cancels existing then requests new appointment using current functionality). 2) the ability to cancel and reschedule an appointment in one step (i.e. CLEC requests to reschedule and the old is automatically cancelled when the new is reserved). - The developer worksheets do have a worksheet for EDI for cancels that allow CLECs to cancel appointments and TNs that have been reserved. If a new appointment or TN is needed they need to use the regular pre-order appointment and TN functionality. Similar functionality may not be in the GUI.

Description Of Change

When processing an LSR, if a CLEC has a question on how to populate a field on the LSR, the CLEC has to go to a different source and spend time searching for information in the Qwest LSOG documentation that relates to each LSR field. This LSOG provides critical information for each field on an LSR. By placing a link to the Qwest LSOG data for each field, it would allow the CLEC processing the order quick and accurate information on how to populate the field with the required information. This will increase order accuracy, enhancing flow through success and reduce rejects for the CLEC's. Qwest and the CLEC's will become more efficient and reduce the cost of doing business.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked Kim Isaacs/Eschelon if she tested this. Kim said that she did test and it is working. The links are now to the correct LSOG version.

Connie Winston/Qwest said thank you and that we had to put a process change in so that when the QLSOG is updating, we are linking at the correct time.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon was ok to close this CR.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that this is a browser-based tool Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this would be Business Rules or Qwest LSOG. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that this would be for Qwest LSOG and will use a hyperlink. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner Telecom asked if a hyperlink was better than a Database. Jeff Thompson/Qwest advised yes. Michael Buck/Qwest said that Qwest understands the request and has provided an LOE in the CR response. The status of this change request will be changed to Pending Prioritization.

6/26/02 Clarification Meeting Request that each field name provide a link to the LSOG description of that field (intelligent help at a field level). Michael Buck/Qwest mentioned that there is a related CR and it sounded like the related CR was requesting a glossary of definitions at a field level which is similar but not exactly the same. The biggest challenge would be finding a way to link the LSOG with IMA. Would IMA have to store a copy of the LSOG or link to a server that contains the LSOG? Need to investigate what happens if the LSOG changes or the field changes. Also, need to ensure the link is maintained correctly.

Description Of Change

Currently when a CLEC submits an LSR using the recap function, a CSR may have inaccurate FID data associated with a USOC. When placing a value of "D" or "C" in the FA field for the USOC, IMA edits the FID data and forces a correction if it is not accurate or valid data. For example, if a TN float under a USOC or a call forward number has 7 digits carried over from the CSR, even though you are disconnecting that USOC on the LSR, IMA requires you to correct the TN to 10 digits. This adds no value to the LSR and requires additional time an effort on the part of the CLEC. This is especially burdomsome on an account with multiple TN's.

Dear Ms. Balvin:

This letter is in response to your formal escalation (number SCR062702-09-E07) regarding CLEC Change Request number SCR062702-09 “Remove FID accuracy edit in IMA when the value is "C" or "D" in the FA field for a USOC,” dated June 27, 2002.

Qwest has reviewed the formal escalation and maintains its position that this is not a production support issue and therefore cannot be implemented in a production patch. In researching this item, Qwest has determined that there is an option that could be explored to resolve this situation. Given that this change has been prioritized by the CLEC community for implementation in 13.0, and that several CLECs have supported this escalation, Qwest would like to pursue this matter as an Exception Request to be initiated by Qwest.

Section 8.0 of the CMP document, states “Past Releases of IMA EDI will only be modified as a result of production support changes. When such production support changes are made, Qwest will also modify the related documentation. All other changes become candidates for future IMA EDI Releases.” Additionally, Qwest has determined that SCR062702-09 is neither CLEC code impacting nor requires updates to systems documentation. Therefore, Qwest plans to take action using the CMP Exception Process to work this candidate as quickly as possible, for all existing releases of IMA, prior to the implementation of the next major release for which it is currently prioritized.

Qwest would like to initiate the aforementioned Exception Request as soon as possible and will consider your Escalation Response email as authorization to move forward with this proposed solution.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any questions.

1/29/03 Escalation Received from WorldCom

Description: WCom identified production defect with EDI 10.0. The customer service record (CSR) retrieval pre-order query lacks required ordering information.

History: WCom received a "fatal" reject via EDI 10.0 due to Business Processing Layer (BPL) edit that requires a 10 digit TN be populated yet the CSR responded with only 7 digits (lacked area code) [PON: S011507695QWAZPR 4806491751]. Qwest initiated an internal change request. Qwest determined an Eschelon change request existed (SCR062702-09) that would correct this production defect by lifting the edit on features that are to be changed or disconnected. The open change request is evidence that CLECs are impacted.

Reason for Escalation: Qwest's invalid reject places CLECs at a competitive disadvantage. Burden should not be placed on CLECs to obtain area codes for numbers that will be changed or disconnected upon migration. Documented business rules cannot be systematically supported.

Business need and impact: Call Forwarding is a standard offering of WCom's local services, thus impact is severe. All CLECs are impacted because preorder to order integration cannot be supported. In addition, this evidence proves Qwest CSRs are not accurately reflecting information that is programmed into the Qwest switches.

Desired CLEC resolution: That the FID accuracy edit be lifted in a production patch.

CLEC Contact Information: Liz Balvin, Carrier Management, 303-217-7305, Liz.Balvin@wcom.com

Qwest's recommended work around procedures will not support the flow through capabilities necessary for WCom's commercial volumes of UNE-P migrations.

12/29/02 Systems CMP Meeting

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the information that is currently in a retest information is incorrect, the most common problem is with ten digits, until they have seven digits. Although you are deleting or changing information, it makes you, correct the old one. If you have a 20-line account, it makes you correct every one. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that it sounds like you are still doing a stare & compare (this is similar to #51) however, it would just be on the maintenance orders. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon that these would be on conversion orders. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the migrate as specified with 12 is no stare & compare for everything but complex features Connie Winston/Qwest said that by that you indicate what you want the result to be .Liz Balvin/WorldCom said you provide the end state of what you want. Now you have to use a V or an N and that comparison will be eliminated and they will be all Ns. It would include all features, even if it is a complex feature. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said complex features like call forwarding. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if you ordered call forwarding you would have to put an N next to it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that’s what we want to validate, we won’t get into the edit loop looking at CSR data. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if #35 are for migration activity, because # 51 are for maintenance. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the one going into 12.0 is UNE-P and you have a couple other products here. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if they wanted to keep in the vote. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated yes.

7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting

SCR062702-09 Remove FID accuracy edit in IMA when the value is "C" or "D" in the FA field for a USOC. (Originated by Eschelon)

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon is asking Qwest to remove the FID accuracy edit in IMA when the value is C or D in the FA field for a USOC. Connie Winston/Qwest indicated the Interface Impacted would be changed to IMA Common. Michael Buck/Qwest said that Qwest understands the request and has provided an LOE in the CR response. The status of this change request will be changed to Pending Prioritization.

7/9/02 Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon, Berkley Loggie - Qwest, Monica Manning - Qwest, Bret Birkholz - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon reviewed CR. Eschelon would like the FID accuracy edit in IMA when the value is "C" or "D" in the FA field for a USOC. When an LSR is submitted using the recap feature, a CSR may have inaccurate FID data associated with a USOC. When placing a value in the FA field for the USOC, IMA edits the FID data and forces a correction if it is not accurate or valid data. The most common occurrence is with the 10 digit TN. This is because the TN data was not converted to add the area code. Eschelon feels that having to correct the C or D portion is a waste of time.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted Resale, UNE-P, Centrex

Confirm Right Personnel All appropriate personnel were involved in the clarification call.

Identify/Confirm CLEC's Expectation Eschelon would like the FID accuracy edit in IMA removed when the value is "C" or "D" in the FA field for a USOC.

Identify any Dependent Change Requests NA

Establish Action Plan This CR will be presented at the July CMP Systems Meeting.

Description Of Change

Currently when a CLEC submits an LSR, IMA generates an OC. The OC is a replica of all forms used on the LSR. There are generally a significant amount of sections for each form not populated on the LSR. Omit any unpopulated sections of the LSR. It is very difficult to assess what was requested on an LSR by viewing the OC. This includes feature detail 1-14. Even though you may have only 1 feature, all 14 sections appear unpopulated.

Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that IMA 23.0 is scheduled in April of 2008. Note: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon said that candidate number 7 - SCR121306-01 Enable the EOS Field on the Directory Listing Form is on the Commitment List for IMA 22.0. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that we will remove that candidate from the IMA 23.0 list. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the Prioritization Instructions and spreadsheet candidate list are included in this attachment. She stated that there are 11 candidates on the list. She said that Qwest and the CLEC ranks each CR on the list by providing a point value from 1 through 11. Peggy said that the highest point value (11) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented first. The next point value (10) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. The lowest point value (1) should be assigned to the least desired CR. Peggy stated that the total points will be calculated by the Qwest CMP Manager and the results will be distributed to the CLECs via mailout within 2 business days following the submission of the ranking. Peggy reviewed the timelines associated with prioritization: - Qwest Re-Distributes the Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 20th - The Completed Prioritization Form will be submitted to cmpcr@qwest.com by 5 pm MT on August 23rd. - Qwest e-mails the Initital Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 27th. - Peggy asked if everyone would like to provide their top 2 candidates. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that their top candidate is #9 SCR062906-03 Allow End State Ordering for Resale POTS Service. Integra – no response Jeff Sonnier-Sprint said that he would send an e-mail with this information. Note: 8/17/07 - E-mail received from Sprint with top 2 candidates: 1.

2/16/05 CMP Systems Meeting - IMA 18.0 Candidate Discussion

There was no discussion on this CR.

7/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting 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.

Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that this was a low priority for Eschelon.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with SCR103102-01.

From the 6/26/02 call with the CLECs:

Request that the Order Confirmation screen only include the fields that were populated on the LSR. The scenario presented was that a CLEC creates an LSR and the hunting field, Transfer of Calls fields, etc. are not populated by the CLEC. When they submit the order, IMA returns a confirmation screen that allows the CLEC to review the LSR before it is edited by IMA. The confirmation screen includes the hunting fields and TC fields even thought they were not populated. It sounds like this then presents the CLEC with a number of pages to scan through with most of it being blank. - It was also mentioned that multiple features fields also show up as blank.

Description Of Change

Minimize resale form and resale Centrex form screen to allow a CLEC submitting an LSR to view the TN and the features in the same screen shot without using the slide bar to go up and down. In addition, when going from one TN to another using the slide bar on the top of the screen, you are forced to adjust your screen if viewing the features. For example, you are submitting an LSR without multiple TN's. You view your first TN and have to adjust to see it's features, then to view the next TN you have to adjust again to get to the TN then again to get to the second TN's features and so on. This process is very cumbersome and leaves room for error as your features may not get added to the correct TN's.

The meeting notice included copies of the agenda and the candidate overview document. Kyle explained that the walkthrough would cover the candidates, the candidate impacts to the associated documentation, and the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation overview.

Functional Overview extracted from Notice: With this enhancement, IMA will change the GUI layout to reduce or eliminate scrolling required to input LSR for Port Service (PS Form), Resale Service (RS Form), Centrex Resale Service (CRS Form), Resale Service Split (RSS Form), Centrex Resale Service Split (CRSS Form). Impacts to the CLECs are that the screens will look differently in pre-order as seen in the screen prints above. Functionality, field requirement edits/formats will not change. Form Impacts: IMA GUI screens for the Port Service, Resale Service, Centrex Resale Service, Resale Service Split and Centrex Resale Service Split forms will be reformatted to reduce or eliminate the need to scroll when filling out the form. Products: Resale, Centrex Resale, Resale Split, Centrex Resale Split, UNE-P POTS. Activities: All ACTs are impacted with this change for the products listed above.

Walkthrough Discussion: Anne Robberson reviewed the information provided in the candidate overview document circulated with the meeting agenda and the meeting notification announcement.

- May 18, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments regarding the IMA 18.0 Packaging, in attachment M. There were questions or comments brought forward.

-- April 26, 2005 Ad Hoc Meeting Minutes Attendees: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Tom Larson-Cox Communications, Anne Robberson-Qwest, Crystal Soderlund-Qwest, Chuck Anderson-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest

Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that Qwest wanted to go over, with the CLEC Community, some possible changes to the Resale, Centrex, and Port Services Screens/Forms for this Change Request that was submitted by Eschelon. Peggy stated that the CR’s title is Mimimize resale form and Centrex Resale form screen to allow a CLEC to view a TN and its features and change to the next TN without adjusting the screen. Peggy noted that the screen mock-ups were provided with the meeting notification that was sent on April 19th and that they should be referenced during this call. Peggy asked if there questions so far. There were none. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that Qwest looked at reducing the amount of scroll navigations and data entry for these screens. Chuck stated that there was a new tab for details and stated that he would like to review the screens and see if the fields were in the right places and that if they were grouped together appropriately. Chuck noted that he would like feedback so that nothing would be missed. Chuck reviewed the Resale Form and noted that the left side of the screen contained the LNUM, LNA, TNS, TN List, OTN, PIC, LPIC, and NPI fields. Chuck stated that the Miscellaneous tab could be named differently, if needed. Chuck stated that transfer of calls appears at the bottom of the screen and that TSP was at the top. Chuck then asked if their placement was okay. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that the screens looked good and noted that Eschelon was very excited to see that the information can be viewed without scrolling. Kim asked if when they tab through the left side of the screen, if they would then click on the TERS field. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that the focus was that it would tab to the first field, which is TERS. Chuck asked if there was a tab navigation preference. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that she would like that if she is in the LPIC field and hits the tab key that it navigates to the Miscellaneous tab. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that he would look into seeing if can work on the tab navigation. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that se did not want this to result in a big increase to the LOE and noted that it was not that big of an issue. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that he would take it into consideration. Chuck then reviewed the Features tab and stated that it is different due to the FID Guide. Chuck stated that the Feature Detail box was cut in half and some things were moved to the right of the Feature Detail box, on one of the screens. Chuck asked if there was a preference. Chuck noted that if you hit the Features tab and hit add, you would be able to see everything, with a higher resolution. Chuck noted that with a resolution of 800 x 600 all scrolling would not be eliminated. Chuck asked if there was a preference for scrolling. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that she preferred that the Feature Detail/Format Guide had the scrolling instead of the Feature Detail field. Chuck Anderson-Qwest state that the scrolling would be in the Feature Detail/Format Guide, like shown in the mock-up. Chuck then reviewed the Centrex Resale for and stated that it is similar to the other screens. Chuck stated that the left side contains a LOCNUM field which is not on the Resale form and that the LSCP field is in a different location the on the Resale form. Chuck stated that for Centrex it is a slightly different feel. Chuck noted that on the Miscellaneous tab, the BLOCK objects would have a little scrolling. Chuck then noted that the Features tab would not have horizontal scrolling. Chuck stated that BLOCKs would be more frequent. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that on the Resale form if blocking were on the Inside Wire tab, if it could have no scrolling. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that he would try to move it there. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that she would like LSCP on the Inside Wire tab as well in order to group consistently product-by-product. Chuck Anderson-Qwest asked if the preference was to move to the Inside Wire frame or to move to the left side. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that she had no preference she just wants consistency. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that he would look into moving blocking and making LSCP consistent. Chuck stated that it should be doable. Chuck then noted that the Features tab is similar to the others, but does not have the Feature Detail/Format Guide. Chuck stated that a resolution of 800 x 600 would result in scrolling. Chuck stated that in order to not have to scroll, a resolution of 1024 x 768 would need to be used. Chuck noted that the Port Service form was included due to UNE-P conversions. Chuck stated that blocking was on the CFA tab and noted that when do realignments, the Inside Wire tab may be compressed to avoid scrolling and would need to fit it in, except where block is taken care of wit CFA. Chuck then noted that the LSCP field would be in the Inside Wire tab. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that the mock ups that were provided was the first effort and noted that other forms may be entertained and would focus on the heavy used forms. Chuck asked if there were any other suggestions as to different groupings. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that she had no issues with the groupings, is pretty intuitive the way things are grouped. Kim then stated that Eschelon liked this fist look. Kim then noted that this looks like SBCs format so it will feel familiar to the CLECs. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that a lot of applications use the side-by-side views and noted that there could be future growth for new fields. Chuck Anderson-Qwest stated that on the Miscellaneous tabs he wanted to point out that there would be no Add, Delete Current, Clear Current, or Delete All buttons because is at the same of the service order. There were no additional questions or comments.

-- February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: There was no discussion on this CR.

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. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that this was a medium-low for Eschelon.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): 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.

-- January 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR is a medium priority for Eschelon.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that this has moderate interest for this CR.

- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding IMA 14.0 Prioritization: Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this was GUI only. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that yes it is. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this was GUI only and Connie Winston/Qwest said-yes.

-- December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said this is a CR we submitted when inputting into the IMA GUI the Centrex resale form is difficult to maneuver and not all information is available in one view so we are asking to have that minimized.

- Clarification meeting was held on July 9, 2002 The attendees were: Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon Berkley Loggie - Qwest Bret Birkholz - Qwest Mark Routh - Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed - Qwest Monica Manning - Qwest

Mark opened the meeting. Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed. Mark read the Change Request Title and description. Bonnie described the CR and reiterated that the request was specifically for the Resale and Centrex Resale form screens. She indicated that a user could not view the TN and the associated features at the same time, and that the user would have to toggle back and forth on the form in order to see the information. She indicated that it is easy for a user to confuse the TN and associated feature information. She said that there is no easy way to view the TN and the associated features on the form. Bonnie suggested that if Qwest could minimize the form so that everything would fit on one screen, then the user wouldn't need to scroll up and down to see all the information. Mark asked if the screen aspect resolution could be increased for the IMA GUI. Bret indicated that he wasn't sure. He asked Bonnie if there was an issue with the side to side scrolling or just up and down. Bonnie indicated that it was just the up and down scrolling that was the issue. Bonnie asked if there was a way to rearrange the fields on the screen so that the TN was closer to the features so the user wouldn't have to scroll up and down. Mark summarized the request to be that the user would like to elliminate the need to scroll up and down to see the features associated with the TN. There were no other questions or comments.

RE: SCR062702-05 (Minimize resale form and Centrex resale form screen to allow a CLEC to view a TN and it's features and change to the next TN without adjusting the screen.)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR062702-05. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held on July 9, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1500 to 2500 hours for this IMA 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 is eligible to be prioritized in the IMA 12.0 prioritization vote which will be conducted after the CR Review in the July 18th Systems CMP monthly meeting.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Currently when a CLEC places a change order on a customers account and the CSR has not been updated from the conversion LSR, the CLEC uses a manual process that is time consuming and leads to rejects in error and service order errors. Create a field in IMA for speciific use for this type of order only. When this field is populated, the Qwest order typist will know there is a completed conversion order that has not posted. Remarks would include the order number and DD of the conversion. The field being marked would set the LSR to manual handling automatically. This field would allow a change order activity when the CSR does not show the CLEC's RSID or ZSID. Using the current process causes confusion and is additional work for the CLEC's

Expected Deliverable:

Create a field in IMA using only for the purpose of submitting change orders after a conversion when the CSR has not posted. Allow CLEC's to select change order activity as a request type using this field.

Project Meetings

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if the order that clicks on this new field, will it have to be the original order or the change order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated it would be the change order. Liz Balvin/WorldCom very happy to hear that Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also very happy.

February 19, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom requesting a walk-on item for discussion at the February Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Eschelon's CR SCR062702-10 - "Create field in IMA that can be checked to flag this LSR is to place a change order on an account where the CSR is not updated from the conversion activity". WCom would like to verify the intent of this CR against what Qwest is actually implementing. Eschelon request states "Currently when a CLEC places a change order on a customers account and the CSR has not been updated from the conversion LSR, the CLEC uses a manual process that is time consuming and leads to rejects in error and service order errors. Create a field in IMA for specific use for this type of order only. When this field is populated, the Qwest order typist will know there is a completed conversion order that has not posted. Remarks would include the order number and DD of the conversion. The field being marked would set the LSR to manual handling automatically. This field would allow a change order activity when the CSR does not show the CLEC's RSID or ZSID. Using the current process causes confusion and is additional work for the CLEC's". This may resolve the issue WCom identified as follows: "Delays in updating customer service records (CSR). Post-migration Qwest will house multiple "live" CSRs until old account bill is rendered, paid and posted (up to 90 days). To reduce ownership failure rejects on maintenance orders prior to CSR updates, WCom has developed to capture customer code information supplied on the FOC and SOC notifications. (if prior to SOC, FOC CC provided / if after SOC, SOC CC provided) --Examples whereby customer code details differ between FOC and SOC were provided to Qwest and Qwest admits there may be differences. In addition, Qwest admits there may be additional changes when the CSR finally does get updated. --Ownership failure will exist even if CC is populated because BPL "ownership" edit. Qwest work around cannot be supported by WCom. Qwest recommends sending new order (exactly as initial but with new PON), marked for manual handling, identify features and pending order activity in remarks. WCom systems designed to not accept multiple orders for the same TNs. To cancel the original order, WCom would loose valuable life cycle information for end users. --Result, CLECs forced to wait until update occurs to process maintenance orders. Question: When this field is implemented, will the order type be "a change order" or will there continue to be a requirement to send a duplicate migration order?

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon is requesting a field in IMA that can be checked when the CLEC places a change order on a Customers account and the CSR has not been updated from the conversion. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also said that the manual process in place is very cumbersome. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon also said that if a field was checked, they would want it to fallout for auto manual handling and that they would still need remarks. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that clicking the field would be like setting to manual handling. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that it would not allow flow through because it still goes to the SDC. This could be tracked, by the CLECs, whenever the functionality is implemented. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she knows that Jonathan Spangler/AT&T has a separate issue. This is due to failure of a manual process not working and hopes to reduce the number of rejects in error. The LOE is provided in the CR response and the CR is eligible for the 12.0 vote. The status will be changed to Pending Prioritization.

Subsequent Clarification Meeting July 9, 2002: Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Bret Birkholz/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR description was reviewed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR was submitted as an alternate solution to updating the CSR within 24 hours. Eschelon is asking for a field that can populated for a C order on an account where a conversion has not yet posted to the bill. Does not want to put in manual handling and put a lot of remarks on the LSR. Would like the field to to require the PON, order number, and due date of the conversion order. Is asking for a system solution to the manual workaround process.

June 26, 2002 CLEC Meeting Notes - Initial Clarification Meeting: Requested a field that could be populated by CLECs that would indicate that the account was recently converted (but hasn’t been updated to the CSR) and allow a change request to be submitted. - If IMA is truly not allowing the LSR to be accepted, there is a field that might be able to be modified to address this need. Currently there is a co-provider pending field on the LSR form. This field works in conjunction with several CSR edits to allow an LSR to be received if the CLEC recently sent in a new connect. For example, if IMA cannot find a live account (maybe it was disconnected) IMA would reject the request. However, if the CLEC knew that they had just sent in a new connect that would not have posted to CRIS yet then they could mark the Co-Provider pending field as yes and IMA would accept the LSR and it would be dropped to manual handling. This field is not currently used very much. The issue with using this field (or any field with a similar function) is that it would impact flowthrough because you would be going from a reject condition (which is not included in PO-2) to a manual condition (which is included in PO-2). - Another concern around this topic (and another CR) is that the CLEC cannot look at the CSR for a newly converted account and therefore are unsure of how to write the change request. Adding the field requested would not help this situation. There is an IMA candidate for release 10.1 that will provide a notification to the CLEC at about the time of the FOC that contains the S&E section of the orders created for the LSR.

Currently BillMate does not include the CKT ID from the repair ticket and the date is the due date of the service order not the date of the repair ticket. Without the correct date and the CKT ID it is impossible to determine if the charges are legitimate or not. Eschelon asks Qwest to include the CKT ID for design services and the date of the repair ticket for all TIC, Maintenance of Service Charges, Dispatch Charges and Optional Testing Charges on BillMate.

1/19/05 CMP Systems Meeting

Kathy Stichter/Eschelon agreed to close this CR.

12/15/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR is related to #11 SCR082902-01 (Circuit ID on MONSERV file) and #18 SCR121603-01 (Only Show the actual Circuit ID on all billing media in the Eastern Region). Jill stated that these CRs were deployed in December 2004. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she would like these CRs to remain in CLEC Test to validate their bills.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest opened a SCR121603-01 on 12/16/03 to address the zero fill issue in the Eastern Region and would like to close this action item. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that throughout all the discussion on this issue that they made their position clear. Bonnie stated that she was surprised that Qwest opened a CR Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest’s position is that zero fill is an enhancement because of the way the system works. Lynn stated that regardless of how we implement the change whether it is part of an existing CR or a bug fix, the issue would be resolved. Lynn suggested that we process the new CR and once the CR deploys, we will close all 3 CRs. The action item associated with this CR and SCR082902-01 will be closed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon agreed to close the action items.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is still evaluating this CR. She stated that we do not have a date or solution on the zero fill issue and would like to keep this CR open. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon requested that this CR be changed from CLEC Test to Evaluation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we wanted to make sure that this CR remained visible and that we would change the status to Evaluation. (Eschelon Comment Received 12/9/03: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon had an AI to meet internally and determine if Eschelon would agree to close this CR and allow Qwest to open a new CR. Bonnie said that meeting took place and Eschelon determine through the clarification and course of the CR, the reason for the request and intent of what the data would be used for. Eschelon requested this CR remain open until the zero fill is removed and the actual CKT ID is provided. )

October 24, 2003 Email Received from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Subject: MN CKT ID Zero fill I committed to providing a response on whether Eschelon agrees the CR (SCR082902-01) requesting the CKT ID on the MONTSERV should be closed. Qwest said it was willing to open a new CR to address the zero fill issue. Eschelon submitted this CR because Eschelon needed Qwest to provide CKT ID information on the bill Qwest sends Eschelon to validate Qwest charges. Eschelon believes this information is critical and Eschelon should be able to verify what Qwest is charging us for and believes the information should have already been provided to us. Eschelon has met internally and believes our business need was clearly communicated to Qwest during clarification calls and through the course of working this CR. When Qwest orders a CKT from Qwest, Qwest provides a CKT ID to Eschelon on the FOC. That CKT ID is then populated in internal Eschelon systems and appears on the Qwest CSR Qwest posts for that CKT ID. When Qwest provides the CKT ID on the FOC for Eschelon to populate in its systems, Qwest provides an standard CKT ID format that does not include the "zero fill" rule. However, when Qwest sends the CKT ID on the MN bill, Qwest does not use the same format for the CKT ID as it does on the FOC. Eschelon is then unable to compare the CKT ID on the bill to the CKT ID Qwest sent to Eschelon on the FOC. Eschelon asks that Qwest provide the CKT ID on the MN bills for the Eastern region in the same format Qwest sent on the FOC. Eschelon needs consistent data to validate Qwest charges. Eschelon does not feel it should have to close this CR because Qwest was clear on what Eschelon needed. Qwest should provide consistent CKT ID information on all communication. If Eschelon had known the CKT ID Qwest would provide on the MN bill had zero fills and would not match the CKT ID information Qwest sends on the FOC, Eschelon would have requested Qwest provide consistent data when Eschelon submitted the CR. Not only did Qwest not disclose the CKT ID would be different, it was Eschelon that told Qwest the CKT ID information was not consistent. Please let me know if you require an ad-hoc call. Thanks, Bonnie J. Johnson Director Carrier Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is still open because of questions associated with the zero fill issue in the Eastern Region. Connie said that it is Qwest’s opinion that we delivered the code this request was asking for. Connie stated that Qwest would like to close this CR and SCR082902-01 (Circuit ID on Monserv file) and that Qwest would open a CR to get the work done in the Eastern Region. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon and Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they would have an off-line discussion to determine if they want to close these CRs. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that Eschelon is not satisfied with the business rules. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we could have an off-line discussion if necessary.

9/21/03 CMP systems meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the business rules have been provided and that we have received feedback. Lynn stated that there was a mapping issue within the data that was fixed in early September. Lynn noted that the rules should now work. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

8/21/03 CMP systems meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that we posted the CKT ID Zero Fill Business Rules for the Eastern Region. Lynn stated that Kathy Stichter/Eschelon was nice enough to review the rules and was able to send some examples. Qwest is currently reviewing the examples and evaluating the business rules. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she appreciated the interim period effort in providing the rules, but I do believe the exception is that Qwest will provide that accurately. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she has alot of good background with circuit ids and that she had to read the business rules a couple of times and still felt that they were confusing. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she might have had a misunderstanding. Lynn said that her assumption was based on the discussion that we had with Kathy Stichter and Bill Markert and thought that Eschelon had a mechanized process for the the rules. Lynn also said that it sounds like this is a manual process. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said confirmed that it is a manual effort. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that it sounds like we need to continue to work on the rules and to work with Eschelon to make sure the rules are understandable. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they could go back and look at whether they could create a mechanized solution to use the business rules as well. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest will determine the feasibility of making any system changes and that sometimes those changes can be very large. Lynn also stated that we would look at the rules and possibly schedule a meeting for further clarification.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted last month we indicated that this had a 6/9 patch date. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that the dates are not accurate and are mostly in Washington. Kathy also stated that she had not been able to find a ticket in their system. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if Eschelon had this problem since 6/9. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said yes. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we will take an action item and may contact Eschelon for examples. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon noted that this one might also have the zero-fill problem. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that we would review and perhaps ask Kathy for more examples. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she just checked the June bills and the information is appearing on the bills and seems to be working correctly. Kathy stated that she would like to leave this open to check on the zero-fill issue.

6/19/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the patch went in on June 9th and that the notification had been sent. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that their bill dates are the 25th and the 1st. This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that this CR needs to remain open. They are not getting the Circuit Id for Oregon and Washington. She also said that there is a problem with the dates. Kathy said that she has opened a ticket and did not know if the ticket has been closed yet. She also said that she believed that is a compliance issue and that the centers are putting in the wrong dates.

Lynn, For CR 5043176, Better Explanations of OCC, the USOCs for MOS (Maintenance of Service Charges) are still not showing on our April 5, 2003 bills in Oregon, 503-Z05-0182 & 503-Z05-0210 and our March 25, 2003 bills in Washington, 206-Z25-0026, 206-Z25-0041, 206-Z25-0820. There was a patch that was to fix the problem on 3/14/03. For CR SCR060402-04, BillMate to include CKT ID and date of Qwest dispatch for MOS charges, the CKT IDs are still not showing on our April 1, 2003 bill in Minnesota, 320-Z01-0310 and our March 25, 2003 bills in Washington, 206-Z25-0026, 206-Z25-0041, 206-Z25-0820. This was to be effective on March 17, 2003. I called a ticket into the Help Desk, ticket number 6213921. Kathy Stichter Senior Invoice Validation Analyst Eschelon Telecom, Inc 612-436-6022 klstichter@eschelon.com

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there was a trouble ticket open against the CR that was closed with a Date TBD. There is now a patch date of 5/5/03. This CR will not close until the May CMP or the month after. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon noted that she has identified some other issues on the bill. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if Eschelon had opened a trouble ticket. She noted that opening a ticket is the best way to handle so that the trouble is tracked correctly and you have the ability to close when the issue is resolved. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she would open a trouble ticket.

2/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the target date for this change request March 17, 2003. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if this request is for all billing interfaces. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that the notification that went out indicates this request is just for the BillMate file.

1/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated we are in the design phase and moving into development on this change request. We don’t have a target implementation date but hope to provide a date in the February meeting. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this action item would remain open.

7/18/02 July CMP Systems Meeting SCR060402-04 BillMate to include CKT ID and date of Qwest dispatch for TIC, MOS, Dispatch and Optional Testing charges (Originated by Eschelon) Kathy Stichter/ Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon would like the BillMate files for repair charges for TIC, MOS, etc to include the Circuit ID and match it to the corresponding Eschelon ticket to validate charges. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said this is very similar to a CR discussed last month that was asking to put the ticket number on the CLEC bill. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Qwest is receiving requests asking for similar functionality. Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked the CLEC Community if we could possibly combine some of these CRs and state in one place what is being requested. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that if we provide some of this information the CLEC could look up some of the information on their side of the house. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she did not know what would easier to add to BillMate than others. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that she does not need all that that she has asked for. However, if we could get the 3rd request earlier, then Eschelon would want that. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that from Qwest’s point of view this CR would be easier to work than the one from last month. Sherry Lichtenberge/WorldCom asked why Qwest does not just use the ticket number the CLECs give you. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the CLEC is actually opening a ticket with us and we use our own tracking systems and ticket number. Sherry Lichtenberge/WorldCom said that she did not understand the problem. Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked Kathy Stichter/Eschelon to clarify what Eschelon was asking for. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that they were asking to see their ticket number on the bill. However, we could live with the Qwest ticket number if it costs less. Terry Wicks/Allegiance said that a call should be scheduled to discuss all these CRs. He said that he opened a CR yesterday associated with calling in a manual ticket. Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked if Kathy Stichter/Eschelon was ok with this plan. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said yes, but she wants this CR to stand out. Michael Buck/Qwest said that CMP will schedule a meeting and bring forward any other open CRs that might fall into this discussion. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said she would send all open CRs that are applicable Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that the information that you are requiring in CEMR is not what appears on our bill. We have no way to reconcile the charges and hopefully, we can find a way to fix it. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the status on each of these CRs will be updated to evaluation until we determine what synergies exist. Everyone agreed.

6/11/02 Clarification Meeting

Name/Company Kathy Stichter - Eschelon Catherine Garcia - Qwest Doug Warren - Qwest Carl Sear - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Kathy Stichter reviewed CR. Currently BillMate does not include the CKT ID from the repair ticket and the date is the due date of the order not the date of the repair ticket. Eschelon is asking Qwest to include the CKT ID for design services and the date of the repair ticket for TIC, Maintenance of Service Charges, Dispatch, and Optional Testing charges.

Lynn Stecklein said that there were efforts underway to provide the date of the repair instead of the due date of the order and will take an action item to check with Alice Mathews/Process Specialist.

Catherine Garcia said that today a service order is issued and populated with specific information/fields received from repair. Qwest would need to research how and if the CKT ID could be added to the repair ticket

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted Repair/CEMR and BillMate

Confirm Right Personnel Involved Lynn Stecklein will contact Alice Mathews/Qwest Process Specialist to determine efforts already underway to address the portion of the CR pertaining to the Date of the repair ticket.

RE: SCR042902-01 & SCR060402-04

SCR042902-01 (Use CLEC internal repair ticket number on CLEC bill to identify maintenance & repair charges)

SCR060402-04 (BillMate to include CKT ID and date of Qwest dispatch for TIC, MOS, Dispatch and Optional Testing charges)

Based upon the collaborative discussions held regarding SCR042902-01 and SCR060402-04 Qwest has devised a high level approach to meeting the requirements as clarified for these CRs. Based upon the scope of these CRs as agreed to in the Multiple CR Synergy Meeting (held August 27, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 3900 to 4300 hours for these Change Requests. In providing this LOE, Qwest is making the following assumptions:

- CLEC repair ticket number will be passed to Wholesale Billing interface (per SCR030702-1) - User interface will pass charge information - Wholesale Billing interface will expand the existing OC&C records to accept and retain CLEC repair ticket number and Qwest repair ticket number - Bill format will change to display CLEC repair ticket number and Qwest repair ticket number - BillMate will change to populate CLEC repair ticket number and Qwest repair ticket number - BillMate will populate Circuit ID (TN) when Circuit ID (TN) is displayed on the bill - BillMate will populate Date of Repair when Date of Repair is displayed on the bill

Qwest will seek to implement SCR042902-01 and SCR060402-04 concurrently based upon the synergies that exist between the two CRs. Qwest continues to review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of these requests. Qwest does not expect to implement these CRs prior to first quarter, 2003. Additional information regarding these CRs will be reported via the normal Change Management procedures.

Description Of Change

Currently if an LSR is submitted and the FID following a USOC is a valid Qwest FID but not an eligible FID for the USOC it is following, there is no IMA up front edit to prevent that LSR from being submitted. Eschelon requests that Qwest update IMA upfront edits to prevent an LSR with a FID that is not eligible for the USOC it is following from passing through IMA edits. For example, if an LSR contains the USOC EVO ( call forward busy) and the FID CFND (call forward number don't answer) is floated on the LSR with that USOC, it will pass through IMA, flow through to the SOP on a flow through eligible order and will be manually typed on a service order if the error is not caught by the Qwest SDC. Since this is not a SOP edit at Qwest the order will "release" or go "pending" with the ineligible FID on the service order. This service order then falls out in to the Qwest translations error bucket and needs to be manually typed in the switch. This usually causes the customers service to "go down" during the conversion process until the error has been addressed by Qwest translations and has a negative impact on change orders where features are being added. In addition, this causes additional work for Qwest translations to maunually type orders that would nornally flow through the switch and Qwest order personnel working sups to correct and/or processing additional orders to correct if the error is not resolved on the DD and the Service Order completes.

Expected Deliverable:

IMA edits to prevent ineligible FID's with associated USOC's.

Project Meetings

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was descoped to the popular products; call forwarding features, blocking features, and custom ringing. The design has growth ability. An IMA Table has been built that has the capability to grow and change. There were no questions or comments.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Currently if an LSR is submitted and the FID following a USOC is a valid Qwest FID but not an eligible FID for the USOC it is following, there is no IMA edit to prevent that LSR from being submitted. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest update the IMA upfront edits to prevent an LSR with a FID that is not eligible for the USOC it is following from passing through the IMA edits. Bonnie noted that the majority of the USOCs had to do with call forwarding. Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked if the USOC list is publicly available. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest said that the list has been provided by Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon). Michael Buck/Qwest said that the CR would be updated. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if the reject code would be specific. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated it would most likely say ‘this FID is invalid’ to this USOC, but it won’t say why it rejected. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if there were any questions. There were no questions. The LOE is provided in the CR and the CR is eligible for the 12.0 vote. The status of this CR will be changed to Pending Prioritization.

June 28 Email from Bonnie Johnson with USOC List: Well at long last! Here are the list of USOC's we would like to have FID edits on. We took the most problematic and feel this would be a manageable project. In addition, our hope is that the edit will be in IMA. If it is in the SOP as well that would be acceptable, however, we feel if there is an up front edit in IMA it will save both the CLEC's and Qwest a significant amount of rework. USOC’s Requiring FID Edits: EVB, EVBHG, FBJ, FBJHG, EVF, EVFHG, FVJ, FVJHG, EVD, EVDHG, FDJ, EVO, EVOHG, EVK, EVKHG, ESM, RGG1?, RGG2?, RGG3?, HBG, HBQ, HBS

CLARIFICATION MEETING - JUNE 21, 2002 Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, J. J. Bradley/Qwest, Melva Harris/Qwest, Shon Higer/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest Reviewed CR Description. Bonnie stated that needs to prevent the customer going out of service for 6 or 7 hours on a conversion. Bonnie advised that this CR was mentioned at the June Susyems CMP Meeting and Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked Bonnie to please be more specific in the scope as far as product type. Bonnie advised that she would identify the products and USOCs that are the most problematic and that should lessen the scope. Shon Higer/Qwest stated that that would be a good idea, as the CR stands, it would be a daunting request to include all with Call Forwarding Numbers. Bonnie agreed to supply the list of product type and associated USOCs to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest by June 26, 2002. Then asks IMA to edit on eligible FIDS for those USOCs. J. J. asked if it was acceptable for the edits to be in the SOPs instead of IMA. Bonnie responded that either would be beneficial. Bonnie stated that asked for the edit in IMA due to the work that Qwest currently has to do to get the orders into the switch. Products impacted are POTS Resale, UNE-P POTS, Centerx 21.

Description Of Change

Currently IMA edits prevent a CLEC from sending an LSR with conversion activity if there is a Local Service Freeze on the account. As a result, the CLEC muxt send an additonal LSR to remove the Local Service Freeze before migrating the customer to another platform or class of service. This not only delays the migration process but also puts burden on the CLEC and Qwest to process an unecessary LSR and service order.

Expected Deliverable:

Revise IMA edits to recognize the RSID of the LSR sent to the RSID on the CSR and allow conversion activity on an LSR when the Local Service Provider is not changing. In the interim, develop a work around process to allow the CLEC to submit one LSR to convert a customer that the CLEC owns and is migrating to a different Qwest product type.

Description Of Change

Include columns for minutes, rates per minute and total charges (rate x minutes) for both Local End Office Usage and Shared Transport Usage.

Currently on UNE-P BillMate files the rate elements of Local End Office Usage and Shared Transport Usage are combined. Also depending on the region, the files may or maynot show rates per minute and/or total charges (minutes x rate). In order to validate our bills and determine if Qwest is billing correctly, Eschelon requests Qwest to show the total minutes, rate per minute and total charges (rate x minutes) separately for both the Local End Office Usage and the Shared Transport Usage on the BillMate files.

Expected Deliverable:

BillMate files will have separate items and columns for UNE-P Local end office usage and Shared Transport usage and will also show total number of minutes, rate per minute and total charges (rate x minutes).

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that this CR could be closed. The problem was fixed.

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there was an Event Notification sent on this and noted that it was fixed in a patch on March 31st. Lynn asked if Eschelon has had a chance to validate. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked for this CR to remain open for another month.

April 4, 2003 Email sent to Eschelon: Kathy -- I received information that the problem in regard to 6192953 was resolved on March 31, 2003. Please let me know if there continues to be an issue. Peggy Esquibel-Reed CRPM -- Systems

April 2, 2003 Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) advised Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) that is checking on status of her issues and will advise of info soon.

April 2, 2003 Email from Kathy Stichter: Peggy, I received this event notification. It sounds like the issue that I reported to you on Friday 3/28/03. The notification says that the trouble was discovered internally, no reporting CLECs. Is this a result of my email to you? Do you know when the patch is scheduled? Thanks

March 28, 2003 Email received from Eschelon: Peggy, I just checked our UNE-P bills to verify that the CR was worked and I found a problem in Oregon and Washington. Although the usage is separated, the Shared Transport Usage does not show a quantity. It only shows the rate and the total amount. Would you have someone check on this for me?

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon noted that Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) is on vacation and will address in the April CMP Systems meeting

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Eschelon has not yet had the opportunity to validate, so this CR will remain open and look to close in March. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the bill dates are not until the end of the month, so Eschelon would like the CR to remain open another month.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest said that this is scheduled for the CRIS point release on Feb 3, 2003. The action item can be closed.

September 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that this is a significant piece of work and Qwest is determining the target date. There are multiple sub-systems that need to be coordinated. That coordination is under way. Qwest can do the work, it's just when can get all the systems coordinated.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest include columns for minutes, rates per minute and total charges on UNE-P BillMate files. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other comments from anyone. There were no comments. Michael Buck/Qwest noted that the LOE is provided in the CR and stated that the status of this CR is 'Evaluation' to determine when this work could be scheduled. Carla Pardee/AT&T said that AT&T supports this change request.

Clarification Meeting - June 27, 2002 Attendees: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Bill Markert/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Doug Warren/Qwest CR description reviewed. Bill Markert stated that needs to have usage separated. Eschelon's request is for Qwest to provide MOU's, Rate with associated USOC if applicable, and charges. Need for Shared Transport and for Local End Office Usage. Need for Billmate only. Needs Billmate to reflect what the paper bills reflect for the elements. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon agreed to issue revised CR.

Description Of Change

Currently neither the Qwest paper bill nor the BillMate MONSERV (monthly service) file show an associated CLLI code for each UNE-P ANI or UNE Loop ANI. Since Qwest charges deaveraged zone rates it is essential that Eshelon know what zone each ANI is in. Eschelon has to look in the LERG using the NPA and NXX to find the CLLI for each ANI. This is not always accurate due to LNP, since the ANI may reside in another central office than what the LERG reflects. This is an extra step and extremely time consumming. Eschelon asks Qwest to supply the associated CLLI code for each ANI billed on the Qwest paper bill and the BillMate MONSERV files for UNE-P and UNE loop.

Expected Deliverable:

The Qwest paper bill will include the associated CLLI for each ANI billed for UNE-P and UNE Loop. The BillMate MONSERV files will include a column populated with the associated CLLI code for each ANI billed for UNE-P and UNE Loop.

Project Meetings

September 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest offers a revised response. The response is a denial on Eschelon's requested approach. Qwest has provided an alternative solution. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that Qwest looked at the request and Eschelon's requested approach is very expensive, 23,000 hours. Qwest looked at an alternative proposal to provide via a separate file on the web. That LOE is 2,000 hours. Eschelon determined that the alternative solution would not work for them and would like to proceed with their original request. Qwest is denying based on cost. Qwest could still proceed with the alternative approach, via a web based solution if anyone wants it. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that if Bill Markert wants the alternative solution, will issue a new Systems CR.

August 22, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: AI 2 = Michael Buck/Qwest - the meeting was scheduled and held. This Action Item will be closed. No dissent. AI 3 = Jeff Thompson/Qwest - Eschelon’s decision is to stay with the original CR, they did not like the alternative proposed by Qwest. Qwest will update the response and get that out. Michael Buck/Qwest - unfortunately, the decision came in too late to get in into the package. This Action Item is closed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon - I noticed that one was 23,000 hours. Is that a typo? Jeff Thompson/Qwest - That is no typo. That is why we were very diligent in providing alternatives to this request.

August 19, 2002 Email from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest: Peggy, I talked to Bill Markert and we would prefer to go ahead with our CR as aposed to accept the Qwest option of posting a web site with an aid showing the NPA-NXX and the appropriate CLLI and corresponding rate zone. Thanks Kathy Stichter ILEC Relations Manager Eschelon Telecom, Inc klstichter@eschelon.com

August 6, 2002 CLEC Community Meeting: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest: Opened the meeting by stating this call was to discuss alternative solutions in providing requested information prior to the bill instead of after. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest: Reviewed the Eschelon submitted Change Request: Eschelon is asking that the Qwest provided paper bill include the associated CLLI for each ANI billed for UNE-P and UNE Loop. Also requests that the BillMate MONSERV file includes a column populated with the associated CLLI code for each ANI billed for UNE-P and UNE Loop. Peggy asked Kathy Stichter if she had anything additional comment or clarification. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that had no other comment unless there were questions. There were no questions raised. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest turned the call over to Dennis Martinez/Qwest to start the discussion regarding the alternative(s). Dennis Martinez/Qwest: Qwest looked at the submitted CR and stated that the requested information was currently available. The purpose of this call is to make the CLECs aware of the locations of this information and to get additional information/clarification from the CLECs. Dennis Martinez/Qwest: Asked if the primary concern, of the CLECs, is for information due to deaveraging to help with billed rate validation? Kathy Stichter/Eschelon responded that yes, that was correct. Dennis Martinez/Qwest stated that internally at Qwest, our process is to take the NPA NXX and do a look up on the LERG to obtain the associated CLLI Code. The rate is then retrieved from the PCAT. Dennis acknowledged that this is a cumbersome process, but that the requested information is currently available. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that they do currently use the LERG to get the CLLI but it is very cumbersome and time consuming. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that what is needed is one source for the information, it would be easier for the CLECs. Carla stated that does not want to look at two sources, LERG & the bill, wants the information in one place. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that if had the CLLI, one step would be eliminated. Kathy asked if there was an impact if there was LNP of a TN. Dennis Martinez/Qwest stated that LNP would not affect the bill, as the originating End Office is used. Dennis Martinez/Qwest stated that he is not in a position to make any commitments at this time but does have an alternate way of providing the information. Dennis asked if Qwest would provide the NPA NXX, CLLI Code, and the rates zone on the web, would that satisfy their need. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that it would help. Kathy stated that she needs to check with Bill Markert/Eschelon to see if that would satisfy their need. Kathy stated that it might not. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Dennis to provide the Level of Effort for both, providing as requested and providing the alternate web based solution. Dennis Martinez/Qwest agreed to provide. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Kathy Stichter/Eschelon to advise what their decision is after she discusses with Bill Markert. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon agreed. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the change is made, would it affect CABS or just the paper bill. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the Eschelon submitted CR was for the paper bill and BillMate only. Dennis Martinez/Qwest stated that Qwest did look into doing this for the CABS/BOS bill but BOS does not currently provide for the rate zone and the information is based on BOS industry standards. Carla Pardee/AT&T said okay. There were no other questions or comments. The meeting was adjourned.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon reviewed this change request. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest show a CLLI code on UNE-P & UNE Loop MONSERV file and paper bill. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Qwest would like to schedule a follow-up conference call on this CR to determine an alternate way to provide this information to the CLECs. He also noted that if we provide this information on the bill, it is after the fact. Qwest would like to provide the information in a timelier manner. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if the other CLECs were interested in participating. AT&T and WorldCom expressed interest in participating. Michael Buck/Qwest said that Qwest would send out a CMP notification with the details of the meeting. The status of the CR will be updated to Evaluation.

Clarification Meeting - June 27, 2002 Attendees: Kathy Stichter/Eschelon, Bill Markert/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Doug Warren/Qwest CR description reviewed. Eschelon is requesting a column populated with ANI being billed Kathy Stichter sending a revision to CMP CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed agreed to revise CR in CMP DB.

DRAFT RESPONSE

September 13, 2002

Kathleen Stichter, Eschelon CC: Michael Buck Beth Foster Peggy Esquibel-Reed John Gallegos Dennis Martinez Connie Winston

This letter is in response to your CLEC Change Request Form, SCR061902-01, dated June 19, 2002, Titled: CLLI code on UNE-P & UNE Loop MONSERV file and paper bill.

CR Description: "Currently neither the Qwest paper bill nor the BillMate MONSERV (monthly service) file show an associated CLLI code for each UNE-P ANI or UNE Loop ANI. Since Qwest charges deaveraged zone rates it is essential that Eshelon know what zone each ANI is in. Eschelon has to look in the LERG using the NPA and NXX to find the CLLI for each ANI. This is not always accurate due to LNP, since the ANI may reside in another central office than what the LERG reflects. This is an extra step and extremely time consuming. Eschelon asks Qwest to supply the associated CLLI code for each ANI billed on the Qwest paper bill and the BillMate MONSERV files for UNE-P and UNE loop".

History: Upon receipt of SCR061902-01, dated June 19, 2002, Qwest began analysis on what it would take to meet the request. The analysis revealed that the request would require a very complex solution, so Qwest looked for more reasonable alternatives. On August 6, 2002 Qwest had a meeting with the CLEC community to identify the business need driving this CR. Agreement was reached that the request was for information due to deaveraging to help with billed rate validation. Qwest noted that the information Eschelon was requesting was currently available. Eschelon and AT&T indicated that the current method was cumbersome so Qwest presented an alternative to the current method of accessing the information. The alternative would be a web based tool that would allow the identification of deaveraged zones and CLLI codes when an NPA/NXX line number combination was entered into the tool.. The Qwest alternative was reviewed by Eschelon and rejected at the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on August 22, 2002.

Qwest Response: The current process for accessing this information is to determine if the number is ported by accessing the LNP database. Then, using the TN or LRN NPA/NXX, do a look up on the LERG to obtain the associated CLLI code. The CLEC would then access the Qwest web site to view or download a spreadsheet that displays the CLLI code and associated zone. The rate may then be retrieved from the SGAT or Interconnection contract. Qwest recognizes that it takes time to get the information, however the requested information is currently available.

The request would require Qwest to make multiple program changes to its intake process, service order, business office support, bill format and electronic bill media programs. In addition an update process from the LERG would need to be developed. To support this change Qwest processes and procedures would also need to be created and/or updated. Therefore, Qwest is denying this request based on the cost prohibitive limitations of implementing a request of this complexity. However Qwest does view the alternative presented on August 6, 2002 as viable and will keep it active should a member of the CLEC community express a need for it.

Sincerely, Jeff Thompson Director, Qwest Information Technologies

DRAFT RESPONSE

August 14, 2002

RE: SCR061902-01 (CLLI code on UNE-P & UNE Loop MONSERV file and paper bill)

Based upon additional research conducted by Qwest, the Level of Efforts for the this Change Request are provided below. These Level of Efforts are based upon information received and shared during the CLEC Community Meeting held on August 6, 2002 (meeting details are in the Project Meetings Section of this CR).

Option 1) Qwest to provide the associated CLLI Code for each ANI billed for UNE-P and UNE Loop on the paper bill and add a column to the BillMate MONSERV File. The new column is to be populated with the associated CLLI Code for each ANI billed for UNE-P and UNE Loop. The estimated Level of Effort for this option, Option 1 is 23,000 hours.

Option 2) Qwest to provide the NPA NXX, the associated CLLI Code, and the rates zone on the web. The estimated Level of Effort for this option, Option 2, is 2,000 hours.

This change request is currently in 'Evaluation' status, pending Eschelon's concurrence that Option 2 is a viable solution to their submitted Change Request, SCR061902-01 (CLLI code on UNE-P & UNE Loop MONSERV file and paper bill) and their business need as identified during the August 6th CLEC Community meeting. The business need, as identified by Eschelon, is for the availability of information, due to deaveraging, to assist with billed rate validation.

At the August 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.

Sincerely, Qwest

Review Requested (Description of) Change Kathy Stichter said that whenever they request a Feature Verification in CEMR they are getting information back that is not understandable to the CLECs. For example, they are used to seeing ESM (Call forwarding) and what they are receiving is switch language or jargon. They would like an interpretation of what is being given back. The type of switch also seems to have an impact on what type of information is provided.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted Dan Busetti asked if Eschelon only needed an interpretation on the switched side Kathy Stichter confirmed that they would only require an interpretation on the switched side. She said that they can look at the USOC finder via the Wholesale Web site.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved Lynn Stecklein said that she would involve Catherine Garcia/Process Specialist since she was not able to join the call. Lynn Stecklein also said that she would determine if Dan Busetti will stay involved with this CR.

Description Of Change

This CR is created by Qwest on behalf of Eschelon to address changes that had been in process as part of CMP Action Item #357/360. It is related to CR # 5522887 but is fixing a different root cause problem.

As part of AI357/360, Qwest agreed to implement system changes to correct a problem that is causing losses to be omitted from the Loss Report. It has been determined that included in this system fix, must be a requirement that on LNP Port Out orders on accounts that have RSIDs or ZCIDs on them, that we must have a edit built into the SOPS that creates an error if the Centers do not use on Partial ports the TRAK DCR RS fid behind the specific TN being ported or on full conversions the DCR RS must be required in the Bill section. The TRAK FID drives the order information to the Loss and Completion Reports used by both Qwest and the CLEC to track customer movement. Omitting the TRAK FID results in billing errors, as well as unnecessary calls to the Interconnect Service Centers. Using the DCR RS is the current process when porting out TNs on a Resold account, however because there are no edits in place, Qwest mistakingly uses a TRAK DCR CO fid which will not drive the information to the Loss report.

Upon implementation of this CR if the incorrect DCR code is placed on an issued order, that an error message will give the SDC an opportunity to correct the DCR code prior to the order processing down stream and order completion. This will assist in reporting the loss to the Resale Provider on their Loss report. Currently, flow through is programmed that if the account has an RSID or ZCID on it, that it will use the TRAK FID of DCR RS, the manual process should mirror this, and the edit will help to ensure that it does.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR is okay to close. There were no additional comments or questions.

-- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she believes that Eschelon is still validating. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked what exactly was the edit. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it was to add line level and ensure that the DCR was correct. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it was for ‘C’ or ‘D’ orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the ‘C’ order edit deployed in June in a back end system and was at the order level. Connie stated that the edit for this CR is at the line level. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she is still researching. This Change Request remains in CLEC Test.

- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that an edit was implemented in April and asked if Eschelon has validated this. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would like this CR to remain open until she can validate. Bonnie asked if this has to do with the edit on ‘C’ orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is for the line level. Connie stated that for the ‘C’ orders, is later in the packet, is for the account level, and is targeted for July. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would look at it when she returns to the office. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding SCR012802-1 Loss and Completions Reports, TNs should appear on both reports for the same date: Connie Winston/Qwest said that we implemented edits further up in our process to deal with this. We also put in an edit for the TRAK DCR FID CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she sent one day's data to 'CMPCR' and that Unbundled Loop was ok, but UNE-P and resale were not. Connie Winston/Qwest said thank you for the feedback. We will leave the CR open and continue to review the data. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that if Qwest wanted Eschelon to send in another day of data to let her know. She sent the previous data about three weeks ago.

