CMP Meeting Minutes July 17, 2003

SCR050203-01 UNE-P PAL in IMA (originated by Arizona Dialtone) Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that this CR was a duplication of a current CR submitted by Ernest Group. She stated that Qwest was currently looking at other alternatives to address some of Arizona Dialtone’s concerns. She stated that because of this Arizona Dialtone accepted withdrawing the CR.

From: "Nolan, Laurel" To: "'Tom Bade'" Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 8:59 AM Subject: RE: CR for UNE-P PAL in IMA

Tom,

Thanks for your email. Through the CMP you can request manual solutions for systems change while the system solution is going through the prioritization process.

I would like to suggest that we hold a meeting with your Service Manager and Qwest's Process Specialist to review the current process and discuss the problems that you are having. During this meeting we can discuss possible solutions like emailing PDFs. After the meeting you are welcome to submit CMP CRs for any possible manual change you would like.

Please let me know if you're interested in attending a meeting with your Service Manager and Qwest's Process Specialist and what times work best for you on Friday, July 11th or Monday, July 14th.

Thank you, Laurel CMP

Email From: Tom Bade [mailto:tombade@arizonadialtone.com] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 9:35 AM To: Nolan, Laurel Subject: Re: CR for UNE-P PAL in IMA

As I have indicated in several communications, it appears that une-p pal will never receive any favorable prioritization unless Qwest ways in on the difficulty for qwest to provision service properly and the amount of time Qwest employees take to implement PAL lies and go back and check for all the provisioning errors that have been occurring. I think our request supports Ernest position and would like it to stay in the process.

I thought that you were checking on alternative methods of transmission such as e-mail instead of the poor quality faxes which seem to cause most of the problems.

Email from Laurel Nolan to Tom Bade July 1, 2003

Tom,

Thank you for your voice mail. As I stated in my message, Qwest would like to hold a call with you and your Subject Matter Experts to discuss the problems that you are having with the IIS System and the submission of UNE-P PAL orders.

As you know, there is currently a CR, submitted by Ernest, that addresses the need for UNE-P PAL in IMA. I would suggest that after we have the internal call to discuss the problems and determine if you would like to open a product/process CR for a manual solution while the Ernest CR waits for prioritization.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, Laurel

June CMP Systems Meeting Meeting Minutes SCR050203-01

SCR050203-01 UNE-P PAL in IMA (originated by Arizona Dialtone) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is in evaluation and noted that Qwest is working with Arizona Dialtone. Connie noted that Qwest believes that this request is a duplicate and we are working towards combining them, if they are in fact the same. There were no questions or comments.

I would like qwest to accept e-mailed pdf files (or any reasonable format for that matter) for LSRs as it appears as if IMA is not a viable alternative. This would at least save a lot of paper and be more legible for the data entry people.

Subject: Re: Related CMP CR-SCR082202-01 Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 15:34:31 -0600 From: "Laurel Nolan" Organization: Qwest Communications International, Inc. To: Tom Bade References: 1 , 2 Tom,

Thank you for your email. I understand your concerns, but Qwest does not have control over the order in which IMA CRs are worked. Under section 10.0 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document, Qwest and the CLECs work IMA CRs through the Prioritization Process. The prioritization process provides an opportunity for CLECs and Qwest to prioritize CRs and each CLEC and Qwest receive one vote.

The Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document is available at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/whatiscmp

If you would like to change your CR to request that Qwest send you pdf files, I am more than happy to help you.

Regards, Laurel CMP

Subject: Re: Related CMP CR-SCR082202-01 Date: Wed, 28 May 2003 14:51:35 -0700 From: "Tom Bade" To: "Laurel Nolan" References: 1 Good Morning Laurel,

Ernest request doesn't address the multitude of problems, delays and incorrect provisioning because of legibility of faxes and data input when the Qwest order entry department works each order each of the several times it takes to get it provisioned properly. If I keep mine in there will it's priority be set and reset further back in the bunch as Ernest's was? Does Qwest consider that making it harder to provision certain types of lines as anti-competitive, as it certainly discourages selling PAL lines (which Qwest didn't want to do until settling with Ernest on their FCC Complaint)? Perhaps the request should be changed to request acceptance of pdf files attached to e-mails.

Thanks for the update. I look forward to your response.

Tom

Clarification Call: May 13, 2003

Attendance: Tom Bade-Arizona Dialtone, Carrie Ranges-Arizona Dialtone, Suzy Enny-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest, Berkley Loggie-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-Qwest CRPM

Review of request Nolan-Qwest read through the description of change and the expected deliverable. She asked Bade-Arizona Dialtone if he had any changes to the CR. He stated that he thought that this would be something that Qwest would really want because of the number of times that CLECs had to send manual orders over and over again. He asked Carrie (Arizona Dialtone) how many orders out of 10, were not correct. Ranges-Arizona Dialtone stated that only 3-4 would be correct. She stated that there were a lot of problems with fax and that sometimes PONs were transposed. She continued that they (Arizona Dialtone) submitted 100 orders at one time and that remarks weren't read. She stated that manual processing always has problems. Bade-Arizona Dialtone stated that there were problems with features not apearing on the lines. Gallegos-Qwest asked if the problems were on UNE-P PAL. Bade-Arizona Dialtone stated yes.

Nolan-Qwest confirmed the products, interface, and impacted areas. She asked if there were any additions or changes.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other question or concerns in regards to this CR. Manning-Qwest stated that she thought that there might be a simular request currently open. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would research related CRs and provide any to Bade and Ranges (Arizona Dialtone) for review.

Nolna-Qwest stated that the CR would be presented by Bade-Arizona Dialtone in the June systems meeting and that she would provide him with the details prior to the meeting. She stated that Qwest would provide a response to the CR prior to the meeting as stated in the CMP.

Meeting adjourned.

Called CLEC: May 5, 2003

Contact Tom in regards to classification of CR. CR form stated Product/Process, but Qwest believes it to be a systems change. Left voice mail stating that the CR would be acknowledged as systems and that Qwest would like to discuss.

CenturyLink Response

Draft Response June 12, 2003

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR050203-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification Meeting (held May 13, 2003) Qwest has determined that SCR082202-01, submitted by Ernest, addresses this request.

At the June Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request.

4/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was just deployed in the IMA 15.0 Release and will remain open for another month.

Malia Tasi/VCI Company said that they were unable to add Call Waiting ID and that they had to use the workaround. She asked if there was an Event Notification. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that there was an Event Notice (Ticket Number HD727575) that the NWT USOC (Call Waiting) began rejecting in March with the description ‘Feature NWT requires one of the following USOCs and that this was patched.

Malia Tasi/VCI Company stated that they received an error that the NWT was not valid at switch and that it is on every order and that they had to add a remark.

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that an edit went in with the IMA 15.0 Release. Liz asked VCI Company if they turned in a trouble ticket.

Michael Lopez/Qwest said that the trouble ticket number is 727575.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this is specific enough to not impact other orders. 5/3/04 Revision to Minutes from Eschelon - Bonnie also asked what progress Qwest had made on defining errors to a lower level so this override functionality could be used more frequently. Connie said Qwest was still looking into this.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest will take an action item to determine if the patch went in and to determine if the override functionality can be used.

This CR remains in CLEC Test.

Discussion

SCR060903-01 Reject message required if Call Waiting ID Unavailable in Switch

Susie provided the overview based on the document circulated with the meeting agenda.

Phyllis: In the Appendix E of Disclosure, it looks as if the AN or TNS on Resale form should be used as the NPXX. The Service Availability requirements states that we should use the LSO from the validation. When NPXX does not equal the LSO, what do we do? (Phyllis cited an example). John: Qwest will takeaway that question and research an answer.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/MCI stated the SOC indicates that something is provisioned and Qwest is saying that is not the case. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that Qwest has completed the analysis of the examples Liz provided and will forward to her. Lynn also said that a meeting will be scheduled with MCI after the 1st of the year to discuss.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Denise Martinez/Qwest reviewed that the current process in the Center is to issue service orders supporting what the CLEC has requested in the LSR. The assumption is that a Service Availability check has been done by the CLEC before sending the request to Qwest. Once the service order(s) has been created and submitted in the Qwest SOP, the SDC sends an FOC. When it is identified that a requested feature is not available in a particular switch after an FOC is sent, a Jeopardy notice is sent with a C05 (designed order) or SX (non-designed order) jeopardy code which identifies Error Conditions Identified After an FOC is Sent. The documentation supporting Error Conditions Identified after an FOC is Sent PCAT can be found at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/provisioning.html. For LSRs where a jeopardy notice is sent due to a CLEC error being identified after FOC and if a supplement is not received to correct the error condition within 4 hours, the service order(s) will be cancelled but the LSR remains in a jeopardy condition. If after 30 business days the LSR is still in a jeopardy status, the LSR will be rejected. If for some reason it was identified that a requested feature is not available in a particular switch before an FOC being sent, an Error Notification is sent to the CLEC. Information regarding the Error notification process PCAT can be found at URL http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/ordering.html. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the jeopardy process is not happening. Bonnie asked if the feature type is not compatible with switch, will it error out. Denise Martinez/Qwest said that it depends. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she had an example last month where the feature was not available in the switch. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that she could take a look at the examples. Denise stated that if the order is completed and the feature is not available that is a different issue. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the example she reviewed showed that we removed what was not available on the switch and that the CLEC was not billed and that’s why Denise was asked to provide the jeopardy process. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that she could check to see if after completion, if someone could contact the CLEC to notify. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the USOCs were on the completions. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they have issues with this as well where they were not notified. Bonnie asked if once the order is completed could it post to the bill. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that the process states if there are any changes after completion, you will be notified via e-mail. Denise stated that we could review the examples and determine if any coaching is needed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the e-mail is sent to the submitter. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated yes. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that would not work for MCI. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that MCIs first example was processed correctly with no change, but that the other examples were of the FOC and was corrected internally prior to completion. John said that they should have been notified back to MCI and that was not done. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we will work off-line with MCI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that for 15.0 it would become an upfront reject. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it is based on feature availability. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that the applicable features are listed on the CR.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we did review the examples sent to us by AT&T and the research done indicated that the USOCs did not make it all the way to billing. Connie said that the process is to send a jeopardy back to let you know that the feature is not available so that you can remove. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the jeopardy process is fully documented. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she has an example where the USOCs were not available at the switch and that the end user called to ask why they did not get the service they requested. Liz stated that you did confirm on the SOC that you did provision the feature. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it should have fallen off the SOC and will validate the MCI's example. Bobby Chen/Qwest will provide the example. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we need to true-up the jeopardy process and make sure it is documented. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this action item will remain open to review the MCI examples.

