Brett Bode-Qwest said that we are not changing the options and that we are just making changes to the formatting.

Kim Isaacs-Integra said that a note was added in the Direct CLEC to CLEC connections that the LOA is required. Kim asked if the LOA is e-mailed with the application or do you fax it in.
