Description Of Change

Allegiance is requesting that a process be developed by Qwest to allow CLECs to be able to request and receive from the CSR center a full CSR for all TNs for a specific End User at a specific location that has Resale Centrex lines. The CLEC would only need to submitting one WTN and the address in order to receive the full CSR that would include all WTNs and feature detail at that address for that End User. Currently the only capability to the CLECs is to pull partial CSRs by WTN. When all WTNs are not known, there is no way to ascertain that all TNs have been accounted for before submitting an order to Qwest to convert.

Subject: Allegiance - CSRs for Centrex Resale PC 092701-2 Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 11:58:52 -0600 From: "Wicks, Terry" To: "'Rick Martin'"

Rick,

Per our conversation last week, here is my suggestion for the manual process for Qwest to develop so that CLECs can get full CSRs on Centrex Resale accounts:

I would like to be able to email a single point of contact at Qwest, a form that shows the following:

1. Customer Name and Service Address 2. Any WTNs that we know of 3. A box or section to be checked that we have an LOA from the End User 4. Some type of verbiage stating that we want Qwest to list all WTNs for that End User at that address 5. Qwest would then list ALL WTNs for that End User at that address and email it back to the requestor at Allegiance

All we want is to confirm all WTNs for a particular End User at a specific address. We will pull the partial CSRs for each WTN through IMA once we have confirmed with Qwest that we have all WTNs at that address.

To me, this should be a fairly simple process to get all WTNs for a Centrex Resale customer.

I don't have Monica Manning's email, so if you could forward this to her for me. Thanks

1.0 Introduction of Attendees 1.1 Terry, Monica, and Kate 2.0 Review Requested (Description of) Change 2.1 Develop a process for CLECs to get a “full” CSRs on DID numbers. 3.0 Confirm Areas & Products Impacted 3.1 3.2 Areas: Pre-Ordering / Ordering Products: Resale 4.0 Confirm Right Personnel Involved 4.1 Monica Manning is the ‘owner’ of this CR and will be the point of contact for future problems of this nature until the root cause is established and draft response issued. 4.2 Susie would like to stay informed as to response and is available for questions pertaining to her area. 4.3 Terry Wicks would like to stay informed as to response. 4.4 Kate will coordinate all necessary clarification meetings, complete meeting minutes, and review, forward, and send information to Mike Keegan and Matt Rossi to store to database. 5.0 Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation 5.1 Monica learned from Jeff Thompson that what he discussed with Terry deals with retrieving CSRs in IMA by common DPA or ALI codes. She needed more clarification regarding their discussion so an additional clarifying meeting was held today. Jeff’s suggestion of using DPA or ALI codes to retrieve information would require modifying IMA screens, hence causing a systems change and would become a systems CR. Terry stated that if this is a systems change, then Allegiance would like a work-around. Monica will look into a work-around option. 6.0 Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests 6.1 No related system CR’s were identified 7.0 Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) 7.1 Monica will look into work-around options and create a written formal response draft. She will forward this documentation to Kate by 10/26/01. 7.2 Kate will review and forward the response draft to Mike Keegan and Matt Rossi to store in the CR database. This information can then be reviewed and discussed by the CLEC Community at the following CMP Meeting. 7.3 Terry can then review and discuss the response at the next CMP meeting. Corrections/updates can then be made at that time.

DRAFT RESPONSE For Review By CLEC Community and Discussion at November CMP Meeting

Wholesale Product Marketing

November 8, 2001

Terry Wicks LEC Manager Allegiance Telecom, Inc

This letter is being sent in response to CLEC Change Request Form # PCR092701-2. PCR092701-2 pertains to a request for a process to get Full CSRs on Resale Centrex lines.

An IMA System Change would be required, in order to allow CLECs to request a Full CSR for all telephone numbers for a specific end user at a specific location. For the Resale Centrex account, DPA or DEPT and LOCN selection criteria might be added to the Review/Retrieve CSR functionality in IMA. However, a Systems Change Request would need to be created for these enhancements.

Until the IMA system changes can be deployed, you had requested that QWEST develop an interim process for obtaining end user specific Resale Centrex CSRs. Because a mechanized process does not exist, our service center personnel would have to gather this information manually. Unfortunately, QWEST does not have the resources to devote to these kinds of special requests. As long as a CLEC has the appropriate authorization, full CSRs can be retrieved through IMA. In lieu of the full CSR, partial CSRs by WTN can be retrieved. When a CLEC is unable to identify all WTNs associated with a request, the end user customer will have to be the provider of the information.

Sincerely,

Monica Manning IMA Process Specialist
