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.

Project Meetings

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.

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.