-- May 16, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest noted that we are closing the Loss &Completion Matrix. This CR was created in order to maintain visibility to the item after the Loss & Completion Matrix is closed. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon had anything she wanted to add? Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon replied no. Qwest will be revising the title to better reflect the item. The status of this CR will be changed to presented.

Description Of Change

Currently when submitting a request in IMA using the request type of "P" for Centrex, the CSR is not recapped in IMA. As a result, the LSR is much more manually intensive to complete. In addition, there is a greater chance the CLEC could submit the LSR and receive a reject stating "all lines and/or services were not addressed on the LSR". This causes delays in processing LSR's and additional work for Qwest SDC's who manaully type the service orders.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLE:

Provide the recap function when selecting a request type "P" in IMA.

Project Meetings

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would remain in CLEC Test for Covad’s migration to 13.0.

September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would remain open due to a trouble ticket that will be fixed with 14.0 Release.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the expectation was based on the recap functionality for POTS. Bonnie stated that when Eschelon asks for a recap, it should mirror the functionality for POTS. Bonnie noted that Eschelon has trouble tickets opened against this issue. Bonnie stated that Qwest has indicated that this would not be corrected until 14.0 and if that’s the case, Eschelon feels that Qwest has not fulfilled this request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there are open tickets and stated that it cannot be corrected until the 14.0 Release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that if that is the case, the expectation has not been fulfilled. Bonnie stated that Qwest did not specifically ask if that was Eschelon’s expectation but Eschelon did assume it and Eschelon feels that the CR did not meet the expectations of what we were requesting. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that the trouble ticket numbers are 25187523 and 231308, which is for the PSON being stripped. This CR will remain in CLEC test.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would deploy in Release 13.0, on August 4, 2003.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion on IMA 13.0 Packaging: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we don’t have packaging options and went right down the list. We did deploy #3 (SCR062802-09) based on the Exception Request and we used approximately 42,000 hours. I know that everyone is very familiar with these CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest found any synergies with other CRs. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if we find synergies we tell you upfront. We did not find any during this time. Beth Foster/Qwest noted that the SATE packaging is also listed on the CMP web site under the walk on section.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said this is a very important to Eschelon. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this is for only for GUI Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said yes, it’s similar to the WorldCom CR Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked why wouldn’t this work in EDI. Wendy Green/Qwest said that in EDI you do your own pre-order integration. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said this would be a nice to have.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed this CR and there were no questions. Qwest will validate the LOE (The LOE was validated and accurately reflected on the 12.0 ballot)

May 16, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Product split of the CR would not significantly impact effort. Recommended stay together. The Action Item, #1, was closed. This CR is eligible for 12.0 vote.

April 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon presented CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it made sense to split the CR, Resale from UNE-P. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that it might be easier to deliver them together. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if a split would reduce the Level of Effort, Qwest would let them know. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the Status is Presented and is eligible for the next vote.

April 4, 2002 Clarification Meeting Notes - Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, J. J. Bradley/Qwest, Susie Wells/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest J.J./Qwest asked for the specific Centrex Types that Eschelon was looking to include. Bonnie/Eschelon stated that she is aware that there is a strong possibility that Centrex Plus and Centron may not be an option. She is requesting for the capability to use the recap functionality for Centrex 21, Centrex Plus, and for Centron. Wants the ability to recap any Product with the request type of 'P'. J.J asked if the request is for a recap of the entire CSR. Bonnie responded that the entire CSR was not needed, just the account of the working telephone number that is being requested.

Description Of Change

I Charts in IMA were a referrence that addressed each field in the LSR. They explained what was required or not required for specific orders. The LSOG replaced these charts as a referrence. Currently IMA I Charts are not being updated so they could potentially give incorrect information. This could cause errors on LSRs which could result in rejects which would cause wasted time and delay of customer orders. Eschelon requests that Qwest remove I Charts from IMA.

3/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest - The I Charts will be removed from the web in May. Information is published for IMA 10.0. Qwest wanted to make sure everthing was covered. Thus, the I-Charts will be removed once training is provided at the end of May. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the I-Charts would be kept accurate until they are removed. Connie Winston/Qwest said that they would. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if the I-Charts would still be available in IMA after they were removed from the web. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes. Bill Micou/AT&T wanted to know if Qwest would be eliminating the disclosure documents. Connie Winston/Qwest said absolutely not. Action item is closed.

2/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Kathy Stichter/Eschelon reviewed the description of the CR. Eschelon wants I charts removed from IMA. Kathy initially opened this CR because she thought I Charts weren’t being updated. However, in the clarification meeting she learned that I Charts are being updated and maintained. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we have been reviewing the possibility of removing I Charts. However, until a decision is made Qwest is updating the I Charts. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said the reason this came up was because we found discrepancies between the LSOG & I Charts (8.01 I charts had some discrepancies) Connie Winston/Qwest said that if the CLECs are on the web, the I-Charts need to be in accordance with what is in LSOG. Connie asked if anyone would care if we removed I-Charts from the Web? No CLECs indicated they were passionate about I-Charts. Connie Winston/Qwest noted that we would follow the appropriate notification process to communicate the removal of I charts. Beth King/Qwest also said that if the CLECs encounter any discrepancies to please call the Wholesale Help Desk Michael Buck/Qwest will take an action item to determine what we need to do going forward with the turndown of I charts. Bill Micou/AT&T requested that Qwest state whether we are referring to IMA GUI, EDI, or Common. The status of this CR will be changed to Evaluation.

The clarification meeting was held on 2/6/02

Attendees: Kathy Stichter - Eschelon Carolyn Cawrse, A J Van Creveld, Ken Olson, Bill Rogers, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

The purpose of this call was to clarify SCR12502-1 - Remove I charts from IMA.

Deb O asked Kathy S why Eschelon was requesting that the I charts be removed. Kathy stated that they were advised that the I charts were not being updated. They were also advised that the I charts were being replaced by the LSOG. Deb advised that I charts were being updated and maintained. Qwest is reviewing the possibility of eliminating I charts and fully support the need to eliminate redundant documentation. Until a decision is made, the I charts will remain in place and maintained.

We also discussed that users browsing the Web need to make sure they are using the most current version. They need to use the refresh button to ensure the most current version is being reviewed..

There were no further questions.

Project Meetings

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we have done research on the Loss and Completion issue and found that it tends to be mostly on accounts where there is a partial loss. Connie stated that our research has found that it maps back to the order typist. Connie said that too many losses are appearing on the loss report. Connie stated that we have coached and re-trained the typists and have not seen any errors in the past two weeks worth of data. Connie said that we would like to put this CR into CLEC Test. She said that the Centers are also doing quality checks. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she was on a call this week about manual errors on the line loss report. Phyllis stated that she realized with the 15.0 Virtual CSR functionality they can do a query CSR to see who owns the account. Phyllis stated that this could prevent mistakes on the report. Connie Winston/Qwest stated we do that check and it is a field that can be typed. Connie stated that the Centers look at all order activity including anything that is pending and is part of their training. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if the typist does anything to kick off the CSR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that they do not generate the CSR but they do take into account pending activity for the current order. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if with Virtual CSR is there a check for pending service order and is there is a trigger back to the rep. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we do an ownership check way upfront in the process and that there is no edit that can be applied. Connie said that the basis of the CSR is what is typed on the service order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that creating the Line Loss Report is not a manual effort. She said the DCR code is the driver for the Loss and Completion logic. Connie stated that the DCR code would determine if the loss were external or internal. Connie stated that this is also part of the training and quality reviews. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if a query could be done against the CSR at the backend to ensure that it is not a loss to the CLEC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the check has to happen when the service order is issued because that is the only time all the elements are there. Connie said that we are constantly looking for ways to help the Centers issue service orders. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said thank you for the renewed focus on training. Bonnie said that when there is focus you do a good job but when you get new employees, for examples that focus is lost and the process is broken. Bonnie asked how Qwest could address that and asked what assurance they have that the employees will be re-trained every 30 to 60 days. Bonnie also said that the 10% quality check does not work for Loss and Completions. Bonnie said that she is willing the close the CR and action item because Qwest has stated that there is no more system work that can be done. Bonnie said that she feels that this is a manual process and is a compliance issue. Bonnie stated they might have to address this issue in the measurement performance forum. (3/2/04 Revision from Eschelon – Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that this CR and action item be closed because in LTPA Qwest said they are working with CLECs on a new process. Bonnie said that is not the case.) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would close the CR and action item. Connie recapped Eschelon’s expectation regarding this issue stating that they would like Qwest to ensure that we continue to refocus our Centers every 30 to 60 days on this process. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that they agree with that assessment. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would close the CR and open a Global Action Item to determine if we can re-train the Centers every 30 to 60 days.

11/20/03 CMP Systems

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we made it pretty far into the month without any discrepancies or problems. Connie stated that Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon has now found and forwarded discrepancies to Qwest for investigation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the incorrect DCR was entered by the Center. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR was issued to have the information shown on the report the same day. Bonnie said that because the Loss Report is created manually there would never be the assurance of an accurate loss report. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that yes; there is human intervention. Connie stated that we need to have an off-line call and include the business. Connie stated that it needs to be determined if we need to show every loss. Connie also stated that the Loss and Completion Report is very manual intensive. Liz Balvin/MCI said that MCI would like to be invited to the meeting unless the information that would be shared is proprietary. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the meeting would be a definition meeting and that Eschelon's results would be e-mailed to Eschelon. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest and Eschelon have done alot of work with this issue for 2 years and we are to the point that no more system changes can be made. Liz Balvin/MCI asked what the DCR was intended to do. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that DCR is the Disconnect Code Reason and it shows if there is an external or internal loss. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest could create an edit to eliminate the human intervention. Connie Winston/Qwest that it would require too tight of an edit. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would schedule an adhoc call to discuss this issue further. Connie also said that the status of this CR would be changed to Evaluation.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she has someone monitoring these reports daily and for 3 days has found no discrepancies. Bonnie said that she also sent examples after the original fix and said that she would only send new examples if any discrepancies were identified. Connie Winston/Qwest asked Bonnie if she had received the analysis from Qwest. Bonnie said that she had not seen the analyis. Connie Winston/Qwest will have someone send the analysis to Bonnie. This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

9/18/03 CMP systems meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated Eschelon provided examples and that we did a compare of the data. Connie said that we would like to schedule a meeting to discuss findings with Eschelon through Jean Novak/Qwest. Connie explained that the TRAK DCR edit is not working like we thought it should and we have issued a fix to the TRAK DCR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the TRAK DCR did not appear on the loss report. She said that they have to manually look to identify the loss and have decided to contact Qwest on a daily basis to question data. Bonnie said that she would continue to send examples if Qwest needed them. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Eschelon only needed to send examples if they are seeing a different behavior. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon would be comfortable with this when they have an accurate report for 30 days and do not have to look at the completion report. Connie Winston/Qwest said the 30 day window could start with an event notification.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Connie Winston/Qwest had an opportunity to review the data that Eschelon provided. Connie stated that she would talk off-line with Bonnie.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she would like to leave this open. She stated that the analysis is a very intensive manual process for Eschelon and they are still sorting through the evaluation.

6/19/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Eschelon had concerns with an instance where something wasn’t on the Loss Report on the same day it was on the Completion Report. Connie stated that on that particular day, Qwest had a program problem, which was fixed. Connie stated that with the fix, Qwest also added some alarms to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. Connie stated that Qwest then looked at a week’s worth of data and we believed it is fixed. Connie asked if Eschelon has had a chance to validate it. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would look at it and let Qwest know. There were no questions or additional comments. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

5/21/03 CMP systems meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest said that we implemented edits further up in our process to deal with this. We also put in an edit for the TRAK DCR FID CR.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she sent one day's data to 'CMPCR' and that Unbundled Loop was ok, but UNE-P and resale were not.

Connie Winston/Qwest said thank you for the feedback. We will leave the CR open and continue to review the data.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that if Qwest wanted Eschelon to send in another day of data to let her know. She sent the previous data about three weeks ago.

5/5/03 These attached reports contain confidential customer information. Do not post report itself to CR.

Please forward this information to Lynn Notoriani and/or Connie Winston on my behalf.

Lynn and Connie, I am attaching a comparison of one day's worth of data. Included is: *The products and reports of UNE-P, Resale and UBL. We received the report on 5/1/03. The comparison is to determine if the data on the loss and completion report is showing up on the same date.

As you can see from the data, UNE-P and Resale are far from accurate. The UBL is correct. I wanted to include the UBL in the report because maybe there is logic applied to it that is not applied to UNE-P and Resale.

Let me know if you have questions. As I communicated in CMP last month, Eschelon is having a significant problem with loss report accuracy. I have sent a large amount of data to my Service Manager (Eschelon starting sending data to be analyzed in the first week of March and has not received any response on analysis yet almost two months later). These include: * Complete accounts leaving but only a portion of the account appearing on the report. * Accounts not showing up at all

There are also additional issues discovered recently that I need to send to my Service Manager. * Entire account showing lost when only a portion left (Could this be a outward activity on an entire account for partial conversion when there is another order with inward activity on the completion report for the lines remaining with the CLEC.)

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this request was deployed on 4/3/03 and asked if Eschelon was ok to close. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they would like to keep this open for another month.

1/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the status remains the same. There are about 6 items that contributed to these errors. When these fixes are implemented in April, we believe the fix will take care of about 95% of the problem. Connie stated that the problems were small to begin with. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we propose closing this action item and re-visit in April/May to determine if the fixes are acceptable. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that there is still an open CR for EDI that is not yet scheduled. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she is ok with closing the action item. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR remains open and in April it will change to CLEC Test. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked what date in April would the fix go in. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we don’t know the exact date yet and that we have been very clear that it won’t be past the last day in April. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this will change the way the information is received and should they be looking for documentation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated it will not change the way you receive the information and it won’t change the format. This action item will be closed.

12/19/02 December Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest said that this is tentatively targeted for April 2003. She said that the fixes would cover roughly 90% but it will actually cover about 95% of the fallout. It will make a significant change to the L&C report and fixing the six errors on the matrix will be noticeable. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if it was that Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon is sending only Central Region examples. Connie Winston/Qwest said that no, we have examples from all regions. She also noted that as we discover any other items that warrant fixing and that would have a significant impact we will let you know.

10/17/02 Discussion from the October CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are still targeting this for 1st quarter of 2003, no commitment date yet. There was a question from last month as to what percentage of the error bucket are these fixes. Is around 90%, it fluctuates. We are analyzing the onesie - twosies that are coming in right now. We will add clarity around what will be fixed in the first quarter.

Discussion from the September 19 CMP meeting: Connie Winston/Qwest said that the matrix is attached and we’ve included LOEs. As we’ve discussed before, the Loss & Completion team is a small development team and as they have bandwidth they start to take the changes into their development cycle. The target is by the end of 1st quarter next year. Their goal is to do them sooner but since they never know when spikes will happen in CLEC requests for contractual changes they don’t like to have any hard commitments on those dates because those are their first priority. This work is their second priority, but they have begun work on this. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she has asked folks at Eschelon to track any differences between records on the loss and completions reports. As we’ve discussed before, it could show up on the report a couple of days before or after depending on which one errored. So, if I get any feedback on where it’s happening, I’ll provide that information. It’s my understanding that if one errors it would never be more than two or three days, so we should we should see the respective match to it sometime three before or three days after. Connie Winston/Qwest — And as Qwest discovers other things causing that condition we’ll add them to the matrix and start to block those changes into the development team. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if on the ones that Qwest has identified on this report, what sort of percentage did these incorporate as far as what you had identified in your research. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the percentage of errors in the total bucket was very low. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t cause the CLECs a lot of pain when it happens. The percentage of errors included in the matrix, on the other hand, should be fairly high. Mike Buck/Qwest said that the action is still open and ongoing status will be provided.

CenturyLink Response

Since our clarification call on SCR012802-1 (Loss and Completion Reports, TNs should appear on both reports for the same date.) Qwest has completed it's initial analysis. We agree that it is beneficial to always have a TN appear on the Loss and Completions reports on the same date, however, in order to do this, Qwest would have to rebuild the entire reporting architecture. The difference in the dates today is caused by the fact that if one or the other reporting process detects an error in the TN it is recycled to an error file for correction and is processed in the next day's cycle, appearing on the the next day's report. The reason we have 2 processes running concurrently is that we have a limited night time window to get this information generated and made available to the reports. In addition, this change would cause the information to be reported on the later date, not on the date that the information was initially generated

The Level of Effort for this request is Extra Large.

Description Of Change

Eschelon asks Qwest to remove the Effective Billing Date (EBD) on the Loss and Completion Reports where it shares the column with the Service Order (SO) completion date information. The date in the column should only be the SO date

Currently Qwest reports a Loss or Completion using the Service Order date unless the Service Order was populated with an Effective Billing Date (EBD). Eschelon needs to know what date the Service Order completed as well as what date the billing stopped.

Project Meetings

During the clarification call with Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson agreed to modify this CR to only include the Service Order date on the L&C report, and get the EBD from the Summary Bill.

3/14/02 - In a meeting with Curt Anderson and Anita Larson-Andres, the new option of adding a new column to the L&C reports was discussed. It was determined that this would be an Extra Large effort. The work would include: the record layout would have to modified, all databases for 3 regions would have to be converted, 36 programs would have to be modified (6products X 2 reports X 3 regions) testing of all changes and updating of all documentation. This may cause some CLECs to make changes to their systems in order to accommodate the new record format.

Received from Bonnie Johnson on 7/9/02:

Hi Connie, I have checked a few reports and the dates look good. I will continue to monitor throughout the month.

Bonnie

CenturyLink Response

Bonnie and Kathy,

Since our clarification call on SCR012802-2 (Include only the SO on Loss & Completion Reports, not the EBD.) Qwest has completed it's initial analysis. Qwest is in the process of opening a UR for this work and it is targeted to completed by the end of the second quarter of 2002. The Level of Effort on this project is estimated to be medium.

Final Response - 2/26/02 - Qwest will add an additional column to the Loss and Completion reports in order to include both the Service Order (SO) and Effective Billing Date (EBD) on the report whenever the data is available.

Final Response Update- Qwest will remove the EBD data from the Loss and Completion Reports after it has been discussed with all of the CLECs at the March CMP meeting.

Description Of Change

Qwest sends our Summary Bills via paper and BillMate. The paper bills are enormous. It takes time and money to sort and file all of the paper bills. Eschelon only needs the summary pages of the paper Summary bills. Eschelon asks Qwest to offer CLECs the capability to request the suppression of sections of the paper Summary Bill. This should also be a money saver for Qwest.

Kathy Stichter/Eshelon stated that Qwest advised Eschelon that the ASCII Bill of Record CR would eliminate the need for this request. Kathy stated that Qwest withdrew the ASCII Bill of Record CR and that this request is an important issue for Eschelon.

This Action Item is closed.

3/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T is receiving boxes of paper bills and she has asked her Service Manager to suppress the paper bills. Carla asked if the suppression is part of this CR or does she have to issue a new CR. An Action Item was created for a read-out at April CMP.

10/3/03 Contacted Kathy Stichter/Eschelon to determine how Eschelon wanted to proceed with this CR. Kathy stated that she would like to put this CR in a hold status until SCR071003-01 (ASCII invoice in XML or CSV file types) is completed. At that time, she would like to review and test the functionality of the ASCII project to determine if it will meet Eschelon's needs. Kathy said that if it meets their needs she will withdraw this CR. Kathy also said that she does not want Qwest to take any action on this CR or have any resources working on it.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that we have talked to Kathy Stichter/Eschelon off-line regarding the ASCII XML/CSV CR that was discussed earlier. Lynn stated that we believe that this CR will eliminate the need to do this CR. We are hopeful that the XML/CSV would be able to be done earlier as it requires different resources. The earliest we could complete the Suppression of Paper Bill CR is June 2004. Bill Markert/Eschelon asked if Qwest looked at the option of putting it in a PDF file and letting us print whatever we needed. He said that is what Eschelon currently does that with their access bills. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that we will take that back as an action item. Lynn also noted that that this action item will be changed to follow up on the ASCII CSV/XML request.

6/19/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked to clarify that for this CR, at what level to suppress. Lynn stated we are asking in order to rule out any IMA impact, which would make this a voteable candidate. Lynn asked if it is based on account by account vs. CLEC level. Lynn stated that if it is account to account, there are IMA impacts and this CR would need to be included in the vote. Lynn stated that if it is CLEC specific, that we can go forward with the scheduling of this CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T only gets a paper bill and is against this request. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that her belief is that it would be at the bill/CLEC level. Kathy stated that all Eschelon only wants to see on paper is the summary bill. Connie Winston/Qwest asked to confirm that the request is for CLEC level. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon responded yes. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if any other CLECs had comments. There were none. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would look at getting this CR scheduled.

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Kathy Stichter/Eschelon would like Qwest to provide status on SCR121102-01 (Capability to request suppression of the paper Summary Bill except the summary page). Qwest will provide status in the June CMP Systems Meeting.

1/16/03 January CMP Systems Meeting Kathy Stichter/Eschelon presented this Change Request. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest offer the CLECs the capability to request the suppression of sections of the paper Summary Bill. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that Eschelon uses BillMate and that the paper bill is the bill of record. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that Qwest does consider the paper bill to be the bill of record. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the bill of record is paper and if a CLEC does not request all details, does Qwest keep the detail information in case a CLEC needs to then request it. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that the CLEC would need to opt for an electronic bill of record. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the electronic bill would be considered the bill of record. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that since February 2002, Qwest has offered the CLECs the ability to select the EDI electronic bill to be the bill of record if you so choose. The CLEC would need to request this option and we can’t stop sending the paper bill until you request this option. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked for the drawbacks, if any, would be associated with requesting the electronic bill as the bill of records. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the paper bill is the bill of record by default. In February, we stated that we were confident that the EDI electronic bill could stand as bill of record. If you elect the option of the EDI electronic bill as the bill of record, we could stop sending the paper bill. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said that they were told that the ASCII couldn’t be the bill of record. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that the options for bill of record are paper or electronic via EDI. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would clarify internally what the options are and if needed, would do a read out at the February Systems CMP Meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that ASCII couldn’t be the bill of record so is required to have paper as the bill of record. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that the EDI electronic bill is also an option for bill of record. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other comments or questions on this Change Request. There were no additional comments or questions.

Review Requested (Description of Change) Nolan-Qwest reviewed the title and description of change as stated on the CR form. Nolan-Qwest asked Eschelon if there were any additions or corrections. Green-Qwest stated that there were two ways to implement the change. She stated that 1) Qwest could provided a canned set of data where the CLEC would look for a set of data from the system in return or 2) she asked if Eschelon wanted SOSI to be available for any order submitted through SATE. Johnson-Eschelon asked Green which option she thought was best. Green-Qwest stated that in option #1 a set of data would be available, but that it does not allow the CLEC to submit an order and then check the status. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she didn't see the need to have option #2. She then asked which LOE was lower. Green-Qwest stated that she believed that option #1 would require a lower LOE, but that she needed to investigate. Johnson-Eschelon asked if Qwest could provide both LOEs and then the CLECs could choose. Nolan-Qwest stated that because prioritization would be presented during the next monthly meeting that the team would need to decide which option they would go ahead with during the next meeting and then the prioritization form would be updated after the meeting and the form would be mailed out.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any additional comments and then read the expected deliverables as listed on the CR form.

RE: SCR122002-02-Add Service order inquiry status (SOSI) to SATE

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR122002-02). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest agreed to provide two options for this CR. In Option 1, Qwest would provide a pre-defined set of transactions that can be used to test the SOSI function. The LOE for this solution (option 1) is 515-650. In Option 2, would allow for the SOSI query to be used on any transaction that is entered. The LOE for this solution (option 2) is 480-600.

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. During the clarification call Eschelon requested that the two options and LOE be presented to the CLEC community for discussion. Due to the SATE 13.0 prioritization timeline, it was agreed that an option would need to be selected during the January CMP Monthly Meeting.

This Change Request is an eligible candidate for the SATE 13.0 prioritization vote.

Description Of Change

example, when doing a disco order and you need to validate the CFA it would be nice to copy and paste the ECCKT field so you can paste it into the required ECCKT field on the LSR. This could cut down on errors made by typing in the ECCKT manually and getting rejected. Other fields that you could also include with that ability are; LSR form: AUTHNM, ACTL, LSO, NC/NCI/SECNCI,REMARK fields. End user form: NAME,LCON fields. Loop Services forms: PORTED NMBR field

Expected Deliverables: Comfirmation if it is possible to make that change.

This CR can be closed.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would like to keep the SCR060402-01 Ability to copy & paste within fields in IMA open. Lynne Powers/Tel West reviewed the email (dated 4/16/03) response from Lynn Stecklein/Qwest. (E-mail dated 4/16/03 - This is in response to your e-mail dated April 10, 2003 regarding the functionality question that occurred in the 12.0 IMA Release. SCR060402-01 (Ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA) was clarified and discussed in several CMP meetings and was implemented as specified in the request. The copy and paste ability was not supported functionality in the IMA GUI. For this functionality to become available, a CMP Change Request would be required) Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that copy & paste was not something we ever implemented and designed. We were not aware that you had the functionality. The functionality was actually part of JAVA which is software we don’t even own. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that copy and paste has never been a supported or documented feature for IMA. It was a feature that may have been active based on browser behavior. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that this functionality is an external clipboard. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that when this request came in, it required IMA to take control of the copy and paste capabilities for IMA. On the clarification call, it was specified to be copy/paste functionality within IMA only. Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that the individual at Tel West (who originated this) said he does believe that he clarified that he wanted both. Functionality was taken away and the CLECs were never told. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Jeff Thompson (Qwest) addressed a question from AT&T in a monthly CMP meeting last summer, and the notes reflect what we are saying here that Thompson indicated it was IMA only. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon said that she was told at training that she could go to an outside application and copy & paste. Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that there was no notification that the functionality was removed Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that again, on the technical side, it was never a supported functionality and that team didn’t know it was being done. We will validate with the trainers regarding whether they knew about the copy and paste functionality and try to improve that process. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that training is a side issue. The real issue is that there was a CR which took away functionality that existed. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we disagree that this was supported functionality and said that she was not sure we could resolve that issue. To put in a capability to allow you to handle both external and internal functionality is doable and it would require a systems change. Lynn also stated that it would require each of the CLECs to do some work on their side and to update their JAVA scripts. Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there a list of unsupported functionalities. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that would be like asking us for a list of things we do not know. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that this is functionality that was removed Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this process was documented. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it was never supported functionality and so it was never documented. The functionality to Qwest was not a part of IMA Liz Balvin/MCI said that she was struggling with this concept. How is it that we do not have the functionality now? Sue Stott/Qwest stated that this was not advertised functionality and was not documented anywhere. When the request came in Qwest added functionality to control what could be copied and pasted. It was developed and tested according to the submitted Change Request. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that there was not full disclosure of what was going to happen when this was implemented. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she thought we were at a point where Qwest can’t give you a sufficient answer on how do we know about what we don’t know. She also stated that these types of things do not happen often. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon said that what you are saying is that you did not know what you had. When we called the Wholesale Systems Help Desk, they agreed with us and said they used to be able to copy & paste our email into IMA as well. She also said that when you tell me you did not know, that is not truthful. You knew, you just did not communicate with each other. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she did not think that was an accurate statement. She said that what Lynn Notarianni/Qwest is trying to state is that it was never anything developed in IMA. She also stated that the bottom line is that a CR needs to be issued and noted that Qwest would be happy to issue the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the CLECs have more users than we do internally at Qwest. Lynn requested that for the things that the CLECs do outside of IMA, to please identify what those things are as this would be helpful information. Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that you are asking the CLECs identify functionality outside of IMA that may be taken away. Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there is a possibility if the GUI users feel that this is not advantageous at all, is there a way to back it out. Sue Stott/Qwest said that we would have to look at it. The frustrating part is that in good faith my team, asked the questions on the clarification call and would have LOE’d to do both. This request will require an LOE to either back out the feature or add the external copy/paste in. It will likely require coding. Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there was a way not to have to wait a year and a half. Sue Stott/Qwest said that it could be possibly be as a late adder to 14.0. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would open a CR and process it as a late adder if that is what the CLECs want. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that is what they want. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they feel that Sue Stott’s team are the IT experts. She also stated that they feel that when you knew that you were going to take control of the clipboard functions, we think that you should have come to us to advise that we would be impacted. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that during the clarification calls we can make sure to ask if there is anything being done outside of IMA. Liz Balvin/MCI added that we could ask how the functionality is today. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said yes, that is a good way to put it. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that it might be important to ask for additional clarification when utility functions are impacted. She will take the feedback to her team. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that we would issue a CR and bring it forward as a late adder.

July 18, 2002 CMP System Meeting SCR060402-01 Ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA (Originated by Integra) Scott Ambrose /Integra reviewed this change request. Integra is requesting the ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA. Jeff Thompson/Qwest noted that it would be easier to copy and paste as a whole in IMA instead of certain fields. Michael Buck/Qwest said that Qwest understands the request and has provided an LOE in the CR. Jeff Thompson/Qwest clarified why it is easier to copy and paste all fields, instead of limiting it to certain fields. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this meant copy & paste within IMA or Word. Jeff Thompson/Qwest answered copy & paste within IMA. The status will be changed to Pending Prioritization.

December 19, 2002- CMP Systems Meeting Minutes excerpt from page 31 (of web version) http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/downloads/2003/030110/JanCMPSystemsDistributionPackage.pdf

In “CR Design Walk-Through” section:

SCR060402-01 (Ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we had very specific fields on the CR and we talked in a monthly meeting that we would provide cut & paste ability throughout the LSR. This is a easy one.

Clarification call 6/13/02: Attendees were: Scott Ambrose - Integra Berkley Loggie - Qwest J.J. Bradley - Qwest Mark Routh - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed

Review Requested (Description of) Change J.J reviewed the list of fields that were described in the Description of Change on the CR and asked if those were the only fields that the CLEC wanted to be able to cut and past. Scott indicated that these were the most important but to have the capability to cut and paste any field in the IMA GUI would be nice.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted All products in the IMA GUI would be effected

Confirm Right Personnel Involved J.J Bradley and Berkley Loggie were the correct participants at this time.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation CLEC expects to be able to cut and paste within the IMA GUI in order to speed up the creation of a new LSR

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests None

Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) This CR will be reviewed at the July Monthly Systems CMP meeting. Qwest will provide a response to this request by July 11, 2002.

Mr. Scott Ambrose Provisioning Specialist Integra Telecommunications, Inc.

Scott,

Qwest has completed the initial systems review for your recent Change Requests. The initial estimates for these request are as follows:

SCR060402-01 (Ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA) is estimated to be between 1400 - 2325 hours to complete. SCR060402-02 (CFA validation fields in IMA GUI) is estimated to be between 1600 - 2650 hours to complete. SCR060402-03 (Change the way IMA allows the CLEC to utilize the template option.) is estimated to be between 925 - 1550 hours to complete.

All of these changes are eligable to be prioritized in the IMA 12.0 prioritization vote which will be conducted after the CR Review in the July 18th Systems CMP monthly meeting.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you, Qwest

Description Of Change

As it stands right now in order to do a template the order must be in a pending status, which means you must save the order, close that field, go to the OPEN LSR field, open the order you have pending and than it gives you the option to use it as a template. If the process could be change so the USE AS TEMPLATE field is available after saving your LSR instead of having to go and pull it back up from the pending status would improve the time it take to process an order.

Expected Deliverables:Comfirmation if it is possible to make that change.

September 13, 2004 Email Sent to Bill Littler at Integra: Good Afternoon Bill, Thank you for your response. I will place your CMP CR, SCR060402-03, in Pending Withdrawal status. The CR will then be withdrawn at the October Systems CMP Meeting. We had to post the September distribution package by noon on Friday and did not receive your email in time to make the September package. October’s meeting will work just as well. If you feel at a later date, that you would like to pursue your request, you can certainly issue a new CR, at that time. Again, thanks for your response and your CR will be withdrawn at the October Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP CRPM - Systems

September 10, 2004 Email Received from Bill Littler at Integra: Peggy, If withdrawn, can it be re-activated at some later date as a new CR? Clearly we were not able to get this prioritized two years ago when I was in regular attendance, and there is less chance now, thus I must assume that this holds little interest for other CLECs. Withdraw the CR and we will re-initiate the process if we determine we can support it better in the CMP. Thanks, Bill

September 7, 2004 Email Sent to Bill Littler at Integra: Hi Bill, I believe that Lisa Remme is checking with you to see if Integra still has an interest in a CMP CR that was submitted by Scott Ambrose over 2-years ago. It is SCR060402-03 Change the Way IMA Allows the CLEC to Utilize the Template Option. A copy of the CR is attached for your reference, review, and decision. Please advise if the CR is no longer wanted/needed by Integra and I will place the CR in Pending Withdrawal status for withdrawal at the September Systems CMP Meeting. If you still want the CR to remain active for future prioritizations, please advise me of that as well. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMPCRPM - Systems

August 26, 2004 Email Sent to Integra: From: Stecklein, Lynn Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 11:03 AM To: Lisa Remme Cc: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy Subject: SCR060402-03 Change the way IMA allows the CLEC to utilize the template option Hi Lisa, The reason for my e-mail is to determine if Integra still has an interest in keeping the attached change request open. Your change request has gone through several prioritizations and has not been ranked high enough by the CLEC Community to be voted into any IMA Releases. In addition, Integra no longer participates in the Monthly Change Management Meetings. Please let me know if you would like to withdraw or keep this CR open and I will take the necessary steps. Thanks, Lynn Stecklein CRPM - Systems 303 382-5770 Lynn.Stecklein@qwest.com

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. The CR Originator was not on the conference bridge. There were no questions.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): 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.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: There were no comments or questions for this CR.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bill Littler/Integra stated that Integra had moderate interest in this CR

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding IMA 14.0 Prioritization: There were no questions or comments on this CR.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if anyone in the room know anything about this. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this is asking for LSR templates. Beth King/Qwest said that it’s asking for another option, it’s a first screen pull down. Wendy Green/Qwest said that there was a different CR concerning templates. Connie Winston/Qwest said that it didn’t do too bad in the last ranking.

Clarification call 6/13/02: Attendees were: Scott Ambrose - Integra Berkley Loggie - Qwest J.J. Bradley - Qwest Mark Routh - Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed

Review Requested (Description of) Change J.J asked if Qwest could use the current flow of using the LSR to do this, providing a Yes or No question to the CLEC to use the LSR as a template. Scott indicated that that would work. He indicated that today, the CLEC has to save and exit the LSR before they can use it as a template. He would like to be able to save it and then be able to use it as a template without having to exit and reopen it first. He mentioned that if the LSR has been saved, it should be in pending status instead of having to close the order first. Scott and J.J. confirmed that this would be used mostly for Disconnects but would also be used for LNP.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted All products in the IMA GUI would be effected

Confirm Right Personnel Involved J.J Bradley and Berkley Loggie were the correct participants at this time.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation CLEC expects to be able to cut and paste within the IMA GUI in order to speed up the creation of a new LSR

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests None

Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) This CR will be reviewed at the July Monthly Systems CMP meeting. Qwest will provide a response to this request by July 11, 2002.

CenturyLink Response

July 8, 2002

Mr. Scott Ambrose Provisioning Specialist Integra Telecommunications, Inc.

Scott,

Qwest has completed the initial systems review for your recent Change Requests. The initial estimates for these request are as follows:

SCR060402-01 (Ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA) is estimated to be between 1400 - 2325 hours to complete. SCR060402-02 (CFA validation fields in IMA GUI) is estimated to be between 1600 - 2650 hours to complete. SCR060402-03 (Change the way IMA allows the CLEC to utilize the template option) is estimated to be between 925 - 1550 hours to complete.

All of these changes are eligable to be prioritized in the IMA 12.0 prioritization vote which will be conducted after the CR Review in the July 18th Systems CMP monthly meeting.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you, Qwest

Description Of Change

The Address Validation by WTN option with Qwest contains a requirement that either the Zip Code or CALA must be populated. Reference Appendix A, Developers Worksheet AVQ33 (Zip Code) and AVQ34 (CALA) business rules. Based on recent testing, we have found that regardless of the value populated in Zip Code (valid Zip or fictious value) the same response occurs.

1. Therefore, Qwest should remove the conditional rule requiring either a Zip Code or CALA for an Address Validatin by WTN. ZIP CODE should be changed from Condtional to Optional.

2. When an Address Validation by WTN is submitted, Qwest should only return the current service address details, i.e., an exact match only. An exact match condition would be returned if the WTN value is valid based on any class of service or product restrictions. If Qwest has an in-progress service order against the WTN, based upon the D/TSENT value in the inquiry transaction, Qwest would only return 1 matching condition. For example, if there is an in-progress move order and the D/TSENT value is less than the due date of the service order, the from address would be returned, if the D/TSENT value is greater than the due date then the to address would be returned.

Expected Deliverables:

By removing the Zip Code field as a conditional input requirements for an Address Validation request by WTN, Qwest would be providing results consistent with tests conducted by WorldCom. Secondly, by modifying the Address Validation by WTN requirements, Qwest would be providing an exact match condition in the response transaction.

Project Meetings

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI is ok to close this CR This CR will move to Completed status.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI is testing 14.0 and would like this CR to remain open. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would remain in CLEC Test for Covads migration to 13.0.

September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was waiting for McLeod to test and asked Stephanie (Prull) if she was comfortable. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she would like to leave open for one more month. Stephanie noted that McLeod goes into production this weekend. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she is comfortable with the certification but would like to wait for production. There were no additional comments or questions. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI is migrating to 14.0 and stated that there are some instances where Qwest couldn’t provide the actual working telephone number. Liz asked if any other CLEC was seeing that. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she would look at that when McLeod tests as they move to 13.0. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would deploy in Release 13.0, on August 4, 2003.

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/MCI stated that regarding SCR121702-02 WTNSTAT field via SAV when multiple match condition exists, she may withdraw this CR if Qwest can relate to us what will be in the documentation forthcoming. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that she would send information to Liz. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked that Kit (Thomte) communicate if this CR is withdrawn. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that SCR091302-01 (Pre Order Address Validation by Working Telephone Number) should cover SCR121702-02.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion on IMA 13.0 Packaging: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we don’t have packaging options and went right down the list. We did deploy #3 (SCR062802-09) based on the Exception Request and we used approximately 42,000 hours. I know that everyone is very familiar with these CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest found any synergies with other CRs. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if we find synergies we tell you upfront. We did not find any during this time. Beth Foster/Qwest noted that the SATE packaging is also listed on the CMP web site under the walk on section.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that there are two stages to this one, on the second one, when you utilize the WTN you may get back multiple address. We are looking for an exact match only response. Terry Bahner/AT&T said that you want no rejects that don’t populate the call or the zip. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said yes and this would be a nice to have. We know it’s not edited at this point. She also thought that AT&T CR (#3 on 12.0 list) that eliminates the need to pull address validation will help with this. Wendy Green/Qwest said that the removing of the requirement for CALA is for queries by WTN.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the level of effort for this Change Request is estimated at 950 to 1575 hours. The CR Status will change from 'Evaluation' to 'Pending Prioritization' after the November Systems CMP Meeting. The action item was closed.

October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom presented the CR. Michael Buck/Qwest noted that Qwest is still looking at options and that this CR will be updated to Evaluation, with more to come. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that additional testing show problems with address validation and is running the problems through their account team.

One more item,

In the Expected Deliverables, I would like to change the text from: By removing the Zip Code and CALA fields as conditional input requirements for an Address Validation request by WTN, Qwest would be providing results consistent with tests conducted by WorldCom. Secondly, by modifying the Address Validation by WTN requirements, Qwest would be providing an exact match condition in the response transaction.

Hi Liz, Based on the conversation during the clarification call with you and Dave on your request for Pre-Order Address Validation by WTN, it was agreed that this would apply to Zip Code only. Therefore, I would like to update the description to reflect that understanding. My proposed update would be to item number 1. The original text reads: 1. Therefore, Qwest should remove the conditional rule requiring either a Zip Code or CALA for an Address Validatin by WTN. Both ZIP and CALA should be changed from Condtional to Optional.

The update would read as follows: 1. Therefore, Qwest should remove the conditional rule requiring either a Zip Code or CALA for an Address Validation by WTN. The ZIP CODE should be changed from Conditional to Optional.

If this is OK with you, I'll make the change and get an updated copy out to you and posted on the web. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. Mark

Meeting Minutes for the Clarification call for SCR091302-01 held on 10/3/02 Meeting started at 12:30 Mountain Attendees were: Liz Balvin and David Burley from WorldCom, Mark Routh, John Gallegos, Berkley Loggie, Monica Manning, Shonna Pasionek, and Qiana Davis from Qwest. All of the correct individuals were on the call. Mark Routh/Qwest- started the meeting and asked everybody to introduce themselves. He introduced the Change Request and read the title. Dave Burley/WorldCom- indicted that WorldCom was looking at the Address Validation by the WTN and if they entered a bogus Zip Code in the required field, they stand the same likelihood that they will still get the result from the query. He wanted to know why it was required if it isn’t really used. Monica Manning/Qwest-confirmed that he was correct, based on some tests that she had run using a fictitious Zip Code. Dave Burley/WorldCom- indicated that when he tested this in multi states, he got the same result. John Gallegos/Qwest- asked if this was happening with only the Zip Code or with the CALA too. Dave Burley/WorldCom- indicated that it was not for the CALA. He explained that he wanted to use only the bare bones input data and didn’t want to have to input optional data. John Gallegos/Qwest-indicated that he would take this as an action item, and indicated that he could have the information at the October Systems CMP meeting on the 17th. Dave Burley/WorldCom- went on to discuss the second part of the request as wanting the exact match for a WTN for an Address Validation query. Monica Manning/Qwest- asked if he was interested in the Pending TN when submitting a WTN via the Address Validation query. Liz Balvin/WorldCom- asked if Qwest provide multiple WTNs Monica Manning/Qwest-indicated that she was unable to find a scenario for this type of query and asked WorldCom if they had a number that she could use to check this function. Liz Balvin/WorldCom- indicated that she did not have a number for Monica to use. Dave Burley/WorldCom- indicated that he wanted the query to only return the current WTN based on the Address Validation query. Monica Manning/Qwest-explained how the screens worked Liz Balvin/WorldCom- indicated that they were trying to do this in the EDI not the GUI Dave Burley/WorldCom- indicated that they were looking for this functionality in the SATE as well, and he would add it to the list of requested functions for the SATE team. The meeting was ended at 12:57 Mountain John Gallegos and Monica Manning/Qwest- will investigate this issue and will provide an update at the October Systems CMP meeting.

Description Of Change

Multiple match CSRs exist for a minimum of 30 days after the customer migrates to a CLEC because Qwest statuses CSRs incorrectly. Qwest populates CSRs after conversion with status = "live" until the end user’s final bill is rendered, paid and posted. This causes a multiple match scenario 100% of the time for CLECs until Qwest’s final bills are posted and the status indicator is changed such that the CSR multiple match condition is eliminated. Per Qwest, multiple match scenarios are provided on CSR retrieval preorder query when more than one CSR is statused as "live" (and/or possibly blank). While WCom is aware that this incorrect statusing exists upon migration, it is conceivable that incorrect statusing occurs whenever customer code changes are required. Thus ultimately, WCom is requesting this CR address processes that may result in mutliple match conditions.

Expected Deliverable:

That Qwest eliminates multiple match conditions. Further the intent would be to eliminate additional ordering requirements due to multiple match CSR responses (i.e. customer code).

Project Meetings

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the best method to use to determine which customer code to use is in the Central and Western Regions at service order creation, the customer code increments and is sent back on the FOC. Connie stated that on the SOC, the CLEC gets a snapshot of the service order and the customer code is not necessarily incremented. Connie stated that the customer code to be used is the FOC. Connie stated that in Eastern, the customer code does not increment until at bill post, then increments by 1-digit. Connie stated that when there are multiple service orders for an LSR, if the CLEC captures the customer code from the notice, to please capture what is becoming the new account. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if it is documented, how Qwest displays to the CLECs when there are multiple service orders and multiple customer codes. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it needs to be documented that for the Eastern Region, the customer code increments when the service order posts. Liz stated that the CLEC sends in one LSR and Qwest creates multiple service orders. Liz stated that MCI was capturing the disconnect customer code (MCI Comment 10/29/03) and noted this was done because Qwest documentation doesn’t define which customer code should be captured. Liz stated that if even posted to be billed increments, it does not matter what is on the FOC or the SOC. Connie Winston/Qwest agreed for 2-regions. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that if they use the customer code off the posted to be billed, if it would be accurate. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes and stated that the recommendation is to do pre-order, then posted to be billed. Connie stated that Qwest did make some changes and that they will almost always get a match. Connie stated that a customer code is needed if gets a multiple match. Connie stated that currently, the percentage of multiple matches is 1.2%. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the information on customer code increments is not complete because it does not cover notices. Connie Winston/Qwest disagreed and stated that the information that is currently available is what Qwest does in the billing system. Connie stated would look into the documentation for increments at posted to be billed. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the customer code does not increment by 1 in Eastern every time that an order posts to the bill. Connie Winston/Qwest asked that the CLECs review the information that has been provided within the CR for the increment rules. Connie stated that the customer code does increment if the service order is just to add features. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said okay. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that with 14.0, the customer code will be completely eliminated but is hearing that it is still an option. Liz stated that she does not want it to be an option as the CR specified to eliminate the customer code requirement. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that by not requiring it, it is eliminated and the CLEC will not receive a reject. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that if the CLEC does not supply the customer code, does it drop to manual and the Center determines the customer code. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes and stated that it would not be rejected. Connie stated that this situation would only happen about 1.2% of the time. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this is not clear in the disclosure document and stated that it needs to be completely documented. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest did not want to eliminate the possibility of using ore-order. There were no additional questions or comments. These action items can be closed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR remained open due to the action items. Liz Balvin/MCI stated this MCI is okay to close this CR. This CR was moved to Completed status.

-- September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she and Liz (Balvin) still disagree. Connie noted that Qwest and MCI did have a call and stated that Qwest was monitoring an error code for multiple CSR and Liz (Balvin) was monitoring a different error code. Connie stated that Qwest is researching that error code. Connie stated that the error code for multiple live CSRs is decreasing. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI was monitoring the error code of ‘full AN not found’ and Qwest was monitoring the error of ‘no CSR found for this record’. Liz stated that MCI was advised that the SOC is the most accurate customer code. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would check into that and noted that the billing completion update rarely changes the customer code. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like to leave this CR in CLEC Test. Monica Avila/VarTec asked which customer code is to be used, SOC or FOC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would research the SOC and stated that Qwest increments the customer code after conversion. Connie stated that she would check if the SOC is the old account. Connie stated that CRIS does behave differently in each region. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI was advised to use the FOC before the SOC, then was told to use the SOC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there has been work done for this CR and would make sure that it is documented in the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T Consumer had a meeting with Qwest and stated that there was a lot of confusion. Phyllis stated that they were advised to use the FOC. Phyllis stated that the FOC does not include the customer code; it is on the SOC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would research FOC and SOC. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T was told that the customer code changes in CRIS and stated that AT&T’s M&Ps have the reps pull the CSR to see if the customer code has changed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the customer code always changes on conversions and noted that this has been discussed at CMP and is also on a URL on the Qwest web site. Connie stated that we would share information with Liz (Balvin) and that it would be brought to CMP. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there could be a live account with that same customer code. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes, but is really rare. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that McLeod was advised that if an order error’s before it posts and the service order had to be changed, that could also cause the customer code to change. Stephanie noted that McLeod USA was advised of that but that she has not seen it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that was very rare as well and noted that Qwest does everything we can to avoid that. There were no additional comments or questions. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

- September 12, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Liz Balvin-MCI, Steve Kast-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Woldey Assefa-Qwest Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that Qwest IT is reporting wonderful progress and understands that Liz doesn't necessarily agree. Connie stated that reviewed the error code examples that Liz has provided and noted that MCI is looking at a different error code that the error code for multiple match. Connie stated that the error code for mulitple match is Full AN not Found, in pre-order. Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that the error rate for MCI is less thas 1%. For the No CSR Record Found error. Connie stated that it appears that MCI is saving an old pre-conversion cus code, so MCI is getting a hit due to conversion and Qwest responds as no CSR. Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that MCI is not doing that and that they have coded to match to the cus code on the FOC. When the service order completion comes in, they use that cus code. Liz stated that MCI provides the most apprpriate cus code, the one received on the FOC. Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that she would need to research what happens at post. Steve Kast (Qwest) stated that during pre-launch MCI was advised that they could get the cus code from the SOC, sometimes the correct cus code is not provided and MCI gets error's because is using what Qwest has tole them to use = the FOC. Steve stated that MCI uses the FOC cus code, then true's it up with the cus code on the SOC. Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that MCI provides the cus code that Qwest provided to them on the FOC/SOC and still gets rejects. Connie stated that Qwest published the cus code change logic but has not researched the SOC, but will. [The customer code rules are published in the IMA User's Guide, Appendix C, URL: http://QWEST.COM/wholesale/ima/gui/imauser.html ] Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that there is a December note in the CR stating that this is specific to post migration orders. Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that the system does indicate which is newest and which is final. Connie stated that in 14.0 the RSID/ZCID logic is being tweaked and the CLECs should see improvement. Connie stated that currently is seeing a 1% error rate for multiple match. Connie stated that Qwest will look into SOC cus code and when it increments. Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that she would like Qwest to research as this is their largest number of rejects.. Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that Qwest's goal is to get you, the CLECs, where you need to be. Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that she is very happy that work has been done, for post migration and multiple match situations. Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that Qwest now understands MCI's logic and we can discuss off-line next Thursday. Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that this is good news but that more work needs to be done. Connie Winston (Qwest) asked MCI to look at other error code and will see few rejects. Liz Balvin (MCI) stated that she was not seeing that error code, for Full AN Not Provided..

- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - September 3, 2003: In response to SCR102202-01, Qwest implemented functionality to address the following scenarios, that, based on the data analysis, Qwest believes gives a substantial percentage impact to the already nominal 3% occurrence of CSR multi-match: - The requested telephone number is cross-referenced to a prior account where the telephone number use to reside. - The requested telephone number is associated with a non-final account at the customer’s prior location (recent move). - The requested telephone number has an associated account for billing reasons (i.e. gift billing). - The requested telephone number had at one time been associated with a prior customer who now has a new account. The new account is being returned because it is in a LIVE status. Qwest believes the functionality implemented in the Qwest back-end system has alleviated the largest percentage of multiple live CSR issues, and the data Qwest recently examined and shared at the monthly systems CMP meeting in July showed that the instance of multi-match CSRs has been reduced by 45%. Furthermore, Qwest believes that SCR022703-18 (Eliminate CLEC Customer Code Requirement), currently targeted for deployment with IMA 14.0 will further enhance the functionality that's been implemented to address multi-match CSRs. With the deployment of this candidate additional verification of recently converted accounts will be verified to further decrease the possibility of CSR multi match conditions during ordering time.

Qwest will continue to pull data to ensure that this enhanced functionality helps with the occurrences of multi-match situations. Qwest asks that MCI pulls data on these 4 scenarios and any other scenarios MCI can identify that cause frequent occurrences of multi-match CSRs

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed this CR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this is specific to post migrations. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she is seeing a 60% reduction. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if that was for Retail to UNE-P. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that is for entire realm of CSR on Qwest to CLEC migrations. Connie stated that on maintenance transactions, she sees 100% of the time. Connie stated that Qwest would run a query to check on this. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she has some information that would be incorporated into the CR. There were no additional questions or comments.

-- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there has been a difference of opinion regarding 100% vs. 3% and stated that an assessment was done to make sure that Qwest was true to the percentage. Connie stated that after the Release was deployed, the reassessment indicated a reduction of 45 to 50%, of the very small 3% and is a significant improvement. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she has not yet reviewed the data. Liz stated that she will review the review the data and asked that Qwest continue to track for a read-out at August CMP. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the reduction would never be 100% as it would be cost prohibitive to fix all the multiple match miscellaneous reasons. Connie stated that Qwest’s goal is always to keep the percentage low. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if something was done in the systems that changed multiple live. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that better data is being provided for better decisions, as to live vs. final. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would look at the data and noted that it is good news although there are different perspectives on the percentages. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this weekend Qwest is implementing a change in back-end systems and this CR will be in CLEC Test for July CMP. Connie stated that the changes are to make clearer which account is live and to display only the live account. Connie noted that there have been some cross-referencing problems in the systems knowing which telephone numbers belong together. Connie noted that there was an issue with historical CSRs being marked as number changed and they didn’t look like they were in a ‘final’ status. Connie stated that there has been some coding in order to identify the live account. Connie stated that another issue is around T & F’s where the ‘F’ was left live for billing purposes. This caused the CSR to stay live. That is also being corrected. Connie noted that suffixed accounts are meaningful to the systems, but did not have a CSR attached. This was bringing forward as live. There was an upgrade for that as well. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that next week the CLECs should see a reduction in multiple match CSR’s. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes, they would reduce and noted that as previously discussed, they will never be eliminated, but the percentage will be extremely low. Connie stated that it will never be a reduction of 100% but it will certainly be reduced. There were no additional questions or comments. This action item was closed.

-- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked for status and stated that she thought that Qwest was doing research. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that research is continuing. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there was a read-out of this CR last month where it was noted that Qwest had work going in and that it is targeted for June 2003. Lynn noted that it would significantly improve the majority of the percentage of the issues. Lynn noted that once implemented, we would look at the results. Liz Balvin/MCI asked what the expected fix was. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the fixes are noted within the CR and that an Action Item would be opened for a read-out at the June CMP Meeting.

-- April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we wanted to make sure that the CSR multiple match situations are down to a low volume and are specific occurrences. Lynn noted that Qwest started analyzing data back in October, we wanted to do it again, so we could ensure we were seeing consistent results. The analysis has been completed and we did find a few items that would give a lift to that percentage. Lynn stated that the Level of Effort for this CR is 2500 to 3000 hours and we are looking to schedule soon. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the changes are to the CRIS System. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the changes are to back-end systems, that is why the interface is identified as ‘other’. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if the action item can be closed and we would move forward with the CR. Liz Balvin/MCI responded yes.

- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are finding a lot of little reasons that make this a very high LOE, for low volume. Connie stated that we are looking to see if we can provide functionality and we have no results as of yet. Connie stated that we are looking for a subset of this request that would be meaningful and will have a read-out at April CMP. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest is looking at this the same way that you did the loss and completion report and trying to take the top issues. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are looking at the current data to see what the issues are. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that we want to see the results when you’re done and if there is anything creative that the CLECs could provide and other creative input that Qwest can provide. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we cannot show account information, but the information can be filtered and we could do a high level roll up. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the action item could be closed. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she wants to see the results first. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest does need to provide more information.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is a low rate of occurrence of this problem. Connie stated that there was research on all the reasons and there are multiple problems. Connie stated that when you roll them all together it’s a very high LOE for minimal benefit. Connie stated that Qwest is performing an assessment on which ones make sense and provide the most benefit back to the CLEC community. Connie stated that we had hoped to have a full LOE and timeframe, the LOE is currently too high, so we will continue to evaluate and bring it back to the March CMP Meeting.

- January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the analysis has been completed and stated that we determined what the solution looks like and will have the LOE and solution details at the February Systems CMP Meeting. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if the impacted system is still not IMA. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is still not IMA.

