EXPECTED DELIVERABLE: As soon as possible CONFIRMED IMPACTED INTERFACE: CEMR CONFIRMED IMPACTED PRODUCT’S: Line Sharing, Line Splitting, UNE-P, and Resale DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) opened the bridge for questions and/or comments. John Berard (Covad) stated that UNE and Loop could be removed from the CR. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated the CLECs are on the line to increase the products if there is a need. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that the products could be extended to any service once the order has been placed, thru the provisioning process. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) stated that the second criteria, for MLT, is connectivity to a Qwest switch. Barbara stated that the line needs to be connected to a Qwest switch in order for MLT to be provided. Barbara stated that line splitting is not on Qwest’s switch. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated it comes out of the Qwest switch. Mike stated that is only for products that utilize the Qwest switch. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) asked if Covad was looking to have MLT done as a matter of course as part of the provisioning process or on an individual case basis. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that what Covad is looking for is that once the LSR is submitted and accepted, Covad should be able to request the MLT. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that the CLECs want access to MLT, is asking for MLT capabilities at the point in time that Qwest gets an accurate LSR. Mike Zulevic (Covad) further stated, even if the order has not yet completed. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that if Covad doesn’t mind, Eschelon would like to add UNE-P and Resale to the impacted products.

Barbara Brohl (Qwest) asked to confirm that the originators would have access to IMA and to CEMR. Jamal Boudhaouia (Qwest) responded yes, the provisioning groups would have access to both IMA and CEMR. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that as soon as Qwest acknowledges receipt of an accurate LSR, once the FOC is sent, the CLECs want access to MLT. Jamal Boudhaouia (Qwest) asked for line splitting, which is the responsible CLEC? Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that it is Qwest’s position that the customer of record, the voice provider, would have the MLT access. Mike stated that the customer of recorder could be another company, vendor, or CLEC and that it is transparent to Qwest. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: This Cr to be presented at the July Systems CMP Meeting. The call was ended.

- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mike Zulevic/Covad presented the CR and stated that the CLECs need the best available information possible before a firm commitment is made to their customer. Mike stated that Covad considers the customer to be their’s once they get the request from the customer. Mike stated that they need access to MLT at that point. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked to confirm that once Covad gets an LSR ID, Covad considers it to be Covad owned and at that point is when you want MLT access. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated yes. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if this was for the purpose of the CLEC completing their provisioning. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that it gives the CLEC another opportunity to look at the loop. There were no additional questions or comments.
