Owner: Winston, Connie
Director:
CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy
Description Of Change
To allow EDI processing for customers with border town phone numbers that currently are being processed manually through GUI, because the Central Office (CO) has to drive the order instead of the actual end users NPANXX. Processing orders with CO NPA creates various issues with MCI in maintaining account. All MACDs have to be manually handled including financial orders.

Expected Deliverable:

MCI would like to see a system change by year end 2005

March 8, 2005 Email Received from MCI: Peggy, Answers below Rosalin 1) Can you give us some information regarding the sentence that reads 'All MACDs have to be manually handled including financial orders'? I am not familiar with a MACD, so can you help me understand the relationship of a MACD to a bordertown? ANSWER: MACD (Maintenance, Add, Change, Delete) transactions.

2) When there is an issue with a MACD, do you receive an error message that the bordertown order cannot proceed? ANSWER: Yes What is the error message that you receive? ANSWER: NO CSR FOUND

3) Can you further define ‘financial orders’ and what the issue is for a financial order for a bordertown situation? ANSWER: Customer suspend for nonpayment or restoral requests.

4) Can you give me a percentage of orders that you are having this issue with, in regard to bordertowns? ANSWER: I would say it averages about 5%

- Clarification Meeting - February 11, 2005 ATTENDEES: Rosalin Davis-MCI, Chad Warner-MCI, Patricia Guernsey-MCI, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Randy Owen-Qwest, Carol McKenzie-Qwest, Terri Kilker-Qwest, Susie Wells-Qwest, Anne Trees-Qwest, Russ Urevig-Qwest, Qiana Davis-Qwest, Jo Wees-Qwest Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest reviewed the CRs Description and asked if MCI had additional information to share. Rosalin Davis-MCI stated that there was no additional information. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked to confirm that this request impacts the areas of Pre-Order, Order, Billing, Maintenance & Repair, and Provisioning. Rosalin Davis-MCI stated yes. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked to confirm that the impact is to IMA EDI only. Chad Warner-MCI stated that the request is for both IMA EDI & GUI. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked to confirm that the impacted Product was UNE-P QPP. Rosalin Davis-MCI responded yes. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked if there was a specific UNE-P QPP Product. Rosalin Davis-MCI stated that the request was for UNE-P POTS QPP Qiana Davis-Qwest asked if the BTN NPA that MCI was referring to was the end user dialable NPA NXX. Rosalin Davis-MCI stated yes. Randy Owen-Qwest asked to confirm that the CR is not for EDI processing, it is requesting that the manual process be automated and is asking to change how orders are processed. Chad Warner-MCI responded yes. Patricia Guernsey-MCI gave an example scenerio stating that MCI's issue is if they submit an order to migrate a customer from Qwest's platform to MCI's platform and issue the order with an NPA of 218, they receive an error because the CSR was not found. Patricia stated that they need the functionality to send orders using NPA NXXs and for Qwest to accept the orders with that NPA of 218. Qiana Davis-Qwest asked to confirm that based on the conversation, that IMA is the only system impacted and that MCI expects no changes to be made to any downstream systems. Rosalin Davis-MCI responded yes, Qiana's statement is correct. Jo Wees-Qwest stated that the UBL Product was a circuit ID and not NPA NXX, so asked to confirm that UBL was not in the scope of this CR. Qiana Davis-Qwest stated that UBL did not have an NPA NXX assignment. Chad Warner-MCI stated that there is a big impact in IMA EDI & GUI for UNE-P QPP POTS. Chad stated that MCI's interest is for UNE-P POTS QPP but that other CLECs may request that other products be included. Chad asked if other CLECs would be able to add products to this request. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that if other products are asked to be included, Qwest would consider the products and depending on the impact to the Level of Effort, MCI may choose to have the additional products included or excluded from this CR. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked for additional questions and/or comments. There were none. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that this CR is due for presentation, by MCI, at the March 16th CMP Meeting. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest then stated that the Expected Deliverable on the CR indicates that MCI would like to see a system change by year end 2005. Peggy stated that this is a change to IMA and that IMA is a prioritizable system, so this CR would need to follow the prioritization process and is then eligible for 19.0 prioritization. MCI asked when the 19.0 Prioritization would occur. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the 19.0 schedule is yet to be determined. The call was then concluded.