- December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest said that this CR is considered in the "other" category and that there are external systems other than IMA so it’s not subject to prioritization. We have the LOE for the 1st part and are working on clarity of the definition so we can provide the entire LOE. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that it looked like the 2400 hours was some kind of a clean up. Can you provide clarity on the hours. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she will address this question after lunch. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this CR has the ability to be prioritized. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this is not IMA and cannot be prioritized. The back-end systems will provide the data to IMA once we’ve changed those things, it will provide the correct data to IMA. Connie Winston/Qwest before lunch I agreed to provide additional information regarding the systems impacted to deliver reduction in multiple CSR match functionality. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked which systems are impacted Connie Winston/Qwest-there are several systems, I am sure you are familiar with the BOSS/CARS and there are two other back end systems. The systems then populate IMA with the correct information Liz Balvin/WorldCom - when will you have the full picture (LOE & systems) Connie Winston/Qwest - our goal is by January. We are in definition right now, but hopefully in Jan/Feb we would have some target dates.

December 13, 2002 Email From Qwest to WorldCom: Liz -- In response to your questions ...... 1. LOE A partial LOE of 2,466 hours was provided in the Revised Draft Response dated December 11, 2002. The LOE of 2,466 includes eliminating several multiple CSR scenarios. The second part of this change, for recently changed or converted accounts that reflect more than one (1) live account, does not yet have an LOE identified. When this LOE is available the total LOE will be provided and the CR will be updated.

2. System Impacted (Other) (????) Is Qwest saying they cannot determine which system(s) provide CSR "status updates"? We have determined the systems that are impacted by this change. The 'Other' category indicates this change will not be done in IMA, therefore would not need to be included in the prioritization for IMA. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

December 12, 2002 Email from WorldCom to Qwest: Please clarify what Qwest is saying? The following questions have been outstanding deliverables of Qwest's since the November CMP: 1) LOE 2) System Impacted (Other) (????) Is Qwest saying they cannot determine which system(s) provide CSR "status updates"?

It is unacceptable to not allow this CR for prioritization without more details provided by Qwest. Therefore, please provide ASAP so that this issue can be resolved prior to next weeks CMP.

Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

- November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom reviewed CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest was still researching the CR and that Qwest wanted to fully understand the root cause before identifying the system impacted. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that because prioritization would occur during the December meeting, the information was needed. Connie Winston/Qwest asked Liz Balvin-WorldCom how she wanted to see the information? Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest could send the information to her and that she would distribute to the other CLECs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest wanted to be clear on what WorldCom was requesting. She noted that Qwest would forward the updated CR to Liz Balvin-WorldCom once the system was identified.

- CLARIFICATION MEETING - October 28, 2002 Introduction of Attendees: Liz Balvin/WorldCom, Tom Priday/WorldCom, Karen Schaffner/WorldCom, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Laurel Nolan/Qwest, Anne Robberson/Qwest, Michelle Thacker/Qwest Review Requested (Description of Change): Multiple match CSRs exist for a minimum of 30 days after the customer migrates to a CLEC because Qwest statuses CSRs incorrectly. Qwest populates CSRs after conversion with status = "live" until the end user’s final bill is rendered, paid and posted. This causes a multiple match scenario 100% of the time for CLECs until Qwest’s final bills are posted and the status indicator is changed such that the CSR multiple match condition is eliminated. Per Qwest, multiple match scenarios are provided on CSR retrieval preorder query when more than one CSR is statused as "live" (and/or possibly blank). While WCom is aware that this incorrect statusing exists upon migration, it is conceivable that incorrect statusing occurs whenever customer code changes are required. Thus ultimately, WCom is requesting this CR address processes that may result in multiple match conditions. Expected Deliverable: That Qwest eliminates multiple match conditions. Further the intent would be to eliminate additional ordering requirements due to multiple match CSR responses (i.e. customer code). CONFIRM IMPACTED INTERFACES: IMA EDI & GUI CONFIRM IMPACTED PRODUCTS: All DISCUSSION: Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the real distinction is that the multiple match condition may currently exist in pre-conversion but for post-conversion, it is 100% of the time. This severely impacts the CLECs. Tom Priday/WorldCom stated that the request is for Qwest to eliminate multiple match conditions for all situations. The biggest impact is to post-conversion but pre-conversion is also impacted. Tom stated that in other LECs, does obtain 1 CSR that is active. Does not want to guess which CSR is the current active CSR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that this is the process, per Qwest. She is aware that a scenario can exist where there can be 2 statuses of “live” and that IT was going to research if a blank status would cause a multiple live situation or a multiple live and a blank. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that this CR is to add all different scenarios to eliminate the possibility of retrieving multiple matches. There were no other questions. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest understands this request, will research, and provide a level of effort and response at the November 21st Systems CMP Meeting.

REVISED DRAFT RESPONSE December 11, 2002

RE: SCR102202-01 Customer Service Record (CSR) statusing requirements cause CLECs multiple match CSR results 100% of the time.

Qwest is continuing to research information submitted as part of WorldCom’s Change Request SCR102202-01, which aims to eliminate multiple matches to a CSR query. The research that is taking place is regarding the identified scenarios that can cause multiple CSR responses. Qwest is working to analyze and clarify each specific scenario.

The impacted interface for this Change Request is Other.

The current status of the research for CSR multiple matches is as follows: - Qwest has identified several scenarios that are causing multiple live CSRs to be returned to CLECs: - The requested telephone number is cross-referenced to a prior account where the telephone number use to reside. - The requested telephone number is associated with a non-final account at the customer’s prior location (recent move). - The requested telephone number has an associated account for billing reasons (i.e. gift billing). - The requested telephone number had at one time been associated with a prior customer who now has a new account. The new account is being returned because it is in a LIVE status. Qwest has determined a method of uniquely identifying each of these situations and preventing the additional accounts from being returned. The result would be to return only the LIVE account for the current customer at the current location. The work effort for this is estimated to be 2,466 hours. - Research continues on the scenario whereby a recently changed or converted account reflects more than 1 live account. The level of effort for this scenario has not yet been determined, as more analysis is needed. The level of effort will be provided as soon as it is available. - Other scenarios may be identified as the research progresses.

Qwest is working towards reducing the number of CSR multiple matches as much, as is possible, there may continue to be situations where Qwest’s systems will not be able to mechanically identify the most current account. However, Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOEs that include elimination of as many multiple match scenarios as possible. 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

RE: SCR102202-01 Customer Service Record (CSR) statusing requirements cause CLECs multiple match CSR results 100% of the time.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of WorldCom’s Change Request SCR102202-01, which aims to eliminate multiple matches to a CSR query. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held October 28, 2002) Qwest has identified other scenarios that can cause multiple CSR responses. Qwest is working to clarify each specific scenario in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the December Systems CMP Meeting.

Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible.

Liz Balvin/MCI did ask that this CR remain open. She said she would have to ask the other CLECs that use 12.0 if the edit was working because MCI does not use 12.0 yet. MCI's concern was that the edits in place require a 2-step validation that includes the SANO validation. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we do validate SANO. Liz Balvin/MCI said that is only if the TN is on a multiple CSR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that we ran tests internally and found that the validation includes TN and SANO. Lynn also stated that AT&T is the only CLEC using 12.0. Connie Winston/Qwest said that all GUIs are 12.0 also. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that by default it has to be working that way. John Gallegos/Qwest said that we did test it and validated that is working that way. Liz Balvin/MCI said that we need to validate it with the other CLECs because that is not the information we got from our logs. Regina Mosely/AT&T asked MCI to clarify their concern. Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed her concern. Regina Mosely/AT&T said that she had not heard about any of those problems. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she just wanted to validate with the other CLECs because that is not what MCI has heard. Connie Winston/Qwest said that MCI could validate using the GUI. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon explained how MCI could validate using the GUI and that she thought the implementation team was just giving MCI incorrect information. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she would send Connie Winston/Qwest what they had been provided. She also said that she was ok to close this CR.

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she assumed Qwest tested this. She also said that they have not been able to use this functionality because they are not using 12.0. Liz stated that the CR requested two validation steps, TN and SANO fields, to be performed with each request. Liz noted that what Qwest implemented could result in inaccurate conversion of end users because if a TN is matched to a single LSR, the second validation step of SANO is bypassed. Liz stated that MCI would like to leave this CR open.

Clarification call held on 6/27/02. Attendees were: Sherry Lichtenberg -WorldCom Local Market Entry Manager Rick Whisamore - WorldCom Local Market Entry Team Doug Lacy - Local Operations Organization J.J. Bradley - Qwest IT Solutions Architecture Berley Loggie - Qwest IT Project Manager Mark Routh - Qwest Wholesale Change Request Project Manager

Mark opened the meeting. Introduction of the participants on the Conference Call were made and the purpose of the call discussed. Mark read the Change Request Title and description. Mark Confirmed that this change is for both IMA GUI and IMA EDI interfaces, and impact the UNE-P product. J.J. Clarified the Service Address for migration orders ACT types are not V, P, and Q but V, W, and Z. Sherry acknowledged that V, W and Z were correct. Mark will update the Description to show the correct ACT Types. Sherry recapped the information that the CLEC is requires to provide and requested that they should not have to. Sherry indicated that entering this amount of information causes some rejection of the LSR due to miss keying. J.J. indicated that Qwest uses the addition information to do an exact match on the correct active record. He asked if the CLEC was willing to exchange the requirement for the additional information with the responsibility to handle the additional rejects when Qwest couldn't identify the exact record. Rick asked if the list of fields (he mentioned all of them) requested on the LSR are all used to determine the match. J.J. Indicated that he thought the SANO field might be enough to do a match. Sherry indicated that if they were only required to input the TN and SANO, that they could accept that. She asked if Qwest validated against PREMIS in the back end system. Mark Agreed to change the description of the CR to reflect that the TN and SANO fields would be required. Sherry asked some general questions about the CMP process. Mark described the process and answered the WorldCom questions.

Original Description: Currently, Qwest is the only ILEC that requires CLECs to submit Customer Name and Service Address for migration orders (ACT= V,P,Q) to UNE-P. WorldCom is requesting that Qwest allow CLECs to migrate using Customer Name and Telephone Number, and not be required to supply the Service Address on the ACT types.

Liz,

Qwest has received the Change Request you submitted on December 17, 2002. As a result of the request, SCR121702-02 (WINSTAT field via SAV when multiple match condition exists) has been created. Pursuant to Section 10.3.4 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document this Change Request cannot be processed as a Late Adder at this time. Section 10.3.4 - Ranking of Late Added CRs states the following:

For those late added CRs that are eligible for inclusion, as a candidate, in the most recently prioritized Release, the prioritization process will be as follows.

Within three (3) business days following the Monthly CMP Systems Meeting that resulted in the decision to include the late added CR as a candidate in the recently prioritized Release, Qwest will distribute the late added CR for ranking, along with the initial prioritization. Each CLEC and Qwest may submit a suggested rank for the late added CR. The suggested rank will be the number corresponding to the position on the Initial Prioritization List that the CLEC or Qwest believes the late added CR should be inserted. CLECs and Qwest who choose to vote must return their suggested rank for the late added CR via e-mail within three (3) business days following Qwest's distribution of the late added CR for ranking.

Within two (2) business days following the deadline for the return of the suggested rank, Qwest will tabulate the results by averaging the returned suggested ranks for the late added CR. Qwest will insert the late added CR into the Initial Prioritization List at the resulting point on the list and will renumber the remaining candidates on the list based on this insertion. Qwest will e-mail an updated Prioritization List to the CLECs. The results will be announced at the next scheduled Monthly CMP Systems Meeting.

This Change Request can be processed as a "Walk On" in the December CMP Systems Meeting to be held on December 19, 2002.

Description Of Change

Qwest service order processors are designed today to automatically send a service order completion (SOC) notifications on the firm order confirmation (FOC) due date (auto completion process). Qwest admits that there are certain scenarios that exist that cause a SOC to be sent to the CLEC even when the provisioning of services have not yet completed (Qwest believes this occurs on 1% of the total orders when analyzing all products for both wholesale and retail orders combined). WCom is requesting enhancements to the auto completion process that exist today that would ensure that Qwest creates and sends a SOC to the CLEC only when the actual provisioning of the order has been fully completed by Qwest.

Project Meetings

7/17/03 Systems CMP Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this Change Request was actually worked on the product/process side. Connie noted that the notification was issued on the Service Interval Guide (PROS.02.28.03.F.01018.ReNoticeSIG). She noted that this was an existing process and that we are reinforcing the process. Connie also noted that there is a no system change necessary for this request. She asked how this should be handled from a CMP perspective. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that if the work has already been completed, and we have already notified the CLECs, it should move to a CLEC Test status. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she would like to find out what Qwest has done and thought that this request should be formally crossed-over to Product/Process. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that it will be handled as a cross-over request to Product/Process and will be reviewed in the August CMP Product/Process Meeting. The Product/Process CRPM will have an off-line discussion regarding the Level 2 notification.

12/19/02 December Systems CMP Meeting Liz Balvin/WorldCom is requesting that Qwest create and sends a SOC to the CLEC only when the actual provisioning of the order has been fully completed. She also stated that they have worked with the Account Teams and have provided examples of this scenario. Connie Winston/Qwest noted that what we have found this scenario to be very rare. Qwest is researching the SOC process to determine if there are instances where there the provisioning of the service has not been completed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they are getting completions on LSRs when there isn’t even an order. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that the studies show that Qwest believes that this occurs on 1% of the total orders. WorldCom believes that it is higher for UNE-P. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that AT&T has found that they are receiving the SOC and believe the customer is up and running. We begin billing the customer and receive a call a week later to find the outside technician is just beginning the work. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that maybe the answer is a process change that a technician needs to call and say hold the order and stop the auto completion. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that how we go about this needs to be carefully laid out due to close timing situations. You do not want a process that creates jeopardies that are really not.. The completion report is the result of all this and we need to look at the process before determining whether any completion report change is necessary. Sue Stott/Qwest asked if this is the LSR completion vs. the service order completion. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said yes. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she didn’t understand the other’ interface noted on the CR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this CR is still under evaluation. This CR is not IMA. Completions are handled behind IMA. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other questions or comments. No questions or comments. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we will do more research and if there are other examples please send them to us. Jennifer Arnold/USLink asked whom the examples could be sent to. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that examples could be sent to Lynn Stecklein or CMPCR, whichever is easiest. Kit Thomte/Qwest noted that the status would remain in Evaluation.

RE: SCR111902-02 (Eliminate submission of service order completion notifications (SOC)s when provisioning of services have not yet occurred)

Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of WorldCom’s Change Request SCR111902-02, which aims to eliminate submission of service completion notifications when provisioning of services have not yet occurred. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held December 3, 2002) it has been determined that additional research is needed. Qwest will provide an updated response at the January Systems CMP Meeting.

Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. 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.

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest requires FA= C to specify the current state FID/FID Detail on the Qwest account (Change from value) and FA = T is used to specify the new FID/FID Detail (Change to value)

Change would require Qwest to eliminate the requirement to provide FA=C to specify the current state of the FID/FID Detail. Basically, Qwest systems would be changed to support end-state processing, as only FA=T would be valid on maintenance orders requiring changes to FID/FID Detail.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

To be able to process feature change maintenance transactions on a converted customers account by identifying only changes to features in their final state (post provisioning).

She stated that that CR was going to be implemented in April. She stated that WorldCom wanted the same functionality for maintenance. Gallegos-Qwest asked if this change was specific to EDI. Balvin-WorldCom stated that it was specific to migrate as specified. She stated that they wanted the functionality for complex services. Gallegos-Qwest stated that WorldCom was requesting this only on maintenance orders and that it would not pertain to new accounts. Boges-WorldCom statedt hat it applied when changing a vlaue. Balvin-WorldCom stated that it would be for post orders. Manning-Qwest stated that she wanted to clarify the products. She stated that she thought that it was geared to UNE POTS.

The meeting notice included copies of the agenda, the candidate overview document, and a summary sheet of changes that customers can expect to see in the final version of the tech specs that do not appear in the draft. Kyle explained that the walkthrough would cover the candidates, the candidate impacts to the associated documentation, and the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation overview. SCR103102-02 - Eliminate PON Tracking for Reserved TNs Angela Stewart reviewed the information provided in the candidate overview document circulated with the meeting agenda and the meeting notification announcement. Kyle opened the floor to Questions. Steve Early asked if the values are the same as those in the TNAR response. Angela Stewart and Anders Ingemarson confirmed that this is the case. Joyce from Mcleod asked if a TN is pulled using an order, then the order is cancelled, can the TN be pulled again for another transaction? Angela Stewart stated that yes, that is possible, provided that the cancellation comes first. Chris-Terrell asked if the PON is not required to reserve the TN. Angela Stewart stated that no PON is required to reserve the TN. Joyce asked if a PON was used on the TN reservation if the reserved TN would be required to be populated on an order with that PON. Angela Stewart stated that yes it would, if it is used then the edit process is still the same and it will be rejected if it is on an order with a different PON then how it was reserved. Kyle asked about GUI documentation updates. Mark Haynes covered the changes to the Error Messages. Gary Berroa covered the changes to the PCATs. Kyle explained that the PCATs and other GUI documentation publish on the 28 day timeline, so the draft of the GUI documentation will appear on March 13, 2006. There were no additional questions. Kyle moved discussion to the next candidate. Kyle asked if there were any more questions about any of the candidates or this portion of the walkthrough. There were no questions.

Originator: Prull, Stephanie
Originator Company Name: McLeodUSA
Owner: Winston, Connie

CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

McLeodUSA would like to propose the automation of the confirmation completion report from FBDL. Currently all confirmation reports come back as a FAX to the CLEC. We would like to see automation of this process to come back via EDI responses. We would also like to have the capability of multiple DSREDs to be populated on one EDI order in the event of an error. McLeodUSA feels that the current process of faxing AC responses back via the completion report is inefficient and inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information.

Expected Deliverable:

CLEC’s would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders. This will streamline processes for the CLEC’s and Qwest allowing for better resolution of all FBDL responses that currently come via the fax. This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products. This will give the ability for multiple responses to be sent to change the status of a single order from AC to AT in event of a reject in error to keep data integrity consistent between the ordering systems. McLeodUSA would like to see this implemented with a future FBDL upgrade.

During the January meeting, these CR's were presented for approval to close. The CR's were deployed with the IMA 14.0 Release, on December 8, 2003. The CR's are currently in CLEC Test status. Stephanie, You asked that these remain open until you could test them. This follow-up is to ask if you have had the opportunity to test this functionality and are okay to close them. It was agreed, by the CLECs, that these could be closed off-line. If you are not ready to have them closed, can you advise of what problems you are encountering so we can investigate. Thank you. Michelle and Tracey, These CR's were originated by McLeodUSA (by Stephanie). Are you okay to close these CR's? Let me know if you have encountered problems that are not allowing you to close these CR's. I am attaching copies of these CR's. They contain the meeting minutes. Thanks to you all, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

-- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Currently confirmation completion reports from Facilities Based Directory Listings (FBDL) are sent as faxes to the CLEC for GUI and as the secondary notification for EDI users (for EDI CLECs, initial confirmation is received via the DSRED 855 transaction). The current process of faxing AC responses back via the confirmation completion report is inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. We would like to see automation of this process so that IMA common responds back via individual electronic responses at the CCNA Purchase Order Number (PON) level on all orders with a status of Confirmation (AT), Accepted with Change (AC), Acknowledged with Detail No Change (AD) or Rejected (RF). This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information. CLECs would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders with a status of AC. This will streamline processes for the CLECs and Qwest allowing for better resolution of the FBDL responses that currently come via the fax (for orders with a status of AC). This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products.

IMA will automate the process for both EDI and GUI users and will provide an electronic response back to the CLEC at the PON/LSR level for each FBDL request. Additionally, IMA will be modified so that when a PON/LSR is returned with a status of AT, AC or AD, the PON/LSR will be completed within IMA. However, when a PON/LSR is returned with an initial status of RF, the PON/LSR will remain in a pending status for 10 calendar days so that the CLEC will have the opportunity to correct errors. If the LSR is not corrected within the 10-calendar day timeframe, IMA will cancel the request. If the CLEC attempts to resend/resubmit the request after the 10 calendar day timeframe, IMA will notify them of the cancellation.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

- September 12, 2003 Email Received From Alan Flanigan/Time Warner: Subject: SCR012003-02 IMA GUI CR Per our conversation, this CR is being resolved under the auspices of the another issue that will be worked in IMA Common rel v14.0. It can be considered as closed. Thanks. Alan Flanigan Time Warner Telecom Senior Business Analyst

-- September 12, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Alan Flanigan (Time Warner), Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) stated the purpose of the call is to discuss the synergies of 5 CMP CR’s. Peggy stated that the 5 CR’s have synergies and would carry the same status as SCR103102-01. Peggy noted the 5 CR’s:

SCR103102-01 Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL responses, originated by McLeod. This CR is committed in the 14.0 Release

SCR012003-01 FBDL Errors after Order Completes. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR.

SCR041802-01 Partial Confirmation of Standalone Directory Listings. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR041703-02 Individual responses for FBDL, originated by McLeod. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR012003-02 IMA GUI Ability to Template Completed/Closed Orders. Peggy stated that this functionality will be delivered with 14.0 and asked Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) if he would agree to withdraw this CR, based on the functionality being delivered in 14.0.

Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) agreed to withdraw SCR012003-02. Alan will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest)

-- CMP Monthly Meeting June 19, 2003 CR Design Walk-through

SCR103102-01 Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL Responses (originated by McLeodUSA) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this listings change, in 14.0, touched on many of the other CR’s we had pending. Connie stated that there are currently 3 types of status for listings. Connie stated that an ‘RF’ is a fatal reject. An ‘AC’ is a small problem and will be fixed. An ‘AT’ is that the request was completed. Connie noted that these are for FBDL only. Connie stated that with 14.0, an ‘RF’ will only be sent through IMA, you can then make a change and resend it. Connie stated that this is similar to the request for a template, and may eliminate that need. Connie stated that an ‘AC’ will be Qwest responding to you that we are working on it and then Qwest will return an ‘RF’ or an ‘AT’. Connie noted that an ‘AT’ would be sent on completions. Connie stated that ‘AD’ is a new code to advise of information, such as to advise if a feature is not available in a specific state. The AD will provide Qwest the ability to provide information to the CLECs about the listing. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked if an ‘AD’ is equivalent to an ‘AT’ but with additional information. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this would be included in the training. Connie stated there are five CR’s that are very similar, and Qwest believes that has incorporated the changes to meet the needs with this one in 14.0. The other four CR’s are: SCR012003-01 Errors after order completes (originated by Time Warner) SCR103102-01 Change to confirmation completion report for FBDL responses (originated by McLeodUSA) SCR041802-01 Partial confirmation (originated by Time Warner) SCR012003-02 IMA GUI ability to template completed closed orders (originated by Time Warner) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would work with the originating CLECs off line and see if they are comfortable with it. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if SCR103102-01 meet the needs of the four CR’s mentioned. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she had talked to Time Warner at one time about this and thinks that they will agree with it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would work with them off-line. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she likes the new ‘AD’ and asked if Qwest was going to create an exhaustive list and indicate where the ‘AD’ will apply. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest could certainly check with the listing’s people and ask for a comprehensive list of ‘ADs’. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if all stays the same until 14.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that this would be implemented in SATE for 14.0 and will be tested using the existing FBDL process in SATE. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has identified these as having synergy and will look to package all five of these CR’s in to the 14.0 Release. Connie asked if that is how the CLECs want it represented, with SCR103102-01 as the parent CR? The CLECs responded yes. There were no other questions or comments.

4/25/03 Additional Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees: Stephanie Prull- McLeodUSA, Shonna Pasionek - Qwest, Lee Gomez - Qwest, Lane Jones-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Nolan-Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to clarify the request as requirements were being written. Prull-McLeod stated that the CR applied to IMA Common. Nolan-Qwest stated that it was listed as IMA Common in the CR. Gomez-Qwest stated that she had questions in regards to the difference between this CR and SCR041703. She stated that another CR had also been submitted by AT&T to move away from fax and move towards email. She stated that she understood that the second CR would provide a response per PON and not one large PON report. Prull-McLeod stated that it would be simular to the LSR. She stated that there would be one per FBDL order. Gomez-Qwest stated that she understood and that if there were 3000 orders then there would be 3000 unique responses.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concerns. None. Nolan-Qwest thanked everyone for attending.

11/07/02 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees: Stephanie Prull- McLeodUSA, Shonna Pasionek - Qwest, Lee Gomez - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest, Linda Sanchez-Steinke-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-Qwest

Review Requested (Description of) Change - Nolan-Qwest reviewed the change request. "McLeodUSA would like to propose the automation of the confirmation completion report from FBDL. Currently all confirmation reports come back as a FAX to the CLEC. We would like to see automation of this process to come back via EDI responses. We would also like to have the capability of multiple DSREDs to be populated on one EDI order in the event of an error. McLeodUSA feels that the current process of faxing AC responses back via the completion report is inefficient and inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information."

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted The interface impacted is IMA Common. UNE products are effected.

Identify CLECs Expectation Laurel Nolan-Qwest read the following expected deliverable per McLeod's CR "CLEC’s would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders. This will streamline processes for the CLEC’s and Qwest allowing for better resolution of all FBDL responses that currently come via the fax. This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products. This will give the ability for multiple responses to be sent to change the status of a single order from AC to AT in event of a reject in error to keep data integrity consistent between the ordering systems. McLeodUSA would like to see this implemented with a future FBDL upgrade."

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Request NA

Questions: Gomez-Qwest asked about the fax confirmation reports. Prull-McLeod stated that McLeodUSA was requesting that the information come through EDI and not faxed. Gomez-Qwest reviewed the process for 855 AC corrections. Prull-McLeod stated that if AC is changed then they were requesting the response to come through EDI. Stecklin-Qwest asked if this would occur in IMA-EDI or be a change to IMA Common. Prull-McLeod stated that she thought it was to IMA-EDI. Gomez-Qwest stated that there was an 855 for every 850 received. She stated that if some did not work then the team would determine what needed to be corrected. Prull-McLeod stated that Qwest currently faxes back the information, but that they were requesting that the information be automated. Gomez-Qwest stated that the fax is sent as an FOC for orders. She stated that she thought this CR would also apply to IMA-GUI. She continued that there could be multiple responses for a single order. Prull-McLeod clarified that it was for AC to AT.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or any additions to the CR. She then stated that Prull-McLeod would present the CR at the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned.

Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held November 7, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 520 to 620 hours for this IMA 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 13.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

McLeod is receiving EMI formatted 110125( record ID for calls placed to a toll-free number) records that do not contain a CIC code. In the central region, Qwest is using the 110125 record ID for calls that are to in-region, intralata toll free numbers only, and therefore do not carry a CIC. In the central Region, Qwest is using 110105 record ID for IXC routed messages, which do contain a CIC. The 110125 record is the industry-standard format used for either type of call. The Eastern & Western Regions are using 110125 for both types of calls. We would like to see the Central Region , Qwest using the industry -standard 110125 record.

Project Meetings

June 20, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck (Qwest) reviewed that 2 CRs were opened at the same time. He indicated that McLeod has agreed to withdraw their CR. He looks to McLeod to ensure that what they requested is currently included in the Eschelon CR (SCR042902-02). Kathy Stichter (Eschelon) reviewed what Eschelon is looking for in SCR042902-02. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that unless McLeod wants to add anything, this CR is clear. Qwest will take this back and schedule the work. Carol Whitson (McLeod) agreed that the Eschelons CR meets her need. Carla Pardee (AT&T) stated that AT&T also has an interest in SCR042902-02. Michael Buck (Qwest) indicated that SCR042902-02 will be updated to reflect.

May 30, 2002 Email sent to Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA: Your submitted CR, SCR042902-03 UNE Access Records, has been updated to Pending Withdrawal Status in preparation for your withdrawal at the June Systems CMP Meeting. Eschelons submitted CR, SCR042902-02, as also been noted with your co-sponsorship request.

May 30, 2002 Email received from Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA: You may with draw my request. I spoke with Eschelson and I am willing to withdraw mine. I would like to co sponsor the request from eschelson if that is possible. Please let me know if we can do that?

May 24, 2002 Email sent to Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA: Would you please advise me of the status of this CR? At the Clarification Meeting held on May 9th, you stated that you would contact Eschelon to discuss the withdrawal of one of the CR's since they seem to be a duplicate of each other. Eschelon's CR is SCR042902-02. As a result of the duplication with SCR042902-02 submitted by Eschelon and your discussion with them, can we anticipate that one of these requests will be withdrawn at the June 20th System's CMP Meeting? These CR's are both scheduled to be brought forward to the CLEC Community on June 20, 2002.

Clarification Meeting - May 9, 2002: Attendees - Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA, Sue S./McLeodUSA/, Lori Smothers/McLeodUSA, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Alan Zimmerman/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest Alan Zimmerman/Qwest advised that the 110125 records had a different distinction's between EC to IC and EC to EC. That distinction was eliminated in the Industry Standards. The 110125 records contain shaded areas which are optional and contain default values. Qwest will attempt to discuss as a walk-on at the next OBF Meeting to unshade those areas and make them required, as data is required for billing. Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA asked if this CR was still up for June. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest responded that the CR is due for presentation at the June CMP Meeting. Peggy/Qwest advised that this request is a duplicate of a request received by Eschelon. Carol Whitson/McLeodUSA advised that she would contact Kathy Stichter at Eschelon to discuss who would withdraw their request. Carol will advise Peggy/Qwest when decision is made. No other questions were raised.

CenturyLink Response

This CR is withdrawn by McLeodUSA due to duplication with SCR042902-02 submitted by Eschelon on the same date.

January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeod reviewed the CR description and stated that McLeod has Centrex already in EDI but needs UNE Star POTS and UNE-P POTS in SATE. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that separate accounts may need to be loaded due to product differences and stated that a CLEC may want to load UNE Star POTS CSRs. Wendy stated that she would check if separate accounts are needed. Wendy Green/Qwest checked on action item (stated above) and stated that UNE-P POTS data can be used to certify. Wendy stated that for UNE STAR & UNE-P, the only difference in processing is the CSR USOCs and classes of service. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she discussed this with Michelle Sprague (McLeod) and would like to withdraw this CMP CR. Laurel Nolan/Qwest asked if any other CLEC would like to take sponsorship of this CR. No change in sponsorship/ownership was brought forward. This CR is withdrawn.

Introduction of participants on the Conference Call was made. The purpose of the call was to clarify SCR010902-1 dated 01/11/02 with McLeodUSA. Review of Response Description of Change: Requesting that a profile be set up for IMA access that allows for only Pre-Order transactions, preventing the user from being able to process order transactions. McLeod USA would like to better manage the access to the GUI internally, and this option would strengthen our ability. Currently there are only two profile options for IMA, the first profile allows normal user access and the second gives an administrative access.

McLeod wants to limit capabilities to their Business Units to Pre-order transactions, preventing the user from being able to process order transactions.

McLeod wants to be able to control in house.

Qwest advised that the profiles are set up so that the user has options to different screens.

There would be 3 profiles as follows: pre-order, preorder & order, and administrative.

The CLEC would be able to configure for administrative rights.

McLeod wanted to know if they would be presenting this change request in the February CMP meeting. Qwest advised yes.

Lynn will distribute notes to the attendees and also to Monica Manning to determine if she has additional questions.

Currently if you initiate a change in CMS (feature change, deletion, addtion, etc..) that change is not updated on the customer's CSR, which means that we never get the most current information on the customer service inquiry.

Project Meetings

5/16/02 Systems CMP Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest spoke to this CR and noted that Qwest had an off-line discussion on this with Michelle Sprague/McLeod. Michelle Sprague/McLeod accepted the denial of this CR in the off-line meeting held on 5/9/02. Qwest is exploring and evaluating other options that would satisfy this request. Qwest is also reviewing the possibility of moving this request to Product and Process.

5/9/02 - Meeting held with McLeod Attendees - Michelle Sprague/McLeod, Connie Winston/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the reasons why this change request was denied since McLeod was not able to attend the April Systems CMP Meeting. (See minutes below from 4/18/02 meeting). Michelle Sprague/McLeod understood the reasons why. Connie Winston/Qwest also stated that Qwest is willing to explore and evaluate other options that would satisfy this request. Michelle Sprague/McLeod agreed with Qwest's proposal.

04/18/02 - CMP systems meeting Connie Winston/Qwest presented CR on behalf of McLeod. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if Qwest did this request, it would clog up the environment. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the reason that McLeod may have requested this could be due to the fact that the CSR does not accurately reflect changes to the CSR and this causes problem with migrations. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest could look at a process to create an R order. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that there could be something of a smaller scope that would enable the moving of an account. Judy Schultz/Qwest suggested that maybe there is an option to narrow the scope of this CR and that Qwest needs to get with McLeod regarding the narrowing of the scope. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that there is a need of some form of communication back and forth. Could be in a bulk mode once a week. Terry Wicks/Allegiance agreed with this suggestion and asked why the CSR is not updated to reflect the changes. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that it is due to the complexities of keeping CMS updated and to allow the CLECs the flexibility to make frequent changes. Connie Winston/Qwest agreed that based on the problem definition, Qwest would look at smaller scope options. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Qwest would get with McLeod and see if there is a narrower scope option that will meet McLeod’s need without affecting other CLECs. This CR will be discussed again next month at the May CMP Meeting. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the Status would remain as Denied until McLeod agrees with a scope re-definition.

3/7/02 Attendees: Michael Sprague - McLeod Terry Crampton, Gerry Mohatt, JJ Bradley, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

The clarification meeting was held 3/7/02 to discuss CMS changes updated in the CSR. This system allows Centrex customers to initiate changes to their own Centrex configurations. Michelle said that McLeod would like to request that anytime a CLEC initiates a change in the CMS interface that the CSR is also updated with the changed information.(I.e. feature change) Michelle said that this is not happening today. Michelle further explained that the change is done directly into CMS (app to app) and that no LSR is issued. There appears to be no interface between the LSR and CMS. JJ asked whether McLeod and the CLECs would be willing to look at other options besides creating an interface. (I.e. issue the LSR that would update the CSR) Michelle said that the CLECs would like to utilize the existing CMS functionality and not have to create the LSR as well. There were no further questions.

CC: : Dennis Martinez Connie Winston Carl Sear Michael Buck

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR030502-1, dated 3/05/02, titled: CMS changes updated in the CSR.

CR Description: McLeod would like to request that anytime a CLEC initiates a change in the CMS interface, that the CSR (Customer Service Inquiry) is also updated with the changed information. Currently if you initiate a change in CMS (feature change, deletion, addition, etc..) that change is not updated on the customer's CSR, which means that we never get the most current information on the customer service inquiry.

History: A clarification meeting was held on 3/7/02 with McLeod and Qwest representation. A follow up meeting was held 3/11/02, which included Kathy Rein, Centrex Process Specialist.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an unofficial estimate of effort for CR SCR030502-1, CMS changes updated in the CSR, and has determined that this change would be extra large. It has been determined that this would impact several system environments to accommodate this request.

The high estimate is based on the current non-transactional system architecture that is inherent in the design of the Central and Eastern CRIS systems and the effort it would take to accommodate an interface that would update CMS line level features and information to the CSR.

In light of the extremely large impact, Qwest is denying your request for SCR030502-1, CMS changes updated in the CSR.

Sincerely, Jeff Thompson, Information Technologies Director

Description Of Change

McLeod would like to request that the CLEC repair trouble ticket number be added to the Qwest trouble ticket, each time a ticket is initiated with Qwest. This would allow for an efficient cross-reference for both McLeod and Qwest. The field chosen to house the CLEC trouble ticket number must be a searchable field, to allow for query capability. This change would save a great deal of time in locating tickets, assisting both McLeod and Qwest in efficiency.

Additionally, McLeod would request that Qwest to communicate this new process to their service center and ensure that an applicable field for this new data to be stored, to allow for it to be searchable.

3/21/02 Amended from CMP Systems Meeting

Jeff Thompson/Qwest provided an explanation of what McLeod was requesting with this CR. Jeff indicated that McLeod wants the ability to do a query on the ticket # in the Qwest back end systems. Since McLeod uses Electronic Bonding, and because Electronic Bonding already offers this functionality, McLeod could use that to query the ticket number if they agree.

Michelle Sprague/McLeod indicated that CEMR is McLeod’s bigger concern right now.

Jeff stated that Qwest could investigate the possibility that the change be made in CEMR with this CR and if agreement could be secured that the CEMR change would close this CR.

Michelle Sprague indicated that she agreed if the other CLECs agreed.

Jeff Thompson will amend the CR with general agreement. The CLECs all nodded their heads yes.

7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting SCR030702-1 Provide status update at CMP Meeting for SCR030702-1 (Trouble Ticket Cross Reference) (Originated by McLeod) Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that we would have a discussion that might impact the scope of this CR. The implementation date is tentatively scheduled for 11/3/02.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest also said that in our last meeting time there was a discussion as to whether this will impact MEDIACC. Qwest did some research and found that this is already available in MEDIACC. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said when this work is done, it will work on any ticket that has been electronically submitted and not just on those that are called in.

This action item will be closed.

The status of the CR will be updated to Evaluation pending the discussion of this CR with related trouble and billing CRs as discussed earlier in the meeting.

4/18/02 CMP systems meeting Michael Buck/Qwest stated that in last month’s CMP meeting it was collectively agreed upon that this requested change would be done in CEMR. Dan Busetti/Qwest presented CR on behalf of McLeod USA. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this change would help billing. Dan Busetti/Qwest responded that this requested change would not. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if a CR could be submitted to request the ticket number on the bill. Dan Busetti/Qwest responded that a CLEC can issue a CR and Qwest would investigate the options. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if the information would be in MEDIACC. Dan Busetti/Qwest responded that MEDIACC already captures the information. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that this is targeted for the August CEMR Release.

3/21/02 Amended from CMP Systems Meeting Jeff Thompson/Qwest provided an explanation of what McLeod was requesting with this CR. Jeff indicated that McLeod wants the ability to do a query on the ticket # in the Qwest back end systems. Since McLeod uses Electronic Bonding, and because Electronic Bonding already offers this functionality, McLeod could use that to query the ticket number if they agree. Michelle Sprague/McLeod indicated that CEMR is McLeod’s bigger concern right now. Jeff stated that Qwest could investigate the possibility that the change be made in CEMR with this CR and if agreement could be secured that the CEMR change would close this CR. Michelle Sprague indicated that she agreed if the other CLECs agreed. Jeff Thompson will amend the CR with general agreement. The CLECs all nodded their heads yes.

1.0 Introduction of Attendees Attendees introduced.

2.0 Review Requested (Description of) Change {review long description from change request, confirm with all parties there is agreement on the change requested} Description: McLeod would like to request that the CLEC repair trouble ticket number be added to the Qwest trouble ticket, each time a ticket is initiated with Qwest. This would allow for an efficient cross-reference for both McLeod and Qwest. The field chosen to house the CLEC trouble ticket number must be a searchable field, to allow for query capability. This change would save a great deal of time in locating tickets, assisting both McLeod and Qwest in efficiency.

Expected Deliverables: For Qwest to communicate this new process to their service center and ensure that an applicable field for this new data to be stored, to allow for it to be searchable.

Michelle Sprauge discussed the CR. Additional clarification was provided regarding the following: 1) McLeodUSA format for trouble ticket number [McLeodUSA to provide] 2) Search capability for all Qwest trouble tickets requested by McLeodUSA 3) Electronic bonding may provide cross-referencing for electronic tickets. McLeodUSA to confirm. Manual ticketing will still require cross-referencing. 4) McLeodUSA ticket numbers are auto generated; thus preventing McLeodUSA from using the Qwest ticket number as their number.

3.0 Confirm Areas & Products Impacted {read from change request, modify if needed} Confirmed. Optional section: delete "SATE" reference.

4.0 Confirm Right Personnel Involved {ensure the Qwest SME can fully answer the CLEC request. Confirm whether anyone else within Qwest has been involved with this issue, or whether we need to bring anyone else in} Qwest & McLeodUSA confirmed appropriate personnel were in attendance.

5.0 Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation {Identify specific deliverables from CLEC " what does Qwest have to do in order to close this CR? (in measureable terms ie provide a documented process, change a process to include training etc)"} Qwest to evaluate CR. During the March 2002 Monthly P&P CMP Meeting, Qwest will solicit input from CLEC community.

Description Of Change

Currently, CLECs are required to submit an LSR for each PIC change. If a Wholesale customer has 1200 PIC changes, they must submit 1200 LSRs. Qwest retail allows PIC changes to be submitted in batches with a next day due date via RSS. Qwest retail could submit 1200 PIC changes in a single batch file. The national OBF forum has approved this format. Qwest is currently not providing Wholesale customers the opportunity to process PIC changes in the same manner as Retail customers. Microtech-Tel is requesting that internal systems and processes are changed to accommodate the Wholesale customer and ensure equal treatment with retail customer.

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that this CR is expanding the record layout for CARE files to 1500 bytes and is not adding new fields. She noted that the LOE is 250 to 500 hours and is currently being scheduled.

7/17/03 CMP systems meeting

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they are clear with the answers Qwest provided to their questions. Bonnie said that they would like to leave this CR in ‘Pending Withdrawal’ and will go back and decide if this is economically feasible for them. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR would remain in ‘Pending Withdrawal’.

6/19/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if Eschelon has a question as to why Microtech-Tel didn’t want to do this. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she has had some internal conversations and stated that she has asked Qwest for requirements; such as what does the file need to look like. Bonnie stated that once she has the document, she will look at it with her IT department and will let Qwest know if she needs another call or if Eschelon is okay with the withdrawal. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR remains in Pending Withdrawal.

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that Qwest had additional clarification calls with Microtech-Tel to walk through the process. They chose to withdraw this CR because they felt it would be too cumbersome and chose to put the information on the LSR at the time of the sale and on a case by case basis.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked for further information on why the process to implement would be so cumbersome and would other CLECs be able to sponsor this CR.

Connie Winston/Qwest said that yes anyone can sponsor this CR and when we take a break we will contact the subject matter expert and ask him or her to provide the detail.

Harriet Berry/Qwest provided further information on why Microtech-Tel felt the solution to this change request was very large. She walked through the process and stated that for every PIC change there would be a WTN with a 960-byte record for each TN. There would be double the work if the PIC and LPIC were different. Harriet stated the Microtech-Tel felt that it would be easier for them to enter the information on the LSR and agreed to withdraw the CR.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said thank you for the clarification. She would like to take this information back internally at Eschelon.

Freddi Penington/Microtech Tel agreed to withdraw this CR per e-mail below. Advised Freddi that the CLEC community will be informed of the withdrawal in the May 22, 2003 CMP Systems Meeting

Subject: SCR101102-01 Wholesale PIC Changes via RSS

Hi Freddi,

I wanted to follow up with regarding our conversation on SCR101102-01 (Wholesale PIC Changes via RSS). When you and I talked, you indicated that you determined you would rather put the information on the LSR at the time of the sale because you found that it would require a large amount of work for your team if we went forward with this CR. This decision was based on the information that Harriet Berry provided to you. The next step in the CMP process based on your decision would be to place the CR in a pending withdrawal status and bring it forward in the May CMP Systems meeting for withdrawal. Can you let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding withdrawing the CR. Thanks.

Lynn Stecklein CRPM Systems lsteckl@qwest.com 303 896-0547 11/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston-Qwest asked if Pennington-Microtech-Tel had joined the call to present the CR? There were no representatives from Microtech-Tel present at the meeting

Stephanie Prull-McLeod USA asked if the CR was requesting a change to RSS?

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it had to do with the feed for PIC changes.

Stephanie Prull-McLeod asked if it was a separate transaction?

Connie Winston-Qwest responded that Stephanie Prull-McLeod was correct.

Description Of Change

5/3/06 - Update to Description - Download capability for all applications of the post order status tool in IMA. This CR is being updated (5/3/06) to reflect that all applications in the post-order GUI have the download capability instead of just the posted to be billed, as was previously requested.

Modification to the Status Updates functionality in IMA GUI Post Order - The information for Posted to be Billed from the Status Updates page is crucial information and useful for comparison of correct billing data, business growth, and wholesale billing analogy within a CLEC company.

The Status Update screen in the Post Order screen of the IMA GUI should be modified from a read only/cosmetic page to add functionality giving users the ability to save/export the summary data for a given query to a format that could be manipulated such as an excel file or a delimited text file.

11/20/06 E-mail from Eschelon

Hi, I'm ok to close all 20.0 CRs except SCR121305-01 Implement XML Interface for IMA EDI. I would like for this to remain in CLEC test until we have some users actually in production on this. At this time there is no one in production yet. So we can not really say how its going or say we have given it a fair test.

Thanks

Jill said that the following CRs will be included in the IMA 20.0 Release scheduled in October: SCR010705-01 - Directory Listing Changes in Conjunction with LNP SCR042704-01 - FBDL PON Field SCR102505-02 - Edits for the LSR Delivery Address Activity (DACT) SCR032202-1 - Download capability for all applications of the post order status tool

5/17/06 Systems CMP Meeting

Jill Martain - Qwest said that Qwest looked at providing an export button as the solution. She said that the export option would force every CLEC to update the Java Policy on every PC that would be using this function. Jill said that the current proposal is that once the CLEC gets the reports selected and up on their screen in the post order status functionality, than an e-mail ICON will appear where the CLEC can input their email address. Once the CLEC inputs an e-mail address and submits the request to IMA, IMA will send an e-mail with an attachment that contains a comma separated file separated file. Jill said that this file can be taken into several different applications like Excel and Access and can be manipulated and sorted as needed. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if this information would be in an excel format. Jill Martain - Qwest stated that it would be in a comma delimited file and could be downloaded to Excel. There was no objection to the proposed solution and Qwest will move forward to implement in the 20.0 Release. This Action Item is Closed.

Hi Dan,

I wanted to touch base with you to determine if you were ok with the revision that was made to your change request.

I also wanted to add a little more clarification to the revision. We looked at providing an export button as the solution. However,

the Export Option would force every CLEC to update the java policy files on every PC that would be using this function. The solution is that the CLEC can get any and all Status Updates in the extract. The CLEC inputs an email address and we will send the e-mail with a message with the attached comma separated file. This file can be taken into several different application like Excel and Access. The CLEC can manipulate, sort and adjust as needed. The updates are current as of the time the CLEC clicked the e-mail button.

Please let me know if this solution will meet your needs.

Thanks,

Good Morning,

Attached you will find a copy of SCR032202-1. The CR Title and Description has been revised per the discussion that took place in the April CMP Meeting as noted below.

Qwest: Oversight Meeting Status

Jill Martain-Qwest stated that there was an Oversight Meeting regarding VCI’s CRs for productivity and reject reports. Jill stated that the capability and functionality were discussed in the meeting and the decision was that an existing Systems CR, candidate #5 in the 20.0 ranking, could be used. Jill stated that the CR is SCR032202-1 IMA GUI-Post Order/Status Updates/Posted to be Billed. Jill stated that the solution was to have a downloadable format of the information that is viewed once you go into the screens. Jill stated that it was discussed in the Oversight Meeting that Packaging options could be possible for IMA 20.0. Jill then stated that Qwest reviewed the LOEs for the candidates and that the LOEs for the top 5 candidates were reduced. Jill stated that this means that at this moment it looks like the top 5 candidates can be deployed in the 20.0 Release. Jill noted that SCR032202-1 is in that top 5. Jill then noted that if there is a change, Qwest would schedule a Packaging Options Meeting for further discussion. Jill then stated that the intent is that SCR032202-1 would need to be revised so that it would include all status updates. Jill stated that Eschelon (Bonnie Johnson) had agreed to work with New Access to get their CR revised.

Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that she would get with Bonnie (Johnson-Eschelon) to work with New Access.

Hello Dan,

I received your name as a contact at New Access from Bonnie Johnson with Eschelon. A meeting was held on March 17, 2004 to discuss several open Systems CMP CRs. The intent of the CR Review was to determine if the CRs would remain open or if there are some that should be withdrawn. In that meeting, we also discussed that some CLECs who have submitted CRs no longer participate at CMP and we need to determine if those CRs could be withdrawn.

Here is the excerpt from the meeting where we discussed the New Access CR:

SCR032202-1 IMA GUI- PostOrder/Status Updates/Posted to be Billed (New Access)

There was no representation from New Access on the call.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there was a posted to be billed screen in the GUI.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that there was.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this change is still desirable.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the LOE is still accurate.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that LOEs are re-evaluated at Packaging and any changes, if any, are communicated at that time.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would contact her contact at New Access regarding this request.

There were no additional comments or questions.

This CR remains Active.

The reason for my e-mail is to determine if New Access still has an interest in keeping this change request open. I have attached the minutes from the meeting held on March 17, 2004. Please let me know if you would like to withdraw or keep this CR open and I will take the necessary steps.

Thanks,

Glorianne Lowenski - New Access Rick Gittins - New Access Pamela Johnson - Qwest (Service Manager for New Access) Mark Routh - Qwest Deb Osborne - Qwest J.J. Bradley - Qwest Jerry Mohatt - Qwest

Rick explained that New Access wanted to be able to save the information, on the Posted to be Billed screen, to a text file or Excel or some other format that could be manipulated by the CLEC. This would be helpful to them in doing billing analysis. As it stands today, they can copy each field on the screen one at a time but would like to be able to do a save of all the data on the entire screen at once.

Mark indicated that he would modify the Description of Change on the CR and return it to Glorianne to be reviewed by New Access.

Glorianne asked what the next step would be in the process.

Mark explained that New Access would present this new request to the CLEC community in the April CMP meeting and that Qwest would present their response at that time along with any options, to be discussed with the CLECs at the April CMP meeting. He explained that it would elligable for prioritization for IMA 12.0.

Project Meetings

The Clarification call was held on 5/30/02 at 8:30 a.m. (MT) The attendees were: Eric Hill - Nortwest Microwave, Inc. Dan Busetti - Qwest Justin Sewell - Qwest Iris Santiago - Qwest Mark Routh - Qwest

Mark opened the meeting and asked all the participants to introduce themselves. He discussed the purpose of the call. Mark reviewed the request. Mark confirmed the the area impacted is CEMR and that the product impacted is UNE. Mark confirmed that the personnel who were on the call were the correct individuals for this request. Eric indicated that he would like the ability to view the facilities for an OC24 just as he can for the others, like DS3. He indicated that he can see all 24 DS0 customers. He added that if a customer orders a CFA on an OC24, he has to submit the order to find out if there is available capacity. He may get a confirmation back for the CFA or an indicator that it is already in use. He indicated that he can't look at the entire OC24 to see his customer's activity. He also mentioned that this would be useful for accounting purposes as well. Dan asked if these would always be incremented by 12. Eric replied that he didn't know and that it didn't really matter to him what increments it was displayed in, as long as he could view the entire facility. He said "What ever is easiest for Qwest." Iris asked if OC24 was displayed in the same manner as OC12. Eric said that it was, and he could provide Mark with examples that Mark will forward to Iris and Justin. Iris asked if Eric needed to see an entire OC192 at this time. Eric indicated that they didn't have that requirement at this time but said that it is definitely a possibility. He indicated that he was surprised that Qwest hadn't gotten this type of request from other IXCs, CLECs, or LECs before now. Iris asked Eric when they needed this. Eric indicated that he wasn't in any dire straight but that he would like it as soon as possible so that he could be more efficient in his function. It was pointed out that this change may have an impact on the TIRKS system. Mark indicated that this would be presented in the June monthly Systems CMP meeting. Dan will begin to investigate what is needed to complete this change.

There were no other questions or comments and the call was ended.

Message from Eric Hill on 5/30/02:

What I was hoping everyone could gather from Our Voice Conference this morning was that we (NMI) are currently limited to view the "Facility Descriptions" for the following entries: T1, T1F, T1U, T1UF, T1Z, T1ZF, T1ZT, T3, T3X, T3Z, T3U, T4X, OC03, OC12, OC48

Now in circumstances such as NMI presence in the Seattle, Westin Building where we have expanded from an OC-12 to a OC-24 the option of pulling up the information is unavailable. It is in actuality supported by an even larger OC-48 facility that we pay to utilize the equivalent of an OC-24, never the less is still generates an "error message" at either level. So I'm hoping everyone can see my point? If and when we should need more capacity and ask Qwest to activate another OC-12? See what I'm getting at?

Currently Qwest has assigned the following ACTL Code: P101 OC24 STTLWAWBWAN STTMWAAGWAA This ACTL is in fact stored in the "Previous Queries" pull down menu on the Search and Verify CFA screen as if it acknowledges the fact that it is a valid entry. However, that is not the case as I'm sure by now everyone is aware. I'm providing an attachment from the actual CFA Verification Screen so that everyone can see the entry from my perspective. I hope the .bmp format is acceptable?

The following is an example of the DS-3 ACTL / ECCKT Code assignments to those supported by the facilities of which we are speaking, and I would like to add that I am able to pull them up on an individual case basis. If this is any way beneficial? These codes I'm providing below do in fact increment 1X01-1X24 although I will keep it short for reasons I'm sure every one can understand. 1X01 T3U STTLWAWBWAN STTLWAAGWAA 1X02 T3U STTLWAWBWAN STTLWAAGWAA 1X03 T3U STTLWAWBWAN STTLWAAGWAA

Please feel free to call me if this is in any way confusing to anyone and I would be glad to elaborate. Thank you, Eric Hill

Memo from Eric Hill on 7/12/02

Hi Mark,

Well it would be wonderful to look at it all at once, but if it has to be this way? I've already told the people in my department about it and have used it to compare. One of the first things Dan mentioned yesterday was the fact that he had randomly looked at port 13 and that supports Northwest Microwave's DS-3 for DS-1 traffic. At that point he mentioned it was $pare, and I was reluctant to believe it but he was correct. That traffic had been swung over on to Our Fiber Network, and Our Own Records had not been modified. I do rely on the site heavily for cross reference. It will work the way it is, however it's just a matter of convenience to view it all at once. I'll let your people make the call? This is acceptable for now.

There was no one present from NT&T. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that Cecilia Rodriguez/NT&T said that this CR could be closed.

E-mail dated 9/12/03 from Cecilia Rodriguez/NTT

Lynn,

The VTA seems to be working correctly now. I don't know what you did but thanks.

Cecilia

E-mail dated 9/10/03 from Cecilia Rodriguez/NTT Lynn,

The recap function it self works very well. There is a problem with the forms however. When you are using RSX as the line USOC the IMA insists that the VTA field on the Centex Resale page be filled in. The field does not exist on that form. It is actually on the LSR form. So with that all the orders have to be sent manual attention with the remarks saying what you want. Originally a ticket was called in because I could not find that field. That is were I learned it was on the LSR form. No further action has been taken in this matter. If you can get this fixed that would be great.

Thanks Cecilia

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest noted that Qwest was ok to close this CR and asked if anyone had used this functionality. There were no comments. 7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting Qwest will validate LOE. The LOE was revised to 1700 to 2825.

4/18/02 - Lynn Stecklein presented CR on behalf of NT&T who didn't attend meeting.This CR is requesting the same as Eschelon’s except is only for Centrex 21 Resale. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest received both CR’s, Eschelon and NT&T’s, and there was a duplication with the Products. Also stated that Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon agreed to remove the duplication from her request. This CR is eligible for the 12.0 vote. LOE is 750 - 3000 hours.

4/3/02 Clarification Meeting

Attendees - Cecilia Rodriguez - NT&T Susie Wells - Qwest Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Susie/Qwest wanted to know if the functionality NT&T was requesting was like the POTS functionality that exists today. Cecilia said that was exactly what they were requesting. The recap pulls in all records (line/features). Lynn/Qwest wanted to know if they were looking for this functionality on Centrex 21 or Centrex plus. Cecilia said they were looking at Centrex 21 only. Susie/Qwest wanted to know if NT&T would ever want it carried over to Centrex plus and Cecilia said no. Susie said that the reasons she was asking was because with Centrex plus there would be more things to consider. Lynn/Qwest advised that she would talk with J J Bradley/IT re: today's discussion.