We are researching what it will take not send features not available at Qwest switch but in the mean time, we need to determine how to deal with the issue of Qwest reflecting provisioned services (when a reject should result) for features not available.

Is MCI not using feature availability to determine what features are available in the switch before placing provisioning orders? We will reexamine this this issue.

Steve (and/or Bobby),

Please advise on the following issue...Qwest is completing orders for USOCs not available at the switch. While I can understand there may not be system edits in place that would cause rejects on these orders, I don't understand why there were not manually generated rejects. The completed orders places MCI LSRs out of synch with what was actually provisioned by Qwest. In addition, the end-user does not get provisioned what was requested.

Here are four examples:

1) 507-283-4893/S016268380qwmnpr 7/21/03 7/21/03 ticket #25237514 (Per Qwest, NWT not compatible with switch AXRSS)

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest has researched this issue and believes that provisioning is catching this information. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she provided examples. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we need to review the examples from AT&T and would like to leave this action item open.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest noted that we did look at the LOE for just call waiting and the LOE for all features and the LOE remains the same.

Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that this CR was critical and very very important to AT&T. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that they were moderately interested.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are still reviewing all USOCs and combinations of USOCs.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this CR was initiated because Call Waiting ID was not available in a switch. When the feature was not available, the order was accepted instead of rejected. Carla stated that she did not think this should be a CR and that she sees this as a defect. Carla also said that she did not think they should have to come to Qwest to ask to have their orders provisioned correctly. She stated that she did not know if this would be an edit that would affect all USOCs, or if you have to go feature by feature. If you have to look at feature by feature, AT&T would like Caller ID first and the other features can wait. Carla also would like Qwest to provide two LOEs, one LOE for Caller ID and one LOE for the other features. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest can certainly take that as an action item and provide the LOE for all features and the LOE for just the Caller ID portion. She stated that the LOE that we have provided on the CR, is the LOE for all features. She reviewed the current process and how we reject LSRs with features that cannot be provisioned. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that it sounds like there is an existing manual process and the LOE provided is for the mechanized process. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that is correct. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked since this applies to pre or post FOC, could Qwest confirm that in all cases it would be before the due date. Is there opportunity for the order to actually go all the way through the system and complete inaccurately with the feature on the service order. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the examples we researched did not apply to that scenario, but that we would take an action item to research if there were USOCs that could make it all the way to billing. Carla Pardee/AT&T said that she has specific examples if we need them. Connie Winston/Qwest said that would be great. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the post FOC rejects cause the CLECs more headaches. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she understood, however, the post FOC is a jeopardy. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that a jeopardy means that the facilities are not available. Connie Winston/Qwest that’s correct the feature is not available. Pre-order provides feature availability and should be used to reduce the potential of adding a feature that isn’t available in the switch. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that pre-order is not a requirement and that she would like to see the up front edit as stringent as possible. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest could look at the ICONN database when defining the up front edit and said that she thought this might be an optimum solution. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if this candidate is voted into the 15.0 release, that we can certainly consider that when we are in definition.

Subject: FW: SCR060903-01 Reject Message Required if Call Waiting ID Unavailable in Switch

Lynn:

At our clarification call last week, you asked for a list of all of the features AT&T requested as a part of this change request. Our biggest priority right now, is call waiting ID. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize this request for that feature. Once that is done, we would also request the following features be added to the request. Caller ID; Call waiting; Call forwarding; Speed dial 8 and 30; Call transfer; Talking call waiting.

Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Introduction of Attendees Carla Pardee - AT&T, John Gallegos - Qwest, John Ebert - Qwest, Denise Martinez - Qwest

Review Description of Change Lynn Stecklein/Qwest reviewed description of change. Currently, if a CLEC submits an LSR for UNE-P requesting Call Waiting ID (USOC = N2W) and the feature is not available in a particular switch, Qwest will process the order without the feature. AT&T requests that Qwest reject the LSR and allow AT&T to contact the customer and let the customer make the decision as to whether or not the customer still wants the service without the feature.

Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the USOC noted in the description should be NWT and not N2W. She also stated that AT&T would like to include other features, not just call waiting.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the USOC of N2W is for residential and NWT is for business and that we would look at doing both.

Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she wouldsend the list of features that AT&T would like to include in the description of change to Lynn Stecklein/Qwest.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted The Products associated with this change request is UNE-P and AT&T will verify the features.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation AT&T requests that Qwest reject the LSR and allow AT&T to contact the customer and let the customer make the decision as to whether or not the customer still wants the service without the feature.

September 4, 2003 Email Sent to Sharon Van Meter/AT&T: Sharon, RE: SCR070203-01 CABS Billing for Line Splitting This email is in response to the Action Items that came out of our September 3rd conference call. The captured Action Items were for Qwest to confirm that the recurring and non-recurring charges are on the bill, confirm that cross connects are on the UNE-P summary accounts, and that if cross connects are not on the UNE-P bill, to advise where they are billed. Qwest is able to confirm that the UNE-P recurring loop charges, UNE-P nonrecurring charges and Line Splitting channel termination charges (associated with the tie-pairs) are all billed on the same UNE-P POTS BAN. All charges, which are currently billed on the UNE-P POTS bill, are mapped to the CABS/BOS billing format media. There are no "cross-connects" associated with UNE-P Line Splitting; if you are currently being billed for cross-connects, it is associated with another product and would appear on a bill separate from your UNE-P POTS bill. As stated above, however, there are tie-pairs associated with Line Splitting which are billed as Channel Terminations with a TYL++ USOC.

Based on the above information, please advise of the disposition for this CR. Is AT&T okay to withdraw this CR. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM - Systems Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com

Jami Larson/Qwest stated that if Line Splitting is on UNE-P, then is currently available to AT&T. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that it should then be okay. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that she read the PCAT and that Line Splitting is referenced under different systems. Sharon asked Gary (AT&T) if is okay regarding CABS. Gary Duffy/AT&T stated that is okay for recurring and non-recurring charges for Line Splitting; the question is regarding if cross connects are on the UNE-P bill. Terri Kilker/Qwest stated that she would verify that the recurring and non-recurring charges appear for Line Splitting and will verify if cross connects are billed on the UNE-P bills. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that the PCAT references cross connects but AT&T needs on the bill. Sharon stated that once Qwest verifies that cross connects do appear on the UNE-P summary accounts, AT&T may be able to withdraw this CR. Gary Duffy/AT&T agreed. Terri Kilker/Qwest will email information to Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) for distribution to AT&T. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that she would distribute within AT&T. Gary Duffy/AT&T stated that if Terri (Qwest) finds that the cross connects are not on the UNE-P bills, AT&T needs to know where they are billed. Terri Kilker/Qwest stated that she would research and would try and have the information this afternoon. There were no other questions or comments. The call was concluded.

- August 26, 2003 Email Received from Sharon Van Meter/AT&T: Peggy, Thanks for setting up the call. I would like for Qwest to further explain what elements are billed to which billing systems. We have read the PCAT and see that different pieces of the Line Splitting process are billed to different systems, so we want to make sure that the elements billed to CABS meet our needs. Also, Carla Pardee has a CR requesting that UNE-P charges are billed through the CABS billing system. I think the resolution for that is that UNE-P is billed through CRIS but in a CABS format. We will want the same thing for Line Splitting since a customer needs UNE-P to support Line Splitting. Let me know if you have any questions or need further clarification. Sharon

Based on analysis performed after the Clarification Call, held on July 14th, it has been determined that there is no systems work to be done for this request. CABS Billing for Line Splitting is currently available to you, in conjunction with UNE-P POTS. It is a matter of sending in the LSR with the appropriate information. Please refer to the PCAT located at http://qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/linesplitting.html for ordering information. After reviewing the PCAT, please advise if you feel that a follow-up call is needed to further discuss or advise that the CR can be withdrawn at the August CMP Meeting. Thanks, Sharon.

Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated product is Line Splitting for DSL. Meeting Discussion: Crystal Soderlund/Qwest asked if UBL is currently billed via CRIS. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that is also billed via CABS. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that CABS is not billing UNE-P and UNE Loop. Jami stated that is on bill data tape, the CSR is in CABS BOS format, and is sent via NDM. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest asked if this request is the same for line splitting. Marie Ivanov/AT&T stated that Covad requires line splitting in CABS format for DSL and that AT&T is requesting in CABS, in order to provide it to Covad. Luke Von Hagen/Qwest asked to confirm that AT&T is looking for something similar, looking for BOS format via the bill data tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that could be referred to as CABS or BOS. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that Is CABS/BOS format. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T’s concern is that if AT&T is the customer of record, they need one consistent format. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that UNE-P and UNE Loop are billed via CRIS and that they format and put on the appropriate bill data tape. Jami stated that CRIS does this function. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T is requesting consistent billing format. Marie Ivanov/AT&T stated that they are referring to format and asked if there are standard fields.

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest does not provide 2 way blocking restriction capabilities. AT&T requests that Qwest provide this functionality at the TN level. This essentially means, that when a customer is in delinquency, Qwest would be able to block both in bound and out bound calls, with the exception of 911 calls.

This essentially means, that when a customer is in delinquency, Qwest would be able to block both in bound and out bound calls, with the exception of 911 calls.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that an AT&T request was submitted on February 27, 2003 (SCR022703-22 Line Level restrict for Non-Payment) and said that this CR may be a duplicate. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if this CR could be combined with SCR022703-22. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that SCR022703-22 was denied on March 14, 2003 due to economic feasibility.

John Gallegos/Qwest confirmed that AT&T was requesting two way blocking but wanted to allow 911. AT&T said yes. John also asked if AT&T was looking for this change at a TN level and if a multi-line account was involved, the TN level restriction would be applicable to each line. In addition, 1 line would have full capability. AT&T said yes. Dave Green/AT&T said that AT&T internally submits at the account level and asked if there is any difference in their TN versus out TN or if they requested 2 way blocking restriction at the BTN level would it be the same as our BTN. John said that he would have to assume yes. Dave stated that Qwest provides 2 way blocking restriction at the account level and AT&T would like the restriction at the TN level. John said that AT&T send the request by the TN (or what AT&T identifies as the BTN)

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR072303-01, dated 07/23/2003, titled: Request for 2 way blocking restriction.

CLEC CR Description as written by AT&T: Currently Qwest does not provide 2 way blocking restriction capabilities. AT&T requests that Qwest provide this functionality at the TN level. This essentially means, that when a customer is in delinquency, Qwest would be able to block both in bound and out bound calls, with the exception of 911 calls.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Friday August 8, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation. At this meeting Qwest confirmed with AT&T that this CR was requesting similar functionality as SCR022703-22, Line Level restrict for Non-Payment, which AT&T submitted in February of 2003.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR072303-01, Request for 2 way blocking restriction, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. As discussed in the clarification call, in February of 2003, AT&T submitted SCR022703-22-Line Level restrict for Non Payment, requesting similar functionality, which Qwest ultimately denied due to economic infeasibility. However, the new CR submitted in July is requesting even more functionality than the original CR submitted in February 2003. The new change request would require Qwest to restructure the manner in which accounts are currently processed through the billing system. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $1 million. Qwest believes that to implement a restriction at the line level for non-payment would be cost prohibitive.

Qwest is denying your request for SCR072303-01, Request for 2 way blocking restriction due to economic infeasibility.

Sincerely, Qwest

CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

AT&T does not want to recap any existing hunting USOCs the customer has on their account. Whatever the customer wants as their "end state" hunting arrangement (whether the USOC is existing or not), we would populate using HA=N. This includes the hunting USOCs and the lines hunting is to be applied to. Also, if Hunting exists on the Qwest retail CSR, but is NOT specified on the LSR, it should be deleted when the customer is migrated over.

Qwest has also suggested an additional value of HA = BLANK in which the Hunting form would not need to be sent. The "BLANK" would indicate that the customer is being migrated and no hunting is being requested.

Expected Deliverable:

To not have to recap existing hunting USOCs and to utilize HA=N to be inclusive of the end state of the customers account.

May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the possibility of establishing a new Status Code.

This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

Purpose: High-level walk-through of the CRs that are committed in the IMA 15.0 Release.

Supporting Documents: Qwest Notification: SYST.02.13.04.F.01366.IMAEDI15.0Cand&DocWkth Documentation containing 15.0 Candidate Summaries: February 17, 2004, attached to notification CRs can be found in the Qwest Wholesale Change Request Interactive Report located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html

Functional Overview: This enhancement will allow the CLEC to provide end state hunting information for Conversions/ Migrations as Specified. If hunting is desired on the converted account, the CLEC will populate the HTQTY field on the LSR with a quantity greater than zero and provide hunting information on the HGI form. On the HGI form, the only HA allowed will be N = New. If an HGI form is not provided, Qwest will remove any existing hunting from the account. If an HGI form is provided, Qwest will provision hunting on the converted account as specified on the HGI form. If no HGI form is provided, hunting USOCs and FIDs will be prohibited in FEATURE and FEATURE DETAIL on the Product Specific Form. This enhancement will not affect hunting functionality in previous versions of IMA. In addition, current hunting functionality for ACT = C, N or T will remain unchanged.

Form Impacts: Hunt Group Information (HGI) Resale (RS) Centrex Resale (CRS) Port Service (PS) - FEATURE/FEATURE DETAIL fields. LSR - HTQTY field

Products:

Functionality will be available for ACT= V or Z for: Resale POTS Resale BRI ISDN Centrex 21 PBX Analog Line Side Port Digital Line Side Port Designed Trunk Resale Qwest DSL UNE POTS (P or STAR) UNE-P ISDN BRI UNE Centrex (P or STAR) UNE-P PBX Designed Trunk

Functionality will be available for ACT = V only for: Centrex Plus/Centron UNE Centrex 21 (P or STAR)

Activities: Activity Type = V and Z

Meeting Discussion: Susie Wells/Qwest: provided the overview based on the document circulated with the meeting agenda.

Stephanie Prull/Eschelon: For ACT = W, hunting will remain even though the HGI not sent? Susie Wells/Qwest: That is correct. (John Gallegos/Qwest confirmed).

- October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest noted that the CR Title has been revised for the 10th ranked CR on the list. There were no questions or comments.

September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the CR. Regina Mosley/AT&T stated that this CR was issued to be in synch with OBF standards. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was all shared on the Clarification Call. There were no additional comments or questions. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR has been requested to be a Late Adder into the IMA 15.0 Prioritization. Peggy stated that it might be appropriate to do the vote at this time instead of waiting until the end of the CMP Meeting. There was no dissent for taking the vote. Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest reviewed the following: A vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate that SCR081803-01 is to be included in the IMA 15.0 Prioritization, utilizing the Late Adder Process. A vote of ‘No’ will indicate that SCR081803-01 will NOT be included in the IMA 15.0 Prioritization as a Late Adder request. There were no questions associated with the Yes and No vote. Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest stated that Quorum was achieved with 7 Carriers. Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest stated that emailed ‘Yes’ votes have been received from AT&T and from Qwest. Bonnie Johnson stated that Eschelon votes ‘Yes’. Monica Avila stated that VarTec votes ‘Yes’. Liz Balvin stated that MCI votes ‘Yes’. Ian Coleman stated that Allegiance ‘Abstains’ from the vote. Stephanie Prull stated that McLeodUSA votes ‘Yes’. Jennifer Arnold stated that USLink votes ‘Yes’. John Berard stated that Covad votes ‘Yes’. Alan Flanigan stated that Time Warner ‘Abstains’ from the vote. Nancy Sanders stated that Comcast votes ‘Yes’. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that based on the results of the vote, SCR081803-01 was granted by a vote of 9 ‘Yes’ votes, 0 ‘No’ votes, and 2 ‘Abstain’ votes. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this effort could include Resale. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would review for a possible revision to the LOE. Connie stated that if the LOE can be determined in time for the ranking, it would be included in the Notification. Connie stated that if Qwest could not have the revised LOE in time for the Notification that the effort would be for UNE-P only.

