Description Of Change
Covad’s top priority CR for prioritization in release 13.0 (SCR 101802-02 Ability to submit Line Sharing, Loop Splitting LSRs with TN only) was ranked 19th as a result of voting by Qwest and the CLEC community. Covad’s second most important CR (SCR 111102-02) received a ranking of 14th, placing it ahead of the CR most important to Covad’s business needs. Both CRs have a similar LOE in the 1000 to 2100 range. Covad requests that it be allowed to reverse the results of the prioritization for these two CRs so that our most important CR (SCR 101802-02) has a better opportunity of being included in release 13.0. If, as a result of the WorldCom Exception Request, (which if granted will reverse it’s prioritization vote) Covad SCR 101802-02 is ranked higher than Covad’s second most critical request, SCR 111102-02, Covad will withdraw this Exception Request.

Excerpt from meeting minutes from January CMP Systems Meeting:

Walk-On Covad Prioritization for IMA 13.0 Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that in the 13.0 prioritization, Covad has 3 CRs in the vote. Mike stated that what has happened is that Covads #1 priority came out well below their #2 priority. Mike stated that they have roughly the same LOE. Mike asked if they are both Covad sponsored, would it be acceptable to swap the two if one would make it and the other wouldn’t. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Covad would need to submit an exception CR. Judy stated that what will be a factor into the yes/no vote is timing. Judy stated that IT is off and running and we certainly do not want the release jeopardized. Judy stated that we are able to vote yes on WorldCom’s request due to timing. If it were a couple weeks later, we could not do it. Judy asked Covad to submit the exception CR ASAP and Qwest would calculate. Connie Winston/Qwest asked Covad what their first, second, and third priorities were. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that first is SCR101802-02, second is SCR111102-02, and third is SCR112002-01. Liz Balvin/WorldCom noted that if you used the high end LOEs, based on her calculation, his #2 would only make it. If you use the low end of the LOEs then both would make them in. Randy Owen/Qwest asked if a sponsoring CLEC changing their own vote order violate the process. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that an exception request can always be submitted and there is the possibility that the vote would be to not accept the request because it would require a unanimous yes vote to accept it. Judy stated that the CR would be a one-time only exception. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that Covads CRs seem to have synergies so Qwest may package together anyway, but we were thinking the exception process would get this done sooner than waiting until packaging. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he would submit an exception CR to swap positions of 2 CRs in the vote.