CenturyLink Response

The LOE is 2325-3875 hours. This CR is an eligible IMA 13.0 candidate.

- May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the possibility of establishing a new Status Code.

This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

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.

CTAG is used for creating fancy phone numbers. That functionality has been added to IMA. CTAG has very low usage and we are letting you know that we are retiring this GUI. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if this CR impacted all products. Connie Winston/Qwest said that only those with a TN like resale and UNE and not loop products. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if the CR would be updated with the impacted products. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the status would be updated to development and said that the CLECs will see the appropriate notices going out indicating the retirement of this GUI.

Connie Winston/Qwest presented this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she was not sure how many CLECs had the opportunity to use the CTAG GUI. CTAG is used for creating fancy phone numbers. That functionality has been added to IMA. CTAG has very low usage and we are letting you know that we are retiring this GUI. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if this CR impacted all products. Connie Winston/Qwest said that only those with a TN like resale and UNE and not loop products. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if the CR would be updated with the impacted products. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the status would be updated to development and said that the CLECs will see the appropriate notices going out indicating the retirement of this GUI.

Description Of Change

This CR seeks to provide functionality to allow IMA to provide the ability to re-send IMA Reject, FOC, Error, Jeopardy, SO Completion and Cancel notices. When this CR is implemented IMA should retain the information in the Transmission Response History and Transaction History. This will provide the ability to ensure that a resent notice is resent using the same method of transport and destination that was used when the notice was originally sent.

5/16/02 Systems CMP meeting Connie Winston/Qwest presented this CR on behalf of Denise Martinez/Qwest who was not present at the meeting. This CR seeks to provide functionality to allow IMA to provide the ability to resend IMA Reject, FOC, Error, Jeopardy, SO Completion and Cancel notices. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest has seen instances in the past where a CLEC did not receive a notice although it looks to us like we sent it. Qwest is looking for building capability to re-send notices. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if this was affecting all products. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this applies to all products. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if the notice would reflect that it is the second notice. Connie Winston/Qwest said that yes they would be marked in some way. Qwest would need to track the second notice for our internal audits as well. LeiLani Hines/World Com stated that she was concerned about the second notices causing confusion. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if the notice would be going to all CLECs or only the CLEC requesting. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the notice would be sent to the requestor. There will be some type of resend distinction intended to go to the requesting CLEC only. Michael Buck/Qwest said that LOE is 750-3000 hours and is eligible for 12.0 prioritization.

Originator: Larson, Jami
Originator Company Name: Qwest Corporation
Owner: Thompson, Jeff
Director:
CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

In order to comply with OBF Issue 2056, which eliminates the exchange of specific EMI summary records, Qwest will stop accepting and processinng the 11-50-01, 02, 03, 04 records from external sources. Per the OBF issue, companies should send 11-0X-XX detail records in place of the previously mentioned 11-50 records. The issue also eliminates 11-50-21, 22, 23 and 24 records. Qwest is producing and sending the 11-50-21 record for wirless transit usage to companies that requested the records. Upon implementation, Qwest will no longer send the 11-50-21 type of record. The 11-50-21 summary record will be replaced by the 11-01-01 detail record and sent to the customer in the same manner the 11-50-21 is sent today.

With the resolution of OBF issue 2056, common minutes of use in a meet point environment have been eliminated effective 1/1/01. The exchange of 11-50-XX EMI summary records is no longer necessary. Companies may use their own 11-01-XX recording to bill directly from, or may negotiate with another provider for the records where they lack the capability to record. The following EMI records have been eliminated with this issue: 11-50-01, 02, 03, 04 11-50-21, 22, 23, 24 Receiving companies will no longer use the summary records to bill from in a meet point environment. As a result, Qwest needs to make the appropriate system changes to process our own 11-01-XX EMI detail records in place of 11-50-XX EMI summary records, targeted for deletion, that we may receive from other companies. This applies to meet point usage records for IXC, CLEC, wireless, local and intralata toll. Additionally, Qwest needs to produce 11-01-XX EMI detail records in place of 11-50-01 thru 04 and 11-50-21 thru 24 EMI summary records that may be created and sent to customers today. Again, this would apply to usage for IXC, CLEC , wireless, local and intralata toll in a meet point environment. The systems need to have the usage record conversion complete no later than 8/31/02 when the specified 11-50-XX records will no longer be valid for exchange per resolution of the OBF issue. Providers currently sending 11-50-XX records will need to be notified when Qwest no longer needs to receive the summary record for billing. Where possible, any new record exchange processes in a meet point environment should follow the new guidelines which become effective 1/1/01.

This request is related to other changes to the meet point billing format that will be effective with the implementation of BOS 37 and BOS 38. The elimination of the record exchange and the ability for companies to bill from their own recordings resulted in the elimination of several data elements related to meet point billing.

Description Of Change

When inputting in IMA (GUI) the trunk side request of a UNE-P ISDN PRI or Resale of ISDN PRI, each individual, required USOC is entered to the Feature Detail Section of the RS (Resale) form. After completion of the request, the "Print Preview" screen is accessed by the CLEC to review the request. On the "Print Preview" screen, all individual USOCs are listed as they were entered, except the DR5 USOCs. The DR5 USOCs consolidate to the end of the request as one entry.

IMA (GUI) must not consolidate the DR5 USOCs into a single entry. Each individual entry must be retained, as the trunk group (TG) information must be shown on each DR5 USOC.

This change will allow the CLEC to review their order and determine that all the correct USOCs were entered. It will also enable the ISC/IWSC to correctly order the DR5 USOCs.

9/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting Mike Buck/Qwest said that this CR has not received a great deal of support in previous votes. Qwest is seeking to withdraw. This does not preclude anyone from picking up this CR up if it’s functionality you are interested in. There was no request to change sponsorship on this CR. The status of this CR will be updated to Withdrawn.

7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting There were no questions.

2/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Marlene Di Manna/Qwest presented this CR. On the print preview screen all individual USOCs are listed as they were entered, except the DR5 USOC. The DR5 USOCs consolidate to the end of the request as one entry. This is a Medium Level of Effort and is an 11.0 candidate. Beth King/ Qwest noted this is IMA GUI not Common. The status will be changed to presented.

The clarification meeting was held 1/30/02 Attendees: Marlene DiManna, Pam O'Connell, J J Bradley, Lynn Stecklein

The description of change was reviewed. Marlene discussed how the DR5 was posting to the service order. The CLEC inputs the information accurately to the LSR but when the CLEC uses the Print Review Screen all individual USOCs are listed as they were entered, except the DR5 USOCs. The DR5 USOCs consolidate to the end of the request as one entry. Marlene will provide an order example of the way the DR5 is displayed. The USOCs that are entered are as follows: T1KAC (trunk), ND2 (network Usoc), and DR5 which is the provisioning USOC. The trunk and the network USOC are posting ok, but not the DR5. The centers have to go in and fix the DR5 which requires additional work. Marlene advised she will write the UR and provides examples.

CenturyLink Response

The clarification meeting was held on 1/30/02 and from this meeting the LOE was determined to be 975 to 1600 hours. This CR is an elibile IMA 11.0 candidate.

Description Of Change

The Feature Verification function in CEMR needs to be expanded to allow for CSR filtering. Currently the expansive CSR data (for example, 100 pages in size) is returned and the User is required to scroll through to locate the requested Working Telephone Number (WTN) in question. Therefore, this system enhancement would improve the useability of this function.

Filtering will occur at the requested WTN level of the CSR data. The CEMR User's Guide and the CEMR training will be updated to reflect this increased functionality.

Project Meetings

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that the CR’s listed on the SATE CR List are all in Pending Withdrawal Status, as Qwest would like to withdraw the following SATE CRs due to the fact that the number of transactions are less than 100. Woldey stated that if any of the products were to have more than 100 transactions in production, Qwest would then open a CR and it would be implemented with the next major release. The CRs in Pending Withdrawal Status are: SCR021902-07 SATE - Add Digital Line Side Port SCR021902-06 SATE - Add DID In Only Trunks SCR021902-19 SATE - Add Unbundled Analog DID/PBX Trunk Port and Trunk Port Facility SCR021902-21 SATE - Add Unbundled DS1 DID/PBX Trunk Port & Facility SCR021902-02 SATE - Add BRI ISDN Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the Arizona order does say 100 or more transactions. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that if more than 100 transactions are reached and Qwest opens CRs, they will be processed as Regulatory CRs, due to the Arizona order. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that SATE successfully deployed IMA 14.0 on November 8th. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if anyone has used it. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI had. There were no other questions or comments.

Wendy Green/Qwest stated that Digital Line Side Port (SCR021902-07) was the only product where a CLEC had expressed interested in implementing the product in EDI. Wendy Green/Qwest reviewed the CR.

Project Meetings

November 21 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Wendy Green-Qwest stated that the CR could be closed.

August Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Attachment R = Change Requests Committed for IMA Release 11.0 Connie Winston/Qwest - we have one small issue requiring the Sup 2 (SCR013002-8 Flowthrough on Sup 2 Category Due Date) to be a spillover for 11.1. She explained why this will be a spillover into the point release. She noted that resale and UNE sup 2 due date change orders will flow through. The unbundled loop will drop out to the Center and will be updated by the Center until 11.1. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T - that’s line item #4 in the Attachment? Connie Winston/Qwest - yes. Michael Buck/Qwest - stated that the NOTE at the bottom of the page needs to be changed from 'In Definition' to 'Packaged'. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - asked how the 11.0 PO2 CR is different than the one in 12.0. Connie Winston/Qwest - they are just different edits. The edits are noted on each of the 2 CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - with 12.0, would you say that any of the hours devoted to this would lower the 8,000 hours? Are you looking at that when you do the design? Connie Winston/Qwest - we always look at that, but the edits are different so I could expect a reduction in the LOEs. As we get further in design, we do update the LOE. Attachment R = Change Requests Committed for SATE Release 11.0 Connie Winston/Qwest - SATE has the same spillover candidate for 11.1, SCR013002-8 Sup 2. Michael Buck/Qwest - noted that items 3, 5, and 7 are SATE specific candidates. The others are IMA with SATE impacts. Wendy Green/Qwest - noted that the SATE side has a shorter list because of the GUI only impacting CRs going into IMA having no impact to SATE. Michael Buck/Qwest - any other questions in the room or on the bridge? None.

CenturyLink Response

Qwest Proposal for Managing Incorrect Fax Numbers Entered in the IMA Personal Profile

Notification of an invalid fax number comes from two sources; 1. Qwest Security Department/Customer Complaint 2. Qwest Fax Server Administration Team

When a notification is received Qwest will use the following process:

Qwest will remove the invalid fax number from the user profile. After the fax number has been removed an email will be sent to the Service Manager with the user name and the invalid fax number. The Service Manager will contact the impacted CLEC with this information.

Removing the invalid fax number from the IMA personal profile will have no impact to the CLEC user requesting the fax. With an invalid fax number the CLEC user isn’t receiving a fax. The Service Manager notification will give the CLEC user the opportunity to enter a valid fax number or leave the field blank.

October 23, 2002 Email received from Jonathan Spangler/AT&T: Per the action item taken from last week's Systems CMP meeting, AT&T does not wish to sponsor Qwest initiated SCR013002-2 Tool for LIS Forecasting. AT&T, therefore, accepts Qwest's withdrawal of this CR as well as the discontinuation of system tool FORCAST. Jonathan Spangler Carrier Performance - Western Region AT&T Local Services & Access Management

- October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest stated that Qwest operations is looking to withdraw this CR. Michael reviewed the history of this CR: - Qwest brought forward an optional process. - The web site was deployed briefly. - Upon deployment there were some issues found and Qwest sent out event notifications. - Research was done and based on the outcome, the issues were found to be larger than expected. So, based on that we are bringing this forward for withdrawal of this optional process. - The existing process is not impacted, as it was never changed. - Michael asked if we had concurrence to withdraw. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if there is any insight as to the issue with the deployment of this tool. Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that he did not have the details, but some severe corruption problems have occurred. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that AT&T was looking to utilize FORCAST and asked if a CLEC could sponsor or does FORCAST just not work? Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that it just doesn’t work and investing so much time and effort doesn’t make sense since the volume has decreased. There is no business value to fix it. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that he would like to discuss off-line and will advise Qwest next week. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that he will look to receive a response form AT&T and will take appropriate action. Otherwise, this CR will move to Withdrawn status. Nods in the room.

Description Of Change

This CR relates to multiple OBF issues:

1963 - Add new field to support Distinctive Ring Telephone Number

2090 - DD, EBD, FDT, and ORD fields at the Circuit Level

2092 - Add third character Valid Entry of "blank" to the EC VER field of the 099 Practice

2247 - Response fields for remote access features

2250 - Allow for the return of Frame Due Time (FDT) on Jeopardy notice in the 099 Practice

The CR seeks to accomplish multiple OBF issues.

Change existing Qwest functionality for jeopardy, reject and FOC/LRSC notices to the LR form in LSOG6. The functionality allows most CLEC notifications to be processed using one form (the OBF LR form). Implementing this functionality requires: - replacing current forms with the LR form or map existing Qwest forms to the LR form - adding, deleting, or changing existing fields to conform with LR fields and field entries - continuing to add Qwest fields and field entries, as needed - blending new functionality with existing mechanization where appropriate - synchronizing all existing systems that provide support to provide CLEC notices or track CLEC notification for internal status or regulatory reporting - allow for new DD entry of HO (Held Order) in case of embargoes

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is ok with closing this CR. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that they tested and every time they sent a conversion order, they automatically received a PIA. She said that she did not know if that was intended or not. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking into trying to change that functionality with the 15.0 Release. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon said she is ok with closing this CR.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Covad wanted to test but they are not converting until November 1. John Berard/Covad requested that this CR remain open until November.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest said that #16, 17, & 18 are still pending McLeod certification of IMA 13.0. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that she has no problems with the IMA 13.0 certification and that she would like to leave #16, 17, & 18 open. Stephanie stated that IMA 13.0 goes into production this weekend and they want to validate and test.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest asked if everyone was ok to close this CR. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that they would like to leave this open until we get through testing and into production. Connie Winston/Qwest said that from McLeod’s perspective that they would like to test in production and that from Echelon’s perspective, they are waiting for the trouble tickets to close. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would like to save her comments on event notifications and overall documentation concerns for the discussion that we will have later in the meeting. That discussion will take place in attachment H associated with McLeod’s 3 examples. This CR will remain in CLEC test.

1/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that there is an open CR associated with LSOG 6, regarding BTN, SBN, Circuit ID, and order number functionality. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if it was the LR form. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the functionality is needed but there are so many issues lumped together. Bonnie asked if Qwest could separate the issues so they are each by themselves. That would also mean lower levels of effort. Bonnie asked if she should issue a CR for only issue 1963 functionality. Bonnie stated that she had a problem when there was a jeopardy notice prior to the FOC. Jill Martain/Qwest asked if this situation was associated with unbundled loops. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated was regarding DS1 capable loops. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that when sending a jeopardy notice, it now includes the circuit ID. Jill stated that she would check if BTN, SBN, and order number are also included. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that if we could get all three that would be fabulous. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that she would look into it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has analyzed the CR to see if the issues could be split. Connie stated that the functionally is very interwoven and there are synergies in doing them together. Connie stated that if they can be split, that it would probably result in two really big CRs. Probably little value in splitting the CR.

Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest reviewed several old CRs and would like to withdraw this request. Jill stated that we will re-evaluate with LSOG 8. There was no dissent to withdraw. This CR is in Withdrawn Status.

March 17, 2004 Review of CR’s - Attendees: Carla Pardee (AT&T), Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T), Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon), Susie Bliss (Qwest), Kit Thomte (Qwest), Lynn Stecklein (Qwest), Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest), Phyllis Burt (AT&T), Regina Mosley (AT&T), Kim Isaacs (Eschelon), Julie Pickar (USLink), Sarah Padula (Popp Telecom), Emily Baird (Popp Telecom), Jill Martain (Qwest), John Berard (Covad), Gary Veik (Qwest)

Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the intent of the CR Review’s is to determine if the CRs are to remain open or if there are some that should be withdrawn. Kit stated that some CLECs who have submitted CRs no longer participate at CMP and we need to determine how those CRs could be withdrawn. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she has a contact at New Access and noted that they do attend some of the CLEC Community calls. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she agreed that it needs to be determined if some functionality was already deployed that may make some of the CRs no longer needed.

Gary stated that there are currently over 2500 issues at OBF, some new and some modified or changed. Gary stated that Qwest might want to withdraw these CRs and move toward some of the other OBF issues. Gary stated that Qwest will re-evaluate the CRs, look to see what has been implemented, and determine if these specific CRs need to remain active. Gary stated that there are other issues that may need CRs created. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked to clarify that these CRs are being withdrawn, other OBF issues are to be evaluated, and new CRs could be introduced that would be beneficial to all. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that internal meetings will be scheduled to evaluate the existing CRs and noted that a status would be provided at the April Systems CMP Meeting. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the CRs would then be withdrawn in April. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that once the evaluation is complete and the determination has been made to withdraw, the CRs would be withdrawn at the April CMP Meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it was agreed to skip LSOG 7 and implement LSOG 8. Bonnie stated that re-evaluating these CRs is a great idea as they may now be obsolete. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Qwest would try and have resolution of the LSOG CRs at April CMP and stated if a CR is not to be withdrawn, the benefit of implementing the request would be provided to the CLEC Community.

2/21/02 Carol Zimmerman/Qwest presented this CR. Issue 2091 adds new field ‘DISC ECCKT’ on EU form. The level of effort is large. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon wanted to know if they could send multiple circuits. Carol said she didn’t have the answer to that yet. Connie Winston/Qwest said that in design we would have to allow for that. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T questioned how this differed from 9.0 where you don’t have to enter address. Connie said that this is a different field/form. The status will change to presented. 2/21/02 Systems CMP meeting Carol Zimmerman/Qwest presented this CR.

Description Of Change

LSOG issue 1482 seeks to combine the Directory Service Request (DSR) with the Local Service Request (LSR) Ordering Guidelines.

Based on historical order IMA volumes this issue affected 81,008 orders during the 09/01-11/01 time frame. This represents approximately 20% of all orders generated.

Implementing this combined solution will align Qwest with industry guidelines. If this is not implemented there will be a requirement to maintain a Qwest specific DSR form.

Description Of Change

OBF issue 1792 has defined the business rules associated with Partial and Full Migrations by providing definitions and process flow in the General Section of LSOG 6. This issue took 2+ years to be worked by the Industry and finally be incorporated in LSOG 6. Additionally, the issue added a new data element to the LSR practice "MI" (Migration Indicator) that specifically identifies a requirement to designate a 'full versus partial migration' As part of this issue Qwest should also consider using the ELT (End User Listing Treatment) field on the End user Form to specifically identifies end user listing requirement to facilitate 'flow through'.

Resale and UNE-P order volumes from 01-01-01 to 12-12-01 reflected 39% of total orders.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest asked if there were any questions on this CR. There were no questions and all agreed that the status of this CR would be changed to completed.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR will remain open another month. Connie stated that there is an open trouble ticket associated with custom ringing. Connie said that the current practice if custom ringing is ordered the indicator is set to manual. If converting the order is getting caught in an edit. Connie stated that the workaround needs to be followed until the patch is completed.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that per Monica Manning/Qwest these scenarios would be included in testing. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was for EDI only. Connie Winston/Qwest said no, that this is not SATE specific. This action item will be closed.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: The CONVIND (Conversion Indicator) field is a Qwest specific field that is not used for flow through processing any longer. CONVIND will be removed from the LSR form, Admin Section in IMA to avoid continued CLEC and ISC/IWSC confusion over use of the field. The MI (Migration Indicator) field will be enabled on the LSR form, admin section and require the CLECs to indicate a full or partial migration to a new or existing account. IMA will validate the MI field entry to ensure that it is consistent with the TN information represented on the LSR. This will make Qwest OBF LSOG 6 compliant.

Products: All products associated with full or partial migration.

Forms Impacted: LSR form; Admin Section

Field Impacts: CONVIND (Conversion Indicator), MI (Migration Indicator).

ACTs: V, W, Z

NOTE: MI products will be the same as those used with the CONVIND field.

Questions & Answers:

Q: This candidate states IMA will validate the MI field entry to ensure that it is consistent with the TN information represented on the LSR. Can you please outline the edits that have been put in place for this validation process? A: Connie Winston - Qwest stated that the LSR & CSR line counts would be compared, and that there would be a TN comparison. Kin Isaacs - Eschelon asked if there would be a BPL edit. Monica Manning - Qwest responded yes. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if there will be any trouble adding a TN, LNA = N? Monica Manning - Qwest responded no. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if this could be in the Qwest test scenarios. Connie Winston - Qwest asked that if is a full conversion and adding 1 line, is there a code in the MI field? Monica Manning - Qwest stated that the additional line would be okay because is only looking at line activity. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if match line activity to CSR. Monica Manning - Qwest responded yes.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Action Item: - Confirm that doing a full conversion and adding a line is in Qwest test scenarios.

Connie Winston - Qwest stated that the Q & A would be appended to the CR information. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that the format for future walk-thru’s would include an indicator of IMA Common, EDI, or GUI. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if the CLECs found this review to be helpful. CLEC Community responded yes. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that timing of these walk-thru’s needs to be discussed and asked the CLECs to give some thought as to when it would be best to do them. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that she would want them as early as possible and stated that in the current process; she doesn’t get information until the tech specs. Phyllis stated that she would like the walk-thru’s once get commitment for each Release. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that Qwest would like to see clearer, more defined CR’s, upon submission. Connie Winston - Qwest asked the CLEC to let us know if they would like to see a different format for the summaries document. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that this is the information as it is today and asked the CLECs to please remember that things can change in the development cycle.

There were no additional comments or questions.

TO: Participants in Qwest CMP IMA 11.0 Voting

RE: Withdrawal of SCR013102-07 (LSOG 6 - Issue 2017: Pre-Order Address Validation)

All,

Qwest has received a request for further information regarding the reasons for proposing the withdrawal of SCR013102-07 (LSOG 6 - Issue 2017: Pre-Order Address Validation).

I hope the following recap of the discussion from the April Systems CMP meeting will answer the outstanding questions.

What we discussed in the April CMP meeting is that upon further definition of the candidate it appeared that the existing Pre-Order Address Validation functionality would not be considerably improved with this CR. Qwest initiated the CR believing, at the time, that the proposed LSOG change would provide improved address validation. This change request was initiated in response to OBF Issue 2017. The description of change request SCR013102-07 (available in the April Distribution Package or in the Systems Interactive Reports on the web) reads:

OBF issue 2017 seeks to add transaction activities for validation by TN (telephone number) and adds notes to specific address fields to elaborate on how these fields relate when using the AFT (Address Format Type).

OBF issue 2017 should improve the validity of address data/information in both the ordering and pre-ordering practice.

This description captures Qwest's belief, from when the CR was inititated, that the CR would result in improved validity of address validations. However, once the definition work for the CR was completed, it was determined that the functionality already exists using fields that Qwest currently provides.

The OBF issue, as Qwest understands it, would seek to add a new valid value of "E" (provisioning address) to the AFT field. A value of "E' indicates that the address sent on the address validation inquiry was either an alias or vanity address. The address supplied on the response should be used for ordering. This value is only applicable for pre-order.

Since Qwest already accepts a Provisioning address in Pre-Order Address Validation, adding a new valid value to the AFT (Address Format Type) field (as requested by the OBF issue) would only be cosmetic, and would not improve address validation.

Qwest would like to reiterate that the proposal to withdraw this CR is simply to allow resources to attempt to define change requests further down on the Initial Prioritization List. Qwest views this proposal as an opportunity to provide more CLEC value by potentially defining other request(s) that may add greater value than this change request. Any CLEC receiving this e-mail may elect to take over sponsorship of this CR if they believe that significant value will accrue from this change request. If one or more CLECs choose to sponsor this CR, Qwest is pleased to continue definition work for this CR and this CR will remain as a candidate for Packaging and Commitment for IMA 11.0.

If there are any further questions on this CR or the proposal to withdraw it, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Michael Buck Qwest Communications, Inc. CMP Manager Systems (303) 294-1633 mjbuck@qwest.com

Subject: Qwest CMP -- Confirmation of CR Withdrawal

TO: Participants in Qwest CMP IMA 11.0 Voting

RE: Withdrawal of SCR013102-07 (LSOG 6 - Issue 2017: Pre-Order Address Validation)

All,

As discussed at the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on April 18, 2002, the initiator of SCR013102-07 (LSOG 6 - Issue 2017: Pre-Order Address Validation) would like to withdraw this change request. As agreed to in the meeting, this message is being sent to all IMA 11.0 voting participants to confirm acceptance of the withdrawal.

During the April Systems CMP Meeting Qwest explained that after completing initial system requirements for this change request, it did not seem to offer the benefits and value that were anticipated when the CR was initiated. Accordingly, Qwest has updated the change request to a status of "Pending Withdrawal."

Because of the relatively high ranking of this change request (it was ranked #6 out of 38 CRs for the IMA 11.0 release) Qwest and the CLECs agreed that all voting participants should be informed of the withdrawal request via this e-mail.

At the April Systems CMP Meeting Qwest indicated that if this change request is withdrawn, work on this change request would cease and resources would be freed to attempt to define change requests further down on the Initial Prioritization List. Qwest further indicated that if a CLEC wished to take ownership of this change request, this CR would continue through the definition cycle and remain eligible for Packaging and Commitment (to be presented in June and August Systems CMP Meetings respectively).

During the April Systems CMP Meeting, Qwest and the CLECs agreed to the following approach:

If any recipient of this e-mail wishes to "take ownership" of this change request, then this CR will remain as a candidate for Packaging and Commitment for IMA 11.0. In this case, work to further define this change request and attempt to fit it into the release will continue. Any CLEC wishing to take ownership of this CR may confirm their intent by responding to this e-mail NLT Friday, April 26, 2002.

If recipients of this e-mail agree with the request to withdraw this change request, no further action is necessary. At the April Systems CMP Meeting it was agreed that lack of response to this e-mail would constitute agreement with the withdrawal.

If there are any questions about the content of this e-mail or the nature of what is being requested, please contact Michael Buck, CMP Manager (Systems), at (303) 294-1633 or mjbuck@qwest.com.

Thank you,

Michael Buck Qwest Communications, Inc. CMP Manager Systems (303) 294-1633 mjbuck@qwest.com

4/18/02 CMP systems meeting Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was ranked #6 in the 11.0 vote. During definition, Qwest originally thought that this would benefit the CLECs. The AFT format field was something that Qwest was already doing. Connie Winston/Qwest asked to withdraw the CR from 11.0 and look at other candidates. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if a separate notification for all CLECs would be sent? Michael Buck/Qwest stated that an email notice could be sent but asked how and to whom the notice should be sent. Terry Wicks/Allegiance suggested that an e-mail (not a notice) be sent to only the CLECs that participated in the vote. There was no disagreement. Michael Buck/Qwest also indicated that a decision was needed quickly so as not to disrupt the development schedule if the CR was to be kept. All agreed to providing a response by COB Friday, April 29. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked what the next candidate was and asked if email could clarify what the next candidate would be. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CR’s in definition might not be packaged. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if the email would require a response. Michael Buck/Qwest responded that a non-response would be an agreement, Qwest expects a response from those wishing to take ownership. Bill Micou/AT&T asked if this was being done behind the scenes. Connie Winston/Qwest responded that that was true.

2/21/02 Systems CMP meeting Carol Zimmerman/Qwest presented this CR. OBF issue 2017 seeks to add transaction activities for validation by TN and adds notes to specific address fields to elaborate on how these fields relate when using the AFT (Address Format Type).

Description Of Change

OBF issue 1790 has removed the data elements associated with 'Hunting' from the LSR form. A new form specific to Hunting information only, has been added to the LSOG practice. The new form is titled Hunt Group Information (HGI) form. From a Qwest perspective LSRs requesting 'hunting' typically require significant order processing due to the complexity associated with "hunt types" of request. Hunting may be ordered with POTS, UNE-P and Centrex orders. It is anticipated that implementing this new form could improve overall processing of these types of orders. If this is not implemented there will be a requirement to mantain a 'Qwest specific' LSR form that includes a hunting section.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if this CR could stay open until next month. Connie Winston/Qwest did not think we are having problems with this and asked if McLeod was. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that they were having issues but was not sure that the problems were on their side or Qwest’s. This CR will remain in CLEC test.

2/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Carol Zimmerman/Qwest presented this CR. OBF issue 1790 has removed the data elements associated with ‘Hunting’ from the LSR form. The level of effort is large. The status will be changed to presented.

Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the intent of the CR Review’s is to determine if the CRs are to remain open or if there are some that should be withdrawn. Kit stated that some CLECs who have submitted CRs no longer participate at CMP and we need to determine how those CRs could be withdrawn. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she has a contact at New Access and noted that they do attend some of the CLEC Community calls. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she agreed that it needs to be determined if some functionality was already deployed that may make some of the CRs no longer needed.

Gary stated that there are currently over 2500 issues at OBF, some new and some modified or changed. Gary stated that Qwest might want to withdraw these CRs and move toward some of the other OBF issues. Gary stated that Qwest will re-evaluate the CRs, look to see what has been implemented, and determine if these specific CRs need to remain active. Gary stated that there are other issues that may need CRs created. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked to clarify that these CRs are being withdrawn, other OBF issues are to be evaluated, and new CRs could be introduced that would be beneficial to all. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that internal meetings will be scheduled to evaluate the existing CRs and noted that a status would be provided at the April Systems CMP Meeting. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the CRs would then be withdrawn in April. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that once the evaluation is complete and the determination has been made to withdraw, the CRs would be withdrawn at the April CMP Meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it was agreed to skip LSOG 7 and implement LSOG 8. Bonnie stated that re-evaluating these CRs is a great idea as they may now be obsolete. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Qwest would try and have resolution of the LSOG CRs at April CMP and stated if a CR is not to be withdrawn, the benefit of implementing the request would be provided to the CLEC Community.

2/21/02 Carol Zimmerman/Qwest presented this CR. Issue 2091 adds new field ‘DISC ECCKT’ on EU form. The level of effort is large. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon wanted to know if they could send multiple circuits. Carol said she didn’t have the answer to that yet. Connie Winston/Qwest said that in design we would have to allow for that. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T questioned how this differed from 9.0 where you don’t have to enter address. Connie said that this is a different field/form. The status will change to presented.

Description Of Change

With OBF issue 1739 the DID Resale Services form is being totally revamped (and re-named) to accommodate DID/DOD/PBX Resale orders and DID Ports. Additionally, the current OBF DID practice does not support changes associated with DID station ranges. As a result, manual 'work around' was required from an order processing perspective. Since Qwest currently supports these types of products (e.g. Resale PBX trunks,) based on proprietary fields, implementing the revamped form should allow a more uniform ordering process from a CLEC perspective. If this is not implemented there will be a requirement to maintain a 'Qwest specific' DID Resale services form.

Issue 1825 seeks to add a new data element to several practices to identify a Billing Service Provider’s Revenue Account Code (RAO) so that calls can be billed to the appropriate Local Service Provider (LSP). Additionally, data populated in this field will be utilized to update LIDB data information. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T questioned whether this is going to tie into the usage for billing? AT&T has an issue trying to capture DUF information. Carol Zimmerman/Qwest stated that she did not think this would remedy AT&T’s concern. The issue says that the RAO is at the line level (is required to verify LIDB). Since the SOP feeds LIDB, the RAO needs to be present. The level of effort is medium. The status will change to presented.

Description Of Change

OBF issue 2148 seeks the 'revamping' of the entire Resale Private Line form to support the ordering of multi-point services, features and associated feature detail. Additionally, in support of ordering Off Premises Extensions modifications are being made to the End User and Resale Service forms. Specifically, 2 End User forms will now be initiated (rather than 1) when ordering Off Premises Extensions.

Although the order volumes associated with Resale Private Line service are low, failure to implement the revamped form may be negatively received by the CLEC community due to the requirement to maintain a 'Qwest specific' Resale Private Line form. It is also recognized that Qwest currently supports multi-point Resale Private Line services through the use of Qwest specific fields. Migrating to the 'revamped form could improve overall order processing associated with these types of services.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting

This CR was completed with 11.0 and is ok to close.

Qwest to provide the following update at the July Monthly Systems CMP Meeting:

DID Resale Services (DRS) Form not to be modified as part of the LSOG 6 implementation in Release 11.0

With LSOG 6, OBF has completely revamped the LSOG 5 DID Resale Services (DRS) Form.  The revamping includes, among other things, the renumbering, relocation, and renaming of a number of fields to accommodate the new functionality introduced with OBF LSOG 6 Issue 1739, as well as the addition of new fields to the form.  In fact, the form has been modified to such an extent that the name of the form has changed in LSOG 6 from the DID Resale Services (DRS) Form to the DID/DOD/PBX Service (DDPS) Form.

The DID Resale Services (DRS) Form is currently used by Qwest for the ordering of two products: DID In Only Trunks (Product 16) and UNE-P PBX DID In Only Trunks (Product 34).

Because LSOG 6 Issue 1739 was not ranked high enough for the 11.0 release, Qwest will not apply the functionality changes introduced with Issue 1739 (which necessitated the revamping of the form) to the DID Resale Form.  Qwest believes that had the form been revamped in IMA without implementing any of the new functionality behind it, it would have been confusing to the CLEC when using this form (i.e. had the field renumbering, relocation, and renaming been introduced, the form would have looked completely different, but the functionality behind it would have remained the same.)

Therefore, in an effort to alleviate any confusion on how the form is to be used, Qwest will not make any modification to the DRS Form as a result of LSOG 6 as part of Release 11.0.  In essence, the form will continue to look and function like the LSOG 5 DRS form that is currently implemented by Qwest.

============== 2/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Beth King/Qwest presented this CR. This is an extra large level of effort and will upgrade field numbering and naming to existing Qwest forms and EDI maps. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that if any LSOG is chosen, this one has to happen. It is the LSOG foundation. Terry Wicks/Allegiance requested that additional wording be added so that everyone understands the criticality of this CR. The level of effort is extra large. The status will be changed to presented. ================= 2/7/02 The LOE is Extra Large.

Description Of Change

This change request seeks to allow IMA to retrieve a DLR for all Circuit ID Format Types using a different field to

identify ownership.

Today, the DLR retrieval uses ACNA. This doesn't always work because the internal records use several different ownership codes. The proposed change is to establish a method that will retrieve the DLR using the inputted ownership via IMA and other ownerships that will provide the best opportunity to receive back the DLR. This

change would require the CCNA to be used rather than the ACNA. The change would better utilize several of the owner identifiers, rather than just the single owership identifier on the request.

Description Of Change

The TOS (Type of Service) field in IMA (GUI) has a dropdown menu which provides the valid values for the CLEC to choose. On UNE-P ISDN PRI, UNE-P DSS and Resale of ISDN PRI, the valid values on the dropdown menu do not reflect the correct values.

Making these changes will allow the dropdown menu to be easier to use for the CLECs and remove any invalid values.

Description Of Change

Qwest recommends removal of the Freeze PIC Indicator (FPI) field from all forms. This change is recommended because Qwest does not use this non-OBF field.

This impacts IMA EDI, GUI and LSOG and will change IMA EDI maps.

Project Meetings

Discussion form the May 16 CMP meeting: Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if this CR is SCR013002-5 with another name? Michael Buck/Qwest said that the name has not changed. Connie Winston/Qwest said that PIC freezes are not valid for CLECs. We have an optional field in IMA. This CR was opened by Qwest to allow the CLECs to vote on removing the field. Terry Bahner thought this is what sparked the discussion last month. Michael Buck/Qwest said that 30215 (Wholesale Local Exchange Freeze) is the CR that was discussed last month.

Discussion form the September 19 CMP meeting: Mike Buck/Qwest said that these CRs have not received a great deal of support in previous votes. Qwest is seeking to withdraw. This does not preclude anyone from picking these CRs up if it’s functionality you are interested in. Connie Winston/Qwest said that #3 was picked up by Ernest Group as a new CR. (discussed earlier). There was no request to change sponsorship of any of these CRs. The status of these CRs will be updated to “Withdrawn.”

CenturyLink Response

Qwest can accommodate this requeat. It will be presented for prioritization on the IMA 11.0 list. The Level of Effort is estimated to be Medium.

Description Of Change

This change request seeks to add the following Unbundled Loop and Number Portability edits to assist the CLEC in the LSR entry process. The following edits will improve flowthrough of Unbundled Loop and LNP requests minimizing Qwest manual intervention by automatically rejecting inaccurate LSRs back to the CLEC.

For Product 4/UBL:

- Implement an edit that will prevent submission of an LSR against a disconnected account.

- Implement an edit that will disallow placeholder TN entries in the AN field for activity on existing accounts. Placeholders will still be valid on ACT=N when TN reservations are not available.

- The application of dispatch USOCs to service orders should be automatic in the flow through process. Where Qwest maintains this type of functionality, CLECs should not have the ability to enter dispatch on an LSR.

For Product 5/LNP:

- Implement an edit on TC OPT field to require an entry of N if LNA=D and "PORTED NUMBER" is a range.

- Implement an edit to restrict TC OPT entry to one of 3 valid values (N, S or T).

For Products 7/UBL with LNP and 23a/Unbundled Distribution Loop with Number Portability :

- Implement an edit to allow only ACT=V or Z. Remove all rules with references to any other ACT values.

- Implement an edit for the TSP field requiring a hyphen as the 10th character for EDI. (GUI already pre-populates the hyphen.)

- Implement an edit for the SAN field to require an entry when the 1st character of TOS=3.

- Implement an edit on ECCKT field to be required when ACT=V and Z.

- Implement an edit on CFA field to be required when APOT is not populated.

- Implement an edit on IWJK field to be required when IWJQ is populated.

- Implement an edit on IWJQ field to be required when IWJK field is populated.

For Products 5/LNP, 7/UBL with LNP and 23a/Unbundled Distribution Loop with Number Portability:

- Implement an edit on TC TO PRI field to be required only when TC OPT is populated with S or T, otherwise prohibit entry.

- Implement an edit on TC TO SEC field to be required only when TC OPT is populated with T.

- Implement an edit of TCID field to be required only when TC OPT is populated with S or T.

- Implement an edit of TCID to enforce valid values for transfer of calls.

- Implement an edit of TC NAME field to be required only when TC OPT is populated with T.

12/19/02 December CMP Systems Meeting This CR was completed with 11.0 and is ok to close.

August Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Attachment R = Change Requests Committed for IMA Release 11.0 Connie Winston/Qwest - we have one small issue requiring the Sup 2 (SCR013002-8 Flowthrough on Sup 2 Category Due Date) to be a spillover for 11.1. She explained why this will be a spillover into the point release. She noted that resale and UNE sup 2 due date change orders will flow through. The unbundled loop will drop out to the Center and will be updated by the Center until 11.1. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T - that’s line item #4 in the Attachment? Connie Winston/Qwest - yes. Michael Buck/Qwest - stated that the NOTE at the bottom of the page needs to be changed from 'In Definition' to 'Packaged'. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - asked how the 11.0 PO2 CR is different than the one in 12.0. Connie Winston/Qwest - they are just different edits. The edits are noted on each of the 2 CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - with 12.0, would you say that any of the hours devoted to this would lower the 8,000 hours? Are you looking at that when you do the design? Connie Winston/Qwest - we always look at that, but the edits are different so I could expect a reduction in the LOEs. As we get further in design, we do update the LOE. Attachment R = Change Requests Committed for SATE Release 11.0 Connie Winston/Qwest - SATE has the same spillover candidate for 11.1, SCR013002-8 Sup 2. Michael Buck/Qwest - noted that items 3, 5, and 7 are SATE specific candidates. The others are IMA with SATE impacts. Wendy Green/Qwest - noted that the SATE side has a shorter list because of the GUI only impacting CRs going into IMA having no impact to SATE. Michael Buck/Qwest - any other questions in the room or on the bridge? None.

February 21, 2002 - Discussed at February CMP: Jill Martain presented CR for Qwest. This request is above the line and is not eligible for vote. Product numbers were decoded to products and CR description to be updated with Product 4 = UBL, Product 5 = LNP, Product 7 = UBL with LNP, and 23a = Unbundled Distribution Loop with Number Portability. Jonathon Spangler/AT&T questioned the PID reference in the CR Title, thought mention of a the PID was a no-no. Judy Scultz/Qwest explained that to change a PID or PAP is outside of CMP, but this is a request to improve performance - not to change a PID/PAP. Explanation accepted. Jonathon/AT&T requested that edits be separate to vote on them individually. Judy/Qwest stated that these edits are necessary to improve PID performance. This is above the line and not subject to prioritization. Judy advised that if any CLEC has a problem with some edits, please let Qwest know. Bonnie/Eschelon reiterated that need to make sure that Product & Process and Systems people are sitting at the same table to discuss the changes. Judy/Qwest advised will have Product & Process evaluate this request and if there are issues, they will be brought forward to CMP.

Description Of Change

Currently in IMA there are three categories of supplementals (corrections) that automatically fall into the manual handled bucket for manual intervention. The categories are indicated on the LSR in the SUP field:

Sup 1 indicates Cancel

Sup 2 indicates Due Date Change only

Sup 3 indicates all other changes, Name, equipment, etc.

This CR is requesting a change on the category number 2 for Due Date changes. When the SUP field on the LSR is populated with the number 2, the system should automatically flow through these LSRs and eliminate the automatic fall out for manual intervention.

Currently, Category 2 sups are being assigned for Due Date Changes as well as other changes. However, per the LSOG, Sup 2 is only for Due Date changes. With this change, valid Sup 2s (i.e. with only a Due Date change) should flowthrough, thus improvement on flowthrough. All other changes should be done on a SUP 3.

For Reqtyps AB, BB, CB, EB, and MB, for the month of Dec, 2001, there were 5,709 LSRs that dropped out for manual intervention.

Project Meetings

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was Ok to close. There were no questions or comments.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest said that when we had discussed that the 2nd half is being implemented for in the 11.1 release, specifically the design product flow through portion. When the supp 2 is coming in, we could work it in the provisioning side as well, the techs could be working the due date early, unbeknownst to the center, provisioning would stop it and say and say reject. She then stated that Jonathan Spanger/AT&T was going to take it back to his centers to make sure that was ok. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that as long as the supp we are submitting is based on an exception. The order has been submitted with the Service Order due date, we are about ready to install, it is 2 days prior, we would supp the order for the new due date, up to 2 days prior to the date that is requested. My understanding is that we supp number of our orders on a regular basis, then they will just complete out that order with the supp. It seems this would be systems edits that could block that. Connie Winston/Qwest said that what you are trying to do is supp it to what the field people are really doing. She will check but thought that was the centers understanding as well. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if they could send a supp 3 instead. Beth King/Qwest stated that has been dealt with. The centers know that in the case where there are remarks that need to be added to a supp 2, it needs to be submitted as a supp 3 with remarks. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that he needs to tell his centers that they will need to submit this as a supp 3 and clearly indicate why this is a supp 3 with remarks. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that as long as he knows that he can use a supp 3, and can tell my centers that, I am ok to close this action item. This action item will be closed.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion - IMA 11.1 Point Release Connie Winston-Qwest stated that there was a spill over candidate for 11.1, due date for design services. She stated that occasionally there could be a specific reason that an order is completed early. She stated that it is beneficial for everyone to complete the coordinated cut early. At the same time the technician is working on the coordinated cut, the centers are requesting a sup 2 due date change. The sup 2 will flow through to provisioning, provisioning would error that order because it has already been completed. When the center issues a sup 2 at or near the same time that the provisioning work is completing early, the sup 2 request will flow though and cause an error condition after FOC. Certainly, one solution could be that Qwest could implement a process that would not encourage early coordinated cuts. Or, another option would be to know that when this particular situation happens, you will get an error condition after FOC. Or, a final option would be to not deploy the flow though sup 2 due date changes. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked when 11.1 would be implemented? Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it would be in January. Allegiance asked if the problem would be for an overlap of hours or weeks? Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she thought it would be over the course of a day. Jonathan Spangler-AT&T indicated that AT&T did sup due dates, but it would depend on the completion date. Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that she thought that this error could happen today. Leilani Hines-WorldCom noted that multiple changes could, but that the CLECs still needed to be able to deliver as soon as possible. Jonathan Spangler-AT&T stated that he wanted to take the issue back to the business. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest was currently moving forward with implementation in January. She stated that any CLEC with any concerns about this issue should email them to cmpcr@qwest.com.

- August Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Attachment R = Change Requests Committed for IMA Release 11.0 Connie Winston/Qwest - we have one small issue requiring the Sup 2 (SCR013002-8 Flowthrough on Sup 2 Category Due Date) to be a spillover for 11.1. She explained why this will be a spillover into the point release. She noted that resale and UNE sup 2 due date change orders will flow through. The unbundled loop will drop out to the Center and will be updated by the Center until 11.1. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T - that’s line item #4 in the Attachment? Connie Winston/Qwest - yes. Michael Buck/Qwest - stated that the NOTE at the bottom of the page needs to be changed from 'In Definition' to 'Packaged'. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - asked how the 11.0 PO2 CR is different than the one in 12.0. Connie Winston/Qwest - they are just different edits. The edits are noted on each of the 2 CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - with 12.0, would you say that any of the hours devoted to this would lower the 8,000 hours? Are you looking at that when you do the design?

Attachment R = Change Requests Committed for SATE Release 11.0 Connie Winston/Qwest - SATE has the same spillover candidate for 11.1, SCR013002-8 Sup 2. Michael Buck/Qwest - noted that items 3, 5, and 7 are SATE specific candidates. The others are IMA with SATE impacts.

Description Of Change

This change request seeks to add the following Resale and UNE-P POTS edits to assist the CLEC in the LSR entry process. The following edits will improve the quality of Resale and UNE-P POTS requests minimizing Qwest’s manual intervention by automatically rejecting inaccuracies found on the LSRs back to the CLEC shortly after the LSR is submitted. This will ultimately improve the response times back to the CLECs on LSRs that are flow-through capable.

- Edit to require specific Feature Activity (FA) in the service detail dependent on the type of USOC and/or FID activity.

- Edit to disallow LSR ACT= N when adding new lines to an existing account. LSR ACT should = C with LNA = N.

- Edit to restrict addition of Dial Lock (OC4) or Outgoing Call Restrictions (NLUAC) when a toll block is already present on the CSR.

- Edit central region accounts to require a C.L.A.S.S. feature USOC with inward action (N, V, or T) when Call Waiting ID is requested.

- Edit to require the removal of Talking Call Waiting when a custom calling package is removed from the line.

- Edit to restrict the changing of a main line USOC to an additional line USOC and vice versa.

- Edit to ensure the RSID on the CSR and LSR match if the LSR is not for conversion or disconnect.

- Edit to establish when a restoral is for a suspended or denied account. Orders must be written different for the two scenarios.

- Establish rules to process accounts with Expanded Interconnection Channel Termination (EICT) USOCs.

- Edit for valid PIC and LPIC values.

- Edit AHN, SASN, SANO, Route, Box entries for validity.

- Edit for correct usage of the hunting section on the LSR form.

- Edit to ensure the correct USOCs are used on a residence account vs. business account.

- Edit usage of the LCC FID with blocking features.

If implemented, this CR is expected to have a positive impact on PO-2 since the edits will help improve flow through capability

Description Of Change

The FCC has mandated the implementation of Wireless/Wireline Portability (WWP) by November 24, 2002. Qwest has successfully implemented Local Number Portability (LNP) within the fourteen state Local Network region for portability with other wireline service providers. This CR seeks to implement the system and network capabilities to expand portability to Wireless Service Providers (WSPs). Qwest systems must be conditioned to accept porting requests from WSPs as well as, adding the capability to port in numbers from WSP's and provision them in our network. Qwest must be capable of porting a telephone number to a Wireless Service Provider and be able to accept a Wireless telephone number into our network and systems. This mandate is a segment of the original LNP FCC Order 95-116.

The FCC states the requiring CMRS to provide number portability is in the public interest because it will promote competition among cellular, broadband PCS, and covered SMR carriers, as well as among CMRS and wireline providers. This mandate applies when switching among wireline service providers and broadband CMRS providers, as well as among broadband CMRS providers, even if the broadband CMRS and wireline service providers or the two broadband CMRS providers are affiliated. The FCC bases this conclusion on its view that cellular, broadband PCS, and covered SMR providers will compete directly with one another, and potentially will compete in the future wireline carriers (Para. 155)

Project Meetings

September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that SCR052902-03RG was implemented in 13.0 and has been closed. Stephanie stated that when this was implemented, the NPI indicator was not made available for GUI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a ticket needs to be opened and noted that Qwest has just started to look into this. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that this has been on the question log for several months and that she was advised to submit a CR, not a trouble ticket. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would research this and asked Stephanie (Prull) to open a trouble ticket.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is in and working fine so is okay to close this CR. She asked if anyone disagreed with this closing. There were no comments or questions. This CR is in Completed status.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would deploy in Release 13.0, on August 4, 2003.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion on IMA 13.0 Packaging: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we don’t have packaging options and went right down the list. We did deploy #3 (SCR062802-09) based on the Exception Request and we used approximately 42,000 hours. I know that everyone is very familiar with these CRs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest found any synergies with other CRs. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if we find synergies we tell you upfront. We did not find any during this time. Beth Foster/Qwest noted that the SATE packaging is also listed on the CMP web site under the walk on section.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the prioritization process as defined in the CMP document. She noted that December 30th, 2002 is the due date for submitted votes. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that the due date would be included in the instructions in the notification that goes out with the ballot. Kit Thomte/Qwest reviewed the sample prioritization form. This is a Regulatory CR and will be above the line for 13.0.

August Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jeff Thompson/Qwest - Qwest will treat the date to be November 2003. This was voted low in the 12.0 vote, so will be Above the Line in the 13.0 Release. There were no questions or comments.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that there is an order to postpone this regulatory wireless item until November 2003. Becky Quintana (Colorado PUC) stated that details are not yet clear, the order has not yet been released. This CR will be included in the vote for IMA 12.0

June 20, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston (Qwest) reviewed this CR. She indicated that the date is currently November for the implementation of the regulation but that this is not cast in concrete. She described the manual process and the mechanization process. She explained that there will be field in IMA 12.0 for the appropriate indicator. Terry Wicks (Allegiance) asked if this works both ways. Wireless to Wireline and Wireline to Wireless? Connie Winston (Qwest) indicated that it did. Terry Wicks (Allegiance) requested clarification on what Qwest was going to have to change in the Qwest switches. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) explained that this is still not a nationwide number portability. Jeff reviewed what the changes would be for Qwest. He stated that the real significant change is that wireless numbers will start to appear in the database. For most of the CLECs, there will not be a technology change, just a process change. Bob Carias (NightFire) wanted to know if the technical specifications would be available in November. Connie Winston (Qwest) noted that the mandated date is November, and a manual process will take effect until mechanization. The documentation will be included with the 12.0 walk through information. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) indicated that the Regulatory CRs assume mechanization by the required date, or Qwest puts forth a plan for manual work around until it is mechanized. He further stated that Qwest believes the CR and response meets the requirements outlined by re-design. Michael Buck (Qwest) noted that Qwest sent the notice and no comments were received. He asked if this could go forward as a regulatory CR for IMA Release 12.0. There was no dissent.

RE: SCR052902-03RG (Wireless to Wireline Local Number Portability)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR052902-03RG. This request was submitted as a Regulatory CR under the Change Management Process (CMP).

On May 31, 2002 Qwest sent a notice (I.CMPR.05.31.02.F.01274.LocalNumberPort) to the CMP Community requesting comment on the disposition of this Change Request as a Regulatory Change Request. As Qwest did not receive any responses to this notice, this Change Request has been classified SCR052902-03RG as a Regulatory Change Request.

BACKGROUND

At this time, volumes of wireline to wireless portability cannot be predicted. There are 30 or more wireless Providers currently within Qwest regions. If an end user decides to disconnect their wireline TN and just keep a wireless service, they could be eligible to have that wireline TN become their wireless TN.

ANALYSIS (MANUAL)

A manual process is currently supportable for Number Port requests. Qwest currently processes an average of 25 orders per day. If there is an increase in volume of an additional 50 orders per day, a manual process becomes unsupportable. Qwest does not bill any charges for Port Out activity, so mechanization is a good way to keep processing charges low. A mechanized solution will ensure accurate and efficient processing.

The majority of port requests are processed electronically through flow-through. To ensure that these new order requests can flow through, electronic deployment would be needed. Until mechanization is in place, Provider’s can submit the initial request electronically and drop the order to manual handling, by indicating a "Y" in the Manual ID field.

ANALYSIS (MECHANIZED)

A mechanized solution will allow the Provider to submit a request electronically by populating the existing NPDI field if porting from wireline to wireless. The system will create the flow through port order, add the necessary 911 USOC, and distribute the information automatically to the E-911 database. No manual intervention will be needed.

Based upon the scope of this Change Request as currently understood this Change Request is technically feasible. Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of4650 to 7750 hours for this IMA Change Request. The Mechanization is targeted for April, 2003 as part of the IMA 12.0 release.

ANALYSIS (ADDITIONAL INFORMATION)

Qwest Retail does not process Port Out requests, so there are no parity issues with wireline/wireless portability.

The manual process is to be used from Wireless/Wireline Portability deployment (currently scheduled for November 2002) until mechanization is completed.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, the disposition of this CR as a Regulatory Change Request will be confirmed.

Sincerely, Qwest

Project Meetings

5/16/02 Systems CMP meeting Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest initially opened this CR because we have plans to move CEMR to the more high-availability area of the web. When we were doing that, we were not completely sure that there would be system changes, so we created a CR. Upon further review of the requirements, we realized that this is truly a URL change. We would like to do a notice-and-go. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we created this CR out of caution and would like to propose to withdraw the CR. This change is currently targeted for mid to late June. We are working on some netscape issues All CLECs in the room agreed to the withdrawal of this CR and the notice-and-go for the change. The status of this CR will be changed to Withdrawn.

August 22, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest - this CR deployed on August 5th and we have heard of no issues with the deployment, are we ok to close? There was no dissent to the completions of this CR.

May 16, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest explained for those on the telephone how to access this walk-on CR. He apologized for the fact that this is a walk-on, it truly should not be. If we need to address this as an exception we can talk thru that. There was no comment Judy Schultz/Qwest said that it recently came to our attention that this ASOG change is CLEC impacting. We agreed in re-design that Industry Guidelines are not to be walk on items. If we are not in agreement that this can be a walk on, then Qwest needs to ask for an exception. Qwest feels that we could not wait for the next CMP meeting because of the nature of the notifications required for this change that are due to begin next Wednesday. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other questions and there were none. Gary Veik/Qwest presented this CR and stated that on Saturday, August 3, 2002, all companies will convert to ASOG 25. Qwest is not deviating from the industry guidelines at all. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that a few items might impact the CLECs. Details of this release can be found at: http://www.atis.org/atis/clc/obf/obfhom.htm Gary Veik/Qwest reviewed the following changes: Translation Questionnaire - Expand the NPA/NXX codes from 30 to 90 iterations - Expand the NPA/NXX field from 6 bytes to accommodate number pooling arrangements - Add LRN (Location Routing Number) to help identify a switch that has ported number and is used to route a call to a switch - Add LRN G (Location Routing Number - Global) which identifies a single number to uniquely identify a switch that has ported numbers. Other Changes are minor in nature: - Change "Cage" to "Arrangement" on co-location field descriptions - Clean-up to have like field state the same information such as all be A/N - Add capability on Frame Relay services to indicated priority - Have Link Services valid for different services - Update field on Trunk Services to be valid for CCS/SS7 Links Gary Veik/Qwest stated that Qwest is following the National Standards set by OBF. Byron Dowding/Alltel asked if this impacts BDS TELIS? Gary Veik/Qwest said yes. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that this CR is specific to EXACT. There will be a CR for TELIS next month. Gary Veik/Qwest referred all to the URL for detailed information. Stated that Qwest cannot provide the document. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if this should be brought up at Re-Design? Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that all of the extra steps we take around industry standards/regulatory changes are defined in the arena of prioritized systems. This does not fall into that area. We thought we would still follow the 73-day notification. Terri Wicks/Allegiance stated that he thought we should use this as an example in re-design to help craft the language for how to handle regulatory & industry standards for non-prioritized systems. Bob Carias/NightFire stated that in November 2002, there is an FCC Mandate in regard to wireless. ILECs are making enhancements to support wireless to wireline number portability that will impact the CLECs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is aware of the change. It was defined and made clear after the voting for 11.0. We are trying to adhere very closely and we could possibly slot if for 12.0. We currently have it scoped as an enhancement. We may open a mandate CR and handle it that way. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concerns for Gary Veik? There were none raised. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the 73-day Notice would go out next Wednesday.