-- September 8, 2003 Email Received From Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: May I please change my mind about the vote. I would like to ask that a vote to allow this cr as an exception be voted on the this month's systems forum. I had stated in my exception request that we did not want it to take place, but we do. If I need to send this "change of heart" would you like me to send another exception to cmpcr......? Thank you, Donna

September 4, 2003 Email Received From Donna Osborne-Miile/AT&T: AT&T would like to request an exception as a late adder to IMA 15.0 SCR 081803-01 Recapping of hunting USOCs After much consternation and discussion on the hunting process and the eventual agreed- upon matrix creation and distribution, we seek changes and additions to the hunting process as it relates to end state and recapping of USOCs. We seek consideration as a late adder exception to the latest IMA prioritization. In addition AT&T wishes to have the vote NOT taken at the next systems CMP meeting. We believe the community may need time to resonate on the change and to re-examine the results of IMA 15.0 prioritization. If there are any question or concerns on this request please contact: Donna Osborne-Miller at 303.465.4134 Thank you, Donna

-- September 2, 2003 Email Received From Regina Mosley/AT&T: Donna/Peggy, Hope it's not too late to make the revisions to the CR......see below...Regina Please correct wording to read: Description of Change: AT&T does not want to recap any existing hunting USOCs the customer has on their account. Whatever the customer wants as their "end state" hunting arrangement (whether the USOC is existing or not), we would populate using HA=N. This includes the hunting USOCs and the lines hunting is to be applied to. Also, if Hunting exists on the Qwest retail CSR, but is NOT specified on the LSR, it should be deleted when the customer is migrated over. Qwest has also suggested an additional value of HA = BLANK in which the Hunting form would not need to be sent. The "BLANK" would indicate that the customer is being migrated and no hunting is being requested. Expected Deliverable: To not have to recap existing hunting USOCs and to utilize HA=N to be inclusive of the end state of the customers account.

August 29, 2003 Email sent to Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: Subject: SCR081803-01 Late Adder ?? Hi Donna -- In regard to your submitted CMP CR, SCR081803-01. I have attached the revised CR for your review. Please advise if corrections need to be made. I revised the CR description, Interface, and Impacted Products. A question for you - Have you submitted your exception requests? One asking to invoke the late adder process and a separate request asking that the vote be held outside of the monthly CMP meeting? If you have, can you please resend them to CMPCR@qwest.com with a copy to me? I apologize but I am not finding them. I will start the late adder process as soon as we have the exception CRs. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com

- August 26, 2003 Email Received From Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: Hello Peggy, As agreed on the clarification call, I owe you a correction in wording in the description of change to SCR081803-01: Please correct wording to read: Description of Change: AT&T does not want to recap any existing hunting USOCs the customer has on their account. Whatever the customer wants as their hunting arrangement, we would populate. This includes the hunting USOCs and the lines hunting is to be applied to. IMA release 13.0 introduces new hunt values that are more specific that what is in IMA 12.0. AT&T would like to utilize HA= N to include "end state" as well. Expected Deliverable: To not have to recap existing hunting USOCs and to utilize HA=N to be inclusive of the end state of the customers account.

- Clarification Meeting - August 22, 2003: ATTENDEES: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Regina Mosley/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest, Curt Anderson/Qwest, Mallory Paxton/Qwest, Shon Higer/Qwest REVIEW REQUESTED DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: AT&T does not want to recap any existing hunting USOCs the customer has on their account. Whatever the customer wants as their hunting arrangement, we would populate HA= (value determined by team)and provide the hunting USOCs and the lines hunting is to be applied to. IMA 13.0 will introduce new hunt values that are more specifice than what was in IMA 12.0 . AT&T woiuld like to add another hunting value: perhaps that of A, for example. To illistrate, associated rules for A would look something like this: A= to show end state of the account (this would be used for E (to convert hunting with no change) and C (to change hunt sequence) The E and the C values would not br replaced with the end state as the CLECs would be given a choice to use A versus E or C. Expected Deliverable: As stated and requested in the description of change, adoption of HA=A to the hunting rules. CONFIRM INTERFACES: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the interface noted is IMA EDI. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that it should be IMA Common, in the interest of the CLEC Community. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest agreed to revise the interface to reflect IMA Common. CONFIRM PRODUCTS: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the noted product is UNE-P. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that in the interest of the CLECs, it is for all products. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest agreed to revise the impacted products to All UNE-P. DISCUSSION: Regina Mosley/AT&T requested to change the CR Description to ask for a new value and to use an existing value of 'N' to be end-state, as well as for new. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that she thought that would be better. Curt Anderson/Qwest stated that he agreed with Mallory and that it is OBF compliant to use 'N' for end-state. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that then there would be 2 options for migration or conversion, An 'N' would be for end-state. A blank would result in the removal of all hunting. Mallory noted that an 'N' would be used to keep, add, or change hunting; that it would be treated like a request for new service. Mallory stated that if the Hunting Form is not filled out, the CLEC would not get hunting. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that in other words, a blank or no hunting form would result in no hunting. N would be the only valid value for HA. Regina Mosley/AT&T asked if hunting exists on the Qwest CSR and is not specified on the LSR, how would the other USOCs get deleted, does not want to recap anything. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that with conversion as specified, if the USOCs are left off, they don't get the feature. Shon Higer/Qwest stated that if hunting is not specified, it would be removed and would not get converted. Regina Mosley/AT&T stated that she does want hunting to work the same way, if it is not specified, they are not to get hunting. Shon Higer/Qwest stated that he understands the request. Donna Osborne-Miller/Qwest stated that she would like this to be a late adder. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest advised AT&T that they will need to submit an exception request asking to invoke the late adder process and needs to submit an exception request asking that the vote be held outside of the CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments.

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion (Attachment F - Walk-on Requests): Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the CR description. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Regina Mosley (AT&T) if this request should also include blocking. Regina Mosley/AT&T stated that she was still checking with Peter Cole (AT&T) and noted that 14.0 does include blocking for end state. Regina stated that this CR is for the 15.0 vote. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that end state for Listings is via recapping in LML. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that was also in 14.0. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if this candidate made the cut-off date for 15.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it did not make the cut-off date to be included in the 15.0 vote. There were no additional questions.

Draft Response - September 9, 2003

RE: SCR081803-01 Seeking Ability To Migrate UNE-P Customer As End-State

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR081803-01). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held August 22, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1900 to 2400 hours for this IMA Change Request, and an impact to SATE of 40 to 60 hours.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request.

This Change Request is currently an eligible candidate for the IMA 16.0 prioritization. At the request of AT&T, there will be a vote conducted at the September Systems CMP Meeting seeking to allow this candidate as a Late Adder into the IMA 15.0 Prioritization.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

SATE is coded with predefined SATE specific RSIDS. With this limitation AT&T is forced to use what has been designed in logic. This restriction forces us to do code changes while testing. AT&T would like to use its RSID in production, in the SATE test environment.

Expected Deliverable:

For AT&T to be able to use it’s RSID in SATE testing.

Project Meetings

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the Clarification Meeting was held and noted that Qwest has explained the options. Connie stated that this request was denied due to SATEs structure of controlling CCNA, so can execute repeatable test cases. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner asked why they need to use different CCNAs for different products such as FBDL, and asked why the CCNA is not related to the national CCNA. Alan noted that it is unique to Qwest. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that FBDL uses the ACNA. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner stated that he uses the national code for FBDL and that for other products, he uses the Qwest made-up ones. Sue Stott/Qwest stated are the Reseller ID. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she is not familiar with the history and stated that she would take an action item to check into the issue. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that AT&Ts CR is saying that production and SATE are different and Alan (Flanigan) is saying that is made-up by Qwest. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that when SATE was architected, not knowing who was going to use it, it was built with generic accounts so could guarantee results. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she appreciated that Qwest entertained their other idea.

-- October 7, 2003 Email Sent to AT&T: Donna, In the SATE enviroment, there is no other field but the CCNA field that uniquely identifies one customer from another. Let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- October 7, 2003 Email to AT&T: Donna, I will forward your question to John and Woldey. Thanks, Peggy

October 7, 2003 Email Received from AT&T: Hi Peggy, Is it too late for Qwest to consider this: is there another field that IT could look at in the SATE environment that uniquely identifies the CCNA? We were hoping that is a key field in which logic could be built to support this suggestion? Can you please take back to John and Woldey? Thank you, Donna

- October 7, 2003 Email Sent to AT&T: Hello Donna, Attached is a current revised report of your submitted CMP CR, SCR092503-03 Request to Change CCNA (RSID) in SATE Test Environment. The revision contains the Qwest Response to your request. Due to the denial response, there will not be a vote at the October CMP Meeting for this CR to be considered as a Late Adder into the most recent SATE Prioritization. I'm sorry this could not be better news. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

ATTENDEES Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T, Regina Mosley - AT&T, Phyllis Burt - AT&T, Woldey Assefa - Qwest, Shonna Pasionek - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

REVIEW DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE Lynn Stecklein - Qwest reviewed the description of the CR. AT&T is requesting Qwest to Change CCNA (RSID) in SATE Test Environment. SATE is coded with predefined SATE specific RSIDS. With this limitation AT&T is forced to use what has been designed in logic. This restriction forces AT&T to do code changes while testing. AT&T would like to use its RSID in production, in the SATE test environment.

CONFIRM AREAS & PRODUCTS IMPACTED The interface impacted is SATE for all products.

IDENTIFY/CONFIRM CLEC'S EXPECTATION Expected Deliverable: For AT&T to be able to use it’s RSID in SATE testing.

