Project Meetings

April 20, 2005 Product Process CMP Meeting Discussion: Janean Van Dusen-Qwest stated that this change was effective on March 4th and asked for closure of the CR. There was no dissent to close. Liz Balvin-Covad asked if there were any rejects so far. Janean Van Dusen-Qwest stated that she was not aware of any, (Change to minutes submitted by Eschelon 4/29/05) however Janean said she would now know because she is not involved in tracking this information. Liz Balvin-Covad stated that in previous discussions that Qwest believed that it would be a small percentage. Liz asked if this would also be for QPP. Janean Van Dusen-Qwest stated that she was not familiar if QPP provides DSL. Liz Balvin-Covad stated that the option did exist for QPP DSL. Janean Van Dusen-Qwest stated if that was the case, then this change would cover it unless there was a charge for it. Janean stated that she would verify and send an email off-line. Liz Balvin-Covad stated that she wants to be clearer in that if it says Resale that QPP is not impacted, but it is equivalent service so she assumed that it was impacted. Janean Van Dusen-Qwest stated that it is affected, as a whole. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that the QPP DSL PCAT was updated on April 11th and noted that it was effective for conditioning. Kim then read the notice. Janean Van Dusen-Qwest stated that QPP is not part of CMP. Jill Martain-Qwest clarified that it was a non-CMP notice. Janean Van Dusen-Qwest asked if this CR could be closed. Liz Balvin-Covad stated yes. Liz then noted that she was struggling with the impacted products and how QPP is a non-CMP product. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that traditionally CMP notices are for Resale and a separate notice is sent for QPP. Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that QPP notices are non-CMP and noted that they do not have a comment period. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that the QPP notice was dated March 3rd and did have an effective date of March 4th. Kim stated that the (Change to minutes submitted by Eschelon 4/29/05) Qwest QPP notice said that there would be no bridge tap or load coils removal for Qwest DSL on QPP. Liz Balvin-Covad stated that she was okay with the CR closing.

- January 19, 2005 Product Process CMP Meeting Discussion Janean Van Dusen/Qwest stated that there was a meeting on January 12th with the CLECs where it was clarified that this change is only for Qwest DSL and is available for Resale and UNE-P. Janean stated that she has several documentation updates to make and that the notices would be out shortly. Janean stated that there would be a PCAT Level 4 change and a Level 1 process change.

-- December CMP Meeting Minutes Janean Van Dusen- Qwest presented this CR and advised that Qwest will no longer be performing conditioning on DSL. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon clarified that when the Loop Qual comes back with bridge taps and load coils, the CLEC can not request to have these removed? Janean advised yes. (Insert comment from Eschelon) Kim stated that Eschelon objects to this change request because it will limit the CLECs ability to provide Qwest DSL. Kim asked how Qwest retail is handling conditioning. (End comment) Retail has been dong this since November. Liz Balvin-Covad advised this does not make sense as the loop would need to be conditioned. (Begin insert comment from Covad) In addition, Liz questioned what Qwest expected the CLEC could do at that point. (End comment) Janean suggested that a CLEC Input Meeting be held to discuss this in more detail. John Berard-Covad confirmed that in November a new policy for retail went into effect that if conditioning is needed (Begin insert comment from Covad) Qwest would not provision their end user’s service request (End comment) we are not doing it? Janean verified that is correct and we will have an ad hoc meeting to discuss in more detail. Cindy Macy-Qwest advised that she will schedule an ad hoc meeting. This CR will move to Presented Status.