August 22, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest - this CR deployed on August 5th and we have heard of no issues with the deployment, are we ok to close? There was no dissent to the completions of this CR.

June 20, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Gary Veik (Qwest) explained, Last month Qwest talked about changes to the NDM. This CR includes the same changes as last month, only for TELIS. Everyone who has been involved with OBF is aware of this, so all the changes are available to the CLECs. Gary reviewed the changes. He mentioned that Qwest does not develop TELIS. He noted that Qwest is responsible for maintaining it accordingly and that if anyone is interested in more info, they could go to the ATIS web site for changes, or the Cap Gemini web site for documentation. There were no questions from any participants. Gary Veik (Qwest) noted that Qwest is working on a new application called QORA (Qwest On-line Request Application). It is based on the TELIS application but it will do a lot more. He indicated that Qwest is looking at the fourth quarter for the first roll out of the application. He indicated that Qwest is looking for any companies that would be interested in testing this application to insure the functionality that would be needed. Qwest would like to have the CLEC’s input in the early stages of development. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) replied that she would check with Eschelon to see if they would be interested in testing with Qwest, because Eschelon uses TELIS. Gary Veik (Qwest) said that if any CLEC is interested in getting more information on this, to let him know and Qwest can get them involved. Michael Buck (Qwest) thanked Gary. He reiterated that this announcement from Gary was more of an FYI, and that there will be a CR brought forward. Gary Veik (Qwest) noted that there will also be pre-order functionality made available via NDM functionality. Same offer for GUI users goes out for NDM users. Qwest wants to make sure everyone has the same capabilities. Qwest will be following the OBF standards for both of these. Michael Buck (Qwest) said that to be consistent with what’s been discussed in re-design, Qwest needs to get agreement from all participants that this can go forward as an Industry Guideline change. There was no dissent from the participants to this being an Industry Guideline change. Sharon Van Meter (AT&T) stated that she would like to run this by Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) and send an email Monday saying yes or no (as far as agreeing that this is an industry guideline change). Michael Buck (Qwest) mentioned that Qwest did send out a notification in advance of this meeting requesting responses. Sharon Van Meter (AT&T) indicated Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) has been on vacation for a while, so she was not certain if Donna had gotten it or not.

June 12, 2002 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Implementation Date: August 5, 2002

The changes to the UNIX-TELIS application as utilized by Qwest to support customer activity involving Access Service Requests are the result of decisions made at OBF (Ordering and Billing Forum). Details regarding field changes can be found in ASOG 25 (Access Service Ordering Guide). This can be found at the http://www.atis.org/atis/clc/obf/obfdocs.htm website.

Details involving the use of TELIS (TELIS User Manual) can be obtained from the Cap Gemini, Ernst & Young Website at http://vroom.capgemini.fr. You must be an existing TELIS user in order to acquire the information regarding this release.

Description Of Change

The purpose of this Change Request is to update CABS/BOS to version 38.

Telcordia Industry releases (BOS versions) are required to be implemented by the provider companies within a specific timeframe (September 1 - November 30, 2002). Qwest believes it is the customers' expectation that Qwest stay current with the BOS versions, and that they be implemented within the prescribed window.

In addition to the CABS/BOS update to version 38, this CR also includes changes in CARS record layout changed as a result of OBF issue 2214.

November 21, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the CR could be closed due to deployment. No questions or comments.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Discussion: Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that this change request is an industry release that is implemented twice a year. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this change request had anything to do with the CABS/BOS updated that was implemented on July 1. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that also had to do with BOS and that Version 38 would be implemented in November. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if anyone objected to this being an industry guideline change. Liz Balvin/WorldCom because this is billing, it does not require prioritization. Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked if everyone remembered discussing Industry Guideline CRs in redesign. This is a mandated change. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed how the language covered in redesign was written for prioritized systems. However, Qwest is complying with the document, which does no clearly distinguish between prioritized and non-prioritized systems. So although, this is not a prioritized system, Qwest is still seeking concurrence on consideration of this CR as an Industry Guideline CR. There was no objection in the room or on the bridge to classifying this CR as an Industry Guideline CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked how this change would affect them if they did not convert at the same time. Jeff Thompson/Qwest noted that it will not affect how AT&T does business with Qwest. Michael Buck/Qwest said that the status would be changed to development.

July 1, 2002 Clarification: Reviewed CR with submitter. No questions or comments.

RE: SCR062702-11IG (CABS/BOS Version 38)

This Qwest submitted Change Request indicates that updates to CABS/BOS version 38 are scheduled to take place between September 1 and November 30, 2002. Qwest will implement these changes during that timeframe. These updates are part of Telecordia updates and result from OBF issues (including OBF issue 2214, changes to the CARS record layout).

The Change Management Notification, CMPR.07.01.02.F.01290.CABSBOSVersion38, was distributed on July 2, 2002 informing of this Industry Guideline Change Request. There were no objections received by Qwest; therefore, this Change Request, SCR062702-11IG, will be classified as an Industry Guideline CMP CR. This Change Request will be at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting.

The Level of Effort (LOE) for this Change Request is 800 to 1000 hours.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

QORA (Qwest On-line Request Application) is a web-based application designed to support the ordering of access services. This application will replace the existing TELIS application which can't support enhancements required by the industry. Customers can access QORA via a web-browser and place Access Service Requests (ASR) with Qwest. QORA will provide pre-order Validation for address and CFA information, will provide more stringent edits than those currently in the Industry Standards ASR document, will provide immediate feedback on errors, and allow customers to track ASRs.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was deployed on December 8, 2003 and Qwest is okay to close it. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that the current ASR process is to be followed for QORA questions. There were no questions or comments. This CR moves to Completed Status.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest asked if this CR was okay to close. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that Eschelon has not yet rolled it out. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI just rolled out XML the previous weekend. Terri Lee/SBC asked what the correct process or forum was for asking questions. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that the March release is for OBF changes for data elements. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that questions regarding products that are CLEC impacting should be brought to CMP. Connie stated if the products were other than LIS Trunking, the IXC Process is where those questions should be taken. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that IXC related items should be directed to the CLECs Service Management Teams. Terri Lee/SBC asked the CLEC Community if they had enough questions, do they ask them all at once. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that maybe they can have a User Group. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that QORA is more than just CLECs, there are other users. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked that the CLECs give QORA time and stated that the CLECs could ask questions at CMP. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that CMP is appropriate for CLEC questions and asked that the CLECs also look at the FAQ Section of the web site for information. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if QORA flash-cuts like IMA GUI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the old environment is still functional, until TELIS retires. Connie stated that once TELIS retires, it will be a flash cut but it is not yet.

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that this CR remain open, as Eschelon has not yet deployed it. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is the equivalent to XML app-to-app. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is the equivalent to NDM and noted that it gives both preorder and order capability. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the implementation date for this CR has moved to December 8, 2003. There were no questions or comments. This Action Item is Closed.

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR will be deploying on October 29, 2003.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Beth King/Qwest reviewed the status of the timelines of the projects and noted that tentative timelines for the retiring of TELIS would be 1st or 2nd quarter of 2004. Beth stated that both TELIS and QORA would be available at first, then Qwest would formally retire TELIS. Beth noted that a flash cut would not be required. Beth noted that details are contained on the web site and noted that the URL is included in the Action Item. There were no comments or questions. This Action Item is Closed.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Beth King/Qwest reviewed the ASR improvement presentation. These improvements will improve flow through, quality, FOC timelines, reduce manual handling and errors. She also reviewed the existing and future ASR submittal process flow. Beth King/Qwest discussed SCR062802-03 (ASR NDM Change Existing App to App)) and stated that July 1, 2003 is the target deployment date. She then reviewed SCR062802-02 (ASR Pre-order Via XML New App-to-App) She stated that Qwest was seeking a decreased timeline and has submitted an Exception Request (SCR030403-01EX) Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that a notification will be sent that will provide the logistics for the Vote Meeting to be held on March 26, 2003. She also reviewed what a ‘Yes” and ‘No’ vote will indicate. A vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate a preference to deploy SCR062802-02 (ASR pre-order via XML) on the target date of July 1, 2003 in conjunction with SCR062802-03 (ASR validation). This deployment would have a timeline of 100 days versus a timeline of 270 days for a new application to application as defined in the CMP process. A vote of ‘No’ will indicate a preference that Qwest NOT implement a change to the timeline. Donna Osborne-Miller asked whom she should contact if she had questions. Beth King/Qwest stated that any questions could be sent to her or the cmpcr@qwest.com email box. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked about XML. Beth King/Qwest stated that they were working on having XML standard. Beth King/Qwest asked if there were any questions on the Exception CR (SCR030403-01EX).

Terry Lee/SBC asked if these were target dates Beth King/Qwest said that yes they were target dates.

August 22 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kim Kessler/Qwest - this is to replace the 3270 TELIS application, which is limited in its functionality. Replacing with a new GUI. The orders will go through faster, the ASRs will get submitted much faster and cleaner. Terry Wicks/Allegiance - you are saying that the TELIS application will be eliminated. Kim Kessler/Qwest - yes. Terry Wicks/Allegiance - with 20,000+ hours it will never get prioritized. Judy Schultz/Qwest - this is not an IMA candidate, it will not impact prioritization. Terry Wicks/Allegiance - ok, thank you. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - is there an implementation date? Kim Kessler/Qwest - not yet. We will follow normal notification process. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - this obviously won’t have a prioritization, how does it get approved, how do you get CLEC approval? Judy Schultz/Qwest - we submitted a CR, as we are required to do. This is an early heads-up, wanted to get it on the table to let everyone know what’s going on. The CMP process will be followed. There will be dual functionality for a brief time. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - ok Jonathan Spangler/AT&T - what is the impact to electronic bonding? Kim Kessler/Qwest - those impacts are discussed in the next two CRs. Michael Buck/Qwest - this will be updated to presented. Qwest will bring information forward as it is known.

Description Of Change

Majority of ASRs are received from customers via an existing mechanized transmission process and loaded into the Qwest ordering system. These ASRs are only validated to ensure that fields are populated/not populated, and that data meets existing OBF ASR Industry Standards. This approach allows alot of room for errors that requires manual effort on the part of the customer and Qwest to resolve. Pre-Order Validation via XML will allow customers to pre-validate CFA information, Address information, and requested service (NC/NCI/SECNCI) before ASRs are created and submitted.

Pre-Order Validation will provide the capability for Qwest to receive the data files from the customer and edit the information not only on OBF ASR Industry Standard guidelines, but also rules specific to Qwest. Also included in the Pre-Order Validation process will be the capability to validate address information and CFA information. If there are errors, information will be sent back to the customer immediately for resolution. The return file will identify the errors incurred and will also include specific information related to valid address and CFA matches.

8/22/02 Systems CMP Meeting Kim Kessler/Qwest reviewed the CR, there will be more edits for a cleaner ASR and validation will be upfront. This is the GUI equivalent of the batch process. Byron Dowding/Alltel will this go through the Netscape browser or will digital certificates be used? Kim Kessler/Qwest we don’t know yet, we’re not far enough in the process; we will let you know as soon as it’s been decided. Byron Dowding/Alltel my preference would be for both to be used. Michael Buck/Qwest We will strive to support the industry supported browser or browsers. Information will be brought forward as it is known. Alltel’s preference will be noted. This CR will be updated to Presented status.

Description Of Change

OBF issue 2367 created data element 'Send to OCN' in positions 187-190 on 110XXX EMI records to ensure the appropriate company receives the record for billing in a meet point environment.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLE:

Resolution of OBF 2367 created the data element "Send to OCN" to be populated on the 110XXX EMI records to ensure the appropriate company receives the records for billing in a meet point situation. The data element resides in positions 187-190 on the following EMI records: 110101, 110102, 110103, 110104, 110105, 110106, 110120, 110122, 110125, 110126, 110131, 110132, 110162, 110201. The "Send to OCN" should be populated with the OCN of the company that is receiving the records at all times in a meet point situation, but it is not prohibited from being populated for other purposes. Qwest's compliance implementing the OBF issue will meet customer's expectations.

Description Of Change

Requesting CLECs use the new revised Dispute Format developed at the OBF. We would like to receive our disputes in the format agreed to at the Industry for OBF issues 2002, 2307, & 2348. This form provides for disputes to be detailed at the Bill/Summary Bill/Ban level. Also to be provided will be the reason code for charges in dispute. See attached dispute template in word format. It can also be submitted in the excel format developed.

On August 10, 1999 OBF issue 2002 - Standard Dispute Template- was opened and stated: Several providers have started sending out Dispute Templates to be followed by customers when they send disputes to the provider. In an effort to eliminate multiple dispute formats a Standard Dispute Format should be created for use by all providers and customers.

The issue was closed on November 11, 2000 with the following resolution: The Dispute File Specifications document has been created which establishes the record layout and requirements associated with the process to be followed for disputes other than PICC disputes. This document will be owned and maintained by the OBF Billing Committee and available on the ATIS Web Site.

It is expected that all customers and providers will follow the guidelines in the Dispute File Specifications document when filing and receiving disputes.

Then it was determined at the OBF billing committee that the template format created could be more user friendly and may need some additonal fields added. So, 2 additional OBF issues were opened to address these concerns. OBF issue 2307 and 2348 were opened. These issues addressed template additions and further definition on fields required for investigation on dipsutes submitted. As of August 21, 2002 (OBF 79) these issues are in Initial Closure.

10/17/02 Systems CMP Meeting

SCR090402-01IG Implement new Industry Dispute form (originated by Qwest) Michael Buck/Qwest stated that process document calls for Industry Guidelines to be brought though the systems meeting. That applies even in the case where we know that it is a product/process request. Michael noted that a notice was sent and that as a result, Eschelon did submit a question; it was not an objection. There were no objections received to proceed with this request as an Industry Guideline CR. Michael Buck/Qwest-so after we finish discussing it, the appropriate thing will be to cross it over and continue talking about it in the Product/Process CMP Meetings going forward. Sue Kriebel/Qwest presented the CR and provided background and issue being discussed at OBF. The issue for enhancing the template was reviewed and put in initial closure in the August OBF. Will look to the November OBF for it to go into final closure. Sue stated that at OBF, the billing customer’s stated that as they file disputes, each provider had a different form. A lot of CLECs stated that it was difficult to manage. Issue 2002 was opened, for a template. The issue was resolved and documented. It was a Word document, an EXCEL document, and a comma delimited file. This worked for several companies but it was not user friendly. Issues 2307 and 2308 were for additional information, as applicable, and to make the format friendlier. The Word, EXCEL, and comma delimited file documentation was updated with the OBF issues. Qwest would like to implement the guideline form so Qwest can be provided the information needed for research and resolution of disputes. Sue asked if there were any questions. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the web site provides the location as to where to send the forms. Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that the ATIS web site has the form that can be downloaded. That download can be used with the existing communication process. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the OBF had a guideline as to when disputes are to be done. Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that no, those are policy issues and advised of the AT&T contact name. Bill Markert/Eschelon stated that Eschelon receives 80% of their bills via BillMate files. Eschelon sends disputes using the EXCEL spreadsheet. Is concerned about filling out 79 fields when giving Qwest all the information that Qwest needs. Bill stated that Eschelon currently provides Qwest with all the information that Qwest needs. Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that she agreed with Bill (Eschelon) and that Qwest will still accept the spreadsheet that Eschelon is sending today (provided all information needed for a dispute is present). Qwest would like the face page information such as the bill date, dollar amount, total, etc. Sue stated that this is not a guideline that Qwest is imposing, Qwest is responding to the request for 1 format. Bill Markert/Eschelon stated that Eschelon already provides the BAN and information so why the need to fill out another page. Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that you will not be providing all 79 fields, if you are currently providing all the necessary information. Sue reiterated that Qwest is not imposing this. The guideline is for the information that is needed be provided for the dispute. Sue stated that as long as Qwest is given what is needed, Qwest will not make you fill out another piece of paper. Qwest is responding to a request for 1 format. This is not a forced thing. Bill Markert/Eschelon asked for confirmation that this is optional and that disputes would not be denied. Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that that was a true statement. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon thanked Qwest for the clarification and stated that Eschelon’s questions were based on the understanding that this was going to be mandated. Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that no, it’s not forced. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other questions on the CR or the process? There were no other questions or comments brought forward. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the CR status would be updated to Presented and that the CR will be crossed over to product/process.

RE: SCR090402-01IG (Implement new Industry Dispute form)

Qwest initiated a Change Request using the Change Management Process (CMP) for Industry Guideline Change Requests.

The Change Request Originator has indicated that the Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF), has provided guidelelines in an effort to eliminate multiple dispute formats. According to OBF, the Dispute File Specifications document has been created which establishes the record layout and requirements associated with the process to be followed for disputes other than PICC disputes. This document will be owned and maintained by the OBF Billing Committee and available on the ATIS Web Site .

In accordance with Section 5.1.1 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html, Qwest has posted this Industry Guideline CR to the interactive reports on the Qwest Wholesale CMP web site. This CR will be addressed at the October 17, 2002 Monthly CMP Systems Meeting and identified in the meeting distribution packet.

This Industry Guideline change request will be implemented as a Product/Process change and will follow the Crossover process as documented in Section 5.7 in the Change Management Process Document.

Sincerely,

Qwest

Description Of Change

WAC 480-80-206(3)(a) and (b) requires that "(3) Each telecommunications company offering service under a price list must include in each customer bill or notice: (a) The Internet address (uniform resource locator) of the website containing its price list; and (b) The toll-free telephone number to use in requesting price list copies and a statement that there is no charge for the price list copy."

Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission Docket Number UT020631 (7) states that "Effective August 28, 2002, through December 31, 2002, Qwest Corporation is granted a waiver of the requirement in WAC 480-80-206(3)(a) and (b) to include the Internet address of price lists and a statement of price list availability on each bill. To the extent other telecommunications companies use Qwest’s billing and collection services, the waiver applies to those companies."

To meet this requirement, Qwest will provide the presentation of third party toll-free Telephone Numbers (one for general inquiries and another for rate information) and the presentation of the third-party biller's website will be available on paper and BillMate. As a result, BillMate will contain a new field that will only be populated with third party biller's information.

IMPACT TO: BillMate, Paper Bill, and CABS

Project Meetings

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR was deployed on 12/12/02 and is ok to close.

- October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed the exception to walk on the regulatory CR for billing last month. Status update - we did schedule a meeting pending any possible concerns, no objections received. Updated status, it is regulatory, comments cycle ends on October 19, planned implementation date of December 13th. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if CABS would be added along with BillMate and Paper Bill. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that CABS would be added.

-- Announcement Date: September 10, 2002 Effective Date: Immediately Notification Number: CMPR.09.10.02.F.01325.CMPExceptionVote Notification Category: Change Management Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CMP 'EXCEPTION' VOTE REQUIRED Associated CR # or System Name and Number: SCR091002-01RGEX Pursuant to Sections 16.3 and 17.3 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html, the purpose of this notification is to alert the CMP community that Qwest has received an Exception Request that will be discussed and voted on at the September 19, 2002, Monthly Systems CMP Meeting.

At this meeting, participants will vote to accept or decline to treat this request as an Exception in accordance with Section 17.0 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html.

Exception Request Details: Requestor: Qwest Description of request with good cause for seeking an exception: The purpose of this Exception Request is to secure agreement with the CMP Community that this proposed Regulatory Change Request can be brought forward at the September Systems CMP meeting.

Qwest believes that the need to issue draft interface technical specifications by September 30 in order to meet the mandated date for implementation constitutes good cause for treating this request as an exception.

WAC 480-80-206(3)(a) and (b) requires that "(3) Each telecommunications company offering service under a price list must include in each customer bill or notice: (a) The Internet address (uniform resource locator) of the website containing its price list; and (b) The toll-free telephone number to use in requesting price list copies and a statement that there is no charge for the price list copy."

Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission Docket Number UT020631 (7) states that "Effective August 28, 2002, through December 31, 2002, Qwest Corporation is granted a waiver of the requirement in WAC 480-80-206(3)(a) and (b) to include the Internet address of price lists and a statement of price list availability on each bill. To the extent other telecommunications companies use Qwest’s billing and collection services, the waiver applies to those companies."

To meet this requirement, Qwest will provide the presentation of third party toll-free Telephone Numbers (one for general inquiries and another for rate information) and the presentation of the third-party biller's website will be available on paper and BillMate. As a result, BillMate will contain a new field that will only be populated with third party biller's information.

Qwest has negotiated a December 12, 2002 implementation date to meet the December 31, 2002 date provided by WAC 480-80-206. In order to comply with the Change Management Process for Changes to an Existing Application to Application OSS Interface, Qwest will need to issue draft interface technical specifications by September 30 in order to meet a December 12, 2002 Release Production date. In order to release the specifications on September 30, 2002, Qwest must bring the CMP CR forward for discussion at the September 19, 2002 Monthly Systems CMP meeting.

Desired outcome: The desired outcome of this Exception Request is to agree to treat this change as a Regulatory CR prior to the October Systems CMP Meeting. To do so requires the CMP Community to agree to an exception to the following provisions of the CMP:

5.1.1. "Not later than 8 business days prior to the CMP Systems Monthly meeting any party objecting to the classification of such CR as Regulatory or Industry Guideline must submit a statement documenting reasons why the objecting party does not agree that the CR should be classified as Regulatory or Industry Guideline change." 5.1.1. "Regulatory and Industry Guideline CRs may not be presented as walk-on items." 5.1.1. "If Qwest or any CLEC has objected to the classification of a CR as Regulatory or Industry Guideline, that CR will be discussed at the next Monthly CMP Management Systems Meeting. At that meeting, Qwest and the CLECs will conduct a vote under Section 17.0 to determine whether there is unanimous agreement." If there is unanimous agreement on this Exception Request, Qwest proposes the following alternative process for this Change Request:

Any party objecting to the classification of this CR as a Regulatory request submit a statement documenting reasons why it should not be classified as such by September 23, 2002. In anticipation of possibly receiving objections to treating this CR as a Regulatory request, Qwest will schedule an Emergency Exception Systems CMP Meeting on September 24, 2002. At the September 24, 2002 meeting, Qwest will follow the process in section 5.1.1, albeit at an Emergency Exception meeting rather than the Monthly CMP Meeting. Thus, "if Qwest or any CLEC has objected to the classification of a CR as Regulatory or Industry Guideline, that CR will be discussed at the [September 24, 2002 meeting]. At that meeting, Qwest and the CLECs will conduct a vote under Section 17.0 to determine whether there is unanimous agreement."

If Qwest receives no objections documenting why this CR should not be treated as a Regulatory CR, Qwest will cancel the September 24, 2002 meeting by e-mail.

Supporting documentation: See CR, SCR091002-01RGEX, attached.

See WAC 480-80-206, attached

See Docket Number UT020631

Logistics for Call/Meeting: This request will be discussed and voted on at the September 19, 2002, Monthly Systems CMP Meeting. Date: Thursday, September 19, 2002 Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM MT Location: Inverness Hotel Englewood, Colorado

Conference Bridge Information: Number: 877-572-8687, Passcode: 3393947#. Vote: Yes: A vote of "Yes" will indicate a preference that SCR091002-01RGEX be treated as an Exception Request following the alternative process suggested by the CR submitter. No: A vote of "No" will indicate a preference that SCR091002-01EX not be treated as an Exception Request. Decision: Qwest’s position is that this request seeks to alter parts of the CMP other than established timelines. Therefore, this vote requires unanimous approval to grant the exception request. Deadline for e-mail votes: All e-mail votes must be received by Qwest, cmpcr@qwest.com, no later than 6:00 AM MT on Thursday, September 19, 2002. (Please refer to Section 17.4.3 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document, http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html, for e-mail ballot format and procedures.) Change Request Number: SCR091002-01RGEX Primary contact information: Michael Buck, Qwest CMP Manager, mjbuck@qwest.com, 303-294-1633 On September 10, 2002, Qwest acknowledged this request by e-mail.

RE: SCR091002-01EXRG (Bill Format Changes allowing for inclusion of Third-Party reference TNs and URLs)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR091002-01EXRG. This request was submitted as a Regulatory CR under the Change Management Process (CMP).

On September 10, 2002 Qwest sent a notice to the CMP Community requesting that this CR be treated as an Exception request. In the event that the CMP Community agrees to treat this CR as a Regulatory Exception CR, Qwest provides the following data in accordance with the “Implementation of Regulatory CRs” section (5.1.2) of the Wholesale Change Management Process Document.

BACKGROUND

WAC 480-80-206(3)(a) and (b) requires that "(3) Each telecommunications company offering service under a price list must include in each customer bill or notice: (a) The Internet address (uniform resource locator) of the website containing its price list; and (b) The toll-free telephone number to use in requesting price list copies and a statement that there is no charge for the price list copy."

Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission Docket Number UT020631 (7) states that "Effective August 28, 2002, through December 31, 2002, Qwest Corporation is granted a waiver of the requirement in WAC 480-80-206(3)(a) and (b) to include the Internet address of price lists and a statement of price list availability on each bill. To the extent other telecommunications companies use Qwest’s billing and collection services, the waiver applies to those companies."

ANALYSIS (MANUAL)

No manual process required or possible.

ANALYSIS (MECHANIZED)

To meet this requirement, Qwest will provide the presentation of third party toll-free Telephone Numbers (one for general inquiries and another for rate information) and the presentation of the third-party biller's website will be available on paper and BillMate. As a result, BillMate will contain a new field that will only be populated with third party biller's information.

Based upon the scope of this Change Request as currently understood this Change Request is technically feasible. Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 2000 to 3000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Change Request. The Mechanization is targeted for December 13, 2002.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, the disposition of this CR as an Exceptioni Regulatory Change Request will be addressed.

Sincerely, Qwest

Project Meetings

8/22/02 Systems CMP Meeting

Mark Heline/Qwest Reviewed the converting of web access from IXC over to service delivery gateway for this CR. This won’t affect anyone who is already using the service delivery gateway. Some CLECs will need to get userid’s and digital certificates. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon is there a proposed implementation date? Mark Heline/Qwest not at this time, but we will follow the CMP guidelines Jeff Thompson/Qwest let’s create an action item to communicate the timeline. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T what billing files are we talking about? Jeff Thompson/Qwest there are many ways in which you can get your billing files, off the web is only one way, you can elect for NDM, and we actually ship out cartridge tapes, and we are trying to consolidate web farms to cut costs. If a CLEC wants files off the web, this will be the way to get them. We are not changing the method of access, just where you go get it. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon do we (Eschelon) get items off the web today? Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon yes Kathy. Liz Balvin/WorldComregarding the timing, you are not going to do it in the next couple of weeks? Jeff Thompson/Qwest no not in the next couple of weeks. Liz Balvin/WorldCom so this is our first notification? Jeff Thompson/Qwest yes, we will bring it forward again when we have additional information.

Description Of Change

In July 2002, Qwest and the CLEC community prioritized CMP Change Requests (CRs) for inclusion in IMA Release 12.0. This prioritization included twelve (12) Local Service Ordering Guide 6 (LSOG 6) CRs that addressed eighteen (18) OBF issues. The Ordering and Billing Forum has recommended a 10/11/02 to 03/14/03 implementation window for LSOG 6. The next major release, IMA 13.0, currently has a planned Release Production Date of August 18, 2003.

Following this prioritization many CLECs voiced concerns about the composition of the IMA 12.0 Release. In response to this concern, Qwest seeks an exception to the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, Section 10.2.2, which states, ‘If the recommended implementation date for a Industry Guideline CR requires all or a part of a the change to be included in the upcoming Major Release, the CR will not be subject to ranking and will be automatically included in that Major Release, unless Qwest and the CLECs unanimously agree otherwise.’ If Qwest adheres to the existing process, absent unanimous agreement otherwise, the entire IMA Release 12.0 will contain only LSOG (Industry Guideline) CRs. Qwest believes that this fact constitutes “good cause” for seeking an Exception to the process.

Qwest requests that the upcoming IMA 12.0 Release be comprised of approximately 50% Industry Guideline CRs and approximately 50% CLEC and Qwest originated CRs. Qwest proposes that the CRs that make up these percentages be selected according to their rank in the IMA 12.0 prioritization conducted in July, 2002.

Qwest requests an Emergency Call/Meeting, pursuant to Section 16.2, prior to the next Monthly CMP Meeting.

8/22/02 Systems CMP Meeting

Michael Buck/Qwest began the discussion pointing to the initial prioritization list. He reviewed the exception that Qwest initiated, to seek clarity of the path of the 12.0 Release. The exception meeting was held and 2 options were voted on. Option 1 was sticking to the process mandated by the CMP or Option 2 a 50/50 split. Option 2 won the vote. Michael stated that WorldCom had some concern about the option selected and has submitted an exception CR (SCR081402-01EX). Michael stated that WorldCom’s exception CR was initiated in response to the vote of the Qwest request. Michael Buck/Qwest before we get to WorldCom's exception CR, are there any questions on what led us to where we are? There were no questions.

August 14, 2002 Exception CR Emergency Call/Meeting Meeting Minutes

The meeting began at 12:00 p.m. MT

Introductions

Michael Buck (Qwest) opened the meeting and asked everyone on the bridge to announce him/herself. All the participants announced themselves.

Michael Buck (Qwest) reviewed what constitutes a quorum. The calculation consists of compiling the number of attendees at the last six days of Monthly CMP Meetings (May, June, July-Product/Process/Systems). The highest and lowest numbers are discarded. If 62.5% or more of the Average Number of Carriers is present, a quorum has been established. Based on the fact that there were 8 carriers on the call, quorum was established.

Michael Buck (Qwest) reviewed the purpose of the call. Qwest seeks an exception to the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, Section 10.2.2, which states, ‘If the recommended implementation date for an Industry Guideline CR requires all or a part of the change to be included in the upcoming Major Release, the CR will not be subject to ranking and will be automatically included in that Major Release, unless Qwest and the CLECs unanimously agree otherwise.’ If Qwest adheres to the existing process, absent unanimous agreement otherwise, the entire IMA Release 12.0 will contain only LSOG (Industry Guideline) CRs. Qwest believes that this fact constitutes good cause for seeking an Exception to the process.

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that Qwest is requesting that the upcoming IMA 12.0 Release be comprised of approximately 50% CLEC and Qwest CMP CRs and 50% LSOG CRs. Qwest proposes that the CRs that make up these percentages be selected according to their rank in the IMA 12.0 prioritization conducted in July, 2002. Michael Buck (Qwest) also stated that the default option (vote of no) will indicate a preference to follow the CMP as described in Section 10.2.2 of the Wholesale Change Management Document The IMA 12.0 Release would consist of only LSOG candidates.

Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if there were any questions or comments.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if Qwest believes that they can implement all LSOG 6 candidates in the IMA 12.0 Release.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that even if 12.0 were devoted 100% to LSOG 6 CRs, not all LSOG 6 CRs would be implemented.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) would like it noted that on the 8/14/02 call, Qwest stated that even if 12.0 was devoted 100% to LSOG 6 CRs, not all LSOG 6 CRs would be implemented, thus Qwest would continue to not be able to achieve full LSOG 6 compliance by the recommended implementation date of 3/14/03.

Linda Wilson (NCT) asked when the LSOG 6 candidate for the field numbering and field name change would be implemented.

Connie Winston (Qwest) stated that OBF Issues 1482 and 2111 (field numbering and field name change) are packaged in the IMA 11.0 Release scheduled for deployment in November 18, 2002.

Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) requested an explanation of what CR’s would be included and wanted further explanation for the purpose of the vote.

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that this Exception request is not specific to any single Change Request. Qwest is seeking agreement from the CLECs that the upcoming IMA 12.0 Release be comprised of approximately 50% CLEC and Qwest CMP CRs and 50% LSOG CRs. Michael Buck (Qwest) also stated that the default option (vote of no) will indicate a preference to follow the CMP process as described in Section 10.2.2 of the Wholesale Change Management Document – The IMA 12.0 Release would consist of only LSOG candidates.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) referred to the language in the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, Section 10.2.2, which states, ‘If the recommended implementation date for an Industry Guideline CR requires all or a part of a change to be included in the upcoming Major Release, the CR will not be subject to ranking and will be automatically included in that Major Release, unless Qwest and the CLECs unanimously agree otherwise.’ Liz Balvin (WorldCom) indicated that the WorldCom interpretation of this language would call for Qwest to be LSOG 6 compliant by 3/14/03. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) further indicated that the WorldCom view is that Qwest is ignoring Section 10.2.2. A "no" vote stated that it would indicate a preference to follow the existing CMP process as described in Section 10.2.2 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document. In reality a "no" vote was to indicate a preference to allow Qwest to implement only a portion of LSOG 6, based on the level of effort assigned to LSOG 6 changes versus the the hours and resources available for Release 12.0 as unilaterally determined by Qwest, which, in fact, is not in compliance with Section 10.2.2 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) stated that the current process put LSOG CRs should all be above the line.

Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) asked if Qwest’s request would split the hours be 20,000 hours for LSOG and 20,000 hours for the other CRs.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) said yes, the hours would be split as evenly as possible.

Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) asked if the LSOG 6 CRs would be worked in the order they were prioritized.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) said that if the decision was made to go 50/50 that he would prefer to re-prioritize. Terry Wicks (Allegiance) noted that he might have prioritized the list differently if he’d had that in mind when performing the initial prioritization.

Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) said that AT&T agrees with Allegiance’s request

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) said that time is of the essence and Qwest proposed to proceed with development based upon the current prioritization.

LeiLani Hines (WorldCom) asked if there could be a third option.

Michael Buck (Qwest) said that Qwest is willing to entertain other options. However, the purpose of this call is to vote on whether to accept or decline the current Exception Change Request as written. If other options were to be considered, they would need to be submitted as Exception Change Requests per the Wholesale Change Management Process document that attendees agreed to in the Redesign process.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) said that WorldCom disagrees with the proposed two options and believes an alternate option should be brought forward.

Michael Buck (Qwest) reiterated that any CMP participant could submit an Exception Request to propose another option and again reminded everyone of the purpose of this call.

Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) said that they understood the purpose of this call but wanted to know if there was a third option.

Linda Wilson (NCT) stated that NCT’s preference would be to go with the CMP prioritization previously conducted.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that WorldCom feels stuck in this position. She indicated that WorldCom believes this is really all about Qwest resources and that the CLECs CRs will continue to be pushed out. She stated that Qwest has only 2 releases scheduled this year when Qwest agreed to have a minimum of 3 releases per year in redesign. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) also stated that Qwest can not even talk about existing CR synergies and WorldCom has previously requested Qwest to provide information on LSOG 6 and LSOG 7. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) noted that Qwest has stated that they will not be able to provide any such information until September.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that WorldCom would like to leave IMA 12.0 as prioritized and have an additional meeting to discuss LSOG going forward.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) addressed WorldCom’s comment on resources. Qwest has 3 Releases scheduled in 2002. There are currently 2 Releases scheduled in 2003 and a plan for 3 Releases to be scheduled in 2004. Jeff Thompson/Qwest noted that the appearance of 2 releases scheduled for 2003 was a scheduling issue, not a decrease in resources. He indicated that the third release for 2003 would be in development during the end of the year and would release into production around February 2004. Regardless of whether there were two or three Releases scheduled during the course of a year, the resources stay constant. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) reiterated that this does not represent a reduction in resources.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if Qwest would still support 120,000 hours.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that it would, but that he did not have the numbers with him, and he was not going to do the math at this moment. Qwest could talk about scheduling in another meeting. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) reiterated that the resources remain constant throughout the course of the year

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) indicated that the current issue is not about pushing CLECs CR’s aside. He stated that the reason Qwest brought forward this Exception CR was to address the concern that LSOG may take up the entire release. The issue is how to manage release capacity within the constraints set forth in the Change Management Processes. Regarding the LSOG 6 and LSOG 7 synergies, he indicated that Qwest was not in a position to accurately assess synergies because OBF had not yet completed definition on the LSOG 7 issues. That information would not likely be available until late September and decisions regarding how to move forward with IMA 12.0 need to be made now.

Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) asked if LSOG could fall in a point release.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) said that Qwest could look at that going forward.

Connie Winston (Qwest) noted that Qwest tries to avoid code changes as spillover candidates in point releases. The concern is in the delay in the CLECs ability to use the functionality deployed in this manner.

Linda Wilson (NCT) asked when they could take another vote.

Michael Buck (Qwest) explained that an Exception Request can be submitted by any carrier at any time.

Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) asked when the drop-dead date was for changing the order of the CRs Qwest would work for 12.0.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that the date had past.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) said that WorldCom would like IMA 12.0 to be implemented according to the prioritization conducted after the July CMP meeting with a follow-up meeting scheduled to determine how to treat LSOG going forward.

Michael Buck (Qwest) indicated at Qwest desired to follow the processes as outlined in the Wholesale Change Management Process document. Qwest believes that to request an option other than the two options on the table at this meeting would require the initiation of a separate Exception Request.

Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) asked if AT&T could have a few minutes off-line to discuss their vote.

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated ‘yes’ and asked that all participants do so. Michael Buck/Qwest further indicated that while the decision-makers for Qwest were not on the call, the representatives from Qwest who were present believed that Qwest may not be inclined to support an Exception requesting that IMA 12.0 be comprised of prioritized CRs at the expense of LSOG CRs. However, Qwest would need to evaluate such an Exception Request before a definitive answer could be given.

Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) thanked Michael Buck for that input and stated that it would impact Eschelon’s decision.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if Qwest could get the appropriate decision-makers in the room to discuss her proposal further.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) reminded everyone of the purpose of the meeting to vote yes or no on this Exception Request. He stated that if another option was requested, a new Exception CR needed to be submitted.

Michael Zulevic (Covad) stated that he agrees with keeping IMA 12.0 Release as is and recommended discussing this issue in redesign.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) reminded participants that this topic was already brought up in the last redesign session.

Scott Ambrose (Integra) asked what happens going forward with future Releases if everyone voted for the 50/50 option.

Michael Buck (Qwest) said that Qwest’s intent was for this Exception Request to be applicable only to IMA 12.0. For future releases, Qwest would expect to follow the documented processes as agreed to in redesign unless another Exception Request was initiated. He indicated that the vote for IMA 13.0 will take place in the December timeframe.

Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that the vote participants needed to determine the vote at the current meeting.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) added Tom Dixon (WorldCom) to the conference call and re-stated WorldCom’s position and concern associated with this Exception Request.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) reiterated again why Qwest submitted this Change Request. Qwest feels that this Request is a fair meet point. Qwest is willing to compromise but we can’t totally ignore LSOG and only implement CLEC CRs.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that LSOG 7 is right around the corner and Qwest has put the CLECs in a time crunch.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) asked why this problem wasn’t recognized and addressed as part of a previous release.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) stated that in defense of Qwest, the CLECs were part of the problem associated with the IMA 11.0 Release. He indicated that this problem would exist for 12.0 regardless of how it was addressed for IMA 11.0.

Michael Buck (Qwest) said that Qwest did hold a meeting to discuss LSOG 6 candidates in early January 2002. At that time, Qwest shared concerns with the CMP community regarding the large size of LSOG 6 and the likelihood that to fully implement it would take all or most of two or more releases. Additionally, he pointed out that IMA 11.0 did include a number of LSOG 6 candidates.

Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) asked if Qwest would look at a 70/30 split.

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated again that Qwest would entertain any additional Exception Requests submitted.

Scott Ambrose (Integra) asked Qwest to define ‘abstain.’

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that abstain means that the participant elects not to vote. An abstention is neither a Yes or a No vote and therefore does not count one way or the other in calculating unanimity.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) and Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) both expressed concerns associated with the 13.0 Release and being in the same position as 12.0. Terry Wicks (Allegiance) encouraged participants to think in the long term as well as the short term regarding the need to consider LSOG going forward.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) asked what the chance was of getting another release added to the schedule.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) mentioned the Special Change Request Process (SCRP) as one mechanism to get more resources and dollars.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) asked what are the ramifications of not being in compliance with LSOG were.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) stated that Qwest would represent that it was not in compliance due to a unanimous vote by Qwest and the CLECs to move forward with this Exception Request.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) stated that the issue with WorldCom interpretation of this language requiring Qwest to be completely LSOG 6 compliant with the implementation of 12.0.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) reiterated that Qwest brought this issue forward in a recent redesign meeting and that the CLECs decided that the existing Industry Guideline language was sufficient. Qwest believes that if there are proposed modications to the CMP language or processes that those proposals need to use the processes for change as specified in the Wholesale Change Management Process document.

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that in her view, Qwest had stated that it would obstruct 12.0 re-prioritization. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if it would be possible to reissue this Exception Request listing all the options.

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that the purpose of this call was to address the Exception Request currently on the table. If there are other options or something new is to be requested, a new Exception Request needs to be submitted and Qwest will follow the documented process for bringing the Exception Request to the entire CMP community.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) asked what the options are on this Exception Change Request.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) reiterated that the purpose of this call and summarized the Exception Change Request on the table.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) said that the perception is that Qwest is bringing forward an ultimatum. He asked why these Change Requests were not done “Above the Line” in 11.0 since that is what the process dictates and they were submitted 1/31/02.

Michael Buck (Qwest) said that the CMP language describing the process had not been baselined when these CRs were submitted. He reiterated that Qwest did host a meeting with the CMP community outlining Qwest’s concerns with the size and scope of LSOG 6.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) added that at last month’s CMP Meeting he brought up the fact that all the LSOG CRs should be Above the Line for 12.0. But that the meeting participants decided to prioritized anyway just to see where everything landed. He stated that the reality is that we need to vote one way or another today on this Exception Change Request.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) stated that it appears that unanimous agreement was reached at the monthly meeting to have prioritized list be the final list of CRs for 12.0

Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that Qwest could not provide LSOG 6 and 7 synergies until September.

Connie Winston (Qwest) said that OBF was not done with their LSOG definition and that the OBF forum schedule is it out of Qwest’s control. She indicated that until the OBF definition was completed, any analysis Qwest might do would not be meaningful.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) asked why Qwest did not do more Releases in order to meet the needs of LSOG 6.

Michael Buck (Qwest) stated again that in 2002 there were three Releases: February 9.0, June 10.0 and November 11.0. He indicated that the CRs in question were initiated on January 31, 2002 at which point IMA 9.0 and 10.0 were already significantly into their development life cycle. Therefore, the ability to have included these CRs in those releases was minimal.

Tom Dixon (WorldCom) asked why Qwest didn’t do 4 Releases. He expressed the WorldCom belief that Qwest controls the resources and is using that control to cut into the resources available to CLEC CRs. He expressed his desire to discuss this issue next week in redesign.

Jeff Thompson (Qwest) asked what Tom was objecting to. Qwest does not have unlimited resources and Qwest does not ignore CLEC CRs. He stated that part of the purpose of CMP was to provide procedures for managing finite resources. He indicated that all the CLECs agreed to this language that Qwest is following. He again indicated that redesign had already discussed this and the team agreed that no action needed to be taken. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked again if Qwest could get the decision-makers in the room.

Michael Buck (Qwest) said that Qwest came prepared to discuss the Exception Change Request that precipitated the current call. The decision makers for the options on the table in this call are here. He explained that the possibility was very low for getting on such short notice the multiple people necessary to discuss an exception that had not yet been formally created. He indicated that if another Exception Request is received, Qwest will follow the process to schedule the meeting and will come prepared to discuss whatever options are proposed.

Terry Wicks (Allegiance) asked what if an Exception CR was issued today could we discuss at the August 22, 2002 Systems Meeting.

Matt White (Qwest) stated that if Qwest received an Exception Request today, it could issue a notification to hold a vote during the Monthly CMP Systems Meeting on August 22, 2002.

Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if there were any more questions or comments. As there were no more questions or discussion, Michael Buck (Qwest) stated that he would ask each Company to vote Yes, No, or Abstain on whether SCR080502-01EX should be treated as an Exception. He reconfirmed that a “Yes” vote meant agreement to deviate from the process and that IMA 12.0 would be comprised of approximately 50% LSOG CRs and approximately 50% CLEC and Qwest originated CRs. A No vote would indicate the preference that IMA 12.0 be devoted entirely to LSOG candidates.

Following are the results of the vote: (Note: Votes are officially documented in the Vote Tally Form)

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. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that it appears that this was implemented for Central and Western files but not in Eastern region. [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. [Comment Received from Eschelon 1-28-05: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is usually made available to all media and stated that she would check if ASCII was affected and if so what happened in the Eastern region.] Jill Martain/Qwest stated that we would work with Eschelon off-line.

- December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR deployed on December 6th and will remain in CLEC Test for validation.

May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the possibility of establishing a new Status Code.

This CR will remain in CLEC Test

Meeting Discussion: Ellen McArthur provided the overview based on the document circulated with the meeting agenda.

There were no questions.

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is moderately passionate about this CR. Liz Balvin/MCI asked what was currently happening when these characters were used. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that they were causing rejects, especially when a virgule is used.

- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding IMA 14.0 Prioritization: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Jo Netherton/Qwest attended the last meeting and talked about how important this was. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that virgules should not ever be used. She stated that Qwest was supportive of this CR.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jo Netherton/Qwest asked the CLECs to review the CR and consider it for the 14.0 vote as it will help with flow through. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that if any CLECs consider to use the new rules, it would help with LSR accuracy. There were no questions or comments.

January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Shon Higer/Qwest stated that a hyphen in the PON is not a problem to allow and will not be restricted. Shon stated that a period in the PON does cause problems in the Central region and with the implementation of this CR, a period in the PON will not be allowed at all. Shon stated that the investigation is continueing to determine if other special characters are needed to be included in this effort. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this is an exhaustive list. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is still investigating if others need to be included. Shon Higer/Qwest stated that currently alpha/numeric characters and the hyphen are allowed in the PON. Kathleen Holtz/USLink asked if the hyphen can be used now. Shon Higer/Qwest stated that yes it is currently allowed and will continue to allow the hyphen in the PON.

December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Shon Higer/Qwest reviewed the description of the CR. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if Qwest wanted to have an upfront edit to reject based on these special characters. Shon Higer/Qwest said that it would be to identify and reject special characters in certain fields. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she wanted to make sure there is no work around necessary. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said maybe Qwest should take an action item to evaluate some CSRs to see if there are any other special characters that may need to be added. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said we were just commenting on a problem when a Qwest system incorporates special characters on CSRs and you have to put them on the LSR, they get rejected. You are adding an additional set of special characters. Shon Higer/Qwest said that the only special character Qwest was addressing was the virgule and that he would take an action item to do more follow up. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that would be great. Connie Winston/Qwest stated the only other one is INIT that does not have a comma. Shon Higer/Qwest stated that the other exception is the PON. Connie Winston/Qwest said that yes, that was the very top one. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that the CLEC Community would have to see additional support of this CR to consider it for prioritization. If there weren’t any special characters in any of the CSRs out there, then we would support this. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that Covad is very concerned about any new edits because of difficulty in the past when new edits have been introduced because of the rejects upfront. Therefore, I am concerned about our system being compatible. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that the intent was to improve flow through. The problem is the CLEC would not be able to get the LSR to you. We will have to put it into manual to get it to you because we pull the information from the CSR. IMA now rejects these special characters. Therefore, we then have to submit this to Qwest as a manual order. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that when we go back and do research, I see a potentially different issue with the &, in these cases there may be a situation where we are very clear with the rules, always put this here, instead of not getting to the right information. Therefore, we can look into an alternative on what could make sense. Connie Winston/Qwest said that I think you’d like the edit applied only to the CLEC data instead of the CSR data. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that the only caveat is that you are rejecting what Qwest is sending us. Judy Schultz/Qwest suggested Qwest take this offline as we had this discussion earlier. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the edits are logical in theory, there are processes out there for when these edits are imposed. When talking about implementing a CR with edits that you are certain that you don’t have manual processes that are impacted by these edits. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if this CR is proposing to prohibit everything but letters, including hyphens in the PON. Shon Higer/Qwest said that is correct. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that this would remain pending prioritization. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that the impression of the PON is whatever format we choose. We were under the impression that whatever was on the PON was acceptable. Ian Coleman/Allegiance stated that the only thing we are concerned about is the PON and the hyphen. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the CR reads that anything that is not a letter or number needs to be updated. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if you just say a hyphen would still be allowed. Shon Higer/Qwest said not as an edit. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked why because we use the hyphen quite regularly. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that will remain Pending Prioritization, there are some confused looks so we’ll have to do some more research. Connie Winston/Qwest said if this happens to make the release, we will work with the CLECs to get a definition that works, but if it doesn’t make it, we will take it back and work on the definition internally. Terry Bahner/AT&T asked if is this a comprehensive list, this is exactly what you are looking for. Shon Higer/Qwest said yes.

Description Of Change

The summary accounts only provide "New Charges" - there is no breakdown of the charges. The subaccounts show "monthly service charges" and "service additions & changes" along with a breakdown of one-time chrgs & fractional chrgs. We need all the subaccounts added up so we can have these totals at the summary level. We need to know what the total monthly charges are for the entire summary account along with a section that shows the other charges & credits (one time chrgs vs. fractional chrgs). Qwest bills the invoice at a summary level & that is how we pay it - detail needs to be provided. We need all the subaccounts to be added up to show the totals for the summary account. We can not pay the bill in it's current frmat because we have to manually add up every subaccount to see if it matches up with the summary - there are several hundreds of subaccounts for each summary. It takes days to fend through a $5K invoice - that is unexceptable! Examples: K-303-111-6222-507, J-520-111-2202-704, O-801-111-0201-103, 206-Z10-0450-212 (this account actually provides the total monthly charges in the "New Charges" section at the beginning of the bill - we still need a breakdown of the OC&C)

Molly,

I am sending you a status on the above Change Request (CR) because you were unable to attend the June CMP Systems Meeting that was held on June 20, 2002. During the meeting, Qwest presented SCR053002-03 on your behalf to the CLEC Community. This allows the participating CLECs the opportunity to comment on the CR and to request subsequent clarifications. The CLECs did not request further clarification or modifications to your change request.

The CLEC Community was in agreement that Qwest work off-line with Sprint to close this CR. I have attached a copy of your change request that includes Qwest's response. Once you have had an opportunity to review the response, please feel free to call me. I can schedule a meeting to discuss any questions you may have regarding the response and/or the next step of the CMP Process.

(See attached file: SCR053002-03.rtf)6/26/02 6/20/02 Systems CMP Meeting Sprint was not present at the meeting to present the CR. Lynn Stecklein (Qwest) reviewed this CR. Jeff Thompson (Qwest) indicated that Qwest currently provides an option for customers to receive a free electronic version of their monthly bill. The Qwest position is that Qwest believes this functionality is already being provided to the CLECs. Lynn Stecklein (Qwest) indicated that Sprint noted that they do not have the ability to receive this data electronically, but she agreed that this CR should be closed. Michael Buck (Qwest) asked if everyone was ok if Qwest works with Sprint off-line to close this CR. Sharon Van Meter (AT&T) replied that Carla was out of the room, and she is the AT&T billing person. She indicated that she would like to re-visit this when Carla gets back. When she returned, Carla Pardee (AT&T) did not object to working offline to close the CR with Sprint. Michael Buck (Qwest) explained that Qwest would discuss this further with Sprint off-line. The status will be updated to ‘Presented’.

Re: SCR053002-03 Visibility to total monthly charges & other charges & credits for summary accounts

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR052202-03). Additionally, Qwest conducted a Clarification Meeting (held June 10, 2002) to gain further understanding of the request.

Based upon Qwest’s understanding of the Change Request, Qwest believes that currently available solutions would eliminate the need to add up manually every subaccount to determine if it matches to the summary bill.

Qwest currently provides an option for customers to receive a free electronic version of their monthly bill that helps them to arrange their bill in a way that suits the needs of their business. The electronic version can be used to review the bill for unusual changes in monthly activity and as a means to avoid re-keying of data from the paper bill for the purposes of verifying order activity. Use of the electronic version of the bill eliminates costly data entry from the paper bill to other tracking processes.

Qwest provides the electronic version via EDI, diskette, CD-ROM, and the Internet.

Additionally, Qwest has planned updates in development that may be of interest. During the 3rd quarter of 2002 Qwest plans to upgrade a portion of the Wholesale Billing Interfaces to provide an improved electronic bill. In addition to the solution currently in place, this upgrade may also address the concerns raised in Change Request SCR053002-03.

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 may be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request.

Sincerely,

Jeff Thompson Qwest, Information Technologies

1/14/03 CMP Systems Meeting Hi Jody,

This e-mail is to follow up our discussion today on SCR052202-01X (Scheduled cut times for Resale and UNE-P DID's moving from one trunk to another (Cross-over CR PC052202-1X).

This CR was discussed in the last CMP Systems Meeting and it was agreed that I would contact you off line to determine if U S Link would be agreeable to close the above CR. The CR has been in 'CLEC Test" for 2 months.

Per our discussion today, U S Link was agreeable to close this CR with the understanding that if they were to encounter any problems with the functionality they could contact Qwest.

If you do encounter any problems with this CR, please feel free to contact me at the information below.

Thanks,

Lynn Stecklein CRPM - Systems 303 382-5770 Lynn.Stecklein@qwest.com

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Jen Arnold/USLink said that she will send an e-mail regarding closure of this CR.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: This enhancement will allow IMA EDI and GUI to use the DFDT and CHC fields for the ACT types N, V, Z, C, and T for the following products: DID In-Only Trunks, Designed Trunks Resale, UNE-PBX DID In-Only Trunk, UNE-P PBX Designed Trunk, and UNE-P DSS Trunk.

CHC will be optional for these ACT TYPES, and DFDT will be conditional, with the condition being that if CHC is populated, DFDT must be populated.)

Products: DID In-Only Trunks, Designed Trunks Resale, UNE-PBX DID In-Only Trunk, UNE-P PBX Designed Trunk, UNE-P DSS Trunk.

Forms Impacted: LSR

Field Impacts: DFDT and CHC.

ACTs: N/A

NOTE: The use of DFDT will enable the CLEC to control the timing of the translations, for example, disconnection of trunks, moving DID station numbers from one route index to another, etc. To schedule a coordinated hot cut, the CLEC will have to negotiate with their Qwest Service Manager, as well as using the CHC field.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- 7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting

SCR052202-01X Scheduled cut times for Resale and UNE-P DID's moving from one trunk to another (Cross-over CR PC052202-1X) (USLink) Michael Buck/Qwest stated that this CR was discussed in the Product and Process Meeting yesterday. He asked if anyone had any questions. There were no questions. This CR has an LOE provided in the response and is eligible for the 12.0 vote.

UBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR # PC052202-1 Getting scheduled cut times for Resale and UNE-P DID’s moving from one trunk to another

Dear Ms. Thompson:

The following proposal is in response to your Customer Request, CR PC052202-1. In your CR, you explained that “[when porting Resale or UNE-P DID’s [Direct Inward Dial Numbers] over to new T1 and Trunks the customers vendor needs to be on site and we [USLink] are not given a time when these DID’s will be cutting over. This causes inconveniences and extra charges of the customer. Currently customer is having to keep vendor at location all day waiting for cut to happen.”