DISCUSSION Woldey Assefa - Qwest asked AT&T to describe the problem they were having with the RSID for SATE. Regina Mosely - AT&T stated that the problem is that when they begin testing they are using the production RSID, then they have to change to R03, and finally have to change back to T02. Woldley asked if the field was a drop down and AT&T said no, it is coded. Woldley said that the environment is very data driven and used the example of AT&T with the RSID of T02 and Woldey with the RSID of W02. The 'CC' field on the account is tracked by the last two digits of the RSID. In this example, the system only tracks the '02' portion of the RSID and that is where the problem is. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if CLEC has its own RSID and Woldley said yes. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked why SATE could not recognize the three character RSID. Woldley stated that to have SATE recognize the three character RSID would require a full re-architecture of SATE. Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T asked Woldley to explain why recognizing the three characters would require a full re-architecture. Woldley explained that all the logic is driven by that code. John Gallegos - Qwest stated that this effort would be extremely large and that we are trying to look at other alternatives. Donna Osborne-Miller asked if Phyllis or Regina had any ideas of an alternative. They could not think of any at this time. Donna said that if they thought of an alternative, they would contact Qwest. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon is in full support of this CR.

ESTABLISH ACTION PLAN AT&T will present this CR at the October CMP meeting as a 'late adder'

September 29, 2003 Email Received from AT&T: Hello Peggy, AT&T would like to submit SCR092503-03 as a late adder to SATE prioritization pertaining to IMA 15.0 Thank you, Donna Osborne-Miller

- September 29, 2003 Email to Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: Donna, Would you please provide me with your availability for the Clarification Meeting for your CMP CR of SCR092503-03. Please provides me with several options through October 6th. Thanks much. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

-- September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that her business partner has a business need for SATE and asked if she should wait until 15.0 SATE Prioritization has completed. Donna stated that the RSID of R03, in SATE, needs to be the same as production. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that would be the right approach. Jim Maher/Qwest stated that it would need to be requested as a Late Adder since prioritization process starts today. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if SATE does not mirror production, that aspect should be researched. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that is the nature of how SATE works, that it has a different RSID. Liz Balvin/MCI stated okay. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would submit a CR.

Donna Osborne-Miller, AT&T

CC: Lynn Notarianni Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Christy Turton Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR092503-03 dated 09/25/03, titled: Request to Change CCNA (RSID) in SATE Test Environment.

CLEC CR Description as written by AT&T: "SATE is coded with predefined SATE specific RSIDs. With this limitation AT&T is forced to use what has been designed in logic. This restriction forces us to do code changes while testing. AT&T would like to use its RSID in production, in the SATE test environment Expected Deliverable: For AT&T to be able to use it’s RSID in SATE testing."

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR092503-03. The EDI SATE environment has been specifically architected and designed around the CCNA’s of R01 thru R99 in order to control environmental and data variables such as number of users, system performance, data integrity rules, simplicity of customer use, security of test transactions, parity between CLECs, proper documentation, thorough system testing, and achievement of expected results to the Customer. The implementation of production CCNA’s into the SATE environment equates to a significant increase in the scope of the current SATE environment, including potential test clients, transaction support, system testing, documentation, infrastructure, and maintenance. The proposed change would have significant impacts requiring the re-architecture of the SATE system, and a significant system scope increase requiring the purchase of additional hardware and software. The initial cost of implementing the SATE system rework, the required redesign of the multiple systems feeding into SATE, and on-going maintenance costs, makes this request economically not feasible.

Qwest is denying your request for CR SCR092503-03, Request to Change CCNA (RSID) in SATE Test Environment based on the economically infeasibility of implementing the request.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest provides a four hour window for the vendor meet at the customer premise. This four hour window places undue buden on

AT&T and AT&T vendors on coordinated dispatches. The current process used is to contact the CLEC center thirty minutes in advance of dispatch arrival. This is not enough lead time for AT&T or it's vendors to ensure that the actual meet takes place, since the Qwest tech will not wait for AT&T's vendor. AT&T had established with Verizon, Bell South and with SBC, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) around coordinated dispatches. Under these agreements, all AM-scheduled vendor meets are to occur at 9AM(local time) and all PM vendor meets are to occur at 1PM (local time). Wait time for either tech is limited to 30 minutes. Development and implementation of this process reduced "missed" vendor meets by 73% withing the first two months.

Expected Deliverable:

ATT requests a similar process as described above. (MOU) This would include any system changes necessary by Qwest to be implemented to support this type of process. Implementation of this process/system change would allow both AT&T and QWEST to better manage situations requiring a coordinated dispatch, resulting in fewer "no access" or "vendor meet ,no show" and would reduce missed commitments for these reasons.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this request was implemented on April 4, 2004. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this request was not implemented per AT&T standards. Donna said that this request clearly stated that AT&T wanted this functionality implemented in MEDIAAC but Qwest implemented the request in CEMR. Donna stated that before this request was crossed over from Product/Process to Systems, AT&T made it clear that they wanted a Memorandum of Understanding process implemented including any system changes necessary to support this kind of process in MEDIAAC. Donna stated that Qwest should have advised AT&T upfront before crossing this request over to systems and that the request would be implemented in CEMR. Donna stated that there may have been confusion associated with this request and the 'Commit Time' CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is still working with Network to evaluate a Memorandum of Understanding. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon will validate the functionality in CEMR.

This CR remains in CLEC Test.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this has not yet been scheduled.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this action item will remain open because we do not have a scheduled date yet. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if Qwest requested an end date because they need to provide a by date to their Vendor. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the scheduling is done on a case-by-case basis. Lynn said that that we need to look at all Qwest systems impacted and try to schedule in conjunction with everyone’s timeframes.

Kit Thomte/Qwest said that Craig Suellentrop/Qwest thought this CR was Product/Process until late September. Kit also said that we discussed improvements to the CR identification process in the Documentation meeting yesterday. Kit stated that we have process improvements in place that should reduce this problem in the future.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR is in Evaluation and that we do not yet have the LOE. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she would like to know why it took so long to cross this CR over from Product and Process. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we would take an action item to follow up why. (Eschelon Comment Received 12/9/03: Bonnie said there should have been an action item from last month to review the time frame.)

E-Mail sent to AT&T 10/27/03

Donna,

This is in response to your request that we determine if SCR042303-01X (AT&T requests that Vendor Meet requests for non-design POTS service be at specific times) could be implemented in December of 2003 and if there would be a manual process. After researching your questions further, the following has been determined. Qwest will not be able to implement this request in December of 2003 and that there will be no manual process. I have created an action item to communicate the targeted implementation date in the November 20, 2003 CMP Systems Meeting.

Please call me with any questions or concerns on 303 382-5770.

Thanks,

Lynn Stecklein CRPM Systems 303 382-5770 Lynn.Stecklein@qwest.com

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR was discussed in the Product/Process Meeting and agreement was reached to Cross Over PC042303-1 to Systems. Liz Balvin/MCI asked for the process associated with Cross Overs CR’s Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that when a CLEC CRs is received, Qwest evaluates to determine if the CR should be processed as a system or product/process CR. Kit stated that we confer with the IT and Process organizations. Kit stated that the CRPMs notify the CLEC as soon as the determination is made. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that we should not be changing the category unless the originator agrees with the decision. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that PC042303-1 (AT&T request that Vendor Meet (coordinated dispatch) request for non-design POTS service be at specific times) submitted in mid April and has target date of December of 2003. Donna asked why this could not be done in November. Liz Balvin/MCI said that the manual portion could be completed until the system piece catches up. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked why it took so long to cross over. Connie Winston/Qwest said she could not speak to the timing issue and that she wasn’t engaged in the Product/Process CR. Connie said that the Product/Process owner owes you a response. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that if the December 2003 date is pushed out that they need 4 weeks internal notice. Donna asked if this CR would need to be prioritized since it is a system CR. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that there is not prioritization on the CEMR System. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she would like Qwest to strongly consider this request to be in the next CEMR release and if that can’t be done, what kind of manual process can be done. Eschelon Comments 10/29/03 to Meeting Minutes – List Action Item Communicate targeted implementation date (SCR042303-01X AT&T requests that Vendor Meet (coordinated dispatch) requests) and determine if there will be a manual process in the interim.

October 15, 2003 CMP Meeting Craig Sullentrop – Qwest advised it has been determined that this CR has impacts to RBE, which are visable to CEMR. As a result of this, the CR needs to be crossed over to Systems. ATT uses Mediacc, and there are not changes to Mediacc, however other CLECs use RCE. Donna Osborne Miller advised okay to cross over to Systems.

September 17, 2003 CMP Meeting Craig Suellentrop – Qwest reported that an internal status meeting is scheduled for next week. The development is on track and estimated time frame is December 2003. Liz asked Craig to refresh her memory and Craig advised this is for the joint meet which has to be requested.

CMP Meeting 08-20-03

Suellentrop-Qwest stated that the CR should stay in development because there were a number of internal systems that had to move through the 90 day development cycle. Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked when she could expect delivery. Suellentrop-Qwest stated that he estimated implementation would come in December 2003.

