Description Of Change

Eschelon requests that External Documentation Requests be tracked and archived on the Qwest Wholesale web site. Currently External Documentation Requests are tracked and archived internally at Qwest. Eschelon believes having this information available on the Qwest Wholesale website would be valuable to the CLECs and Qwest. Having the External Documentation Requests tracked and archived on the Qwest Wholesale web site would decrease duplicate requests and decrease unnecessary calls and emails to the documentation team regarding the status of external documentation requests.

Expected Deliverable: Track and Archive External Documentation Requests on the Qwest Wholesale Website.

Jackie Cole - Qwest stated that an adhoc meeting was held to present the requested enhancements to the web interactive view. Jackie said that during that meeting an additional request was made to show the ‘denied’ and ‘closed’ status. Jackie said that we did review the request and have determined that we cannot provide this information. She stated that we would like to move forward with this request as originally presented with the archived report and the detailed description. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon asked if they were to look at the history in the interactive view would they be able to see the history and status of the request. Jackie Cole - Qwest stated that they would be able to see the Documentation #, description of request, current status, start date, last date updated, initiators name, PCAT name, the documented URL and a detailed description of the request. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon asked if they would be able to get to the document itself. Jackie Cole - Qwest said yes, just like the PCAT. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon said that they would not be able to see the history of the request. Jackie Cole - Qwest said that their Service Managers would be able to access the detailed information and history. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if the URL is blank would that mean that the documentation was not updated. Kim said that their concern is that it may look as if a request for documentation was completed but that it was actually denied. Jackie Cole - Qwest agreed that the URL will be blank. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon said can we assume that if the URL is blank then the request would indicate a denied status and that the request was not satisfied. Qwest confirmed that would be the case. Liz Balvin - Covad asked how soon these changes would be implemented. Jackie Cole - Qwest stated that a 45 day notification would be sent to the CLECs. Susan Lorence - Qwest said that the 45 day notification could be shortened. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon said that she was ok with the 45 day notification. Bonnie asked if this view will show historical data over 45 days and the current view for anything less than 45 days. Jackie Cole - Qwest said that anything older that 45 days can be viewed in the archive report and anything less that 45 days will show the current view. Jill Martain - Qwest stated that this CR will remain in Development

Jackie advised the External Documentation Request number, title, description and current status will be provided. Jackie advised that we will have another ad hoc call when Qwest is ready to present more details. This CR will move to Development Status.

10/20/04 CMP Meeting Minutes Kim Isaacs presented this CR saying that Eschelon is requesting external documentation be tracked on the Wholesale web site similar to the way CRs are tracked today. This will be used to monitor status and check for duplication before new requests are submitted. Doug Andreen, Qwest added that the clarification call has been held and Qwest has a good idea of what is required. The CR will move to presented status. Comment from Eschelon: Bonnie said this information would be beneficial and said though it streamlined the documentation request process, the history is missing.

Meeting Agenda:Action 1.0Introduction of Attendees Introduction of participants on the conference call was made and the purpose of the call discussed. 2.0Review Requested (Description of) Change Doug read and reviewed the CR. The CR requests that External Documentation Requests be tracked and archived on the Qwest Wholesale web site. Kim stated that External Documentation Requests are tracked internally by Qwest and would like to see this available to the CLECs. The business need for the CLECs is twofold. First to be able to check before submitting a request if a similar or duplicate request has already been submitted. Second, is to check the status on existing requests, similar to what is available through the Interactive Report on CR requests. Mark asked what level of detail Eschelon wanted. Kim said the description, current status, and status history i.e. when accepted, posted, denied, completed etc. There was discussion around how many status codes are used in the documentation process and if any other fields would be needed on the web version of the report. There were no further questions. 3.0Confirm Areas & Products Impacted No products or areas, only Wholesale Web site. 4.0Confirm Right Personnel Involved Correct personnel were involved in the meeting.