Qwest’s current mechanized process allows simple line translations changes to be delivered to the switch and worked without manual intervention using switch-specific default Frame Due Times (FDTs). For most DID order activity, Qwest believes that the default FDTs should meet the needs of the CLEC community.

To enable CLECs to request specific translations and/or switch work timeframes, Qwest proposes to open the Desired Frame Due Time (DFDT) field on LSRs for UNE-P DSS and UNE-P ISDN-BRI and PRI when ordered with DID trunks and Resale ISDN-BRI and PRI .

Because enabling the DFDT field in IMA will require IT development and implementation, Qwest has created cross-over CR SCR052202-1X on behalf of USLink. This IMA CR is eligible for CMP prioritization in IMA 12.0. The IMA 12.0 prioritization process will take place immediately following the July Monthly Systems CMP Meeting. All prioritization eligible CRs will be reviewed and discussed at the July Monthly Systems CMP Meeting to be held on July 18, 2002.

Currently, while in most instances the translations work will be initiated within a two-hour window of the DFDT, the following situations may delay translation activity: * Another large project is underway. *Many separate orders are contending for the same FDT in a switch. *Qwest translation system or the switch itself is experiencing an outage or technical difficulty . For example, if the link from the MARCH system, the system that holds the order information until FDT and then downloads it to the switch, were to go down, orders could not be completed until the problem is fixed. * MARCH system maintenance window is being employed. In all these instances, RCMAC would also be "locked out" and even manually-handled order processing could be delayed for more than two hours.

In order to maximize the potential for UNE-P and Resale DID orders to be processed as requested, a new process will be put into place. For all UNE-P and Resale DID orders requesting a DFDT, the SDC will contact the RCMAC manager to verify that the requested FDT is available.

To minimize the possibility of switch contention and order delays, Qwest recommends that CLECs populate the DFDT field only when translations activity must be performed within a specific timeframe.

The next step to go forward with this proposal will be for the CLEC community to vote for or against supporting this proposal at the CMP meeting and, if in support, prioritize the IT development.

Qwest looks forward to working with you further on this project.

Sincerely,

Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Attendees introduced.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Description: The following is extracted from the CR submitted by USLink: Example: When porting Resale or UNE-P DID's over to new T1 and Trunks the customers vendor needs to be on site and we are not given a time when these DID's will be cutting over. This causes inconveniences and extra charges for the customer. Currently customer is having to keep vendor at location all day waiting for cut to happen.

The following points were discussed during the clarification call: 1) New DIDs are not an issue 2) USLink stated problem is associated with Qwest identifying only the day the translations will be made and not a smaller time window (they are requesting a two hour window). USLink does not know the translations have been completed until a disconnect recording is heard. This problem is associated the following scenarios: a) Porting DIDs to another CLEC (LNP) b) Moving all DIDs from analog to new digital facilities c) Moving Non sequential DIDs from analog to digital facilities

Confirm Right Personnel Qwest confirmed the correct personnel were on the call.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation USLink expects a two hour window for cut times.

Project Meetings

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

September 19, 2002 September Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that is currently in definition phase. Wanted to bring to CMP how defining. Implementation will be in post-order functionality and was fine with the originating CLEC (USLink). Wants to make sure that was okay with everyone else. There was no dissent to post-order functionality.

August 28, 2002 Email from Kim Sattler/USLink to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest: Peggy, Per our conference call today re:SCR040302-01 View 1000 circuits within IMA, I would like to confirm that Qwest's Post-Order alternative is acceptable to USLink. Thank you for all of your assistance with this request:. Kimberlee Sattler US Link 911 Provisioning Specialist Phone: 218-568-2638 Fax: 218-568-2636 Kim.Sattler@uslink.com

Post-order would be easier, quicker, and it would look the same as it would in pre-order. Kim Sattler/USLink asked if she would still be able to email information and print it? Conrad Evans/Qwest - yes. Kim Sattler/USLink accepted the Qwest proposal to provide requested functionality in post-order instead of in pre-order. She will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel-Reed with her acceptance. Kim Sattler/USLink asked for the implementation date. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this candidate was voted #6 in the 12.0 vote. 12.0 deployment will be April 2003. If this candidate does not get packaged into 12.0, it will be included for voting into the 13.0 Release, which is scheduled for August 2003. Kim Sattler/USLink - ok. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest will create an action item in the CR so the change could be communicated to the CLEC Community at the September Systems CMP Meeting.

August 28, 2002 - Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest sent email to Kim Sattler/USLink with information provided by Conrad Evans/Qwest: Peggy, Attached is a screen shot of the IMA GUI. On the IMA GUI there is a pull down menu for post order. We would add view 1000 CFA's to this list. The answer to your second question about what would the CFA screen would look like? It would look the same as it does in pre-order. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you, Conrad

August 28, 2002 - Kim Sattler/USLink asked Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest for additional information prior to today's call. Asked where the information would be located and would it look the same as it would in post-order. Peggy agreed to get info and provide prior to the call.

Description Of Change

Whenever a REQTYP=JB (Dir Listing) order is issued via Qwest IMA EDI, and the order partially errors (i.e. one or more listings on a complex order), an 855 is issued to the CLEC which provides notification that this PON is final. The mandated outcome is that the user must issue additional PONs to correct the remaining (errored) listings on the order.The entire order should be worked prior to receiving a confirmation. Changes and/or supplements should be allowed to correct errors on the order until it is ENTIRELY complete. This process would be similar to what is done for an LSR Product order such as REQTYP=E, A, etc.

Alan,

This is to provide a status on SCR041802-01 (Partial Confirmation of Standalone Directory Listing) that is currently in CLEC Test. During the January CMP Systems Meeting, the CLEC Community stated that the functionality of this CR had been tested and suggested that this CR be closed. Please let me know if you have any questions associated with this update.

Thanks,

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Stephanie Prull/Eschelon said that she would like this CR to remain open.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Currently confirmation completion reports from Facilities Based Directory Listings (FBDL) are sent as faxes to the CLEC for GUI and as the secondary notification for EDI users (for EDI CLECs, initial confirmation is received via the DSRED 855 transaction). The current process of faxing AC responses back via the confirmation completion report is inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. We would like to see automation of this process so that IMA common responds back via individual electronic responses at the CCNA Purchase Order Number (PON) level on all orders with a status of Confirmation (AT), Accepted with Change (AC), Acknowledged with Detail No Change (AD) or Rejected (RF). This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information. CLECs would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders with a status of AC. This will streamline processes for the CLECs and Qwest allowing for better resolution of the FBDL responses that currently come via the fax (for orders with a status of AC). This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products.

IMA will automate the process for both EDI and GUI users and will provide an electronic response back to the CLEC at the PON/LSR level for each FBDL request. Additionally, IMA will be modified so that when a PON/LSR is returned with a status of AT, AC or AD, the PON/LSR will be completed within IMA. However, when a PON/LSR is returned with an initial status of RF, the PON/LSR will remain in a pending status for 10 calendar days so that the CLEC will have the opportunity to correct errors. If the LSR is not corrected within the 10-calendar day timeframe, IMA will cancel the request. If the CLEC attempts to resend/resubmit the request after the 10 calendar day timeframe, IMA will notify them of the cancellation.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- September 12, 2003 Email Received From Alan Flanigan/Time Warner: Subject: SCR012003-02 IMA GUI CR Per our conversation, this CR is being resolved under the auspices of the another issue that will be worked in IMA Common rel v14.0. It can be considered as closed. Thanks. Alan Flanigan Time Warner Telecom Senior Business Analyst

- September 12, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) stated the purpose of the call is to discuss the synergies of 5 CMP CR’s. Peggy stated that the 5 CR’s have synergies and would carry the same status as SCR103102-01. Peggy noted the 5 CR’s:

SCR103102-01 Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL responses, originated by McLeod. This CR is committed in the 14.0 Release

SCR012003-01 FBDL Errors after Order Completes. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR.

SCR041802-01 Partial Confirmation of Standalone Directory Listings. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR041703-02 Individual responses for FBDL, originated by McLeod. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR012003-02 IMA GUI Ability to Template Completed/Closed Orders. Peggy stated that this functionality will be delivered with 14.0 and asked Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) if he would agree to withdraw this CR, based on the functionality being delivered in 14.0.

Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) agreed to withdraw SCR012003-02. Alan will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with SCR103102-01.

5/16/02 Systems CMP meeting Alan Flanigan/Time Warner Telecom presented this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that there was a CR submitted about a year ago requesting that the entire order be worked prior to receiving a confirmation. A couple of CLECs were not happy with the idea of having to back out the rejects. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this requires a huge amount of work. Sometimes when we ask for an LSR to be re-submitted, it takes days to get it back. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner Telecom said it seems like it would be helpful to move the edits up further in the process. Connie Winston/Qwest said we have made several changes to improve the accuracy for stand-alone listings, this includes additional edits in IMA. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if there was another solution. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner Telecom said that they would have to do a lot of research to define why the errors are occurring and would be an audit tracking issue. Terri Wicks/Allegiance said that if the change is a change for all CLECs, can we design it where there’s an option to back it out, or is it going to be black & white? Can you submit just the partial? Can we have an option? Michael Buck/Qwest asked if they would know in advance if there were errors. Connie Winston/Qwest said we could look at options that may allow supps to correct the LSR for the listings that error’d. If we were to offer partial or full reject capability, it would have to be in the CLECs profile (partial or rejects). Connie Winston/Qwest said that it would be less complicated not to have to back out updated listings when an error condition was hit. We did not look at whether or not to accept a Supp when we provided the LOE, a new LOE will be provided. In 10.0, Qwest has implemented the ability to submit standalone listings on an unbundled loop LSR. Terri Wicks/Allegiance said that because this has to be voted on and, if there is not an option for the other CLECs, this would probably not be voted very high. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest is going to follow the same path as Resale with the implementation of the listing on the unbundled loop LSR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we would review the LOE before we vote in July. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if any other CLECs wished to comment. There were no other comments.

4/23/02 - Clarification Meeting Attendees -Alan Flanigan - Time Warner Telecom, Mark Early - Qwest, J J Bradley - Qwest, Gerry Mohatt - Qwest The purpose of this meeting was to clarify the request submitted by Time Warner Telecom. The description of change was reviewed. Alan Flanigan stated that they submit a FBDL EDI request for Directory Listings. They currently use Standalone for Directory Listings. JJ Bradley asked if Time Warner Telecom wanted to see the 855 if the order was not complete. Alan said that they don't want to see the 855 until the entire order is complete. They find it very difficult to track if they submit an order with 10 listings and 5 listings error. They want the PON to work end to end.. They want the same concept as with the LSR process. Alan wanted to know if he should expand the change request to include the combined order (Directory Listings and the LSR). Gerry Mohatt said that he can provide documentation of efforts already underway. He will forward to Lynn and Lynn will provide to Alan. Alan was advised that this would be presented in the May CMP Systems meeting and may be an eligible 12.0 candidate.

Project Meetings

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting This CR has been denied.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest that the initial view from the Triennial Order indicates that Qwest would not be entertaining this CR in the future. John Berard/Covad said that their interpretation is that for at least for the next 2 1/2 to 3 years that Line Sharing has been grandfathered. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is Qwest's position that this CR not be eligible for the vote. Connie stated that an off-line call would be scheduled to discuss further. This action item will remain open until a call is scheduled.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting John Berard/Covad asked where the SCR010202-02X Shared loop on resold lines was located in the package. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that in the August Systems CMP meeting, the decision was made to change the status of the CR to deferred. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that part of the discussion last month was the timing of the Triennial Review (TRO). Lynn said that she would like to take an action item to go back and review the TRO to see where this CR fits timing wise and in terms of Qwest having to file testimony. Lynn said this would help in determining whether it makes send to bring this CR forward in October.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/MCI said that MCI disagrees with this denial as it was based on the Triennial Review that has not come out. She also said that she did not think that a CR could be denied on a review that is not yet available. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest would agree to allow the CR to remain in the vote pending review of the Triennial Review. Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed the following excerpt noted on the CR from the meeting minutes dated 7/17/03: ‘Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated the Qwest does not intend to offer this Product. Cindy also stated that the high level overview of the Triennial Review indicated that ILECs will not be required to provide access to the High Frequency portion of the loop, thus potentially phasing out all shared services.’ Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that everyone is waiting on rules around the things we will have to implement. The next step will be the individual state proceedings and then the orders will be applied. Lynn noted that she also thought nothing will be resolved in a timeframe that will work for the 15.0 development team considering where they would be in the lifecycle of the candidate for the 15.0 release before a true decision could be made. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that this is a product currently available today. Jim Maher/Qwest said that the product is not available today. Liz Balvin/MCI said that Qwest denied the request as economically not feasible. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she thought basing responses on press releases is not beneficial to anyone. Bonnie asked if this CR could be moved to deferred and to Lynn’s point maybe by the time the review comes out, we can determine which way we need to proceed. Bonnie also said that the CLEC Community does not feel that it is appropriate to deny based on an order that has not even come out yet. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest said that once the Triennial Review came out, she would be willing to reconsider the direction we have taken on this request based on the outcome of the review. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could lose another 6 months if we went that route. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that from ITs perspective that they agree with the idea of placing the CR into a deferred status as IT does not believe that the CR should be eligible for the vote. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she thought moving this CR to deferred is a good solution. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she agreed with the deferred status. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR would be moved to deferred.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest provided the history and background associated with this change request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we did validate the LOE and determined that the LOE did not change. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated that Qwest does not intend to offer this Product. Cindy also stated that the high level overview of the Triennial Review indicates that ILECs will not be required to provide access to the High Frequency portion of the loop, thus potentially phasing out all shared services. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated that Qwest will be denying this request. John Berard/Covad stated that they have a different understanding of the Triennial Review and that the line-share will be around for at least three more years. Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if Twin Rivers withdrew this CR, could another CLEC sponsor. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated that there is no product to offer and this CR would be denied. AT&T stated that they would like this CR to remain open until the Triennial Review Connie Winston/Qwest said that we could change the status to a Hold/Deferred Status. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest should formally deny so that we can understand in writing why Qwest is denying this CR. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Qwest will move forward with the formal denial on this CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she concurs with the denial.

3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Qwest held created an action item to discuss SCR010202-02X with Twin Rivers. Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers stated that he could not provide DSL to his customers and that he has to refer them to go back to Qwest and they end up getting 3 months free. He said that he wants to split and put DSL on the line and said that he already has some customers with that arrangement. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this is the shared loop on resale line issue. There is an open system CR but you cannot support manually. Brett Fesler/Qwest stated that we cannot support manually and that there is an issue with the billing and IMA system. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon questioned why that would not allow him to do business. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated Twin Rivers is asking for data over resold lines. The high bandwidth is not Qwest’s to sell. The RSID account belongs to the CLEC and the ZCID belongs to the DLEC. Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers asked how Qwest was billing them today and stated that he has audited these circuits and Qwest is billing. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated that she was not sure but believed that the circuit is not be provisioned in the factor that is being requested in this CR.. Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers said that he just wanted to put DSL on the Resale line. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest said that Qwest does not have the ability to do a separate data over voice on Resale. Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers asked if he owned both pieces then why couldn’t Qwest provide a manual work-around Qwest had asked the team in the past to find out the forecast and the need from the CLEC community for this. This CR went through prioritization and was not ranked high. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest added that at that time, it was presumed that the CR would be closed. Thru the re-design effort, the CR stayed in effect for re-prioritization for each release. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the reseller is not a CLEC and with UNE-P you have a LOA and have a customer of record. Brett Fesler/Qwest suggested that Twin Rivers could go with UNE-P. Over UNE-P Qwest can provide data, that is the Line Sharing Product. Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers said he could but would be billed by the minute instead of the flat rate and was told by my Service Manager that the overall cost would be higher. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest stated that the rate structure is different. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she did not think that the CLEC is billed by minutes for use of the voice circuit and that the minutes of use would be for the billing of their customers. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest will research and rejoin the call. Brett Fesler/Qwest stated that he contacted the Product Manager and found that it is usage sensitive, but that it’s still a lower rate than the reseller price. Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers said that it is not what they were told. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we could take this discussion offline and work with the product manager and service manager. Kit Thomte/Qwest agreed and that we would initiate an action item that the internal discussion takes place and the service manager will get back to Twin Rivers. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked what would the system CR would do. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest re-explained that the CR was moved to systems for the prioritization process only. Qwest has not moved in the direction of determining how to provide Data over a Resold circuit. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if the RSID would ever be used again. Cindy Buckmaster/Qwest said that the system analysis was done separate from the product analysis. Connie Winston/Qwest stated we were waiting for the product definition on the system side and if we move forward it would probably have a separate definition and would need to be re-LOE’d. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this would this be on the 14.0 list. This CR will remain on the 14.0 Prioritization.

7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting SCR010202-02X Shared loop on resold lines. (Cross-over CR PC010202-2X) (Originated by Twin Rivers Valley Telephone) Michael Buck/Qwest stated that this cross-over CR was discussed yesterday in the Product/Process Meeting and will be included in the 12.0 vote. The Product/Process CR will be closed. Mike Zulevic/Covad asked for a recap of the CR. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed the CR. Upon researching, IMA needs updating to support this request. Qwest wanted to understand volumes and Qwest did not receive volume estimates. We know that there is a system change and that why this is treated as a crossover CR. Mike Zulevic/Covad expressed interest in this CR. The LOE is provided in the CR response and is eligible for the 12.0 vote. 7/18/02 CMP Systems Meeting Kirk Hundertmark/Twin Rivers Valley Telephone discussed this CR (Also see discussion and notes in Attachment E Crossovers). An action item has been opened to work with Twin Rivers Valley Telephone to understand all issues and concerns associated with this CR. Kirk Hundertmark requested that this CR to be a high priority.

QWEST RESPONSE For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the March CMP Meeting

Kirk Hundertmark Twin Rivers Valley Telephone

SUBJECT:Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR #SCR010202-02X

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request SCR010202-02X. This CR is a request from Twin Rivers Valley Telephone to provide CLEC DSL over a resold loop.

Qwest had investigated the original CR in the winter/spring of 2002. As a result of Qwest’s investigation and the current environment, Qwest would supply the following information:

There is not currently a product in the Line Sharing product line that affords this capability Related products in the Line Sharing product line do not recover our costs, as many state rates are set at $0

Due to the fact that Qwest does not recover cost on these products, Qwest is unwilling to further develop this product line. As a result, Qwest respectfully denies this change request as economically not feasible.

Sincerely,

Cindy Buckmaster Manager - Product Management

Description Of Change

WorldCom requests that Qwest develop a single order process to allow CLEC to CLEC migrations to be completed as specified. The process should not require information on the losing CLEC. The winning CLEC will simply provide an LSR for the migration, showing only the end state of the customer account. Currently the only migration option offered is "migrate as is".This requires the winning CLEC to migrate the customer as is with their first order and then to issue a second order to change the customer's features to those offered by the winning CLEC. The current process inhibits customer migrations if the winning CLEC does not offer the exact same features that the losing CLEC or Qwest has.

Monica and Bret responded that 2 LSRs are not required for Activity Types of Z or V. Sherry asked when a customer is with CLEC B and CLEC A uses IMA pre-order to do a pending order CSR retrievel, can CLEC B CSR be viewed? Bret responded yes, if has authorization. Sherry asked if they can see everything, are all fields populated or is CSR blank? Bret responded can see all normal CSR information. Will not be able to see proprietoary information. Monica advised that if certain features are not avaiable they are not shown. What is shown is all applicable features. Monica advised that if the CSR is blank, there is a problem and concerns her. Sherry stated that a blank CSR would then be a different issue. Sherry stated that Worlcom's request is just as Z-Tel's request. Monica agreed except that Worldcom's is also CLEC to CLEC migration and Z-Tel's request did not specify that. Sherry asked if it would be easier to revise Z-Tel CR and do on one request. Peggy Esquibel-Reed asked Worldcom to keep in mind that these requests are IMA and would be votable candidates. Peggy advised that Z-Tel would need to send in a revised CR to include CLEC to CLEC migration. Peggy Asked Leilani if Z-Tel's request is revised to include CLEC to CLEC migration, can Qwest change the status of SCR062402-02 to pending withdrawal. LeiLani said yes.

Description Of Change

Associated CR#: SCR080502-01EX

Exception request details

Requestor: WorldCom, Inc.

Description of request with good cause for seeking an exception:

Qwest hosted a meeting on August 14th and requested that a vote be cast by Parties to determine how to deal with LSOG 6 upgrades.  Per Qwest notification, a vote of "yes" would "indicate a preference that IMA 12.0 be comprised of approximately 50% Industry Guideline CRs and

approximately 50% CLEC and Qwest originated CRs.  A vote of "No" will indicate a preference to follow the existing CMP as described in Section 10.2.2 ofthe Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document,http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html."

WCom presented the following option:  That the 12.0 prioritization

stand and Qwest implement CRs accordingly.

Qwest stated this could not be an option for today's call because no formal CR was presented for consideration.  Thus,this exception CR has been generated.

Per Qwest's notification "Qwest cautions that if this request is

granted Qwest will not be able to achieve full LSOG compliance for an indeterminate period of time."  WCom would like it noted that on the 8/14/01 call, Qwest stated that even if 12.0 was devoted 100% to LSOG 6 CRs, not all LSOG 6 CRs would be implemented, thus Qwest would continue

to not be able to achieve full LSOG 6 compliance by the recommended implementation date of 3/14/03.

WCom reluctantly voted "yes" and objected to Qwest's interpretation of the language in Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, Section 10.2.2, which states, "If the recommended implementation date for aIndustry Guideline CR requires all or a part of a change to be included in

the upcoming Major Release, the CR will not be subject to ranking and will be automatically included in that Major Release, unless Qwest and theCLECs unanimously agree otherwise." The language as it stands would call for Qwest to be LSOG 6 compliant by 3/14/03, a requirement in the Section

10.2.2 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document that Qwest has ignored by giving the CLEC's its two options.  A "no" vote stated that it would indicate a preference to follow the existing CMP as described in Section 10.2.2 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document.  In

reality a "no" vote was to indicate a preference to allow Qwest to

implement only a a portion of LSOG 6, based on the level of effort

assigned to LSOG 6 changes versus the the hours and resources available for Release 12.0 as unilaterally determined by Qwest, which, in fact,is not in compliance with Section 10.2.2 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document.

That aside, the fact is that 12.0 has been prioritized.  The results

support the fact that CLECs care about their CRs as does a vote of a 50/50split, given the dilemma in which CLECs have been placed - either accept a

50/50 split or get part of LSOG 6 notwithstanding the fact that  Qwest is required to implement all LSOG 6 changes by 3/14/03 under Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document.

Therefore, WCom requests and Emergency Call/Meeting, pursuant to Section 16.2, prior to the next Monthly CMP Meeting.

A "yes" vote would allow the 12.0 prioritization results stand and

Qwest implement accordingly and a "no" vote would result in Qwest working 50%LSOG CRs and 50% CLEC and Qwest originated CRs.

Michael Buck / Qwest began the discussion pointing to the IMA 12.0 Initial Prioritization List produced and distributed following the balloting from the July Monthly Systems CMP Meeting. There were no questions on the Initial Prioritization List. Michael Buck / Qwest then reviewed SCR080502-01EX, an exception that Qwest initiated. The purpose of the Qwest exception request was to seek clarity on the path for IMA 12.0. As noted at the July Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants expressed concern that sticking with the CMP process would result in IMA 12.0 being filled completely with LSOG candidates. In SCR080502-01EX Qwest proposed an alternative a 50/50 split of resources between LSOG CRs and CLEC/Qwest initiated CRs. At the exception meeting these two options were considered and the 50 / 50 split option was unanimously chosen. However, at that meeting WorldCom expressed an interest in pursuing another alternative. As a result, WorldCom initiated the exception request that includes two options for consideration today. There were no questions. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed the quorum process. The quantity of carriers present at the last 6 days of Monthly Meetings (Product/Process and Systems) is gathered. The low and the high number is dropped. The remaining four numbers are averaged. The result is multiplied by 62.5% resulting in seven (7) as the quantity of carriers required to constitute a quorum. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed all of the carriers at the meeting. There were eleven (11) carriers present so it was agreed that a quorum was established. He then asked WorldCom to review their exception request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom reiterated that this issue has been discussed in multiple forums. As discussed in re-design, WorldCom believes that the language requires Qwest to implement 100% of LSOG by the time required. However, doing so would mean that LSOG would take all of IMA 12 and 13. Such an approach doesn’t sit right because we feel that we’ve been waiting long and hard to get our CRs implemented. She noted that Qwest CRs were automatically implemented prior to the IMA 10.0 release. We are looking to get some of our CRs in. We would like to see this as an exception to the rule. We believe that Qwest needs to be LSOG compliant also. We believe that the prioritization has already taken place and that should stand. Jeff Thompson/Qwest sought to clarify WorldCom’s position. He indicated that WorldCom seemed to be saying that Qwest should be LSOG compliant while at the same time Qwest should not devote any resources to LSOG in IMA 12.0 unless we get to where LSOG CRs fall in the prioritized list. Liz Balvin/WorldCom expressed the point of view that the language was crafted after IMA 11.0 was prioritized. As a result, that backed us all up against the wall regarding LSOG – it all goes in IMA 12. WorldCom feels like we should stay with prioritization so that we can get some of our CRs. WorldCom would like there to be another way to get LSOG compliant without bumping CLEC CRS. Based on WorldCom’s analysis it appears that it could take until 2006 until all current CRs are implemented. And that doesn’t include LSOG 7 or any new CRs. We would like Qwest to be LSOG compliant, but we have many old CRs that have been sitting out there and it is impacting our business. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Qwest recognizes WorldCom’s concerns. Qwest believes there are some actions that all CMP participants can take to make the situation better. One is for all of us who have OBF representatives to communicate to OBF that these large, frequent LSOG releases are impacting us all in this way. Qwest welcomes other suggestions for how to solve the problem because the LSOG releases are affecting us all. Regarding WorldCom’s position, Qwest is very concerned that if we do the CRs as they are currently prioritized we might never get caught up with LSOG. Failing to move forward on LSOG now might cause Qwest to continually fall behind. Qwest wants to make sure that all participants understand what the trade off is. If we go forward with this, certainly Qwest will not be able to be LSOG compliant. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that even if we devote all of 12.0 WorldCom believes Qwest still won’t be LSOG compliant. But these issues will still come up going forward. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that part of the WorldCom position is that IMA should be LSOG compliant but that the age and size of the CR backlog means that CLEC CRs need to be addressed now. WorldCom also expresses concern that business is being hurt because of old CRs that remain unworked. He stated that he was not sure if WorldCom’s position lines up with the data. Of the top 30 prioritized CRs, only 4 are older than January 2002. And those four are all Qwest CRs. So the idea of CLECs being hurt when the top CRs are new issues doesn’t seem to fit. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if during the prior re-design discussion of this topic was there any discussion on how 13.0 would be treated. Judy Schultz/Qwest indicated that re-design attendees did not address that; we were just brainstorming ideas. Terry Wicks/Allegiance expressed his view that from what he’s hearing, it sounds like if we accept WorldCom’s exception request then IMA 13.0 will be totally above the line candidates. Depending on synergies, it will probably all be LSOG upgrades, which is how he thought IMA 12.0 should have been. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that was a critical issue. WorldCom also believes that Qwest doesn’t mean all LSOG when they say ‘above the line.’ Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that he understood that and that the concern would need to be dealt with. But based on where we are today, IMA 13.0 is looking to be all LSOG, that’s what I’m predicting realistically. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T also sees this as a chronic problem. Because there are my CRs, your CRs, LSOG CRs. I don’t know how to get total compliance. Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that Allegiance deals with all the other LECs, and when LSOG comes out they do it at one time, not piece meal and then they are compliant. Qwest is the only one that implements piecemeal. Jeff Thompson/Qwest responded that it was important to understand the use of the word compliant. One could take the position that once you do the foundation candidates you are compliant. All the forms now work with the standard format, etc. I’m not saying that other ILECs claim that, I don't know, but there are multiple ways of getting to compliance. Qwest will claim compliance when the ones applicable to Qwest are completed. Other ILECs may have a shorter list or longer list of issues that apply to their business. My understanding is that other ILECs do devote a full release to LSOG. Qwest did one release in past where an entire release was devoted to LSOG. Terry Wicks/Allegiance expressed thanks for that information. I don’t know what they are considering to be compliant I just know the trend has been that they do it all at once. Judy Schultz/Qwest indicated that there was not certainty that all of IMA 13.0 would be devoted to LSOG. If we follow existing Change Management Processes to the letter then quite possibly 13.0 would be entirely LSOG. But the caveat is that the CMP community could agree to something different. To my knowledge LSOG 6 was a monster, unlike anything we’d ever seen in terms of size and quantity of issues. Apparently, LSOG 7 could be just as large. So for starters we all need to try and stop the problem at the source we’ve got all of that to consider. What we all have to consider with this vote, is that if the exception is approved, at best, it will put Qwest even further behind in implementing LSOG. The CMP community needs to come up with further ideas on how to deal with this. Gary Veik (Qwest’s OBF representative) is at OBF trying to put Qwest’s point of view on the table. But he is just one voice in the forum. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if September is still the date OBF has given for providing more information on LSOG 7? Connie Winston/Qwest said for definition, yes. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if we will have time to do analysis before IMA 13.0? Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that Qwest should be able to provide some analysis in October. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon indicated that when Liz Balvin/WorldCom threw those numbers out she was astonished. When we had the vote last week on the previous exception request, Eschelon opted to abstain because of the 2 options on the table, our interpretation indicated LSOG would go above the line. But there was no stipulation to that up to the assigned amount of hours. I would have felt differently if I felt that 12.0 would be all LSOG and it all LSOG would have been done with that release. That’s why I abstained. Byron Dowding/Alltel asked if there was a list of what would be in the 50/50? Liz Balvin/WorldCom said if you look at the prioritization form, my quick view of the results, we will definitely get to #9 as the results for 12.0 prioritized list. Byron Dowding/Alltel asked how can he vote on something that he doesn’t see. Judy Schultz/Qwest indicated that he could look at the LOE on the 12.0 prioritization list. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated her analysis shows that the 50/50 approach will provide maybe 3 LSOG candidates. Byron Dowding/Alltel said he would like to see the options. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that this is not a packaging discussion. The goal of today’s discussion and vote is not to select which CRs to implement but rather which process to follow. Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that 12.0 Initial Prioritization List ranks everything the way the CLECs voted. If you take the first 5 on the list, those CRs are the most likely candidates for the 50% of the release devoted to prioritization. Then, the first 3 LSOGs on the list would be the 50% of the release for the LSOG part. That estimate is based on taking the highest level of efforts. Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that if something went wrong during definition, design and there was a mistake then the results might be different. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that Qwest also looks during the packaging phase for other CRs that could be implemented easily. Jeff Thompson/Qwest confirmed this. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest resources are working on this right now? They are not waiting for the results of this vote? Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that they are experiencing churn at this time, but yes they are working. Terry Wicks/Allegiance noted that if the exception is agreed to instead of the 50/50, then CRs 1 through 12 on the list would most likely go into IMA 12.0. So you can compare those to see what you will get for your vote. He noted that with this approach more CLEC/Qwest CRS would get in, but fewer LSOG CRs. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Terry Wicks/Allegiance has sliced & diced this list thank you for that. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked Qwest to vote first. Judy Schultz/Qwest reiterated that if the vote is yes, in favor of the exception, that it is with the express approval of everyone that Qwest will not be LSOG compliant, Qwest will vote yes. SBC abstain AllTel yes AT&T yes NC Telecom yes US Link yes Eschelon yes Covad yes WorldCom yes Allegiance yes Integra yes NOTE: The voting results are also captured in the CLEC-Qwest Voting Tally Form for SCR081402-01EX. Michael Buck/Qwest with unanimity the WorldCom CR is agreed to and that will dictate how Qwest will move forward with the definition of CRs for IMA release 12.0. Mike Zulevic/Covad said that the real issue that we need to address in re-design is the resource issue. The thing that makes it difficult for me is not knowing what the resources will be going forward, and I understand that Qwest has resources issues like the rest of us, but we need to address what we’ll have going forward. Liz Balvin/WorldCom voiced the concern that the resource allocation is 100% in Qwest’s court and that’s one of the obstacles that we have to overcome.

August 22, 2002 Exception CR Emergency Call/Meeting meeting minutes

The meeting began at 10:30 a.m. MT. The meeting took place as an agenda item during the August Monthly Systems CMP Meeting. The Exception component of the meeting was originally scheduled for 3:00 p.m. but was rescheduled to 10:30 a.m. without dissent from CMP meeting attendees. Introductions IMA 12.0 APPROACH RECAP AND DISCUSSION Michael Buck / Qwest began the discussion pointing to the IMA 12.0 Initial Prioritization List produced and distributed following the balloting from the July Monthly Systems CMP Meeting. There were no questions on the Initial Prioritization List. Michael Buck / Qwest then reviewed SCR080502-01EX, an exception that Qwest initiated. The purpose of the Qwest exception request was to seek clarity on the path for IMA 12.0. As noted at the July Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants expressed concern that sticking with the CMP process would result in IMA 12.0 being filled completely with LSOG candidates. In SCR080502-01EX Qwest proposed an alternative a 50/50 split of resources between LSOG CRs and CLEC/Qwest initiated CRs. At the exception meeting these two options were considered and the 50 / 50 split option was unanimously chosen. However, at that meeting WorldCom expressed an interest in pursuing another alternative. As a result, WorldCom initiated the exception request that includes two options for consideration today. There were no questions. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed the quorum process. The quantity of carriers present at the last 6 days of Monthly Meetings (Product/Process and Systems) is gathered. The low and the high number is dropped. The remaining four numbers are averaged. The result is multiplied by 62.5% resulting in seven (7) as the quantity of carriers required to constitute a quorum. Michael Buck/Qwest reviewed all of the carriers at the meeting. There were eleven (11) carriers present so it was agreed that a quorum was established. He then asked WorldCom to review their exception request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom reiterated that this issue has been discussed in multiple forums. As discussed in re-design, WorldCom believes that the language requires Qwest to implement 100% of LSOG by the time required. However, doing so would mean that LSOG would take all of IMA 12 and 13. Such an approach doesn’t sit right because we feel that we’ve been waiting long and hard to get our CRs implemented. She noted that Qwest CRs were automatically implemented prior to the IMA 10.0 release. We are looking to get some of our CRs in. We would like to see this as an exception to the rule. We believe that Qwest needs to be LSOG compliant also. We believe that the prioritization has already taken place and that should stand. Jeff Thompson/Qwest sought to clarify WorldCom’s position. He indicated that WorldCom seemed to be saying that Qwest should be LSOG compliant while at the same time Qwest should not devote any resources to LSOG in IMA 12.0 unless we get to where LSOG CRs fall in the prioritized list. Liz Balvin/WorldCom expressed the point of view that the language was crafted after IMA 11.0 was prioritized. As a result, that backed us all up against the wall regarding LSOG – it all goes in IMA 12. WorldCom feels like we should stay with prioritization so that we can get some of our CRs. WorldCom would like there to be another way to get LSOG compliant without bumping CLEC CRS. Based on WorldCom’s analysis it appears that it could take until 2006 until all current CRs are implemented. And that doesn’t include LSOG 7 or any new CRs. We would like Qwest to be LSOG compliant, but we have many old CRs that have been sitting out there and it is impacting our business. Judy Schultz / Qwest stated that Qwest recognizes WorldCom’s concerns. Qwest believes there are some actions that all CMP participants can take to make the situation better. One is for all of us who have OBF representatives to communicate to OBF that these large, frequent LSOG releases are impacting us all in this way. Qwest welcomes other suggestions for how to solve the problem because the LSOG releases are affecting us all. Regarding WorldCom’s position, Qwest is very concerned that if we do the CRs as they are currently prioritized we might never get caught up with LSOG. Failing to move forward on LSOG now might cause Qwest to continually fall behind. Qwest wants to make sure that all participants understand what the trade off is. If we go forward with this, certainly Qwest will not be able to be LSOG compliant. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that even if we devote all of 12.0 WorldCom believes Qwest still won’t be LSOG compliant. But these issues will still come up going forward. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that part of the WorldCom position is that IMA should be LSOG compliant but that the age and size of the CR backlog means that CLEC CRs need to be addressed now. WorldCom also expresses concern that business is being hurt because of old CRs that remain unworked. He stated that he was not sure if WorldCom’s position lines up with the data. Of the top 30 prioritized CRs, only 4 are older than January 2002. And those four are all Qwest CRs. So the idea of CLECs being hurt when the top CRs are new issues doesn’t seem to fit. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if during the prior re-design discussion of this topic was there any discussion on how 13.0 would be treated. Judy Schultz/Qwest indicated that re-design attendees did not address that; we were just brainstorming ideas. Terry Wicks/Allegiance expressed his view that from what he’s hearing, it sounds like if we accept WorldCom’s exception request then IMA 13.0 will be totally above the line candidates. Depending on synergies, it will probably all be LSOG upgrades, which is how he thought IMA 12.0 should have been. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that was a critical issue. WorldCom also believes that Qwest doesn’t mean all LSOG when they say ‘above the line.’ Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that he understood that and that the concern would need to be dealt with. But based on where we are today, IMA 13.0 is looking to be all LSOG, that’s what I’m predicting realistically. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T also sees this as a chronic problem. Because there are my CRs, your CRs, LSOG CRs. I don’t know how to get total compliance. Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that Allegiance deals with all the other LECs, and when LSOG comes out they do it at one time, not piece meal and then they are compliant. Qwest is the only one that implements piecemeal. Jeff Thompson/Qwest responded that it was important to understand the use of the word compliant. One could take the position that once you do the foundation candidates you are compliant. All the forms now work with the standard format, etc. I’m not saying that other ILECs claim that, I don't know, but there are multiple ways of getting to compliance. Qwest will claim compliance when the ones applicable to Qwest are completed. Other ILECs may have a shorter list or longer list of issues that apply to their business. My understanding is that other ILECs do devote a full release to LSOG. Qwest did one release in past where an entire release was devoted to LSOG. Terry Wicks/Allegiance expressed thanks for that information. I don’t know what they are considering to be compliant I just know the trend has been that they do it all at once. Judy Schultz/Qwest indicated that there was not certainty that all of IMA 13.0 would be devoted to LSOG. If we follow existing Change Management Processes to the letter then quite possibly 13.0 would be entirely LSOG. But the caveat is that the CMP community could agree to something different. To my knowledge LSOG 6 was a monster, unlike anything we’d ever seen in terms of size and quantity of issues. Apparently, LSOG 7 could be just as large. So for starters we all need to try and stop the problem at the source…we’ve got all of that to consider. What we all have to consider with this vote, is that if the exception is approved, at best, it will put Qwest even further behind in implementing LSOG. The CMP community needs to come up with further ideas on how to deal with this. Gary Veik (Qwest’s OBF representative) is at OBF trying to put Qwest’s point of view on the table. But he is just one voice in the forum. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if September is still the date OBF has given for providing more information on LSOG 7? Connie Winston/Qwest said for definition, yes. Terry Wicks/Allegiance asked if we will have time to do analysis before IMA 13.0? Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that Qwest should be able to provide some analysis in October. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon indicated that when Liz Balvin/WorldCom threw those numbers out she was astonished. When we had the vote last week on the previous exception request, Eschelon opted to abstain because of the 2 options on the table, our interpretation indicated LSOG would go above the line. But there was no stipulation to that up to the assigned amount of hours. I would have felt differently if I felt that 12.0 would be all LSOG and it all LSOG would have been done with that release. That’s why I abstained. Byron Dowding/Alltel asked if there was a list of what would be in the 50/50? Liz Balvin/WorldCom said if you look at the prioritization form, my quick view of the results, we will definitely get to #9 as the results for 12.0 prioritized list. Byron Dowding/Alltel asked how can he vote on something that he doesn’t see. Judy Schultz/Qwest indicated that he could look at the LOE on the 12.0 prioritization list. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated her analysis shows that the 50/50 approach will provide maybe 3 LSOG candidates. Byron Dowding/Alltel said he would like to see the options. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that this is not a packaging discussion. The goal of today’s discussion and vote is not to select which CRs to implement but rather which process to follow. Terry Wicks/Allegiance indicated that 12.0 Initial Prioritization List ranks everything the way the CLECs voted. If you take the first 5 on the list, those CRs are the most likely candidates for the 50% of the release devoted to prioritization. Then, the first 3 LSOGs on the list would be the 50% of the release for the LSOG part. That estimate is based on taking the highest level of efforts. Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that if something went wrong during definition, design and there was a mistake then the results might be different. Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that Qwest also looks during the packaging phase for other CRs that could be implemented easily. Jeff Thompson/Qwest confirmed this. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest resources are working on this right now? They are not waiting for the results of this vote? Jeff Thompson/Qwest indicated that they are experiencing churn at this time, but yes they are working. Terry Wicks/Allegiance noted that if the exception is agreed to instead of the 50/50, then CRs 1 through 12 on the list would most likely go into IMA 12.0. So you can compare those to see what you will get for your vote. He noted that with this approach more CLEC/Qwest CRS would get in, but fewer LSOG CRs. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Terry Wicks/Allegiance has sliced & diced this list thank you for that. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked Qwest to vote first. Judy Schultz/Qwest reiterated that if the vote is yes, in favor of the exception, that it is with the express approval of everyone that Qwest will not be LSOG compliant, Qwest will vote yes. SBC — abstain AllTel — yes AT&T — yes NC Telecom — yes US Link — yes Eschelon — yes Covad — yes WorldCom — yes Allegiance — yes Integra — yes NOTE: The voting results are also captured in the CLEC-Qwest Voting Tally Form for SCR081402-01EX. Michael Buck/Qwest—with unanimity the WorldCom CR is agreed to and that will dictate how Qwest will move forward with the definition of CRs for IMA release 12.0. Mike Zulevic/Covad said that the real issue that we need to address in re-design is the resource issue. The thing that makes it difficult for me is not knowing what the resources will be going forward, and I understand that Qwest has resources issues like the rest of us, but we need to address what we’ll have going forward. Liz Balvin/WorldCom voiced the concern that the resource allocation is 100% in Qwest’s court and that’s one of the obstacles that we have to overcome. Michael Buck/Qwest—any other comments or questions? No questions. He gave one last reminder that next month’s regularly scheduled Monthly Systems CMP Meeting will be at Inverness.

Description Of Change

As excerpted from an August 22, 2002 email from Elizabeth Balvin/WorldCom to Michael Buck/Qwest -

"Exception: 

To implement the following CRs SCR060702-01 Migrating Customers using the Conversion As Specified Activity Type and SCR061302-01 Migrate UNE-P Customers by TN prior to IMA 12.0 planned production release of April/03.  

Description of request with good cause for seeking an exception:

Qwest is currently not industry compliant because of its requirements surrounding migrate as specified and the fact that migrate by TN currently is not available.  Currently, when migrating as specified, CLECs are obligated to differentiate between features the customer already has and features the customer desires for the first time.  They are also forced to include the customer's service address and customer code on every order, and must retrieve new customer codes before submitting supplemental orders.  The requirement for additional information places the burden on CLECs to pull, populate and verify information prior to order submission -- all steps that reduce efficient ordering and provides greater room for error.  NOTE: Requested migrate as specified capabilities existed prior to IMA release 6.0. 

Desired outcome:  

That the migrate as specified and migrate by TN CRs are implemented by Qwest per OBF guidelines no later than the end of 2002.  

Supporting documentation:

 

1) "Qwest's Wholesale Change Management Process Document - 7/10/02", section 16.0 states "If the Exception Request is for changes to CMP timelines and sets forth specific dates for completion of tasks, a two-thirds majority vote will be required unless Qwest or a CLEC demonstrate, with substantiating information, that one of the criteria for denial set forth in Sections 5.1.3 or 5.3 is legitimately applicable. If one of the criteria for denial will cause such an exception request to be rejected, the requestor may withdraw the specific dates from its exception request at the meeting where it is discussed, in order to have the two thirds majority vote apply to the request."  Thus WCom believes a two/thirds vote would be required to implement the requested changes prior to IMA 12.0 planned production release date of 4/03.

2) Qwest's Ex Parte dated August 13, 2002 addressing the staff of the Wireline Competition Bureau requests states "The Exception Process, specified in Section 16 of the CMP, provides the ability for a CLEC or Qwest to request a deviation from the CMP.  This process could be used to request expedited treatment or implementation outside of the normal planned release".   Thus WCom requests the identified CRs be implemented outside the normal planned IMA release date of 4/03.

VOTE:  That CRs SCR060702-01 Migrating Customers using the Conversion As Specified Activity Type and SCR061302-01 Migrate UNE-P Customers by TN are implemented by Qwest no later than the end of 2002.  A "yes" response would require Qwest to implement by the end of 2002.  A "no" vote would require the CRs to follow the processes currently imposed by the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document."

Project Meetings

Meeting Minutes Ad-Hoc meeting for WorldCom CR SCR082302-01EX Wednesday September 11, 2002 @ 11:00 a.m. Bridge Call open to all CLECs This meeting was held to discuss the questions raised around WorldCom’s exception request SCR082302-01EX. MBuck/Qwest held roll call and reviewed all of the participants that were on the conference bridge. Everyone in the room announced themselves. Michael stated that the purpose for this ad hoc meeting was to discuss the questions raised regarding WorldCom’s exception request. He provided a brief overview of the CR and he pointed to the notice that went out with the questions and answers. The questions:1. More details provided by Qwest to better understand if this change request is approved, what would be the end result impact?What in addition to timeline changes (disclosure documentation requirements) does Qwest believe will apply? What is the progress to date surrounding these CRs? "Migrate as specified" business development requirements should have begun as of July 26, 2002. Did Qwest account for the fact that migrate as specified functionality existed prior to IMA 6.0 when estimating its man-hours? Has there been any analysis performed on "migrate by TN" (synergies?). Are the man-hours established for "migrate by TN" still considered appropriate?How would Qwest resources be diverted How would the 12.0 prioritization list be impacted?What additional man hours would be estimated?What "voting" standard must apply (2/3rds or unanimous) Is it possible to treat the CRs separately given their 12.0 ranking status?Example: "migrate as specified" will be implemented in April/03, would only "timeline" changes apply?, thus 2/3rds vote 3. What other options are available to address the Exception CR and lessen the impact on the 12.0 release? J Thompson/Qwest Reviewed the analysis that was done in answer to the questions that were submitted by WorldCom. He noted the 2 CRs that WorldCom has asked to have accelerated. Jeff spoke to the high level points included in the detailed feedback Qwest had provided.He noted that both CRs are CLEC impacting candidates that affect GUI & EDI, therefore the activities associated with a major release must be done. Therefore, this leads to the need for a major IMA release. Qwest looked at the schedule and determined that the development process is too far along the path for IMA 11.0 to get these two CRs included in the IMA 11.0 release so Qwest ruled that out. Qwest has a point release (IMA 11.1) scheduled for January. The most doable thing would be to convert the planned point release to a major release, leave it in January, and do required additional activity that is associated with a major release (including SATE). Qwest would probably deliver SATE in conjunction, in January because of the schedule. If Qwest and the CLECs can’t agree to do that, then Qwest could push the new major release out to February and deliver SATE in January. Because the request is to have it done by December, Qwest evaluated the possibility of the January date. Regardless of the date, scheduling a new, accelerated major release has the following implications: 1 This would produce a short schedule for Qwest and CLECs. If CLECs want to benefit from this acceleration, they would have to do work to assume those benefits. 2 The acceleration of candidates carries its own risks. The development scheduled is shortened by 2 months. If something goes wrong, Qwest doesn’t have as much time to recover as there would be on an April delivery schedule, causing Qwest not to deliver on time. He noted that it’s just risky. 3 All the documentation would be less than the 73-day requirement. Because of the short, aggressive timeline, Qwest probably wouldn’t be able to make the 73 days for technical specs. The DRAFT specs would probably come out at the time the finals would normally come out. 4 Training on 11.0 will have just been delivered. More training schedules will have to be released. There will probably be some overlap causing back-to-back training. 5 Resources would be taken away from 12.0 in order to meet the acceleration. The candidates are using the high end of the LOE because of the nature of acceleration. Qwest doesn’t have detailed numbers. Qwest did the estimates using the high numbers (Jeff reviewed the numbers in the response). In addition to the 2 CRs that get pulled up, Qwest and the CLECs would need to figure out which of the 2 CRs that tied for the #17 slot, would be eliminated from the release as well. Those are consequence for accelerating. 6 Impacts to CMP commitments: The CMP process requires that Qwest can’t have major releases less than 3 months apart. This would be violated (either with the January release being too close to the November 18 release date for IMA 11.0 or a February release being too close to the April 7th date for IMA 12.0). So that CMP obligation would not be met. 7 Sunset impacts: The process states that Qwest will support the previous IMA release for six (6) months after the next major IMA EDI release has been implemented. J Thompson/Qwest noted that the 3 hardware production platforms are only to support 3 releases. He reviewed the changes in retirement date for 10.0, and noted that we just received a CR to extend that date. He added that the WorldCom request would move shorten the sunset timeframe for 10.0 rather than lengthen it. 8 Noted that there has been a lot of churn on the IMA 12.0 release already. He indicated that CLECs have created issues around the prioritization process and that this is now the third exception on how the IMA 12.0 release should be handled. So far, there has unanimous agreement on how resources are to be used. This is causing lots of churn and exceptions for resources. Another way to address this would be to invoke the SCRP to get additional resources applied. As the CLECs continue to induce churn, Qwest continues to induce change in the way resources are applied to this release. This impacts issues that Qwest has to look at in dealing with this CR. He added that it is important to note that invoking the SCRP process would minimize the churn.JThompson/Qwest Noted that this is the initial take on an additional release. He added that both of the CRs in the WorldCom request are on different Business Requirements schedules for completion and that there has been no synergy identified between them. He added that once the specifications for the changes are completed, Qwest will revisit the LOEs to see if they need to be changed. He concluded by reiterating that this is the summary of Qwest’s analysis of the impact of this CR.Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon Asked if Qwest could explain about how this would impact the sunset of IMA 10.0.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Indicated the he has an interest in the IMA 10.0 sunset as well. JThompson/Qwest Stated that Qwest has 3 platforms. He explained that normally, in this situation, Qwest would run IMA release 10, 11 & 12 on those 3 hardware platforms. When it came time to run 13, Qwest would retire 10 so the hardware would be available to run 11, 12 & 13. So in that scenario, Qwest would retire IMA 10.0 when it is forced to go on 13. IMA 13.0 is currently scheduled for August, because Qwest needs time to prep the platforms. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Asked if Qwest put the WorldCom major release in, then what would the sunset date be.Jeff Thompson/Qwest Replied that 10.0 might sunset as late as April. He added that Qwest would hang on as long as possible to the platform. He added that it might have to be March. And that these are all preliminary assessments. One thing is clear, it would not be May or later.Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon Asked if that would matter if it was the point releases.JThompson/Qwest Clarified that it wouldn’t matter. The fact that Qwest has to create a new code base causes Qwest to change platforms.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Requested clarification around the concept of a major release. WorldCom views this request as a ‘mini-major.’ What would the impacts be for us as end users? She stated that the changes to CMP documentation would be against the 2 CRs only, and asked if that was right.JThompson/Qwest Confirmed that there would be documentation changes. But the impact would be more than just documentation. Qwest must assume that if the CLECs approve this then the CLECs must want to use it. In order to use it they would need disclosure, they need to be able to test, etc. He noted that if the CLECs want to do this, the CLECs must want to use it early.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that her point is that it’s not truly a major release because it’s not 40,000 hours of coding changes. She noted that because Qwest is using a point release, the functional changes that exist are only based on 2 CRs.JThompson/Qwest Clarified that he was not suggesting Qwest use a point release. He was saying that Qwest could abolish the point release to use the timeslot for the major release. He noted that the definition of major versus point doesn’t hinge on LOE, it hinges on level of CLEC impact. The question is whether CLECs would need to make code changes, need a test environment, etc. Adding that if the CLECs are looking at that definition, then the answer is clearly yes, it’s a major release.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Indicated that she did understand what Jeff Thompson was saying, but that this release would not be adding any other functional changes but these 2 CRs.J Thompson/Qwest Jeff confirmed that the proposed major release would be for delivery of the 2 CRs in question. Delivery of the functionality for these 2 CRs and all the related activities would constitute a major release.Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Asked if it would be a major release because of coding impact?Jeff Thompson/Qwest Confirmed that she was correct.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Confirmed that there would be no coding or functionality changes with the currently scheduled point release.J Thompson/Qwest Clarified that there is one spillover candidate disclosed as part of the major release, and added that there is no coding impact with that change.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked that if this Exception CR was approved, would there be coding changes required for the other CLECs. JThompson/Qwest Confirmed that there would be.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked about the comment in Qwest’s feedback concerning the 40,000 hours. Qwest will most likely be able to address the top 19 CRs? Does that mean that #19 is going to make it in the IMA 12.0 release? Jeff Thompson/Qwest Indicated that it is too early in the process to say. He indicated that for now Qwest needs to plan as if Qwest is going to make it all the way through #19 on the CR prioritization list. He noted that the process is to complete requirements analysis and communicate that in the packaging discussion in November this year. He added that Qwest would continue with design, then begin code, then provide the final commitment in December. Liz Balvin/WorldCom Indicated that she has played the numbers game and didn’t know how Qwest believes they can get to #19. J Thompson/Qwest Reiterated that this goes back to the way the process is worked. From a process standpoint Qwest must define further down the CR prioritization list than we estimate we will actually get. By doing this, we might find synergies with candidates further down. Also, we might re-LOE some CRs, causing candidates to go higher or lower on the list. It’s early in the process, but at this stage, Qwest has to work this list as if this will make it into the release. In November Qwest will bring the results forward to discuss exactly what can make it in the release and why. He noted that right now Qwest has to work it as if it could make the release. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Mentioned that Liz (Balvin) had concerns about this prior to today. She noted that the Migrate as specified CR existed prior to IMA 6.0. She asked what had happened that caused the CMP process to lose thaJThompson/Qwest Stated that we have had that detailed conversation before in a Monthly Meeting. At a high level, he recapped that there were a series of issues, some concerns around converting the wrong account, adding/deleting the wrong feature, and a whole serious of issues between Qwest & the CLECs, that lead Qwest to beef up how those conversions were done. The result is that more information is required from the CLECs to ensure those service issues did not occur. He added that it morphed into what Qwest believes is the higher quality implementation that exists today.Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Noted that she didn’t know if a CR came forward in between then and now to change this?JThompson/Qwest Clarified that it was a whole series of smaller CRs that morphed the capability.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Asked if we clarify that this alters timeframes, would the vote be unanimous or two-thirds?JThompson/Qwest Responded that he didn’t think the analysis dictated whether it would be unanimous or 2/3. However, he did point out that the analysis shows this Exception Request would change more than just timelines, this would have broader impacts to CMP. Additionally, it would overturn 2 other Exception CRs that were agreed to with the unanimous vote.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Indicated that in order to be prepared for next week’s vote, we need to know how the voting would be handled.Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Asked for clarification on which 2 unanimously approved Exception CRs would be overturned by the current WorldCom Exception CR.JThompson/Qwest Clarified the two CRs to be overturned: 1) Qwest exception CR regarding full LSOG versus 50/50 and 2) WorldCom exception that sought prioritized 12.0 list versus 50/50. He indicated that there is a different resource issue for 12.0. He referred to the churn issue that he was talking about earlier.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Asked how the CLEC community would go about making the decision. Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that she thinks it is important for WorldCom in dealing with IMA 12.0. She recapped that Qwest came forth to say they wanted the 50/50 option. WorldCom wanted another option and submitted a CR. Looking at the end result, we weren’t going to get more functionality for LSOG and it was unanimously voted to keep the list as is. This third Exception CR came as a result of information Qwest provided to the FCC, per section 16, that a CLEC could use this process to request expedited treatment of the release. WorldCom understood this to allow for a change request to change timelines. If you look at the correspondence between Qwest and WorldCom, it will change a lot more than timelines. On one side Qwest is saying this is an option, to the FCC, when WorldCom submits the changes, it truly is not an option, we’ve been told the real option is SCRP.J Thompson/Qwest Indicated that the exception process truly is an option. He noted that it is a fact of this particular case, that it might not be a good option because of the impacts. He noted that he could envision other circumstances where it is a good option. The process is there, and it is worth the attempt and it allows the discussion to take place. Qwest has brought forward how we analyzed this. The objection in this case, it seems, is with the outcome. If a CR was submitted to change IMA 19, for example, that would probably work because there is enough lead-time. It’s not a problem with the process; it’s this specific CR.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that she thought that it was unrealistic to change IMA 19. Noting that it’s so far down the pipeline.JThompson/Qwest Commented that he didn’t intend a trivial example. The point is that the exception process exists and it works. He noted that with Exception CRs that Qwest had dealt with before, for example: the sunset dates for extending the process, that those CRs had worked. Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that this proves the point that WorldCom’s original exception CR cannot be implemented regardless if there is a vote, and that it was evidenced by the correspondence that has been going back and forth. The original intention of the WorldCom CR can’t be met. She noted that there’s no vote that can change that. It looks like what’s on the table is to shift 11.1 candidates and divert the 12.0 resources. It looks like they will implement both by the April timeframe. JThompson/Qwest Noted that Qwest is working under that assumption today. He added that Qwest can in no way commit to that. He stated that the process says Qwest will deal with that at packaging. Both are in requirements definition, both will be examined and Qwest will get back to the CLECs at the appropriate time according to CMP.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked if that is in November.JThompson/Qwest Confirmed that it was.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked if the soonest Qwest can do it is with the Jan/Feb proposal. She noted that the CLECs would be faced with all the impacts documentation, training, SATE, sunset. JThompson/Qwest Confirmed that with current assumptions that was correct.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked, where do we sit? She stated that it sounds like our exception CR has been rejected, I need to understand what Qwest’s thought is. What’s the vote?M Buck/Qwest Stated that he thought it’s not Qwest’s decision alone, it’s a community decision. He stated that from a process standpoint, it would seem that the decision is whether to treat the CR as an exception. He asked what other CLECs thought.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Indicated that if these 2 CRs are implemented as Jeff Thompson/Qwest has attempted to outline, it would result in another release. What affected Allegiance is the sunset of IMA 10.0 a month earlier because he had planned to request to extend this at least 6-8 weeks later. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Noted that the whole year’s planning is critical to an EDI development person, as well as all of the CMP development deliverables. Liz Balvin/WorldCom Explained that WorldCom didn’t want to change the whole CMP to accommodate these CRs. She noted that WorldCom believed the functionality is critical to their business. She stated that this falls back on the process. It seems that Qwest is rejecting the request. She noted that if the group does move forward with the exception CR, it is not as it was originally intended.M Buck/Qwest Stated that he didn’t think Qwest shares the view that the CR is being rejected. The process calls for voting on whether or not to treat the CR as an Exception. The CMP could still vote to treat this as an exception request if WorldCom wishes to do so, noting also that Qwest has outlined the implications and offered alternatives.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Clarified that a vote of yeis that these would be implemented on December 31, 2002. He indicated that the inclusion of a specified date on the exception didn’t seem appropriate at this time. He also clarified that there would be no vote at today’s meeting. The vote was planned for next Thursday’s CMP Meeting.M Buck/Qwest Agreed with that. He stated that is why Qwest believes that the vote should be on whether to treat the CR as an exception. He noted that WorldCom has the option, under the process, to adjust their request in light of new information. Additionally, regardless of when this CR might be done (i.e. December, January, or February) it would still impact the sunset timelines.Terry Wicks/Allegiance stated that this exception has to be unanimous. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Agreed.M Buck/Qwest Stated that Qwest also agreed.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Noted that she thought the vote option that WorldCom has put on the table has changed.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Clarified that the change was from December to February.Connie Winston/Qwest Noted that it would be February if Qwest has to adhere to the SATE implementation in January. She stated that Qwest was going to take a one-moment break from the call to discuss the issue.M Buck/Qwest Stated that Qwest is trying to answer the question as to what the vote is that we go forward with. If WorldCom wants to remove or adjust the dates, Qwest can do that, or we can go forward with it the way it’s written. Again, the question is whether to approve an exception to the process.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that this will always happen. It’s going to be an ongoing problem.M Buck/Qwest Stated that that’s a result of the process that’s been agreed to.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Replied that she doesn’t believe that the option that was provided to the FCC is truly an option.Connie Winston/Qwest Responded that the Exception process is certainly always an option. She noted that it’s the specifics of a particular CR that drives its feasibility. Adding that it’s not that Qwest doesn’t want to look at the options. She noted that sometimes it will work. Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that it seems Qwest cannot accept the original request. So going forward, does Qwest rejects this CR, or do you expect Qwest to change the CR?Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon recalled that there was one of these a couple of months ago. She noted that we did collectively agree that since Qwest was unable to meet the original request that the CR be denied.MBuck/Qwest Clarified that the one Bonnie was thinking of was not an exception request. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon Agreed with Michael that the previous example was not an Exception. She stated that she thought there was another CR like this that was discussed.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that she did recall that too and that she thought that was what we’re faced with today. M Buck/Qwest Stated that he thought the example we are looking for here is the Covad exception where Qwest was requested to move the sunset date beyond a date that Qwest could accommodate. After consultation between Covad and Qwest, Covad changed the date in their Exception CR and the CR was unanimously accepted.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Stated that we need to vote on weather to accept this as an exception CR.M Buck/Qwest Stated that Qwest agrees and believes we are voting on whether or not to treat this as an exception.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Explained that the WorldCom CR is requesting a specific date and that Qwest is saying that it can’t meet the date.M Buck/Qwest Mentioned that if WorldCom choose to go forward with it as an exception, Qwest is prepared to vote on is whether to treat this as an exception. He stated that he believed that the question goes to all the CLECs.Qwest was asked to examine the risks and had done so. Based on the feedback and impacts Qwest has identified, Qwest and the CLECs need to decide whether there is a desire to consider this request as an exception to the process. Determining whether the impacts are acceptable, regardless of the date, is the purpose of voting whether to treat the CR as an exception.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that the key is that Qwest is asking WorldCom to remove the date.M Buck/Qwest Stated the he didn’t believe that Qwest was asking WorldCom to remove the date. He noted that the interpretation that Qwest has is that we need to decide on whether to move forward with this as an exception. According to the process, if the vote is in favor, a schedule for subsequent activities would need to be agreed to. He stated that he thought Terry Wicks had said it much better than he did.Monica Avila/Vartec Stated that Jeff Thompson had mentioned that Qwest felt that the changes could not be implement by the end of 2002.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Indicated that she had heard the same thing and it was included in the answers Qwest had provided to WorldCom’s questions.MonicaAvila/Vartec Stated that she didn’t see that.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Pointed out that it was on page 9 of the CR response.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Asked Liz Balvin if she was opposed to voting as it is stated? If we want to say yes, and we leave the date in there, then the exception either way passes or not. If it passes then Qwest will have to prove how they can’t do it.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that this would have to be a unanimous vote. She added that if a vote is taken today to see if we can get it in, it sounds like we are faced with taking a vote to move forward as it stands now. She added that a yes vote would say to implement the CR as it is written.M Buck/Qwest Stated that it’s up to WorldCom. Qwest can conduct the vote on the exception as it’s written, but if WorldCom chooses to change the language of the exception, Qwest can conduct the vote on that.Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Asked that if WorldCom changed the title, then this wouldn’t be an exception CR.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Responded by saying that if we follow the process, we have to vote on this, yes or no, to be an exception without altering the date or anything because the notice has gone out. The purpose of this meeting was to gather more information.M Buck/Qwest Indicated that if there was a desire to change the wording a notice could probably go out to the entire community with the updated wording. But, yes, Qwest agrees that there needs to be a vote on whether to allow an exception to the process in this instance.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked if the group had agreed that a unanimous vote is required.Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Confirmed that we had.Terry Wicks/Allegiance Stated that he also agreed. Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked if we’re saying it’s unanimous because it not only changes the timeline but it changes other things too.Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Responded that it’s because it’s called an exception.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Reviewed the language in section 16. She stated that WorldCom thought when writing the CR that the primary impact was changing the timelines set forth with tech specs etc.M Buck/Qwest Replied that on this call, the group seems to have clearly established that this CR, per bullet 3, seeks to change more than timelines.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Asked Michael which sections he was talking about. She indicated that she still thought they were all timeline changes.M Buck/Qwest Indicated that J Thompson/Qwest had already gone through the list in great detail. As just one example, he cited on page 9 the implication of having Major Releases less than 3 months apart.Liz Balvin/WorldCom Stated that she thought the group cleared that up that this is not a major release.M Buck/Qwest Stated that Qwest doesn’t share that view. As it was previously discussed, the changes required by this exception meet the definition of a major release as defined in the process. He indicated that the view seemed to be largely shared by others on the call.Liz Balvin/WorldCom indicated that she did understand that this change would be a reallocation of resources.Terry Wicks/Allegiance stated the changes would be functional and require coding by CLECs, that's another reason it qualifies as a major release.Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she wanted to be clear that a unanimous vote is required and that a major reason is resources.Everyone on the call agreed that this is a unanimous vote.Terry Wicks/Allegiance clarified that for next week's vote we are voting yes or no on the CR the way it was writtenLiz Balvin/WorldCom reviewed the wording in the notice and said that yes the vote would be for the CR the way it was written. WorldCom would not change the wording. M Buck/Qwest asked if there were any other comments/questions and there none. The call ended at 12:25pm