=================================

CMP Meeting 07-16-03

Sullentrop-Qwest presented the Qwest acceptance. He stated that when Qwest developed the full solution it would follow the appropriate notification process. He stated that this might entail systems changes, but he wasn’t sure if they would be CLEC facing changes. Zimmerman-AT&T asked for Qwest’s tentative implementation date. Sullentrop-Qwest stated that he thought it would take at lease a couple of months. Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked if the systems changes would involve IMA. Suellentrop-Qwest stated that he didn’t think they would involve prioritized systems. He stated that he would have much more information at the August CMP Meeting. He stated that Qwest was looking at a 30 minute meeting window. Zimmerman-AT&T stated that was good. Suellentrop-Qwest stated that this new process would be available for systems other than electronic bonding. Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon had submitted a CR in 2001 (PC092801-2) for the same thing and Qwest denied it. She asked why Qwest was accepting AT&T’s. White-Qwest stated that he would research the reason and correspond directly with Johnson.

1/14/04 Escalation Response SCR030403-01-E21 January 23, 2004

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

Dear Ms. Osborne-Miller:

This letter is in response to your January 16, 2004 escalation # SCR030403-01-E21. In this escalation ATT is requesting two CMP Systems CRs; SCR030403-01 Commit time to be communicated on an Event Report through the attribute "Commitment Time" and SCR042303-01X AT&T Vendor Meet(coordinated dispatch), be implemented by the end of February of 2004.

Qwest is still evaluating these CRs to determine potential implementation timeframes. Specifically, with regards to SCR042303-01X requesting Vendor Meets, Qwest is addressing fairly significant back-end system changes associated with this CR to determine the most efficient ways to get the changes implemented, and is exploring other options that may fulfill the intent of this CR. Additionally, with regards to SCR030403-01 Commit time, this CR does require Qwest working with a contracted vendor and coordinating that development work with additional back-end system requirements.

Given these activities, Qwest cannot commit to an implementation date of the end of February 2004 for these CRs. Qwest will communicate the implementation dates as soon as they are finalized. Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at Lynn.Notarianni@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Director - Information Technologies Qwest

Revised Response November 12, 2003 DRAFT RESPONSE RE: SCR0042303-01X

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of AT&T's Change Request SCR042303-01X. Based upon research that has been conducted following the additional Clarification meetings (held October 16, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the November Systems CMP Meeting.

At the November Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Sincerely, Qwest

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR PC042303-1

This CR requests that vendor meets for non-designed products be made at a specific date and time. AT&T has suggested that all AM vendor meets could take place at 9:00 am and all PM vendor meets take place at 1:00 pm.

A Joint Meet involves Qwest, CLECs, and possibly third party vendors, meeting at a designated location to isolate hard-to-find faults, verify existing trouble and diagnosis, and resolve chronic and repeat problems. Qwest accepts this change request to allow CLECs to request a joint meet at a specific time. Qwest proposes this CR be moved into development status. Qwest needs to finalize the mechanics of this process, including how far in advance a joint meet request must be made and any system changes that will be required.

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR PC042303-1 AT&T requests that Vendor Meet (coordinated dispatch) requests for non-design POTS service be at specific times.”

This CR requests that vendor meets for non-designed products be made at a specific date and time. AT&T has suggested that all AM vendor meets could take place at 9:00 am and all PM vendor meets take place at 1:00 pm.

The current vendor meet process for non-designed products gives the customer a 4-hour window for the vendor meet. Because of the complexity in evaluating this request, including possible systems changes that may be required, Qwest requests that this CR be moved into Evaluation Status. Qwest will provide an updated response at the July CMP meeting.

Sincerely,

Craig Suellentrop Staff Advocate, Policy & Law Qwest

Description Of Change

Qwest is currently sending rated DUF files when calls cross state borders. DUF files for any call that crosses a state border should not be sent as a rated record. Qwest uses this current process for informational purposes only. AT&T requests that Qwest send the records as unrated, sending to CLECs a 10-01-19 record

Expected Deliverable - Qwest to send all DUF files for calls crossing state borders as unrated calls no later than January 2004.

Hi Lynn, AT&T will not close this CR as there remain issues. We are still seeing rated DUF files pertaining to cross border scenarios. This should not be occurring. I have asked Lydell to have the SME that implemented this CR on our center to center call scheduled for Monday morning of next week. I hope we have permanent resolution and closure by the October meeting. We will see.

Review Description of Change AT&T is requesting that Qwest send all DUF files for calls crossing state borders as unrated calls no later than January 2004.

Discussion Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if this is only for the 10-01-19 record or any toll calls (etc) that cross stated boundaries. Cindy Bray/AT&T stated that this would apply to any unrated call that comes across the DUF and said that Qwest uses this process for informational purposes only. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that you would expect to see a rated call alternately billed. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if Independent Company unrated was included in this request. Cindy Bray/AT&T said no only 'incollect". Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked what the business benefit to AT&T would be. Cindy Bray/AT&T stated that this will eliminate confusion with 'incollects'. Brenda Tibbets/AT&T stated that the state boundary should change the record. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if this was happening in all regions. Cindy Bray/AT&T said she thought this was happening in the Central and Eastern Regions.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted The products impacted are resale and UNE-P

Description Of Change

Qwest is currently sending its Category 11 DUF files under one RAO (Colorado) for all Category 11 activity throughout the 14-state Qwest territory. AT&T requests that Qwest send the Category 11 DUF packs by the state specific RAO the activity reflects. Qwest has a list of state specific RAO’s, and AT&T believes that Qwest should be sending activity using the state specific RAO list. The current Qwest practice makes it very difficult to identify and process records from other states.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest to send Category 11 packs under the state specific RAO no later than January 2004.

March 22, 2004 Email Sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Carla, This CR was Denied back in December. I sent an email to you and to Donna Osborne-Miller with the Denial Response on December 10, 2003. Qwest then provided the Deial Response to the CLEC Community at the December 17th Systems CMP Meeting. I have attached a copy of the CR containing the Denial Response. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- March 22, 2004 Email Received from Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi again Peggy. I was looking over the list you forwarded earlier this morning, and did not see this request. I have been unable to get into the interactive CR site this morning. Do you know what the status of this is? I know I hadn't been attending the Systems meetings for a while - but I am concerned this one fell out of site somehow...maybe it was denied, and just didn't know. At any rate, could you check into this for me? Thank you.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR was denied. There were no comments or questions.

- Received Email from Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: they are going to do the barest of bare in the billing arena, aren't they.

-- December 10, 2003 Email Sent to Carla Pardee & Donna Osborne-Miller at AT&T: Hi Carla and Donna, I am attaching a copy of SCR102703-02 (Change Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO) which contains the Qwest response. This CR will be in the December Systems Distribution Package. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the CR Description and stated that based on the Clarification Call, there does not seem to be a lot of gray area for this request. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest does understand the request and that Qwest is still evaluating this CR. Lynn noted that it seems to be a very large change. This CR was moved to Evaluation Status.

- Clarification Meeting - October 30, 2003 ATTENDEES: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Cindy Bray/AT&T, Brenda Tibbets/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Carrie Stirman/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Alan Zimmerman/Qwest, Don Kerschner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the Description of the CR is: Qwest is currently sending its Category 11 DUF files under one RAO (Colorado) for all Category 11 activity throughout the 14-state Qwest territory. AT&T requests that Qwest send the Category 11 DUF files by the state specific RAO the activity reflects. Qwest has a list of state specific RAO’s, and AT&T believes that Qwest should be sending activity using the state specific RAO list. The current Qwest practice makes it very difficult to identify and process records from other states. Expected Deliverable: Qwest to send Category 11 files under the state specific RAO no later than January 2004. IMPACTED PRODUCTS: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked to confirm that this CR is for UNE-P. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that can also add Resale to the impacted products. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest agreed to make the addition of Resale onto the CR. IMPACTED INTERFACE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked to confirm that this is a CR for Billing. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated yes. DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if AT&T had anything else to add, to the CR description. AT&T had no additional information. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked what questions did Qwest have. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest asked if this CR was related to DUF Packs, not files. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated yes. Don Kerschner/Qwest asked if this was appearing in all regions. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that Central appears with Colorado's RAO and Western with RAO 131, which is Oregon's. Carla stated that Eastern may be RAO for Nebraska. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that they are packed per region, not per state. Kerri Waldner/Qwest asked for the business problem that this creates for AT&T. Cindy Bray/AT&T stated that they need seperated by state to make it easier to process and bill usage. Cindy stated that it would also be easier for AT&T to determine which state a problem is occurring in, when there is a problem. Don Kerschner/Qwest asked if the need is for separate files by state. Alan Zimmerman/Qwest stated that would be separate packs. AT&T stated yes, separate packs. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the CR information should be revised to indicate 'DUF Packs' in lieu of 'DUF Files'. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that yes, the CR should be revised. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would make the revisions to the CR. AT&T stated that this would then be similar to Category 10's. Brenda Tibbets/AT&T asked when this CR would be implemented. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest will now go back and determine what will be needed to make this change and stated that a status would be provided at the November Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy stated may not yet have an implementation date, but a status would be provided. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR will be presented, by AT&T, at the November Systems CMP Meeting. The call was concluded.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR102703-02, dated 10/27/03, titled: Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO.

CR Description: Qwest is currently sending its Category 11 DUF files under one RAO (Colorado) for all Category 11 activity throughout the 14-state Qwest territory. AT&T requests that Qwest send the Category 11 DUF packs by the state specific RAO the activity reflects. Qwest has a list of State Specific RAO’s, and AT&T believes that Qwest should be sending activity using the state specific RAO list. The current Qwest practice makes it very difficult to identify and process records from other states.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): Qwest to send Category 11 packs under the state specific RAO no later than January 2004.

