Description Of Change

With the May 20, 2013local release, several fields were removed from use in the CenturyLink LSOG including the field LSR:AUTHNM. However, this field is still present in the current XML publications. When attempting to submit an LSR converting lines from a different CLEC, CenturyLink returns an error stating that “AUTHNM is required” despite this field no longer being available per the LSOG. Furthermore, even if the AUTHNM field is populated (which should be valid per the current XML) the PON is still sent back for the error “AUTHNM is required”.

Expected Deliverables: Sync the CenturyLink published information in the LSOG and the XML guidelines so that CLECs will know which information is correct. Reinstate the AUTHNM field in the LSOG or update the LSOG to indicate another appropriate location for this information.

Project Meetings

3/19/14 Product Process CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR was a cross over from System CR SCR020514-1X that occurred in the System meeting last month. After review with Granite and Integra, it was determined there was not a system issue but a clarification needed to be made to the documentation. Mark said CenturyLink sent a level 1 notification on February 27 which was effective immediately to update the Port In PCAT. The notice identified that some providers require an authorization name in order to port a number to a new provider and in that case, the authorization name must be placed in the Remarks field. The CR is currently in CLEC Test and CenturyLink would like to move this CR to Completed status. Mark asked if there were any objections. There were none.

2/19/14 Systems CMP Meeting Jhett Jones – Granite presented the new CR that is associated with IMA Release documentation. Jhett said he thinks the XML documentation is out of synch with fields that were removed from the LSOG May 2013. Jhett said their concern is the AUTHNM field that is causing some order problems when converting from a losing CLEC to Granite. An error is received from CenturyLink that AUTHNM is required. Jhett said this request is to synch up the LSOG and XML documentation.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink relayed that a clarification call had been held on February 13, 2014 and that during that call, it was determined that the system documentation was correct. Susan said the suggested approach was to cross this CR over to a Product Process CR and that CenturyLink would like to make an update to the PCAT to add clarification around the use of AUTHNM. Susan asked if that plan was still agreeable to Granite.

Judi O’Day – Granite said that was still agreeable.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said that we believe this documentation update is not related to a change in process but is only adding a clarification to the PCAT and CenturyLink would like to send a level 1 notice that would be effective immediately.

Kim Isaacs – Integra asked whether if updates would be to the Port In PCAT and whether the update was to show that AUTHNM should be placed in the Remarks vs. the AUTHNM field since some carriers may require it.

Janean Van Dusen – CenturyLink said yes, those are the updates that would be made to the Port In Business Procedure.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said a lot of investigation has occurred associated with this ordering situation and that CenturyLink would then be sending a level 1 notice to make the documentation update.