DateAug27, 2002 EffDate:CMPR.08.27.02.F.01320.CMPMtgVote Notification Category: CMP Target Audience: CLECs, Reseller Subject: CMP EXCEPTION VOTE REQUIRED Associated CR or System Name and Number:SCR082302-01EXPursuant to Sections 16.3 and 17.3 of the Qwest Wholesale CMP Process Document http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html, the purpose of this notification is to alert the CMP community that Qwest has received an ExceptionRequest that will be discussed and voted on at the Sept 19, 2002, Monthly Systems CMP Meeting At this meeting participants will vote to accept or decline to treat this request as an Exception in accordance with Section 17.0 of the Qwest WholesaleCMPDocument,http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html.Exception Request Details: Requestor: WorldCom Inc. Description of request with good cause for seeking an exception: "Exception: To implement the following CRs SCR060702-01 Migrating Customers using the Conversion AsSpecified Activity Type and SCR061302-01 Migrate UNE-P Customers by TN prior to IMA 12.0 planned production release of April3.Description of request with good cause for seeking an exception: Qwest is currently not industry compliant because of its requirements surrounding migrations as specified and the fact that migrate by TN currently is not available. Currently, when migrating as specified, CLECs are obligated to differentiate between features the customer already has and features the customer desires for the first time. They are also forced to include the customer's service address and customer code on every order, and must retrieve new customer codes before submitting supplemental orders. The requirement for additional information places the burden on CLECs to pull, populate and verify information prior to order submission -- all steps that reduce efficient ordering and provides greater room for error. NOTE:Requested migrate as specified capabilities existed prior to IMA release 6.0. Desired outcome: That the migrate as specified and migrate by TN CRs are implemented by Qwest per OBFguidelines no later than the end of 2002. Supporting documentation: 1) "Qwest's Wholesale Change Management Process Document - 7/10/02", section 16.0 states "If the Ex Request is for changes to CMP timelines and sets forth specific dates for completion of tasks, a two-thirdsmajority vote will be required unless Qwest or a CLEC demonstrate, with substantiating information, that one of the criteria for denial set forth in Sections 5.1.3 or 5.3 is legitimately applicable. If one of the criteria for denial will cause such an exception request to be rejected, the requestor may withdraw the specific dates from its exception request at the meeting where it is discussed, in order to have the two thirds majority vote apply to the request." Thus WCom believes a two/thirds vote would be required to implement the requested changes prior to IMA 12.0 planned production release date of 4/03. (Note: Qwest disagrees with WorldCom’s interpretation of the Qwest Wholesale CMP Doc, Section 16. See Decision bullet on page 2, below.) 2) Qwest'sEx Parte dated August 13, 2002 addressing the staff of the Wireline Competition Bureau requests states "The Exception Process, specified in Sect 16 of the CMP, provides the ability for a CLEC or Qwest to request a deviation from the CMP. This process could be used to request expedited treatment or implementation outside of the normal planned release". Thus WCom requests the identified CRs be implemented outside the normal planned IMA release date of 4/03. VOTE: That CRs SCR060702-01 Migrating Customers using the Conversion As Specified Activity Type and SCR061302-01 Migrate UNE-P Customers by TN are implemented by Qwest no later than the end of 2002. A "yes" response would require Qwest to implement by the end of 2002. A "no" vote would require the CRs to follow the processes currently imposed by the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document." Desired outcome: "That the migrate as specified and migrate by TN CRs are implemented by Qwest per OBFguidelines no later than the end of 2002."Supporting documentation: See related CR, SCR082302-01EX, in the CLEC Qwest Change Request - Systems Interactive Reports at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html. Logistics for Call/Meeting: This request will be discussed and voted on at the Sept19, 2002, Monthly Systems CMP Meeting. Date: Thursday, Septr 19, 2002 Time: 8:00 5:00 MT Location: Inverness Hotel Englewood, Co877-572-8687, Passcode: 3393947 Vote: Yes: A vote of "Yes" will indicate a preference that development efforts for IMA 12.0 be allocated first to CRs SCR060702-01 and SCR061302-01, inorder for Qwest to attempt to meet a December 31, 2002 production date, and then to remaining CRs in accordance with Exception Request SCR081402-01EX. (See Qwest Notification CMPR.08.26.02.F.01319.EmergencyCallVote.) No: A vote of "No" will indicate a preference that development efforts for IMA 12.0 be allocated in accordance with Exception RequestSCR081402-01EX. (See Qwest Notification CMPR.08.26.02.F.01319.EmergencyCallVote.) Decision: Qwest’s position is that this request seeks a change to the prescribed manner in which Qwest will apply systems resources, outlined in Sections 5.1.3, 5.2 and 5.2.1 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html; this vote requires unanimous approval to grant the exception request. Deadline for e-mail votes: All e-mail votes must be received by Qwest, cmpcr@qwest.com, no later than 6:00 AM MT on Thursday, September 19, 2002. (Please refer to Section 17.4.3 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Doc http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp.html, for e-mail ballot format and procedures.) Change Request Number: SCR082302-01EX Primary contact information: M Buck, Qwest CMP Manager, mjbuck@qwest.com, 303-294-1633On August 23, 2002, Qwest acknowledged this request by e-mail. Qwest cautions that, if granted, the accelerated nature of the development required to implement this request will impact CLECs and Qwest. This requestrequires Qwest to attempt to implement an additional Release, including CLEC coding changes, before December 31, 2002. Additionally, if Qwest attempts to implement two CRs on a completely different timeframe than the rest of IMA 12.0 Qwest must divert resources already deployed to IMA 12.0 This resourcediversion and intensified re-application will require a Level of Effort greater than that estimated prior to IMA 12.0 Prioritization (which assumed implementationwith IMA 12.0 in April 2003)reducing the resources available for the remainder of IMA 12.0

If a CLEC disagrees with an Exception request, a CLEC would have no ability to make its arguments in opposition to the Exception Reques in the notice. Sections 16.2 and 16.3 list the contents of the notice and they do not include a statement by Qwest when Qwest is not the party asking for the Exception.The notice for the WCOM request, however, adds this language by Qwest: Qwest cautions that, if granted, the accelerated nature of the development required to implement this request will impact CLECs and Qwest. This request requires Qwest to attempt to implement an additional Release, including CLEC coding changes, before Dec 31, 2002. Additionally, if Qwestattempts to implement two CRs on a completely different timeframe than the rest of IMA 12.0 Qwest must divert resources already deployed to IMA 12.0. This resource diversion and intensified re-application will require a Level of Effort greater than that estimated prior to IMA 12.0 Prioritization (which assumed implementation with IMA 12.0 in April 2003), reducing the resources available for the remainder of IMA 12.0.This should be discussed in Redesign.

Lichtenberg (E-mail)" ,"Lori Wright (E-mail)"  WorldCom opposes Qwest "decision" language in the attached notification as it changes the intent of WCom's Exception change request. In addition, WCom not only agrees with Eschelon assessment of this situation but adds that this notification proves that Qwest believes it can unilaterally impose changes to CMP.As an initial matter, WCom provides the following comments (IN CAPS) surrounding section 16.4.1: 16.4.1Vote on Exception Request A vote on whether an Exception Request will be handled on an exception basis will take place at the Emergency Call/Meeting, if one is held (See Section 6.2.1).If an Emergency Call/Meeting is not held, the vote will be taken at the Monthly CMP Meeting (See Section 16.4).The standards for determining whether a request should will be handled on an exception basis are as follows:If the Exception Request is for a general change to the established CMP timelines without setting forth specific dates, a two-thirds majority vote will be required. THIS WOULD NOT BE THE PROCESS BECAUSE WCOM IS REQUESTINGTO CHANGEDEFINED DATES If the Exception Request is for changes to CMP timelines and sets forth specific dates for completion of tasks, a two-thirds majority vote will be required unless Qwest or a CLEC demonstrate, with substantiating information, that one of the criteria for denial set forth in Sections 5.1.3 or 5.3 is legitimately applicable. If one of the criteria for denial will cause such an exception request to be rejected, the requestor may withdraw the specific dates from its exception request at the meeting where it is discussed, in order to have the two thirds majority vote apply to the request THIS WOULD BE THE PROCESS BECAUSE IF A 2/3 VOTE IS IN FAVOR OF WCOM'S PROPOSAL, QWEST WOULD BE  REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT THE TWO CRS BY YEAR END, WHICH WOULD ALSO CHANGE THE SPECIFIC TIME FRAMES SURROUNDING DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS.  "Issue draft interface technical specifications 120 days in advance" "Issue final interface technical specifications 100 days in advance" WHILE THE DOCUMENTATION WOULD ONLY BE FOR TWO CRS AND NOT AN ENTIRE INTERFACE, CLECS WOULD NEED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN ADVANCE OF THE CHANGES TO CODE ON OUR SIDE. THESE TIMELINES, AS WELL AS WALK THROUGH REQUIREMENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE ESTABLISHED.If the Exception Request seeks to alter any part of the this CMP other than the established timelines, unanimous agreement will be required. THIS WOULD NOT BE THE PROCESS BECAUSE WCOM IS SEEKING TO ALTER TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TIMELINES. Regarding Qwest"decision" language that states "Qwest position is that this request seeks a change to the prescribed manner in which Qwest will apply systems resources, outlined in Sections 5.1.3, 5.2 and 5.2.1 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document..."  WComprovides the following responses surrounding these sections:Section 5.1.32Implementation of Regulatory CRs" deals with Regulatory CRs for which CRs SCR060702-01 and SCR061302-01 have in no way been categorized by WCom as Regulatory CRs.Section 5.2"CLEC-Qwest OSS Interface Change Request Lifecycle"  states "Based on the Releasecandidate listInitial Prioritization List, Qwest will begin its development cycle that includes the following milestoneslisted below".: The initial prioritization list has been available for Qwest to begin its development cycle since July 26, 2002.  Change request SCR060702-01 "Migrate Customers using the Conversion as Specified Activity Type" was prioritized as # 2, thus Qwest should have begun its development cycle on this CR as of July 26th. In addition, per Qwest Ex Parte dated 8/13/02, this requested functionality existed prior to IMA release 6.0, therefore WCom questions the man hours Qwest has imposed for this CR (5675 - 9450 or Extra Large).  Regarding CR SCR061302-01 "Migrate UNE-P Customers by TN", since CLECs don't yet have insight into Qwest's development cycle or whether packing options will be available for 12.0, it is too soon to tell whether this CRs has even been touched by Qwest development personnel. In addition, BellSouth implemented a "migrate by TN" CR in a total of 999 man hours.  Thus, this also calls into question why Qwest has estimated double the man hours to implement (1875 -3125 or Medium).Section 5.2.1"Business and Systems Requirements"  states "Qwest engineers define the business and functional specifications during this phase.The specifications are completed on a per candidate basis in priority order. During business and system requirements, any candidates which have affinities and may be more efficiently implemented together will be discussed. Candidates with affinities are defined as candidates with similarities in functions or software components. Qwest will also present,at the Monthly CMP Systems Meeting, any complexities, changes in candidate size, or other concerns that may arise during business or system requirements, which would impact the implementation of the candidate. " This language only reiterates the processes as stated above, that Qwest has been directed by the CMP document to define the business and functional specifications in prioritization order.  This process should have begun as of July 26th, 2002. WCom believes the following Qwest statement is highly exaggerated: "Qwest cautions that, if granted, the accelerated nature of the developmentrequired to implement this request will impact CLECs and Qwest. This requestrequires Qwest to attempt to implement an additional Release, including CLECcoding changes, before December 31, 2002. Additionally, if Qwest attempts toimplement two CRs on a completely different timeframe than the rest of IMA12.0 Qwest must divert resources already deployed to IMA 12.0. This resourcediversion and intensified re-application will require a Level of Effortgreater than that estimated prior to IMA 12.0 Prioritization (which assumedimplementation with IMA 12.0 in April 2003), reducing the resourcesavailable for the remainder of IMA 12.0."For starters, given that Qwest may be required to implement these two CRs by year end, WorldCom is extremely curious why Qwest would determine that a vote could wait until September 19, 2002. In addition, as stated above, the development cycle for "Migrate Customers using the Conversion as Specified Activity Type" should not only be well on its way but should be minimal given Qwest's assertion to the FCC that the functionality existed prior to IMA release 6.0. Then there's the "migrate by TN" CR. WCom would like addressed the question surrounding the man hours to implement, given that BellSouth implemented "migrate by TN" functionality in half the man hours.  As well, CLECs have no insight into Qwest development cycle and/or "affinities" processes to know whether this CR has been touched by Qwest development personnel.  That said, it is possible that development has occurred and/or affinities have been identified. On a final note, Qwest's Ex Parte dated 8/13/02 specifically states "The Exception Process, specified in Section 16 of the CMP, provides the ability for a CLEC or Qwest to request a deviation from the CMP.  This process could be used to request expedited treatment or implementation outside of the normal planned release."WCom is attempting to utilize the Exception Process as Qwest defined it for the FCC.  That the two CRs in question be implemented "outside of the normal planned release".  Now that this request has been initiated, Qwest seeks to change the manner in which the process is defined.

The two CRs are:SCR060702-01 Migrating Customers using the Conversion As Specified Activity Type. This candidate was prioritized number two on the IMA 12.0 candidate list.SCR061302-01 Migrate UNE-P Customers by TN. This candidate was prioritized number nineteen on the IMA 12.0 candidate list.In response to WorldCom’s request to accelerate these CRs, Qwest provides the following analysis as to the implications of fulfilling the request. The first notable point is that both candidates are CLEC impacting candidates that by their implementation require that the functions associated with an IMA major release (technical specifications, CLEC interface testing, production migrations, etc.) be performed. Failing to perform these functions would render the candidates unusable by EDI CLECs.Having determined the need to treat these candidates as major release candidates, it should be noted that the IMA 11.0 Release lifecycle is currently in test and hence it is too late to attempt to implement these candidates as part of the 11.0 release. With the schedule for IMA 11.0 release in November, it is not possible to complete the development effort for these two candidates and deliver them in December. The best possible schedule Qwest could achieve for the delivery of these two candidates is to convert the 11.1 point release scheduled for January 2003 to a special major release, include these candidates along with the current 11.1 candidates and deliver them in January 2003. Following this schedule will require the delivery of a SATE special release and the IMA special major release simultaneously, violating the SATE 30-day test window required by CMP and likely impacting the schedule on which PO-19 could be executed. Alternatively, if the SATE 30-day test window is a requirement, the SATE special release could be delivered in January 2003 with the IMA special major release delivered in February 2003. Since this would only result in a schedule acceleration of 60 days, we will assume that WorldCom would prefer to see the candidates delivered in January 2003 and will use that date in further discussions. Much of the discussion does not change regardless of whether the date is January 2003 or February 2003. Approval of this exception CR will create a major IMA release with only one quarter’s notice prior to implementation. Because of this aggressive schedule, EDI CLECs will have to work similarly aggressive development schedules on their side of the EDI interface in order to take advantage of these candidates prior to the IMA 12.0 release.Acceleration of candidates of this nature has implications that arise simply from the requirements of the development process itself. The first of these is the risk associated with the delivery of the release. By accelerating these candidates, you drastically reduce the development lifecycle timeline and thereby increase the likelihood of an issue arising from which the IMA timeline cannot recover, and potentially causing Qwest to fail to deliver the release on the accelerated schedule.The risk associated with the development schedule pertains not only to the software itself, but also to the accompanying deliverables such as documentation. Working under this accelerated schedule, Qwest will not be able to make the CMP required technical specifications delivery schedule (section 8.1 of the CMP document) or the documentation schedule. While a detailed schedule for these deliverables has not been completed, a high level assessment of the situation would indicate that Qwest would miss these dates by at least 30 days in some cases (draft interface technical specifications).The same implications exist for the training schedule. The addition of these products will require revision of the training classes very close behind the revisions required for IMA 11.0. This will cause overlap in the both the training development and delivery schedule that will have to be managed.The second development issue pertains to the shifting of resources from the IMA 12.0 Release to this special major release. Creating this special major release will require the resources currently devoted to IMA 11.1 as well as the diversion of IMA 12.0 resources to this special major release. Because of the additional resources required on an accelerated development schedule, using the high end range of the LOEs for these candidates, Qwest would need to divert approximately 13,000 hours of effort from the IMA 12.0 to apply to this special major release. This would result in the application of 27,000 hours to the IMA 12.0 Release. Based on the application of 40,000 hours to the IMA 12.0 candidate list, Qwest is most likely to be able to complete the top 19 candidates. With the application of 27,000 hours to the IMA 12.0 Release, Qwest is most likely to be able to complete 16 candidates resulting in not only moving these two candidates out of the release, but also loosing one additional candidate. While there have not been any packaging or commitment decisions made for IMA 12.0, it is likely that either SCR062702-03 Autopopulate LSO (Local Serving Office) field in IMA and remove edit that prevents APTCON (appointment confirmation) and LSO field to both be populatedor SCR062702-10 Create a field in IMA that can be checked to flag this LSR is to place a change order on an account where the CSR is not updated from the conversion activitywould need to be dropped from the release.Additionally, there are several CMP issues that are created by using the above schedule for the special major release. The first is the requirement that The Major release changes should occur no less than three (3) months apart as specified in section 8.0, Changes to Existing OSS Interfaces, of the CMP document. Whether the release is delivered in January or February of 2003, this CMP requirement will be violated with the IMA 11.0 and 12.0 dates remaining where they are at today. Having major releases this close together will impact the sunset dates for the major releases under discussion. Section 8.0 of the CMP document specifies thatQwest will support the previous major Interconnect Mediated Access (IMA) EDI release for six (6) months after the subsequent major IMA EDI release has been implemented. Qwest supports 3 production hardware platforms, which, when releases are at least 3 months apart, is sufficient to meet the requirements of CMP. However, under the schedule discussed above, using these three hardware platforms would require the early retirement of both the IMA 10.0 and 11.0 releases. IMA 10.0 will be retired in April 2003 instead of May 2003. Qwest has already received inquiries about extending the sunset date for IMA 10.0 beyond May. These inquiries would have to be denied with the approval of this exception CR. Additionally, the IMA 11.0 retirement date would be moved from October 2003 to July 2003.Another CMP concern involves the requirement to prioritize what candidates will be scheduled for a major release of IMA (section 10 of the CMP document). As described above, the delivery of these candidates requires the implementation of a major release. Invoking this exception process to move the number 2 and 19 candidates from the IMA 12.0 prioritization list into a major release of their own without providing the opportunity required under CMP to prioritize the contents of the new release. Approval of this exception will overrule the outcome of the previous WorldCom exception, which was unanimously approved by the CLECs and Qwest. t should be noted that CMP Redesign Team developed a specific process (SCRP) for the situation in which a candidate or candidates is not prioritized high enough to be slotted into a release that would meet a CLECs desired timeframe. An alternative mechanism for requesting the acceleration of these candidates may be the SCRP process which would involve the application of additional, CLEC funded, resources and would not be as disruptive to the development efforts currently underway.Finally, one additional question has come up that was not answered as part of the above analysis and are included here for completeness.Question: What is the progress to date surrounding these CRs migrate as specifiedbusiness development requirements should have begun as of July 26, 2002. Did Qwest account for the fact that migrate as specified functionality existed prior to IMA 6.0 when estimating its man-hours? Has there been any analysis performed on migrate by TN (synergies?). Are the man-hours established for migrate by TN still considered appropriate?Response: The CR Migrating Customers using the Conversion As Specified Activity Typeis in the Business Requirements phase and is scheduled to complete this phase by mid September. The functionality existing prior to the IMA 6.0 release helps only in understanding some of the complexities of this deliverable. The system changes in each release and the requirements have to be written to support or build upon the current release level. The staff-hours are still valid at the point. The re-evaluation of the LOEs will be done just prior to packaging and any changes in the LOEs will be made available to CMP. The CRMigrate UNE-P Customers by TNis just beginning its definition phase. Qwest defines the CRs based on their CMP prioritized ranking. As with all CRs we look for synergies during the definition phase. A full synergy evaluation would be complete by end of September when the CR is targeted to complete the Business Requirements phase. The staff-hours are still valid at this point. As with the previous CR, the reevaluation of the LOEs will be done just prior to packaging any changes in LOEs will be made available to CMP. ================================================ Date: Sept 10, 2002Eff Date: Immediately: CMPR.09.10.02.F.01324.AdHocMtg

Description Of Change

Pg 18 of the EDI Implementation Guidelines states:

"While it is the CLEC's responsibility to perform a thorough review of all Qwest requirements, Qwest BAs will provide support to clarify issues and answer questions regarding the EDI interface business rules, requirements, and the Implementation Process.

1. The CLEC reviews Qwest requirements as documented in the Disclosure Document and other documents listed in the "Qwest Document Overview" section of this document.

2. Questions arising from the CLEC's review of EDI requirements will be captured on a Question Log by the CLEC.

3. The Question Log, with questions populated by the CLEC, will be submitted to Qwest.

4. Qwest will provide answers to outstanding questions and the CLEC will update the log to reflect their understanding of the answers provided.

5. Qwest will review the answers entered by the CLEC in the log after which the CLEC may indicate that a question may be closed if it has been adequately answered."

In reality, CLECs are required to submit questions on the Qwest provided Questions Log, then Qwest will respond either verbally during scheduled calls or via email. CLECs are then suppose to populate the responses provided verbally and/or email in the response column of the Question Log, send to Qwest, whereby Qwest must approve that the responses are accurate.

The process as outlined adds additional steps that are unnecessary and inefficient and WCom recommends the following change:

That questions arising from the CLEC's review of the EDI requirements be captured on a Question Log and submitted to Qwest. That Qwest provided written responses on the Question Log and return to CLECs.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLE: As soon as possible

October 17, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Wendy Green/Qwest stated that the change was made and was published on October 3rd. The process has been given to our team. Liz Balvin/WorldCom provided a recap of this request. Michael Buck/Qwest asked if there were any concerns to completing this CR? There were no objections.

September Systems CMP Meeting Discusiion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom presented CR and stated that the Clarification Meeting was held. Wendy Green/Qwest reviewed the Response, included in the CR. Stated that Qwest recommends that the CLEC reviews Qwest requirements as documented in the Disclosure Document and other documents listed in the 'Qwest Document Overview' section of this document; Questions from the CLEC’s review of EDI requirements will be captured on a Question Log by the CLEC; The Question Log, with questions populated by the CLEC, will be submitted to Qwest; Qwest will provide answers to outstanding questions and the CLEC will update the log to reflect their understanding of the answers provided; Qwest will review the answers entered by the CLEC in the log after which the CLEC may indicate that a question may be closed if it has been adequately answered. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the proposal is acceptable to WorldCom. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that a version would be going out on October 3, 2002. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the status will be changed to Development and on October 3, will change to CLEC Test. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that if the volume decreases, does not want the process to revert to the 'old way'. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this new process was available to anyone. Wendy Green/Qwest responded yes. WorldCom asked if the majority accepts, is Qwest willing to change the guidelines? Wendy Green/Qwest stated that Qwest certainly could look at that. If turns into the standard process, wants the guideline to reflect the majority of the CLECs. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that CR is currently in Development and on October 3rd, do we change to CLEC Test or Completed? Liz Balvin/WorldCom to leave in CLEC Test so can use the new process for a month or so. Michael Buck/Qwest agreed to leave in CLEC Test and review in October CMP for closure.

-- September 5, 2002 Clarification Meeting Attendees: Liz Balvin/WorldCom, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Wendy Green/Qwest, Beth King/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest There were no questions on the CR Description of Change. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the process outlined in the EDI Implementation Guideline is inefficient; needs a more efficient process. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that there is value in having the CLECs document their answer's to the questions. Would like to recommend, but not require, that the process be followed; does maintain the value in the CLECs documenting the answer's. This ensures that all the CLECs have the same understanding and reduces the possibility of the CLECs interpreting Qwest provided answer's differntly. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the volume has decreased but still feels like it makes more sense to have Qwest populate the responses to the questions. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that Qwest would like to leave the process in place and work with individual CLECs that find the process to be inefficient to them. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that that would be absolutely fine if Qwest won't revert back to the old way. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that that was a fair statement and that the CLECs will then have a choice. Beth King/Qwest agreed with Wendy's statement. Wendy Green/Qwest advised that she will write the Qwest proposal for the guide and send to Peggy for inclusion into the CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated is fine with the proposal and that the CLEC Community will review it at the September CMP Meeting. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that if concurrence is received, Qwest will target for the 11.0 Implementation Guide. There were no other questions or comments.

REVISED DRAFT RESPONSE

September 9, 2002

RE: SCR082802-01 (Change process surrounding EDI Implementation "requirements review activities")

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR082802-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held September 5, 2002) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1 to 10 hours for this Process & Documentation Change Request.

Qwest proposes the following change to the implementation guide language. Current Language: While it is the CLEC’s responsibility to perform a thorough review of all Qwest requirements, Qwest BAs will provide support to clarify issues and answer questions regarding the EDI interface business rules, requirements, and the Implementation Process. 1. The CLEC reviews Qwest requirements as documented in the Disclosure Document and other documents listed in the 'Qwest Document Overview' section of this document. 2. Questions arising from the CLEC’s review of EDI requirements will be captured on a Question Log by the CLEC. 3. The Question Log, with questions populated by the CLEC, will be submitted to Qwest. 4. Qwest will provide answers to outstanding questions and the CLEC will update the log to reflect their understanding of the answers provided. 5. Qwest will review the answers entered by the CLEC in the log after which the CLEC may indicate that a question may be closed if it has been adequately answered.

Proposed Language: While it is the CLEC’s responsibility to perform a thorough review of all Qwest requirements, Qwest BAs will provide support to clarify issues and answer questions regarding the EDI interface business rules, requirements, and the Implementation Process. Qwest recommends the following process to ensure that the CLEC has a thorough understanding of the answer to each question: 1. The CLEC reviews Qwest requirements as documented in the Disclosure Document and other documents listed in the 'Qwest Document Overview' section of this document. 2. Questions arising from the CLEC’s review of EDI requirements will be captured on a Question Log by the CLEC. 3. The Question Log, with questions populated by the CLEC, will be submitted to Qwest. 4. Qwest will provide answers to outstanding questions and the CLEC will update the log to reflect their understanding of the answers provided. 5. Qwest will review the answers entered by the CLEC in the log after which the CLEC may indicate that a question may be closed if it has been adequately answered.

If this process becomes cumbersome to a CLEC, the process can be negotiated to allow the CLEC and Qwest to work together most efficiently while maintaining a CLEC’s ability to thoroughly understand the answers to the questions.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request, the proposal, 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. Upon obtaining consensus to this proposal from CMP participants, Qwest will include the change in the 11.0 EDI Implementation Guide currently scheduled to be published on October 3, 2002.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Provide the capability to secure a CSR based upon submitting a valid ATN. Currently Qwest allows a CLEC to request a CSR based upon submitting the WTN value. This Change Request will (1) allow a CLEC to submit a CSR based on a valid ATN and (2) if the request is by WTN, the corresponding response transaction will also return the associated ATN value. A request by ATN will return CSR details for all working telephone numbers.

Expected Deliverable:

CSR request by ATN will return information for all working telephone numbers. CSR request by WTN will return details for the one particular WTN as well as the associated ATN value if applicable.

Therefore, we can cancel this CR. The data request is simply now to update the SATE documentation. Thanks to Eschelon we got a secondary approval to get that added. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that it is scheduled to be added to the Data Document for Friday, with 11.0. Michael Buck/Qwest stated that the status would be changed to Withdrawn.

October 14, 2002 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom Peggy, Per our testing it was discovered that this functionality does, in fact, exist in Qwest production environment. Therefore, the attached change request can be cancelled. That said, WCom also submitted a data request to have this functionality added to SATE. While it was determine the functionality existed, the documentation doesn't make this apparent. Therefore, WCom will be requesting support from another CLEC to have this documented. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest Internal Line - V625-7305 External Line - 303-217-7305 Pager (888) 900-7221

- Meeting Minutes for the Clarification call for SCR092002-01 held on 10/3/02 Attendees were: Liz Balvin, David Burley from WorldCom, Mark Routh, John Gallegos, Berkley Loggie, Monica Manning, Shonna Pasionek, Qiana Davis from Qwest. Mark Routh/Qwest-started the meeting and asked everybody to introduce themselves. He introduced the Change Request and read the title. Dave Burley/WorldCom- indicted that WorldCom was looking for Qwest to provide the capability to secure a CSR based upon submitting a valid ATN. Currently, Qwest allows a CLEC to request a CSR based upon submitting the WTN value. This Change Request will (1) allow a CLEC to submit a CSR based on a valid ATN and (2) if the request is by WTN, the corresponding response transaction will also return the associated ATN value. A request by ATN will return CSR details for all working telephone numbers. Monica Manning/Qwest-explained to the WorldCom reps that current IMA functionality allows them to retrieve a Full CSR, using a WTN from the account. She also explained that the ATN usually represents one of the WTNs on the account. She asked them to define what they meant by ATN. Dave Burley/WorldCom- explained that ATN is the Billing Telephone Number (BTN). Monica Manning/Qwest-also explained that ATN/BTN information is considered proprietary and not provided in a CSR response. IMA filters the ATN/BTN data from the response. She advised Dave that if WorldCom submits a WTN, LOA/POA and customer name/address, a Full CSR can be retrieved that contains all WTNs on an account. Dave Burley/WorldCom- stated that his testing in SATE only allowed him to retrieve on WTN at a time. Monica Manning/Qwest-suggested that there might be a bug. John Gallegos/Qwest- agreed to investigate and advise WorldCom. John stated that if WorldCom's CSR problems are attributable to a SATE bug, then we might be able to close the CR. John Gallegos/Qwest- indicated that he would get back to them by the October Systems CMP meeting or before if he could get the answer to this issue. He mentioned that maybe this could be handled as a bug fix in SATE. Liz Balvin/WorldCom- noted that she didn’t want to handle this as a SATE CR because it took too long to get a resolution. John Gallegos/Qwest- said he would work with the EDI implementation team for WorldCom and the SATE team on this.

Product Catalog (PCAT)

Qwest Preparation Guides

EDI Disclosure Documentation

LSR Developer Worksheets

Premis Guide for City List

EDI/SATE Error List

and IMA User's Guide

Sources are not always in sync and cross referencing causes delays

Revision received 11/14/02:

Qwest documentation surrounding the build of EDI maps, EDI applied Qwest business rules and testing capabilities be reformatted to be more user friendly and understandable (similar to the Qwest Local Service Order Guidelines (LSOG) and/or the Facility Based Directory Listings User Guide).

Project Meetings

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting An agreement was reached with the CLEC Community in the April CMP Systems Meeting on SCR022703- Single Source Document for implementing ED. This change request will be 'crossed over' to product and process and closed. Qwest agreed to 'cross over' this CR with the caveat that Qwest does not agree that this is Process work and believes it to be a system request. 4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that there is one more walk on to discuss regarding, from Liz Balvin. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was expecting a follow up call from Qwest last month and never got one. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that nothing has changed in regard to this issue. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom submitted process CRs and Qwest unilaterally processed them as systems CRs. Liz stated that if Qwest objected to MCI’s issuing these CRs as Process CRs, then Qwest needs to take this to the oversight committee. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Judy Schultz needs to address this issue and that Judy will be returning to the meeting after lunch. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom wanted the CRs reverted back to Product/Process and sees that it was not done. Liz stated that she does not know if Judy is aware of that. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Judy is aware of your position on that. Lynn stated that from a standpoint of resolution, Qwest’s position is that we would not be escalating on ourselves on an issue that we feel that the decision was made congruent with how we’ve treated these types of issues in the past. Lynn stated that these CRs do need and take systems resources in order to do the work. Kit Thomte/Qwest recommended that we break for lunch and reconvene at 1:00 p.m. MT. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom submitted 3 CRs as document changes and Qwest unilaterally changed them to systems CRs. Liz stated that this conversation has gone round and round. Liz stated that she tried to change the language back in December because she did not want these to impact IMA resources. Liz stated that the Qwest EDI implementation team changes documentation if Qwest finds a problem. Liz stated that if Qwest believes that WorldCom inappropriately sent these as Product/Process, Qwest needs to do something. Liz noted that any time there has been a cross over we’ve agreed to it in this forum and stated that she sees Qwest as out of process and doesn’t know how to better address that. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that it is important to have this discussion and feels that we are at an impasse. Judy apologized if in the past Qwest has made unilateral decisions without communicating those decisions to change the CRs from Product/Process to Systems. Judy stated that Qwest is in the unique position of knowing which it should be and when there will be an impact to the systems. Judy stated that you might think it is just a process change, but we do know our internal systems and can say when a request would really impact a system. Judy noted that on the other hand, some changes come in as systems and we can look at it and determine that it would not require systems restraints and so we suggest crossing those CRs over to Product/Process. Judy stated that an email is sent to state if processed as a Product/Process or a Systems CR. Judy stated that the one issue that we are a little bit apart on is what to do with these systems documentation changes. Judy stated that in Section 8, which describes systems changes, the deliverables do include the system’s documentation, which is Sue’s (Stott) team. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she agrees that the initial documentation to documented system enhancements per release should be included, but this is after it is implemented and a CLEC identifies a flaw with the documentation. Liz stated that in December, she said that the change was not intended to change existing documentation or previously existing versions, we just want issues addressed going forward. Liz stated that resources are required for new release documents, but once the document is used and a defect is identified, they should be corrected. Liz noted that the CLECs work with the EDI documentation team and when an issue is identified, that team fixes the problem. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that her team handles those in the same manner as a production support bug. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that these CR’s are for the issues that the EDI team said Qwest would not do as a bug fix. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that those were ones that Qwest viewed as enhancements rather than a bug in the documentation. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if after a release is implemented and a bug is identified in the documentation, WorldCom sends an email to someone? Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that should go through production support. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the production support help desk would not know this stuff. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they do work with the EDI team and were told to issue these CRs. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that they are not a bug because the information is already there, it is an enhancement. Wendy noted that a lot of the time Qwest fixes issues that a CLEC brings forwards through that team but in this case you were requesting something a bit bigger than simply a clarification or a bug fix. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it is not an enhancement because the documentation is incorrect. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we are disagreeing about a gray area, one side views as an enhancement and one side views as a bug. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that her consumer team is finding this a challenge, they are trying to work with a manual and are feeling the same frustration. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she understands Qwest’s position to not look at every data field so agreed to change the CR. Liz stated that the guidelines are for Qwest to focus on documentation going forward. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that there is a process for documentation issues when Qwest and the CLECs believe that it is a bug. Liz Balvin/MCI stated is for when Qwest believes it to be a bug. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked when it happens that something in the documentation that a CLEC sees as a defect and Qwest doesn’t, would it satisfy the CLECs if going forward as fields are impacted in the course of a release, the documentation would be changed going forward to adhere to those expectations. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that this is currently occurring. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that in reference to this CR, they were told to issue a CR., as well as for the other 2 CRs. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that where it gets gray is when further clarification is needed for a field. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that these items are not gray, they are adding valid values or formats. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that the bigger issue for IT documentation is Qwest has people working on the releases and when they get a request for a documentation update, the people have to be diverted from the release in order to do the documentation updates. Sue stated that maybe the answer is less capacity for a release. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wants to make sure that we’re clear. Judy noted that if there were 200 different fields to update, that would be a big effort. Judy stated that she thought she heard that IT was going forward in trying to follow the proposed guidelines. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that IT does that today and noted that her concern is, if you are an EDI user you are not going to pay close attention to the new release right away and that Qwest will not be made aware of issues until much later. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that Qwest needs to be careful because you cannot update for some products and not all, that would create other problems. Randy stated that we need to look at updates across the board, maybe a legend should be developed. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the EDI documentation is going to come along because you now have users. Liz noted that consistency is an excellent point, if you only do that on one field then it could create inconsistency. Liz stated that she liked the idea of a legend but would need to check with her coders to see if one would work for them. Liz stated that she could possibly only be looking at a specific field and would need a guide to tell her what to look at first. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked what if we do a running cheat sheet. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that we saw that this CR might take us there and started down that path. Then heard that is not what was wanted. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that we have to carefully scrutinize to ensure that a documentation change doesn’t also mean a system change. It is so tightly related, the difference can be as subtle as an and/or difference. Sue stated that is another reason why system resources are needed. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she understands that it is the same resources and is just trying to explore if IT can do a piece at-a-time. Judy asked if there are ever any times when it would be logical do to this kind of work. Is there ever a time in development when we could spend time doing this? Sue Stott/Qwest stated that it would still take systems resources to do that and stated that the issue is if it affects the voting capacity for a release. Sue stated that in many cases the same resources are used for coding and documentation. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if she could update the single source CR with a title change to ‘Guiding Principals to Qwest Documentation on Going Forward Basis, When Documentation Happens’, and will list the 10-items that you say you are using. Liz stated that the CR would then be moved back to Process and the documentation would be done when the regular document comes out. Liz stated that when new documentation comes out in future releases and sees that the guidelines are not being adhered to, and when it severely impacts her ability to do business then she would bring it forward. Liz stated that she would be willing to do that in order to get these off the table. Liz stated that she understands where Qwest is coming from and that believes that Qwest understands where she is coming from. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked how the guidelines would be updated. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they would be closed with this CR and for other items that come up, new CRs would be issued. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if they are to call the Help Desk if problems after in production. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that the documentation team is to be contacted if prior to 30 days after production, after the 30 days, you contact the Help Desk. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that we took the principles and looked at redesigning to be 1 document for both EDI and GUI. Wendy stated that she did not know if that is still on the table. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that that was not the intent of the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if the guiding principles are separate from SBCs document. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that within the current format, will use the 10 guiding principles. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if we should have a ‘guiding principles’ standing agenda item to identify what can be removed from the list. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that things would never be crossed off the list because they are principles and are there forever. Liz Balvin/MCI shared Judy’s concern and stated that they just came across a situation where they reserved TNs in the GUI and submitted the order in EDI. The reps populated the PON manually, typing them in lower case, but went out the door in upper case. Liz stated that it is not documented that they have to be in upper case. Liz stated that it would be helpful to have a tab for Documentation Experiences/Discussion. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there is a tab for design walkthrough’s and we can have one for documentation. Lynn noted that it could have something in it, or not. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she understands Qwests position and stated that she did not know that she could call the Help Desk for documentation issues, that is a value add from this discussion. Sue Stott/Qwest asked that instead of a standing agenda item or separate tab, maybe we could add documentation issues to the SATE portion of the meeting. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that that would be fine. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it could be EDI/SATE. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would review her 3 CRs to see if they are guiding principles. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that if Liz wants to close as a process CR, is ok with that as long as it is noted that Qwest does not agree that this is Process work. Judy stated that Qwest truly believes them to be systems requests. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was not clear on closing the CR as a Process CR. Judy Schultz/Qwest responded that that is what Liz wanted. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that the guiding principles can be closed, Qwest has adopted them. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that when a CLEC submits a CR, Qwest looks at it and determines if it is an impact for Product/Process or Systems. Judy stated that Qwest would email the CLEC if the category is different. Judy asked if that was an acceptable way to communicate. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she did receive emails and that she responded that she did not agree with the assigned category. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked that when the email is sent, what happens if we cannot reach agreement, how do we break that stalemate? Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that in that case, if a CLEC says it is a Product/Process CR and Qwest says that it is not, it could result in a denial based on infeaseability. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that it could result in a denial. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would not be unreasonable. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she is just stating that it could be a risk. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the stalemate is due to the category of product/process or systems, and stated that she thinks that we have flushed out why each of us believes the way we do. Liz asked if these CRs are going to remain as Process CRs as they were originally intended? Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she is ok with the change back to Process and closing it out, with Judy adding a note that Qwest believes the CR to be a Systems change. Judy stated that she has an obligation to represent Qwest’s position. Judy stated that in the future, as CRs come in the door, my team will send out an email with the category, and if you don’t agree you need to let us know and we will call a meeting to discuss. Judy asked if that was acceptable to the CLECs. Liz Balvin/MCI said yes. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked how the CRs that are marked as both Product/Process are to be handled. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that in some instances the CR may be both, could be a systems CR and an MN. Judy stated that if the CR is for both P/P and Systems, the CRPM would ask that separate CRs be issued. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest clarified that all 3 CRs will be crossed-over to Product/Process and will be closed. There were no additional questions or comments.

2/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Judy Schultz/Qwest said that she did not know whether the LOE on this request had been revised. She said that Qwest met internally to determine how much of the LOE was process work and how much was system work. The LOE will be adjusted to remove the process piece. She said that Section 8.0 of the CMP document states that Systems documentation appropriately resides on the System side. She continued that changes to an existing Interfaces and systems documentation whether it is tech specs, release notes, writing the code, etc. is all part of the systems work. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she felt like the team was going round and around. She said that originally, the CLECs said they wanted a single source document and that they wanted Qwest to go out there and review the question log correct based on our various comments. She said that Qwest said this change would bump up against IMA resources. She said that theCLECs took another approach at going forward to determine what needs to happen in the documentation today. She said that there was a meeting and that the CLECs provided examples and guidelines to Qwest so that Qwest could address the issues on a going forward basis. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T was looking at this issue the same way and felt that updating the documents was process work, not system enhancements. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the resources working on these documents are the same resources working on code. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that the CR change description needed to change or that she needed to withdraw the single source document CR and create an action item. She said that the CLECs and Qwest needed to get together and provide a subset of guidelines for a going forward basis. She stated that Qwest continued to see the CLECs wanting a single source document. She said that Qwest needed to understand the CLEC guidelines and readout on the progress associated with reviewing these guidelines. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if WorldCom was still proposing that Qwest combine everything and have one source for GUI & EDI. She said it sounded like Liz Balvin/WorldCom was now asking that Qwest get existing documentation in synch. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that WorldCom never wanted to combine GUI & EDI; they just liked the look of LSOG. She said that they wanted a single source for EDI. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that she understood that there was discussion around the differences between EDI & GUI documentation and needed some clarification around scope. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she did not know how that got lumped together. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they have to be separate. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she remembers specifically asking that the two documents be separate and was told that EDI and GUI would be one source. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she thought Qwest would divide pre-order and order. Lynn Notarianni /Qwest stated that Qwest reviewed the guidelines that WorldCom had submitted and noted that Qwest has been following most of them for the last couple of releases. She asked Liz Balvin (WorldCom) about her request for an action item. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) asked if she was requesting an action item and no CR that would re-do existing documentation. She asked how the process would work for the action item and how documentation would be modified going forward based on the action item discussion. She stated that the items identified as changes to EDI documentation would require Qwest to modify the documentation going forward. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if new CRs would include the LOEs for those documentation changes Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that Qwest had looked at the documentation and agreed that the documentation was lacking in certain areas. She also stated that WorldCom doesn’t believe the LOE should be bigger to accommodate what the CLECs want. WorldCom views that as a process change and that there should not be an impact to the LOE. She said it sounded like Qwest was saying that they would take the LOE out of this CR and add it to the LOE for other CRs. Lynn Notarianni /Qwest said that the philosophical discussion around if documentation is good enough or not is being disputed elsewhere and is not relevant here. She said that WorldCom’s proposal was, for on a going forward basis, the changes to documentation would be part of the existing documentation effort that is included with each candidate. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that many WorldCom’s questions had been diverted to this CR and that they need to find the best way to work this out. She said that they understood that Qwest IT does systems documentation and that they wanted 10 this on a going forward basis. She continued that they did not want this for IMA 10.0, but that they wanted an action item to make changes on a going forward basis. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that they also forwarded examples to Qwest for their review and would like to see some changes on documentation. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that when CLECs do not like the look of the web site, Qwest changes it. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that example is a different group of resources. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that IT would do documentation needed for each candidate and maybe Qwest can take a pro-active approach and provide input on what is lacking. She continued that WorldCom takes a proactive approach to look at how to implement the guidelines going forward. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that clarification of documentation is very different than restructuring documentation. She stated that she was not clear if WorldCom was asking for a restructure or clarification of the document. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the CLECs were looking at both a bit of restructure and a bit of clarity. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that maybe we can separate somehow clarification and restructuring. If there are just specific fields, or areas where changes need to be made, maybe that could be done separately in an action item. Changes associated with structural changes would have to use the CR process. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that they currently work the question log with the EDI team. She asked if the CLECs should now bring the question log to CMP or continue to work with the EDI team. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it makes sense to continue to take these questions to the EDI team. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that we could take an action item to look at the question log and readout after each release to discuss issues. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that WorldCom had the same issue as they work with the EDI team. She stated that the EDI team would sometimes initiate their own CRs and other times tell the CLECs to open a CMP CR.Liz noted that EDI team sometimes opened internal CRs to fix a problem. She continued that from a CLEC perspective they were having difficulty with that. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when Qwest and the CLECs have scenarios like that and have a difference of opinion, CMP maybe the forum where we discuss it. Liz Balvin/WorldCom agreed that the CLECs would like to bring issues to the monthly CMP meeting to discuss. Sue Stott/Qwest said that maybe the CLECs could provide Qwest with examples in advance so that Qwest could be prepared to discuss. Liz Balvin/WorldCom agreed. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that maybe the team could discuss these issues next month. She continued that she did not want to loose sight of restructuring. She stated that AT&T could provide examples as well. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon thinks it would be beneficial for Qwest & the CLECs to discuss some of these roadblocks (i.e., the question log) on documentation when something is not clear. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she could rewrite this CR and put in the specific changes where the EDI implementation team told us to initiate a CR. She stated that maybe AT&T can add their requested changes. She stated that the team could open an action item for ‘generic’ guidelines going forward. Sue Stott/Qwest said this is where she she thought the CLECs wanted restructuring of the document. She said that the easiest way for her team to manage changes going forward is to have a candidate that’s voted in to a release. She said that the field level clarification is very different than restructuring of the documents. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that these are very different work efforts. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that WorldCom understands what is included in the LOE, but asked if it was based on combining EDI and GUI. 11 Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to make sure the CLECs and Qwest were on the same page by holding an additional meeting. She stated that she did not want to wait until the next month to revise the CR. She continued that the team also needed to come up with a process to handle clarification issues. She stated that this could be an ongoing action item on the CMP Monthly Systems agenda to discuss. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if she could issue these changes by tomorrow would Qwest provide an LOE by the March meeting. Sue Stott/Qwest said that Qwest would following the process and provide an LOE. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she still felt that the request was not clear on what WorldCom was requesting. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked how Qwest wanted to address the existing CR. Beth King/Qwest stated that an example of what WorldCom is requesting is all valid values for a field. She said that for ZIP fields on all forms would be a very large effort. She continued that the scope provided for the initial CR captures analysis of all forms/fields and that the LOE was 8000 hours. She said that if you are doing an analysis on a field by field basis then a different LOE would be calculated, but that was not what Qwest understood the CR to be requesting. She stated that Qwest understood the CR to capture all existing forms and fields. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that if they see a discrepancy then WorldCom would take it to the EDI Team. She stated that the EDI team would analyze the question and either agree to clarify or they would ask WorldCom to issue a CMP CR. Beth King/Qwest said that process is correct. She said that the 8000 hours LOE was for a complete analysis and restructure of the EDI developer worksheets. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that the CLECs like the look and feel of LSOG and thought it is cumbersome to leaf through the EDI documentation. She also said that the Bell South and SBC documentation was much easier to go through. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that it took SBC two years working with CLECs to get the document into its current form. Beth King/Qwest said that the effort for the CR is only for the EDI developer worksheets Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there are three ideas being discussed: 1) re-structure, 2) Qwest needed the CLECs to provide Qwest clarity on what they would like going forward, and 3) develop a process for bringing forward issues that the EDI team and the CLECs did not agree on. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest wanted a CR on every issue where we do not agree. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that the CLECs could send a list and Qwest could review and categorize them. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if the global action would address the guidelines that the team talked about in the last meeting. Beth King/Qwest said that the team could address those guidelines whenever Qwest changed a field due to a major release and it is associated with the candidate. She stated that Qwest had been addressing these for the last several major releases, and that the documentation reflected that. She continued that the percentage of the fields changed due to candidates is extremely small. She stated that Qwest’s understanding was that this CR was to apply the guidelines to all existing fields. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she wanted to make sure the team was in synch. She stated that Qwest could review and categorize the issues and determine which items will need CRs and which will be action items. She said that Qwest would follow up with a clarification meeting if necessary. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this was their preference. Judy Schultz/Qwest noted that Qwest has an action item to figure out how to bring issues to this team. She continued that the second action item was for specific current issues that Qwest will review and categorize. She said that the third action item is to determine if a CR will be issued for a restructure. She said that the team also needed to review the original CR to determine to either withdraw or modify it in order to reflect what the request truly is and what the LOE would be. Beth King/Qwest stated that if the request was to restructure the DWS to have the look and feel of LSOG, Qwest feels that they would probably go to a single document rather that keeping two. She continued that the LOE currently supplied is accurate, however, Qwest could review SBC’s document (which looks like the LSOG). She said that Qwest may not want to keep two documents if they are going to look the same. Donna Osborne-Miller stated that she also has a list of similar items and asked if she should send them to Wendy Green for an analysis. Wendy Green/Qwest said yes.

