Description Of Change
Currently Qwest only offers Coordinated Hot Cuts on the unbundled product. Qwest should offer the option for coordination when a customer is converting from a facility based CLEC to CLEC Resale when new facilities are required. This would be handled with a Completion Call. This type of request would come through IMA and require the development of a new USOC. Qwest's offering to this request will include an LNP Completion call to be placed by the outside field technician when new facilities are used. Once the Qwest work is finished, the Resale/UNE Provider can then proceed to dispatch to the premise as needed.

Project Meetings

12/19/02 CMP Systems Meeting Kit Thomte/Qwest we’ve had a couple of discussions over the last few days on the CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon thought this CR had been denied and wanted Qwest to provide a status in this meeting. What we’ve agreed to do, Bonnie would still like some changes outlined here, we would like to close the existing systems CR, resurrect the original Product/Process CR, deny it, then create a sub-CR under the Product/Process CR with an MN suffix so that the things that Bonnie wanted would be addressed in the sub CR Judy Schultz/Qwest- noted that Section 5.7 of the CMP Document states that if there is a systems change request with a manual process available, then a parent-child relationship would be created. The reason we went that route is that Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon felt that the original request was a deny and did not want to start with a new date. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that when this CR was originally opened, we were optimistic that it would happen, and it was crossed over to Systems to add a USOC. The systems CR does not apply any more. She also stated that it was very important to me because I asked for a specific product. Qwest stated that they are unable to fulfill that request so the CR has to be denied. They have some solutions that will alleviate some of the pain, so part of what I asked for can be provided. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon if they are asking Qwest to do a coordinated hot cut. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon noted from unbundled to resale or UNE-P. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked how is that different from what we’re building with Joan Wells/Qwest now. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that is just with port-in. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T asked if we have clarification that the loop that the CLEC is using is a Qwest loop - Qwest is not going to reuse the facility. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that the problem is you have the potential of a customer working at two switches. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that when we open this MN CR, we’ll bring that it forward to the next meeting and make sure we have all the right people on the telephone from Product and Process. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T stated that the CLEC to UNE-P CLEC discussion (with Joan Wells) might help to see how we handle those orders.

Clarification call was held on 4/26/02 with Eschelon.

Attendees were:

Kathy Stichter - Eschelon Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon Mark Routh - Qwest Systems CRPM Jerry Mohatt - Qwest IT Project Manager J.J Bradley - Qwest Business SME

Mark opened the meeting and indicated that the intent was to make sure that Eschelon was aware of the fact that this CR had been moved over from the Product & Process CMP and was now being tracked as a systems issue. He mentioned that this CR would impact IMA and would be eligible for prioritization in IMA 12.0. Bonnie clarified that there are two processes; reuse of facilities and new facilities. This CR was to address new facilities. She stated that Qwest retail is creating a new product for Coordinated Hot Cuts that are being moved from the CLECs back to Qwest switch. She wanted to insure that when the product is created for the Retail business, it is also available to the retail business at the same time. Mark mentioned that a new USOC for this product will be created and that there is an action item open to insure that the new product will be made available to the wholesale market when it available to retail.

CenturyLink Response

Qwest will create a new USOC for Coordinated Hot Cuts on New Facilities. They will make the necessary changes to the IMA interfaces and all necessary back end systems when this candidate is prioritized in a future IMA Release. Qwest will insure that the new product that results from this change will be available to the wholesale markets at the same time that it is made available to the retail markets.