History: A clarification meeting was held on October 30, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest stated that the RAO’s were packed per region, not per state. AT&T stated that they would like to have them separated by state in an effort to allow for easier processing and bill usage. Qwest asked if the CR should be revised to indicate ‘DUF Packs’ in lieu of ‘DUF Files’ since the request was essentially asking for separate packs and not separate files.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR102703-02, Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit. The requested change would require significant system costs and additional resources. Through Qwest’s analysis, it was determined that the information requested in this CR is already provided to the CLECs and can be customized by the CLEC based on their needs/requirements. The applicable TN is provided on each record of the Daily Usage File (DUF). The RAO can be derived using NPA-NXX of the TN. Therefore, all the information that is needed to identify and process records and to bill usage is currently available on the DUF file.

Qwest is denying your request for SCR102703-02, Category 11 DUF Packs by RAO, due to no reasonable demonstrable business benefit.

Sincerely,

Qwest

Description Of Change

AT&T requires Qwest to provide their OSS Chronological Event Log. AT&T had experienced Pre- ordering issues on September 20th. In trying to do a root cause analysis, AT&T requested Qwest’s OSS event log history. All that was provided back to AT&T was general information. AT&T provided it’s detailed documentation of the September 20th connectivity /order flow situation it was encountering to Qwest. The request was escalated to the Qwest Account Manager in order to obtain the accurate detailed log that we were seeking. The Account Manager was told that this would not be provided to AT&T because it was proprietary information and that this needed to be brought to CMP. AT&T is not seeking to infiltrate the proprietary nature of Qwest’s OSS environment. We need Qwest to share what it has documented in those cases where there are order flow issues between the two trading partners. We do not want Qwest’s abbreviated version of what occurred.

We seek relief and resolution to this dilemma immediately. We cannot wait for months to receive this detailed event log as day to day activity occurs and with it the possibility of order flow issues.

Expected Deliverable:

That Qwest will provide it’s documented chronological history logs at CLEC’s request. This includes OSS, ASR or any other electronic environment where such information may be needed.

Donna stated that she discussed, with Randy, the intent of the CR and an occurrence that happened on September 20th. Donna stated that AT&T wants to collect data from Qwest in order for AT&T to do a root cause analysis using a chronological event of what happened and what Qwest thinks happened in order to compare the two. Donna stated that the Clarification Call was held and that AT&T is withdrawing this CR. Donna stated that AT&T will ask for information via a data request and not via a CMP CR. There were no questions or comments. This CR is Withdrawn.

CONFIRM INTERFACE(s): Other due to potential impacts to Directory Listings, IMA, Mediacc, and/or Billing CONFIRM PRODUCTS: All DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked AT&T if they had additional information to share. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated no. Randy Owen/Qwest asked what is meant when AT&T refers to an OSS Event Log. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she has provided information to Cim Chambers (Qwest) and stated that is the same information that she is looking for on an OSS Log. Donna stated is looking for items such as when they call in trouble and a ticket is opened and talks to Qwest; wants to know who talked to and what happened to the ticket. Randy Owen/Qwest asked if AT&T was looking for a log of the SWAT; of who and what was involved with the ticket. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated yes and stated that she would forward some information to Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest). Randy Owen/Qwest asked AT&T how they get from a connectivity issue to a flow-through issue. Randy asked AT&T if they could be more specific about what problem that they are encountering that an Event Log would help with. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that it would help with issue's and problems with pre-order. Cim Chambers/Qwest stated that AT&T is looking for help when information on a pre-order does not make it to Qwest and when Qwest responses do not get to AT&T. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated yes, that's correct. Donna stated that the details that she receives back are vague. Donna stated that flow-through may not be the correct term to use. Donna stated that there is a problem in pre-order and at the order level. Donna also stated that AT&T is also finding discrepencies, which makes determining a root cause, difficult. Donna stated that this results in Qwest determining that the root cause is different than what AT&T determines the root cause to be. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: AT&T to present CR at the November Systems CMP Meeting.

Description Of Change

Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS.

In this respect, AT&T requests that Qwest process bill data and CSRs on the same day for CABS/IABs formatted bills.

Expected Deliverable:

- September 15, 2003 Email Received From Carla Pardee/AT&T: Peggy - sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been on vacation. I talked with our internal client, and they have not experienced any problems with these CABS changes. Consequently, AT&T is willing to close these two CRs. Thanks. See you Thursday. Carla

-- September 10, 2003 Email Sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi Carla -- This email is in regard to 2 of your CMP CR's: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Process Bill Data and CSRs on the same day SCR012103-02 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills These 2 CR's were deployed on July 21, 2003. Would you please let me know if they are ready for closure, at the September Systems CMP Meeting or if there are issues that will prevent closure. If there are issues, please advise me of what they are so that we can research prior to the meeting. We will then be able to provide you with a status of the research, if any is needed. I appreciate any information that you can provide in advance of the CMP Meeting. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is July 2003. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked that the Action Item remain open until she communicates the date to Carla (Pardee/AT&T)

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this is one of the CABS/BOS CRs and at the last meeting we gave a targeted date in May. Lynn stated that we need to communicate new dates. Lynn stated that coding has begun for the Eastern Region and that we are targeting end of July for completion.

This functionality is currently available for the Central and Western Regions. The phased implementation for the Eastern Region began on April 1, 2003 and is targeted for completion on July 21, 2003.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the LOE for this request is 2500 to 3500 hours and the targeted implementation date is May 5, 2003.

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies.

I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated:

ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only.

ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item.

ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item.

ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate.

ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item.

ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true.

ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item.

ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item.

ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item.

Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls.

Carla, The Activity Date data element/field is only valid on the 40-15-05-00 and 40-15-10-00 records so our answer is Yes - we are referencing the 40-15-XX records. As to the conference call dates I am available from 11 AM to 12 Noon on March 4th. I am booked from 12 Noon until 3 PM on March 4th and all day March 5th. Thanks, Mer

Bob and Mer: Can you answer this questions for Qwest? Also, they want to have a follow-up call (this should be a "robust") discussion on either March 4 11am or 1pm EST, or March 5 at 11am or 2pm EST? Thanks.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help.

Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date.

Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

February 25, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi Carla -- I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss the splitting of your CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates. Will any of the dates & times noted below work for you? Please let me know which ones will work and I will get the meeting scheduled.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest

CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed.

Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing

Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set.

Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified.

CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1.

ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2.

ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3.

ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4.

ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5.

ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6.

ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7.

ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8.

ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9.

ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10.

Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

-- DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003

RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates

Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments.

Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting.

Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Description Of Change

QWEST currently does not have a method of adding and deleting blocking on one order using the current BA and BLOCK fields. QWEST supports the following BLOCK ACTIVITY (BA) field values: A (ADD), D (DELETE), N (NO CHANGE) and Z (REMOVE ALL BLOCKING).

AT&T is requesting that QWEST support a valid value of E (END STATE) allowing us to indicate the end state of on subsequent change orders. This will allows us to add and delete blocking within one order (BA = E) instead of sending two orders - one to specify the deletion (BA = D) and another to specify the addition (BA = A). The new BA value of E will in fact behave like a combination of Z (remove all blocking) and A(add) all on one order.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): To be compatible with 14.0.

REVISED RESPONSE March 14, 2003

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

CC: Qwest Communications: Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR022703-17, dated 02/27/03, titled: Account Number Reliability after completion of the order.

CLEC CR Description: CLEC current understanding is that the Account Number is assigned by QWEST after the order is FOC’s and Completed. CLEC will like to rely on this AN from the FOC, SOC, BCN as the AN the CLEC will need to use on all subsequent change orders for a specific account.

CLEC has been told that the AN on the FOC may not be reliable and a subsequent CSR query is in order for subsequent ordering. This adds to time operationally

History: A clarification meeting was held on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR022703-17, Account Number Reliability after completion of the order, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. This request would require Qwest to restructure the manner in which accounts are currently processed through the billing system. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be in the range of $2 - $3 million. In response to trouble ticket 6170469, Qwest will provide the final AN in the billing completion notice (BCN) a.k.a. Posted to be Billed Status Update. By providing the final AN in this notice, Qwest is providing the final AN to the CLEC in a notice therefore eliminating the need for a CLEC to perform a subsequent CSR query. Qwest believes that to provide the AN on the FOC and SOC would require a large, unnecessary expenditure.

Considering that Qwest is prepared to provide the AN on the BCN, Qwest is denying your request for SCR022703-17, Account Number Reliability after completion of the order, based on economic infeasibility.