Meeting Minutes SCR093002-05 Single Source Document for Implementing EDI January 28, 2003 1005 17th Street, Denver, CO Meeting Start Time: 10:00 a.m. The meeting began at 10:00 a.m. MT and introductions were made. The purpose of this meeting was to continue discussion regarding the approach for this change request going forward.

Ian Coleman, Allegiance,, Regina Mosley, AT&T, Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T, Carla Pardee - AT&T, Todd Cherminow - Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon, Stephanie Prull - McLeod, Mark Coyne - Qwest, Beth King - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest, Sue Stott - Qwest, Connie Winston - Qwest, Liz Balvin - WorldCom, Phyllis Burt - AT&T, Diana Byrd - AT&T

Meeting Minutes SCR090302-05 Single Source Document for Implementing EDI (Originated by WorldCom) Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that this CR was mentioned in the December and January Systems CMP Meetings and Qwest took an action item to schedule an ad-hoc meeting with the CLEC Community. The objective of the meeting was to gather input and recommendations from the CLEC Community associated with documentation. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that this meeting was for the CLECs to provide input for Qwest to consider on documentation going forward. Liz also wanted to know if Qwest received the examples from WorldCom and Lynn Stecklein said yes and the examples were distributed to the team. Beth King/Qwest stated that as items for this Change Request are prioritized for a release her understanding is these changes would be part of the candidate if it was prioritized for a release. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that this Change Request was originally submitted as a Product/Process request and Qwest processed the request as a System Request. Liz also stated that in the December CMP Systems Meeting, Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that we would remove this CR from the 13.0 Prioritization list and treat this request as a Product/Process CR. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that in the December meeting, Judy Schultz/Qwest agreed to take an action item to review this request further and determine whether we should process this CR as a Product/Process, System or both. She said that we did review internally and determined that it needs to be handled as a System CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she felt we were going in different directions and that she thought we had come to an agreement in the last meeting as to how this would be processed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon had the same understanding and this request is not a system change but a change to documentation. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that AT&T also had the same understanding. Beth King/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this change request is 7000-8000 hours and is a large effort. This CR would have to part of prioritization and would take up a large portion of a single release. Ian Coleman/Allegiance stated that the large LOE could be of concern because it could take up a large portion of a release.

Beth King/Qwest said that Qwest could look at working this CR in a phased approach with staggered deliverables. Beth said that we could look at options such as breaking the work down by Form or by Order Pre/Post. Beth also said that Qwest is reviewing the possibility of a LSOG only release and that his work could be worked in such a release Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that we need to find an alternative and a way to work together. She also said that the CLECs realize that this effort will not happen overnight. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that she would take an action item to get with Judy Schultz to communicate the CLECs concern with processing this CR as a system request. The following examples/issues were submitted by WorldCom and were discussed in the meeting. 1) Interface differences not clear (EDI or GUI), CLECs expect functionality would NEVER differ, need to confirm Beth King/Qwest stated that differences would be explicitly clear. 2) Field level of detail for both inquiry and response transactions lacking (what special characters apply?) Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that when they submit an inquiry, it’s not clear on what is necessary to populate or if something unique is required. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that they would like Qwest to add a source document or link like the Premis Guide. 3) ALL valid entries not provided for each transaction type. Beth King/Qwest stated that this would not be feasible for all fields such as remarks or the address. She said this could be provided where appropriate. 4) Acronyms must be defined. Basic Guidelines - No questions 5) Usage rules must be defined Basic Guidelines – No questions 6) References must defined or have links provided. Like the Premis Guide 7) Complete business rules must provided No questions 8) Restrictions must be clearly defined No questions 9) Lack of business rules to support usage cannot occur. No questions 10) Process established to sync up EDI documentation (disclosure documents and appendices) EDI and the Developer Worksheets sync up – Beth King/Qwest explained the current process for each release is to sync up the chapters for EDI, i.e. Data Dictionaries against the developer worksheets field by field and that process would continue going forward. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated she wasn't aware of the process and wanted to know if this was done currently.

Liz Balvin/WorldCom added that another concern is ensuring the developer worksheets correctly document the way the back end systems worked. She mentioned a current issue they are having when the CSR returns a 7 digit call forwarding number, but IMA requires 10 digits for the order. Beth King/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the list provided by WorldCom and would address these items when the CR was worked. Beth did note that even with this change a document of this size will never be 100% perfect and the production support process during production use or the question log during the EDI implementation should be used if issues are found by the CLECs so corrections can be made. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she did not want to change the current process associated with the Question Log and that Qwest could be more proactive. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that Bill Micou/AT&T expressed that he would like the documentation to have the look and feel of LSOG. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that the documentation could be more user friendly and if so, the handholding by Qwest would be less. She also said that some ILECs provide examples of query and response. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that they have an issue with when something is implemented one way, the Developer Worksheets don’t agree with what is implemented. There appears to be a gap between the Business and IT. Todd Cheminrow/Eschelon stated that he agrees. Carla Pardee/AT&T said that AT&T concurs Beth King/Qwest asked if there were any other questions. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if they could send additional examples of what they would like to see. Beth King/Qwest said that yes and that we would address in the upcoming working sessions. Phyllis Burt/AT&T also said that AT&T would like the information correct to avoid spending a lot of time checking things and that she is not real fond of the tiny print. There were no further questions and the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 am.

1/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that an ad-hoc meeting notification was sent out and that a second notification will be sent with the firm date and details. The reason for the meeting is to initiate discussion and determine approach for this change request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this has gone back and forth and we have some suggestions on how we’d like to see the documentation going forward. She also would like to present these suggestions at the January meeting so we could make some progress with how the documentation will be treated going forward. She stated that she has specific examples of what she’d like to present at that meeting. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T would also like to provide guideline examples. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked that the information be sent to her in advance of the meeting so that can be distributed prior to the meeting. The information can be sent to lsteckl@qwest.com Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said sure. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other comments or questions. None were brought forward. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this action item would be closed.

12/19/02 Systems CMP Meeting Liz Balvin/WorldCom believes that SCR093002-05 (Single Source Document for implementing EDI) should not compete for resources. She noted that WorldCom submitted an Exception CR. WorldCom would like Qwest to have CLEC insight on how we see their documents. We would like to provide guidelines of how they should implement documentation going forward. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that the concern is that this CR is on the list for 13.0 prioritization. She said that it appears that the CLECs and Qwest need to have a series of meetings to discuss documentation going forward. This CR will be revised to reflect what WorldCom is really asking for. Liz is going to withdraw the exception CR Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if we would be willing to withdraw it if Qwest agrees that this would be a process change. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that I don’t know that we can agree that this will be a process change until we look at it further, it might require some systems resources. Beth King/Qwest stated that the first meeting was held last week. We had discussed a new format and that new format would be part of the tech spec, and on that call we agreed that it would be prioritized for completion at a major release. Liz Balvin/WorldCom I think I am hearing different read outs from that call, I understood that we were looking at the LSOG on the GUI as much more enhanced. Beth King/Qwest said that we are not talking the same thing here. At the meeting we reviewed the LOE provided as being a systems release-related LOE. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that the disconnect is because there was some discussion about this at the CLEC pre-meeting and everyone agreed that this is a big deal the way it is written now, and so the CR should be withdrawn from the vote as is, we need to have several meetings to discuss what this needs to look like going forward. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that’s why I’m talking about a process for helping Qwest create a new document, figure out what would be the most helpful and I had originally submitted this as a process change. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that we will take this back and look at it, pull this form the vote, and look at if further. It might be a process change, it might be a systems change, or it might be a combination of both. Please respond to liz.balvin@wcom.com To:cmpcr@qwest.com cc:lsteckl@qwest.com

Subject:FW: SCR093002-05 Single Source Document for Implementing EDI

WCom is willing to change the language in the attached CR to better reflect the intended change. NOTE: The original request was submitted as a "process" CR which is still the intended CMP WCom wishes to follow. As such, the CR would not compete for IMA resources and impact prioritization. The new language should read:

This change request is not intended to modify in any way the current or planned Qwest applications or code to support these systems. In addition, this change request is not intended to be retroactive to current or previous OSS interface requirements. It is intended to be implemented on a going forward basis. The request seeks to require CLEC input such that Qwest understands from a "users perspective" what changes are need to provide "efficacy" as required by the FCC. WCom recommends working sessions with interested Parties as a means to establish ground rules for documentation.

An exception would not be necessary if Qwest agrees with following the Process CMP.

12/11/02 SCR093002-05 Meeting with CLECs Introduction of Attendees Peter Lynch - Midcontinent Communications, Todd Cheminrow - Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon, Monica Avila - VarTec, Candy Skaff - Eschelon, Beth King- Qwest, Wendy Green, Qwest, Judy Derosier - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein, Qwest - Kyle Kirvis, Qwest, Dave Burley - WorldCom, Bill Micou - AT&T, Holly Hogue - BizTelOne, Inc, Stephanie Pruell - McLeod, Regina Moseley - AT&T, Lori Mendoza - Allegiance, Fariba Jafari - Nightfire

Review Purpose of Meeting The purpose of this meeting was to discuss SCR093002-05 (Single Source Document for Implementing EDI. WorldCom is requesting Qwest documentation surrounding EDI maps, EDI applied Qwest business rules and testing capabilities be reformatted to be more user friendly and understandable.

Beth King/Qwest wanted to know if everyone was able to look at the URL's that were provided (LSOG and Developer Worksheets). Everyone said that they had. Beth King provided an overview of the LSOG and the Developer worksheets and the way they exist today. (For detail on differences see the following URLs: Customer Service Record Inquiry (CSR): Go to the LSOG URL at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/lsog.html, then download the Customer Service Record Inquiry (CSR) Appendix A in the 11.0 Disclosure Document: Go to http://www.qwest.com/disclosures/netdisclosure409.html and download in 11.0 Appendix A Developer Worksheets PreOrder

Beth King/Qwest stated that the LOE of 7000 - 8000 hours reflects work for a single source document and the LSOG type format.

Dave Burley/WorldCom explained that this change does not change any application and/or function that Qwest provides today. Dave also explained that WorldCom submitted this request due to the fact that they found differences and contradictions in field values, etc. WorldCom would like to move towards the LSOG type format.

Beth King/Qwest noted that if this CR was prioritized, it would be scheduled in a major release and that if prioritized the work would be a joint effort to ensure that the document reflects the CLECs input.

Beth King/Qwest asked if there were any questions up to this point and stated that if there were no questions now, the CLECs could take there feedback back to their CMP representative.

Candy Skaff/Eschelon stated that she agrees with what has been discussed in this meeting and raised a question about versioning. Beth King/Qwest said that yes, we do need to be concerned about versioning and that versioning would be addressed.

Dave Burley/WorldCom stated that this would not be a short term effort and would require input and effort from both sides, Qwest and the CLECs.

Bill Micou/AT&T asked if it would be necessary to rebuild, for example version 10, and Beth King/Qwest said no this would be going forward only.

Lori Mendoza/Allegiance asked if the differences would be provided for EDI and GUI. Beth King/Qwest stated that the 1 document would include differences.

Bill Micou/AT&T stated that the LSOG format is far superior to the Developer Worksheets and that AT&T would support the LSOG format.

Dave Burley/WorldCom reiterated that sometimes they would find the same field with different definitions. He stated that this document would be an all inclusive document but Qwest would not be expected to include every single value for a field (using the class of service as an example).

There were not further questions and everyone understood the vision going forward with this request.

Peter Lynch/Midcontinent Communications asked when this CR was submitted. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that the CR was submitted on September 30, 2002, presented by WorldCom in the November CMP Systems Meeting and is elegible for the 13.0 prioritization that is scheduled December 19, 2002.

11/21/02 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin-WorldCom reviewed the CR. She stated that there was a lot of confusion around documentation. She stated that WorldCom wanted one document with the business rules and mapping instructions. She indicated that they realized that there would be interface differences, but that there would need to be a clean up effort.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that there would be significant format changes too.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that the format would be similar to FBDL.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that this CR was requesting a huge change to documentation and that it had a large LOE. She stated that many EDI CLECs were used to the current format.

Beth King-Qwest stated that there was a level of detail in the current format and that this CR would bring about a major change in format.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that during the 12.0 packaging meeting there was a discussion around the line item for EDI documentation and conversion. She stated that she understood the large LOE, but that it was part of Qwest requirement to provide documentation. She stated that she thought that Qwest should cover the hours of the change outside of the release.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that WorldCom was the only EDI CLEC asking for this change.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that her company had also struggled with documentation. She then added that she received a Level 2 notification that she was concerned with.

Beth King-Qwest stated that the notification was a change to the IMA GUI web site. She stated that the web site used to have links to developer worksheets and that Qwest was moving the links because GUI users do not utilize the developer worksheets. She stated that this change was to clean up the web site.

Stephanie Prull-McLeod USA stated that McLeod had also struggled with LSOG, PCATs, and developer worksheets. She stated that developer worksheets were very different from PCATs.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that she was not suggesting going to PCATs for development.

Beth King-Qwest stated that the PCAT is a very different level of information.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that she did not want documentation to reference other documents. She stated that Qwest had taken note of many of the issues and that they needed to address them.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the team could continue using developer worksheets.

Beth King-Qwest stated that they could. She stated that there would be versions with releases and that the changes would be made to content.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked for examples of WorldCom’s proposed change.

Beth King-Qwest stated that once the CR had gone through prioritization and had entered into the design phase, then Qwest could complete an example.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked why it would be prioritized because it was not a change to a system.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that EDI disclosure was part of a major release and that this CR was asking for a major documentation change. She stated that there would need to be a lot of change on the CLEC side too to accommodate for the changes.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that under the current process, if a document change was identified then Qwest would just make the change. She stated that documentation was required by the FCC.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that many CLECs are using the current documentation for EDI.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that CLECs were using the documentation provided. She continued that she thought it would benefit everyone to have one clean document.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that if the CR is prioritized then there would be approval steps during the design process to make sure that everyone is clear. Connie Winston-Qwest indicated that Qwest would take an action item to review if the CR could be part of a formal release or in a parallel effort. She stated that Qwest would review the structure and that the CLECs and Qwest would need to design together and create a sample.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that other ILECs did this and sited Southwestern Bell. She stated that it took them over a year to complete the documentation clean up. She stated that they had separate documents for pre-order and order.

Beth King-Qwest requested input from other EDI CLECs.

Louis Davidov-DSET stated that he had never had a problem with the documentation and stated that he thought that looking at LSOG was a waste of time. He continued that even though there was other documentation out there, 90% of the time it wasn’t needed. He stated that he had been working with IMA EDI since version 4.2. He stated that if LSOG were included then they wouldn’t know what to code with.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that combining the documents could be confusing for EDI users. She suggested having a conference call with all EDI users.

Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that she was confused because she had been told that the documentation was confusing.

Louis Davidov-DSET stated that he had been an EDI developer for over 5 years and he had never had a problem using the documentation. .

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that there needed to be an offline discussion about the technical implications of the CR. She stated that she was concerned with the people who coded EDI and their use of a combined document. She stated that a call would be set up between the next two meetings to discuss this issue further.

Terry Bahner-AT&T stated that AT&T would like to attend.

Kit Thomte-Qwest stated that the CRPM would set up the meeting.

Revision received 11/14/02: Qwest documentation surrounding the build of EDI maps, EDI applied Qwest business rules and testing capabilities be reformatted to be more user friendly and understandable (similar to the Qwest Local Service Order Guidelines (LSOG) and/or the Facility Based Directory Listings User Guide). That interface differences (GUI vs. EDI) be identified but that LSOG applied business rules be in sync.

11/14/02 Additional Clarification Meeting Attendees: Liz Balvin - WorldCom, Dave Burley - WorldCom, Beth King - Qwest, Kyle Kirvis - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Introductions were made

Review Requested (Description of Change) Lynn Stecklein reviewed the request and the purpose of the additional clarification call. Qwest has done some initial analysis on this request from WorldCom and would would like to share the findings and ask additional clarifying questions. Beth King stated that Qwest completed the analysis on the EDI Implementation Question Log that was sent by WorldCom and determined that no questions relating to the PCAT have been submitted by WorldCom. Many questions have been asked about the differences between LSOG and the Developer Worksheets and appears to be the primary concern. Beth King stated that the LSOG was intended to be intended for IMA manual and GUI users, not for EDI. Beth also reviewed the EDI disclosure document, Premise Guide, Error List and the IMA User Guide. She asked if Qwest were to put specific verbiage with links to the EDI Disclosure Document on the LSOG Web Page and in each LSOG document would this make if more clear. Liz Balvin said that is only one aspect to why is wasn't clear to use. She also said that the EDI information is not adequate. Dave stated that the LSOG Guides are very useful and is impressed. He also said that WorldCom prefers the LSOG and FBDL format because they are easy to follow. Dave also stated that the concern is not the differences between the specific fields in the LSOG and DWS, but the difference in the formats and level of detail in content. WorldCom also understands that there will be field differences.

Establish Action Plan Beth stated that the change request does not reflect the discussion we have had today.She recommended that WorldCom revise the CR to accurately capture what WorldCom is requesting. Liz said that she will work with Dave and send the revision within the hour.

10/9/02 Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Liz Balvin - WorldCom, Wendy Green - Qwest, Beth King - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Introductions were made

Review Requested (Description of Change) Lynn Stecklein/Qwest reviewed the request. WorldCom is looking for a single source document for implementing EDI. The change request noted that at a minimum, the following documents are provided by Qwest for EDI implementation: PCAT, Qwest Preparation Guides, EDI Disclosure Documentation, LSR Developer Worksheets, Premis Guide for City List, EDI/SATE Error List, and IMA User Guide. WorldCom stated that these sources are not always in sync and cross referencing causes delays. WorldCom would like Qwest to provide a single source document with necessary requirements to build EDI maps, understand Qwest business rules, test and implement EDI.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that the EDI Team told WorldCom to use the Disclosure Documentation. WorldCom said that the Documentation is not clear enough and they have to use other sources. Liz Balvin stated that in the SBC Territory for EDI implementation they have Pre-Order and Order Documents. SBC also provides links within that Documentation to other documents needed for EDI Implementation.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved - All appropriate personnel participated in the clarification meeting.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation Wendy Green/Qwest said that for EDI coding, WorldCom needs to be using the Disclosure Document and not the Qwest Preparation Guides. Wendy Green also said that Qwest would like to see specific examples because the Disclosure Document should be providing the information necessary for EDI Implementation.

Wendy Green/Qwest stated that there is a link in the Disclosure Document to the PCAT. Wendy Green also stated that the LSR Developer Worksheets are part of the Disclosure Document

Wendy Green/Qwest asked if WorldCom used the Premise Guide to determine valid cities and Liz Balvin said yes. Wendy Green said that Qwest could put a link/reference to the Premise guide in the city field in the Worksheet.. Wendy Green also stressed that Qwest does not want to end up duplicating information across documents. This will lead to dual maintenance of documents and increase the risk of out of synch errors. The Premis guide is used by groups other than CLECs implementing EDI. Wendy Green also said that the Error List is just a list of errors and a source of reference.

Wendy Green/Qwest brought up the 73 day disclosure timeline. The errors list needs to be a separate document because the information for the errors list is not available at 73 days. If the errors list was incorporated into the Disclosure Document. Qwest would be unable to publish this portion of the document at the 73 day timeline.

Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked what the difference between IMA and EDI.

Wendy Green/Qwest stated that the only difference is the GUI

Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she would provide examples of discrepancies.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests None

Establish Action Plan - WorldCom will present this change request in the November Systems CMP meeting.

Description Of Change

Qwest to implement the changes contained in TCIF document 98-006 Issue 2 Revision 1.

Implement an Interactive Agent that conforms to TCIF document 98-006 Issue 2 Revision 1.

Additional Information:

The TCIF published the Interactive Agent Functional Specification

for Issue 2. TCIF, ANSI and The ITU-T have all adopted the Issue 3 IA Spec.

An Interactive Agent (IA) is a set of processes that runs on one

(or more) of an ILEC's and a CLEC's computer systems. It serves

as one of the logical interfaces between two companies doing

business together electronically. It should be noted that the IAs

transport data transparently. They don't modify it or interpret

it - they only deliver it.

The IA in one company receives EDI data from one of its own

company's upstream systems. It makes a request across the network

to the other company's IA for a connection. Once the connection

is established (through a "handshake" protocol) the originating

IA then sends the EDI data to the peer IA at the other company.

The peer IA verifies that the data was received without error and

sends it upstream to one of its EDI systems for translation and

processing.

The receiving IA then initiates a disconnect of the session.

(This disconnection process is where all the fuss is.) The

original IA specification (which Quest is still using) left out a

step in the procedure that would assure that the disconnection

process would always occur in the correct order. The later

version of the specification (which WorldCom uses) corrects this

error by inserting one additional step in the procedure for one

IA to disconnect from the other.

If the disconnection procedure is not executed correctly by both

parties, internal problems begin to occur intermittantly in one

or both IAs, causing degraded performance and then finally a need

to stop and restart the IA system(s).

The particular step that was missing in the original spec

guaranteed that the right sequence of steps would occur,

regardless of timing considerations and network delays. In a

large number of transactions, especially in those relationships

that have low volumes, the timing of events work out that the

right series of steps happens. It's only when certain

combinations of events occur (usually in high volume situations)

that the steps get out of sequence and the errors start.

3/14/02 John Murphy from WorldCom wrote:

With one major exception (see below) the two revisions are compatible.

The exception is noted on the Revision History Page as follows:

1. Section 7.8 - It was determined from reading protocol traces that a "race" condition exists if the current protocol is followed. The IA Server may attempt to close the socket before receiving the Client's SSL Close, causing an incorrect closure of the connection. This can result in either "Close Wait" or "Fin Wait" errors and prevent Session Resumption. To correct this problem, an additional step has been added to the IA Server session closure sequence in Section 7.8, Server Disconnect, between "SSL3 CLOSE" and "Socket CLOSE".

The step necessary to implement this correction to the protocol is quite simple and straight-forward. It typically requires a very small sequence of steps added to the IA Server module to implement. I will be happy to provide further insight on this to you or any one else that is involved at Qwest or any software suppliers.

Regards, John

3/29/02 Clarification meeting held.

In attendance were: LeiLani Hines - WorldCom John Murphy - WorldCom Mary Hunt - WorldCom Mark Routh - Qwest Deb Osborne - Qwest Jerry Mohatt - Qwest J.J. Bradley - Qwest

John started by providing a background on the TCIP standard. He related that the current standard is the TCIF issue 2 R1 document. The TCIF issue 3 R2 document is also a current standard but is not fully implemented across the industry at this time. He confirmed that TCIF issue 1 R0 has been withdrawn as a standard and all ILECs and CLECs should be using Issue 2 R1 at this time. These standars can be referenced on the web at http://www.atis.org/atis/tcif/5tc00a03.htm.

John also mentioned that he is the Vice Chairman of TCIF and would be happy to take any calls from technical staff concerning these standards.

Gerry Mohatt asked if going to the Issue 2 R1 standard would have an impact on CLECs that were not on the standard yet.

John indicated that a CLEC had properly coded their systems for the Issue 2 R0 standard, that they would not be impacted by an ILEC or CLEC going to the Issue 2 R1 standard.

Jerry also asked if this was prioritizable by the CLEC as an IMA change.

It was discussed that even though this change will impact the IMA EDI interface, because it is an industry standard, it may be elligable to be implemented prior to IMA 12.0.

This will be discussed at the April Systems CMP meeting.

Mary,

Attached you will find the description depicting how our IA vendor corrected the problems which were addressed with Section 7.8, Revision 1, Issue 2. Our IA was corrected approximately a year before Revision 1 was published.

Basically, I am asking that we remove the CR from the CMP scope as Qwest does not believe there is an issue with its compatibility regarding Issue 2, Revision 1. In addition, I have recapped a comment from the Clarification Meeting held on March 29th in which John Murphy states Revision 0 and Revision 1 are compatible. Could you please let me know by Noon tomorrow (via e-mail) if WorldCom will be withdrawing CR # SCR032202-2 from the CMP CR Issues list.

John Stated, "If a CLEC has properly coded their systems for Issue 2 Revision 0, that they would not be impacted by an ILEC or CLEC going to the Issue 2 Revision 1 standard."

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Project Meetings

12/19/02 December Systems CMP Meeting Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the clarification meeting was held with Qwest. We found during the call that there is a documented process for getting to TAXI. She also finds it disappointing that we came to CMP with this question and were told to submit a CR. The information is very minimal on the web site and that there is no reference to TAXI. She said that WorldCom will be working with Qwest to access TAXI and that they have the correct software. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she is requesting that the documentation advising the CLECs that they have access to TAXI be cleaned up I would like this change request to be re-written to clean up and clarify the document to let the CLECs know that they do have access to TAXI. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that it sounds like this CRs needs have been met, so we will close this CR and take an action item to making the information more accessible and clear to the CLECs. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if we want the action item to reside in Systems or on the Product/Process side. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she felt it should reside on the product/process side and would like it added to the CMP document and have it noted where to find the CLEC Resource Guide to OSS interface.

Review Requested (Description of) Change WorldCom is requesting access to Terminal Access for Interexchange Inquires (TAXI)

Sue Bowler/Qwest stated that Qwest met with WorldCom in Tulsa and said that Annett Fox/WorldCom could not get access to TAXI and felt that there was something wrong at the customers end preventing them from access to TAXI. Annette Fox/WorldCom said that they could only get so far. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that the CR was requesting access to TAXI. Qwest does provide access to "OnLine Billing/Terminal Access Interexchange Inquiry (TAXI) and referred everyone to www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/iabs.html. In addition, the process and other information associated with obtaining a secure ID etc.is located in the CLEC Reseller Resource Guide To OSS Interfaces. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that maybe she should not have issued a change request but was told to submit a change request in the monthly CMP Systems meeting. WorldCom said that they would review the documents to determine if they need to do something further on their end (I.e. obtaining secure Ids). Fred Howard/Qwest also said he would be willing to assist WorldCom as the IT interface to walk them through the process

Confirm Right Personnel Involved Fred Howard/Qwest said that he would work with WorldCom as the IT interface

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation WorldCom is requesting access to TAXI. Qwest does provide the CLECs access to TAXI.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests None

Establish Action Plan WorldCom will present this change request in the December Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest will validate any and all secure Ids that WorldCom currently has today. Fred Howard/Qwest will provide WorldCom technical assistance when needed.

RE: SCR112702-01 Provide CLECs access to Terminal Access for Interexchange inquires (TAXI)

Qwest held the clarification call with WorldCom to review SCR112702-02 Provide CLECs access to Terminal Access for interexchange inquires (TAXI) on December 10, 2002. During the call, Qwest advised WorldCom that the CLECs do have access to TAXI. Based on information shared during the clarification call, the participants agreed to the following action items to determine why WorldCom cannot gain access to TAXI.

WorldCom will review and walk through the steps to gain access to TAXI outlined on the following websites www.qwest.com.wholesale/clecs/iabs.html and the CLEC/RESELLER Resource Guide to OSS Interfaces located on the Wholesale Resources Website. Qwest will validate any existing secure Ids that may exist for WorldCom. Fred Howard/Qwest will work with WorldCom on any technical issues and will provide IT expertise when or is needed.

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 working diligently to address and to provide the most accurate information to WorldCom in order to close this change request.

Sincerely, Qwest

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR is denied based on economic unfeasibility.

- March 12, 2003 Email sent to Liz Balvin/WorldCom: Hi Liz -- I am attaching a copy of a Systems CMP CR that looks like it could accomplish what you are asking for with your WorldCom submitted CR, SCR112702-02. Actually, the request is a little different but I believe that the end result would meet your need for SCR112702-02. Would you please review the AT&T submitted request that I am attaching and provide your thoughts. Would it in fact meet your need for SCR112702-02? Here is some information regarding the AT&T CR (SCR022703-12 Line Loss Notification - 836 EDI): Currently, CLECs receive a Loss & Completion's Report to alert them that they have lost a customer. This (AT&T) request would allow the CLECs to receive a 836 EDI transaction code to alert them that they have lost a customer and therefore will not to have to wait on the L&C report. Thank you Liz. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

-- February 25, 2003 Email sent to Liz Balvin (WorldCom): Good Afternoon Liz, I am following up on your submitted CR, SCR112702-02. Last Friday at the end of the XML Presentation you mentioned that there was a WorldCom meeting scheduled for Monday, February 24th to determine how WorldCom wanted to proceed with this request. You mentioned that WorldCom would be making a determination as to whether you wanted to proceed with the CR as is, modify the CR, or withdraw your request. Are you at a point where you can provide status as to your decision? Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

February 21, 2003 CLEC Community Meeting - 2 of 2 (1 of 2 was held on February 13, 2003) Introduction of Attendees: Ian Coleman, Allegiance Terry Lee, SBC Mary Sosdick, SBC Chris, SBC Lori Mendoza, Allegiance Liz Balvin, WorldCom Beth Foster, Qwest Wendy Green, Qwest Gary Veik, Qwest Lynn Notarriani, Qwest Steve Eddy, Qwest Rob Mitchell, Qwest Bennet Pang, Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed, Qwest

Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) stated that the purpose of this call was for a discussion regarding XML as an electronic interface and stated that revised documentation was provided via the notification process (CMPR.02.19.03.F.01423.XMLPresentation). Peggy introduced Bennet Pang (Qwest) to present XML and lead the discussion. Lynn Notarriani (Qwest) asked Liz Balvin if she was expecting WorldCom technical resources to join the discussion. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if there were any WorldCom technical personnel on the bridge. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that none had yet joined the call. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated to go ahead and proceed with the presentation. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that this was a technical discussion only and that Qwest is not making a proposal with this presentation. Bennet Pang (Qwest) reviewed the revised documents. There were two documents provided via attachments to the notice: Loss & Completion Technical Discussion Presentation v2 and XML Technical Discussion Appendices v2. Please refer to the notice for presentation details. A summary of the PowerPoint presentation: QWEST CURRENT OFFERINGS: 3 Delivery Methods and File Formats ALTERNATIVES to REPLACE NDM: Delivery Methods and File Formats EDI PROs and CONs XML PROs and CONs TML TRANSPORT GATEWAY BENEFITS XML BENEFITS XML IS A VIABLE LONG TERM ALTERNATIVE A Summary of the Appendix Document: APPENDIX A - Sample Loss Report Flat File Layout APPENDIX B - Sample XML Schema for Completion Report APPENDIX C - Sample XSLT to Transform the XML Loss Report to Comma Delimited File APPENDIX D - Sample XML Loss Report APPENDIX E - Sample Comma Delimited File Output Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that if you take Appendix C, apply it to Appendix D, the result is Appendix E.

Bennet Pang (Qwest) again stated that this presentation is intended as discussion only and is not a proposal. Bennet Pang (Qwest opened the bridge for Open Discussion: There were no questions or comments brought forward. Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) asked Liz Balvin (WorldCom) due to her submitted CR prompting this discussion, if she had any questions or comments. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that she has no additional questions, as she attended the previous discussion (held February 13, 2003). Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that she has a good grasp of where Qwest would like to go Liz (WorldCom) stated that she is attending a meeting on Monday, February 24th, to determine if WorldCom is in agreement; if they will continue to move forward with the CR as is, modify the CR, or withdraw the CR. Liz (WorldCom) stated that she would know next week what direction WorldCom wants to pursue. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that Qwest welcomes and encourages feedback and input from the CLEC Community, as it is helpful, to Qwest, in going forward with any technological changes. There were no additional comments or questions. The call was concluded.

- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the Action Item can be closed. Peggy stated that there was a meeting held on February 13, 2003 and another meeting has been scheduled to take place on February 21, 2003. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the action item is now closed.

- February 13, 2003 CLEC Community Meeting - 1 of 2 (2 of 2 is currently scheduled for February 21, 2003) Introduction of Attendees: Liz Balvin, WorldCom E. Beamus, WorldCom Terrance Morgan, WorldCom Deb Garcia, SBC Clay Quentin, Quintessent Sharon Van Meter, AT&T Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon George Hooper, USLink John Gallegos, Qwest Nancy Conant, Telecordia Chris Foster, McLeodUSA Varsha Kelkar, New Access Carla Pardee, AT&T Dan Rosedahl, New Access Marcia Lees, SBC John Berard, Covad David Lueck, New Access Samantha Kratzet, Qwest Lynn Notarianni, Qwest Michelle Ketke, Eschelon Jennifer Arnold, USLink Regina Mosely, AT&T Donna Osborne-Miller, AT&T Stephanie Prull, McLeodUSA Steve Eddy, Qwest Rob Mitchell, Qwest Randy Owen, Qwest Bennet Pang, Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed, Qwest

Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) stated that the purpose of this call was for a discussion regarding XML as an electronic interface and stated that documentation has been provided via the notification process. Peggy introduced Bennet Pang (Qwest) to present XML and lead the discussion. Peggy asked that questions be held until the open discussion at the end of the presentation. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that he is the primary Qwest representative at the TCIF forum. Bennet stated that this was a technical discussion only and that this was not a proposal. Bennet Pang (Qwest) reviewed the documents provided via CMPR.02.11.03.F.01419.XMLPresentation, dated February 11, 2003. There were two documents provided via attachments to the notice: Loss & Completion Technical Discussion Presentation and XML Technical Discussion Appendices. Bennet stated that Appendix C may be provided prior to the call scheduled for February 21, 2003. Please refer to the notice for the details. A summary of the presentation is: QWEST CURRENT OFFERINGS: Delivery Methods and File Formats ALTERNATIVES to REPLACE NDM: Delivery Methods and File Formats EDI PROs and CONs XML PROs and CONs TML TRANSPORT GATEWAY BENEFITS XML BENEFITS XML IS A VIABLE LONG TERM ALTERNATIVE APPENDIX A - Sample Loss Report Flat File Layout APPENDIX B - Sample XML Schema for Completion Report APPENDIX C - Sample XSLT to Transform the XML Loss Report to Comma Delimited File.

Open Discussion Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that WorldCom was under the impression that that XML had been discussed, at OBF, for ASR only and has not yet been discussed for LSR. Steve Eddy (Qwest) asked Liz, out of curiosity, why WorldCom is interested in Loss and Completions via EDI. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated that currently receives Loss & Completions via NDM but would like to receive the reports via EDI. Liz stated that the reports would be better in synch & would be easier to load things. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) asked if WorldCom currently receives the Loss & Completions Reports via NDM from other ILECs. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) stated yes. Varsha Kelkar (New Access) asked what was involved in getting TML Transport, and asked if the Service Delivery Gateway could be used. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that the process is still being developed. Bennet stated that this is a web access type software. Bennet stated that this discussion is only to gauge if this is a good thing to do. If it’s deemed that it is, Qwest can look at providing the Loss and Completion Reports in XML format. David Lueck (New Access) asked that after the gateway is developed, how long would it take Qwest to implement and transport data. Rob Mitchell (Qwest) stated that Qwest expects to have the XML format available prior to the gateway. David Lueck (New Access) asked how early that the CLECs would be notified. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that the normal notification process would be followed and stated that if the CLECs would need more time, Qwest would certainly work with the CLECs. Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) asked if this discussion was only to get a level of interest of going to XML. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that when Qwest received WorldCom’s CR, based on the request, Qwest started looking to see if it made sense to move towards the new technology. Lynn stated that WorldCom’s CR prompted us to start looking to see if we wanted to get entrenched in EDI when the industry is moving towards XML. Lynn stated that this discussion is to communicate that XML is out there, to answer questions regarding XML, and to determine if it makes sense to move forward with XML or not. Lynn asked where the level of interest was for the CLECs and Vendor’s. Lynn stated that Qwest will continue to move forward with WorldCom’s CR (SCR112702-02) as it is, but Qwest needs to look at possibly moving in another direction. Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) asked if the development of the Loss & Completion Reports in XML, if it is just for that little piece. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that yes and that the purpose of this call is not to come to any decisions. John Berard (Covad) stated that Covad would like the Loss and Completions Reports either in EDI or XML. John stated that the current process is labor intensive. John stated that he was advised that Verizon West has an EDI format with XML messages in it. And asked if that could be done. Steve Eddy (Qwest) stated that it can technically be done but he is not aware of who is doing it. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that can put an ISA envelope over an XML transaction; can pass to an XML translator instead of an EDI translator. John Berard (Covad) stated that he wants to ensure that Covad won’t have to work differently with each ILEC. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that Qwest would like to discuss XML with Verizon West and asked Covad for a contact so Qwest can better ensure a standard. John Berard (Covad) stated that he would check whom that contact would be. John stated that if a method has already been developed, Covad would like Qwest to use the same one. George Hooper (USLink) asked if the XML changes would be for the Loss and Completions Reports only and all other NDM would remain the same. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that the Loss and Completion report is currently NDM and that WorldCom’s CR is requesting that the Loss & Completion Report be over EDI. Lynn stated that Qwest has not yet responded to the method of delivery but that Qwest is not likely to maintain multiple interfaces. Lynn stated that if the Loss and Completion Report goes EDI, Qwest would then not likely support NDM. Lynn stated that if this CR gets prioritized, Qwest would like one way to provide the Loss and Completion Reports. David Lueck (New Access) stated that New Access prefers XML and stated that Qwest is pursuing the right track. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that that is helpful to know. Marcia Lees (SBC) asked if will be able to pull down like it shows on page 6/7 of the Appendix. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that yes, and that Appendix B is a Schema and stated that if you have special software, is an easier readable file. Bennet stated that he would try and provide a sample. Marcia Lees (SBC) stated that she agrees with a previous statement that the current process is very labor intensive. John Berard (Covad) stated that they work with spreadsheets today and they would like to get away from that. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked if Qwest is moving away from NDM. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated no and that WorldCom’s CR has prompted this XML as a discussion. Lynn stated that Qwest would not like to maintain multiple interfaces. Liz Balvin (WorldCom) asked that if there is interest in XML, would Qwest move away from NDM. Lynn Notarianni (Qwest) stated that we would like to but would need to consider all the factors. Varsha Kelkar (New Access) stated that currently the Loss and Completion Reports are not loaded on the same site and asked if XML would have them in the same place. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated yes, they would be retrieved from the same location. Varsha Kelkar (New Access) asked if the site would have one file or several months. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that does not know if the process would change. Bennet stated that the CLECs would get the same as they currently get, would just be via XML. Chris Foster (McLeodUSA) stated that currently gets Loss and Completions via NDM and that they currently send & receive OSS activity across a dedicated circuit. Chris asked if that would remain the same with XML. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that yes, the circuit would not change. Chris Foster (McLeodUSA) asked if it would be straight XML. Bennet Pang (Qwest) stated that the information would be in XML, will have an XML wrapper/SOAP transported via HTTP(s). Chris Foster (McLeodUSA) stated that McLeod wouldn’t want to fix what is not broken and stated that EDI vs. XML, from his perspective, based on the points already made – XML is more desirable. There were no other questions or comments. Peggy Esquibel-Reed stated that additional questions can be sent via pesquib@qwest.com and stated that that can also be brought to the next call, scheduled for February 21, 2003. The call was concluded.

- February 5, 2003 Email to Liz Balvin/WorldCom from Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest Liz, If there is documentationn that can be provided, we will definitely distribute it prior to the first call.

February 5, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom Peggy, Per our conversation, please verify that Qwest will provide information prior to the first meeting date. Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

February 5, 2003 Email to Liz Balvin/WorldCom Good Afternoon Liz -- Thank you for responding to Kit's and my voicemail message so quickly. As a follow-up to our discussion I just want to make sure that your concern was addressed. My understanding of your email, after our discussion, is to ask that Qwest provide documentation to the CLEC community prior to the call so that you have the opportunity to discuss with your OBF representatives. I would like to assure you that we are looking to see if there is documentation that we can send to you prior to that call, outside of what OBF may have already provided. Based on our discussion, a subsequent call is acceptable to WorldCom and will be scheduled. The notice with the proposed dates and times for the subsequent meeting will be sent tomorrow, February 6, 2003. Please do not hesitate to call either myself or Kit Thomte if you have other concerns in regard to this matter. Kit can be reached on 303.896.6776. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications

February 5, 2003 Liz Balvin/WorldCom spoke with Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest and stated that her concern was regarding Qwest providing documentation prior to the scheuled conference call. Peggy advised Liz that any applicable documents would certainly be provided before the first scheduled call takes place. Peggy asked Liz if she had any other concerns. Liz responded no. Peggy asked Liz if she had any issue with a second call being scheduled. Liz responded that she had no issue with an additional call.

Februsry 5, 2003 Voicemail left for Liz Balvin/WorldCom, from Peggy Esquibel-Reed & Kit Thomte/Qwest: asking Liz to return call to discuss WorldCom's concern with the date & time of the CLEC call. Message also stated that there would a an additional conference call scheduled due to the special circumstances, as stated in 2/4 email to WorldCom..

- February 5, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom WCom is disappointed in Qwest's position and that our OBF representative will be unavailable for this meeting. Given Qwest states the "industry's move towards XML as the electronic Interface", these representatives would supply critical information necessary to determine the proper course of action. That said, WCom requests more details surrounding this meeting be provided by Qwest such that WCom, and others, can seek input from our OBF reps prior to this meeting. Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

February 4, 2003 Email to Liz Balvin/WorldCom Good Afternoon Liz, I received your email requesting that other dates be considered for the ad-hoc meeting to discuss SCR112702-02 (Provide Loss and Completion Reported Information in EDI Format). Based on feedback from the CLEC Community, it appears that the originally proposed dates will work for the majority of the CLECs. The meeting will be scheduled to take place on the preferred date and time of Thursday, February 13, 2003. The notice is currently being processed with the meeting logistics. However, due to the special circumstances regarding the originally proposed dates, Qwest will host a subsequent meeting to ensure that those attending OBF will have the opportunity to participate. Another notice will be sent with the proposed dates and times for the subsequent meeting. That notice will be sent to the CLEC Community this week.

Thank you for bringing the OBF and Holiday issue to my attention.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

January 30, 2003 Email Received from Liz Balvin/WorldCom Peggy, Regarding: SCR112702-02 (Provide Loss and Completion Reported Information in EDI Format) OBF is hosting a meeting for the 13/14th dates. In addition, 2/17 is a Holiday for WCom. Therefore, please consider additional dates whereby sufficient attendance (specifically OBF representatives) can be achieved. The date and time proposals for this ad-hoc meeting are listed below. Thursday, February 13, 2003 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. MT Friday, February 14, 2003 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. MT Monday, February 17, 2003 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. MT Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

January 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would like to have an ad-hoc meeting to discuss the electronic interface and stated that XML may be the next direction. Connie stated that Qwest may not want to move everything to EDI if moving towards XML. Connie stated that she would like the discussion to include Qwest and CLEC technical staff and would like to have the discussion prior to moving forward with this effort. The CLEC Communtiy agreed.

-- December 19, 2002 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that they don’t have the capability today to receive the Loss and Completion Report and would like to get it in an EDI format. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if this would mean moving off using NDM She also stated this would be a significant change and would everyone want all of these interfaces (Paper, NDM, EDI) up and working. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they get theirs through the GUI and asked what is NDM. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that NDM sends flat files. I would assume you want it EDI so that you can do something with the information. With NDM, you’re not doing anything with the data, much like a GUI. In addition, to Connie Winston/Qwest’s point would you want to maintain both. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon would certainly support this CR as they are moving to EDI. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said that AT&T uses the spreadsheet and we have people reviewing the NDM capability. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we don’t have the LOE for this CR yet. We would be interested in maintaining only one interface. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T prefer EDI as well. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T said possibly. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would let you know as we move forward with this. John Berard/Covad asked if this is specific to Loss & Completion. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes.

Review Requested (Description of Change): Qwest currently sends Loss and Completion information via NDM. The request is to provide the same information but in EDI format. Expected Deliverable that the Loss and Completion information be provided in an EDI format.

Confirmed Interface: Loss and Completion Report

Confirmed Products Impacted: All Products

Confirm Right Personnel Involved - All appropriate personnel participated in the clarification meeting.

Clarification Discussion: Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that WorldCom is currently getting the information via NDM and she understands that Qwest does not support it in EDI format, but other ILECs do support it. Joan Pfeffer-Qwest asked if WorldCom receives the Loss and Completion Reports daily. Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that yes, they do. Liz stated that this request is really to ask specifically for the Loss Report but at the last CMP Meeting it was stated that she should ask for both. There were no other questions or comments.

Establish Action Plan - Liz Balvin/WorldCom to present this change request in the December Systems CMP meeting.

CC: Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR112702-02, dated 11/27/02, titled: Provide Loss and Completion Reported Information in EDI Format.

CR Description: Qwest currently sends Loss and Completion information via NDM. The request is to provide the same information but in EDI format.

Expected Deliverable: That Loss and Completion information be provided in an EDI format.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Tuesday December 10, 2002 with WorldCom and Qwest representation. Per discussion held at the CMP Monthly Systems Meeting on January 16, 2003, two ad-hoc meetings were held on February 13, 2003 and February 21, 2003 to discuss the industry movement towards tML for electronic interfaces.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR112702-02, Provide Loss and Completion Reported Information in EDI Format, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. This request would require Qwest to develop a new EDI interface to the Loss and Completion report requiring Qwest to maintain 2 separate electronic interfaces (NDM and EDI). Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be $500,000 and would also require significant maintenance costs and additional resources which Qwest estimates would be around $50,000 per release of EDI.

Considering that the information is currently available to CLECs via electronic transport (NDM) for Loss and Completion reports, Qwest is denying your request for SCR112702-02, Provide Loss and Completion Reported Information in EDI Format based on economic infeasibility.

Sincerely,

Lynn Notarianni Information Technologies Senior Director Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE December 11, 2002

RE: SCR112702-02 Provide Loss and Completion Reported Information in EDI Format.

Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of WorldCom’s Change Request SCR112702-02, which aims to provide the Loss and Completion reported information in EDI format. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held December 10, 2002) it has been determined that additional research is needed. Qwest will provide an updated response at the January Systems CMP Meeting.

Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. 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

CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

Z-Tel is requesting the ability to migrate customers as specified without having to list changes to the customer’s current feature set. For example, when placing a customer migration order with Qwest, we are required to list the old line class of service with a feature activity code of ‘change from’, and list the new line class of service with an activity code of ‘change to’. In addition, we must list all change and removes for all of the existing features on the account and adds for all of the new features that do not currently exist on the account. This practice is commonly referred to in the industry as a migrate as is with changes, not a migrate as specified. Z-Tel needs the ability to convert customers as we specify without having to list and map changes, adds or removes. SBC, Verizon, and BellSouth all provide this pure migrate as specified capability for UNE-P customers and we are asking Qwest to do the same.

Expected Deliverable:

The ability to truly migrate a customer as specified.

REVISION: Z-Tel is requesting this change for Qwest Retail to UNE-P POTS, as well as, Resale to UNE-P POTS, UNE-P POTS to UNE-P POTS, and any other CLEC to CLEC UNE-P POTS migrations.

Project Meetings

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this item was included in the IMA 12.0 Release. John noted that the post deployment call was held and that there is no open issue regarding this CR. No comments. CR changed to 'completed' status.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if Qwest will truly provide 'end state' and will complex features still require a change from/change to. Connie Winston/Qwest asked for clarification on what is meant by complex features. Liz balvin/WorldCom responded call forwarding. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that yes, with the CLEC providing the correct floated FID data for the requested feature. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that that was very good news. There were no other questions or comments.

February 19, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom asking for walk-on discussion at February Systems CMP Meeting: ZTel's CR Migrate as specified cr #SCR060702-01. It is not clear whether CLECs will be able to truly request "end state" view on migration orders. CR specifically requests the "ability to convert customers as we specify without having to list and map changes, adds, or removes (referring to features)" but it appears that complex features will continue to require a change from to change to requirement.

December 19, Systems CMP Meeting Discussion (12.0 Commitment and Design Walk Through portions of the agenda): Connie Winston/Qwest said that we have talked about this quite a bit. The CLECs will put Ns next to the end state. We will figure out what that means on the LSR vs. the CSR.

August 22 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Walk-On Item = Connie Winston/Qwest - In regard to one of the CRs in 12.0, item #2 SCR060702-01. During definition, we confirmed that you can, in the migration to UNE-P, put a D next to the feature or leave it blank. Either way it will be removed. There was a question if it was really necessary to put a D - or if you leave it blank will it do the same thing. We see CLECs doing it both ways, if you leave it blank we assume you don't want it and remove it. There was some confusion to the CLECs. The D is not required, it is optional, and we did send a communicator on August 15th. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - this is the migrate as specified CR that is still out there? Connie Winston/Qwest - yes. There was a question if the D was required. The CLECs wanted it to be optional. It is optional. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - but the CR is still being worked? Connie Winston/Qwest - yes, we are still doing definition on this, we just wanted to clarify this is optional. Liz Balvin/WorldCom - it’s not really a process change, you are just clarifying what exists today is as it should be. Connie Winston/Qwest - yes.

July 18, 2002 CMP Meeting Minutes: Justin Laughlin/Z-tel reviewed this change request. Z-Tel is requesting the ability to migrate customers as specified without having to list changes to the Customer’s current feature set. Michael Buck/Qwest said that WorldCom also had an interest in this CR and asked if they wanted to add anything. Sherry Lichtenberge/WorldCom stated that WorldCom strongly believes this needs to be addressed. They also believe this is being done by every other ILEC except Qwest. Sherry Lichtenberge/WorldCom also said that this is a critical piece of how they do business. They strongly support voting this high and ask that other CLECs do so as well. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that Qwest used to support this type of order activity in our systems. Qwest found that the CLECs would not pull the CSR to see what was on the account. Qwest had to delete everything not on the account. When a feature did not work the CLECs got upset. Qwest then forced the recap function. Qwest will have to delete anything in the CSR that is not included, then everyone will need to be prepared to face the potential wrath of the customer when things break. Sherry Lichtenberge/WorldCom said that is exactly what WorldCom wants. We are prepared to deal with the customer if we make those errors. The fact that you used to do this should make it easy to put back in. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the latter is not true but appreciates their perspective. Terri Wicks/Allegiance asked if the Products impacted should be updated. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the Products impacted should be updated to reflect ‘All Migration’. Jeff Thompson/Qwest asked if the CR would be easier to do as a subset. Connie Winston/Qwest stated the LOE was based on UNE-P POTS. Justin Laughlin/Z-Tel said that it would not do us any good if you do not do it all Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it-would make sense to include resale. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that anything that is not on the flow through exclusion charts would be included in this scope. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said you would have to adjust the LOE to add resale. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the technical team would have to do that. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if there would there be any reduction in the LOE if it were for residential only. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she did not know without reviewing the LOE. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T also said that they would like to have business included to prioritize higher. Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that if we agree on the scope that we just outlined, Qwest will use the existing LOE on the ballot. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the LOE would be validated before the ballot goes out.

- July 9, 2002 Email from Michael Reith/Z-Tel: Z-Tel would like to make the following clarification to it's CR #SCR060702-01. We don't believe it changes the nature initial request. Our intent is to clarify that the CR includes all types of migrations to UNE-P POTS. This is the language we'd like to add: Z-Tel is requesting this change for Qwest Retail to UNE-P POTS, as well as, Resale to UNE-P POTS, UNE-P POTS to UNE-P POTS, and any other CLEC to CLEC UNE-P POTS migrations.

-- Clarification Meeting June 18, 2002 Attendees: Michael Reith/Z-Tel, Jackie Jones/Z-Tel, David/Launch Now, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, J.J. Bradley/Qwest, Marlene DiManna/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Kathy Rein/Qwest Michael Reith stated that the request is to do migrations with changes. David stated that the request is to have the capability to send only the features that they want and not have to specify the changes. J.J. asked if there were no changes to existing features, they don't want to list them? David stated that they do not want to specify changes. J.J. asked how they would communicate the features to be on the account? Kathy asked that if a feature is not specified, should it be removed from the account? David responded yes. Peggy Esquibel-Reed asked if this request was for UNE -P POTS only. Response was yes, UNE-P POTS only. Monica Manning asked to clarify that the request is to send conversion requests with the features identified that are to go forward and if that the features were not on the request, they are to be removed from the account? David responded yes. Michael asked a question of David: what if an item is not currently on the account? David responded that what is being listed on the request could include a new feature. Monica asked if the request would recap the features in existence to keep and new features to add would be shown as add on the LSR? Michael stated that all features on the request would be shown as add. Existing and new features will be shown as add. Monica asked what activity does Z-Tel see the request for. Michael responded conversion as specified where all features are listed as add. Monica asked if would only use conversion as specified as activity type? Z-Tel responded yes. Monica confirmed that if only going to identify the features going forward, existing & new, the LSR will show all with the same activity? Michael responded yes. There were no other questions.