Sincerely,

Lynn Notarianni Information Technologies Senior Director Qwest

Project Meetings

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T was still validating this request from the 14.0 Release. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Phyllis (Burt/AT&T) if she was ready to close the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that that CR could be closed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that there seems to be a problem with the documentation in that it looks like something wasn’t covered. Phyllis stated that the CR’s intent was to get rid of the customer code. Phyllis stated that for UNE-P POTS, they send an order for a listing change only, with a HB request type, then receive an error stating that a full AN is needed and is looking for the customer code. Phyllis asked if there was anything that can be done to eliminate the customer code. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if a trouble ticket had been opened by AT&T. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she has been working with the EDI Team and that she was advised that the HB was not within the scope of the CR. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T had coded to that, encountered the problem, and now AT&T wants Qwest to fix it until they can re-code. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the intent of the CR was to eliminate the customer code and it was not eliminated for UNE-P. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CR description did state was for all UNE-P so Qwest will look at this, in more detail. Connie stated that she does not know what can be done and stated that the response would go thru the EDI Team. Connie stated that the Act Type of HB was not within this CR’s scope. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the CLECs needed to state all ACT Types on requests. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest was clear in the products and ACT Types in the 14.0 walk-through. There were no additional comments or questions.

-- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T Consumer is cutting to 14.0 on February 14th and asked that the CR remain in CLEC Test until February CMP.

- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T requested that this CR remain in CLEC Test.

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

-- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: A CLEC is requesting that IMA remove or relax the requirement requiring a full AN (including customer code) on subsequent order activity of converted accounts. Today, IMA is rejecting a request if a fully-qualified AN (includes customer code) is not provided on the request; multiple active CSRs match the TN provided on the request and no failed pre-order CSR retrieval attempt has been recorded within the previous 24 hours. With this enhancement, IMA will not require the CLEC to provide Customer Code information on post migration requests. Additional functionality is being added that will help in determining recently or changed converted accounts. This will further enhance the ability to uniquely identify the CLECs CSR.

Products: All Products

Forms Impacted: N/A

Fields Impacted: N/A

ACTs: B, C, D, L, Y, T

Questions & Answers:

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, the existing Account Number field (LSR #7 AN) will still be used to capture the 10 digit BTN. A: Curt Anderson - Qwest responded yes and stated that the field functionality is not changing.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that all products would be implemented, that has a CSR. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest is going to somehow secure the CSR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated with TN & SANO validation. Connie stated that if the SANO does not match, it would reject. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that with migrate by TN, if the SANO doesn’t match, you are to do a pre-order CSR check. Liz stated that if the customer code is not required, it should not be a requirement. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that you might want to check pre-order if the TN & SANO don’t match. Connie noted that if a CLEC doesn’t do pre-order, Qwest will reject. Connie stated that she could confirm that. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was now okay. There were no additional comments or questions. This Action Item is closed.

September 10, 2003 Email sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz -- In regard to your question on the product scope for SCR022703-18 Eliminate CLEC Cus Code Requirement. This CR will be implemented for all products. I have opened an action item to communicate this information at the September Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

- September 5, 2003 Email sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz -- I am checking into your question regarding SCR022703-18 Eliminate CLEC Cus Code Requirement and will send a response soon. The document that listed the products that are in-scope and out-of-scope is located on the Qwest Wholesale web site, URL: http://QWEST.COM/wholesale/cmp/teammeetings.html Please look under the Heading of 'Systems Attachments for August CMP Meeting'. The document is the fourth bulleted item. Let me know if you need further assistance in locating the document. Have a good weekend. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- System

September 3, 2003 Email Received from Liz Balvin/MCI: Kit, At the August CMP, Qwest provided a document titled SCR022703-18 "Eliminate CLEC Customer Code Requirement" with in and out of scope products list. MCI questioned the exclusions given customer code was an internal tracking code imposed by Qwest. MCI understood the CR requested Qwest secure the valid customer code such that the onus would not be placed on CLECs to track, please confirm. In addition, I could not locate the document, can you please provide me a copy. Thanks in advance, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that while Qwest was defining this CR it was determined that not all products were within the scope of this CR, as defined in the document that was brought into the room and posted to the web for those attendees on the phone. IN SCOPE: POTS Resale, Pvt. Line Resale, PAL-Co-Providers, Unbundled Loop, Interim Number Portability, BRI ISDN Resale, Centrex Plus/Centron, Centrex 21, PBX, Analog Line Side Port, Digital Line Side Port, DID In Only Trunks, Designed Trunk Resale, Unbundled Analog DID/PBX Trunk Port, Unbundled DS1 DID/PBX Trunk Port Facility, Unbundled DS1 DID/PBX Trunk, Qwest DSL, Unbundled Distribution Loop, Loop Splitting, Line Splitting, UNE POTS (P or STAR), EEL/UNE Combination, PRI ISDN Resale Facility, PRI ISDN Resale Trunks, UNE-P ISDN BRI, UNE Centrex (P or STAR), UNE Centrex 21 (P or STAR), UNE-P PRI ISDN Facility, UNE-P PRI ISDN Trunk, UNE-P PBX DID In Only Trunk, UNE-P PBX Designed Trunk, UNE P DSS Facility, UNE-P DSS Trunk OUT of SCOPE: Line Sharing, Shared Distribution Loop.

Local Number Portability, Loop Number Portability, Listings Only, Unbundled Distribution Loop with NP - These products are not applicable for ACT=B, C, D, L, Y, or T. Liz Balvin/MCI asked why they were outside of the scope. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that some of products do not have customer codes. Phyllis Burt/AT&T recommended a walk through of the entire IMA 14.0 commitment list. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would hold an ad-hoc meeting before the monthly meeting. Liz Balvin/MCI suggested that Qwest send out a high level explanation of the CRs and then the CLECs could provide questions before the meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest agreed.

- Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting - April 17, 2003

IMA 14.0 INITIAL PRIORITIZATION LIST (ATTACHMENT N) Liz Balvin/MCI asked why the ‘Eliminate CLEC Customer Code Requirement’ CR is considered to be in 14.0 due to the Migrate by TN and SANO CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that while it does make progress towards it, she believes that there are still order types/ request types that are not covered. Lynn asked AT&T if they want this CR to remain. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the CR is actually for all products. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T still very much needs relief from the customer code requirement and the intent of their CR is to remove that requirement. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if it covers all products, then it is a benefit for everyone. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked Liz if she was okay with this. Liz Balvin/MCI stated yes, she is fine.

Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR title and the Description of Change. She asked if there were any additions, changes or questions. Bert-AT&T stated that Qwest currently supported "deny" and "seasonal". She stated that "seasonal" could be restricted at the line level, but that "deny" was only at the account level. She stated that the CR was requesting "deny" at the line level. Paxton-Qwest stated that Qwest did not offer "seasonal" at the line level in the Western Region. She stated that there were large billing differences between "seasonal" and "deny". She stated that the CLECs currently use the Qwest retail collection tool. Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest billed at the account level, not the line level. He stated that Qwest would need to include that change in the LOE for the CR. Bert-AT&T asked if "seasonal" was billed at the line level. Gallegos-Qwest stated that it was, but not in the Western Region where it wasn't an option. Bert-AT&T asked if the LOE for this CR would include the Western Region and if they would have line level restrict for all regions. Gallegos-Qwest stated that the LOE would include all regions, but not for "seasonal". Osborne-Miller-AT&T stated that they did not want two LOEs and that they were requesting line level non-pay for all three regions. Mason-Qwest stated that a charge for restoring a line would be charged at the line level with this change. Carne-Qwest stated that currently non-pay applies to the account level and that restoring was charged at the account level. Sear-Qwest stated that with this change, if the lines were seperated out, then the charge would apply to each TN.

Nolan-Qwest stated that the products impacted would be changed to UNE-P Pots based on the eariler discussion. She asked the team what interfaces would be impacted. Bert-AT&T stated that it was IMA Common.

REVISED RESPONSE March 14, 2003

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

CC: Qwest Communications: Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR022703-22, dated 02/27/03, titled: Line Level restrict for Non Payment.

CLEC CR Description: Particularly for MultiLine accounts. CLEC would like the ability to restrict each line for non Payment individually, one at a time. Additionally, to restore each line one at a time.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): To be compatible with Release 14.0.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR022703-22, Line Level restrict for Non Payment, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. This request would require Qwest to restructure the manner in which accounts are currently processed through the billing system. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be a minimum of $1 million. Qwest believes that to implement a restriction at the line level for non-payment would be cost prohibitive.

Qwest is denying your request for SCR022703-22, Line Level restrict for Non Payment due to economic infeasibility.

Sincerely, Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE March 13, 2003

RE: SCR022703-22 Line Level restrict for Non Payment

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of AT&T's Change Request SCR022703-22. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held March 12, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting.

At the March Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

AT&T requests that QWEST supports a Structured CSR where information is reported for each Service Level TN instead of TN information being provided at the FID level for each USOC.

For Example:

Today QWEST is sending the following:

USOC = Feature 1 (3 way Calling)

FID = TN

FIDDATA = Telephone Number 1

USOC = Feature 2 (Call Waiting)

FID= TN

FIDDATA = Telephone Number 3

USOC = Feature 1 (3 way Calling)

FID = TN

FIDDATA = Telephone Number 2

USOC = Feature 3 (Speed Dial 8)

FID = TN

FIDDATA = Telephone Number 1

All of the information is randomly sent without any type of logical structure. We don’t know how many lines are within the account therefore we have to search thru the entire response to identify the unique line (TNs) and then restructure the CSR response so that this information is reported so that it makes sense to our service reps. They can view every available on each line at a quick glance.

We are requesting via this CR:

Quantity of Lines = 3

Telephone Number 1 has:

Feature 1 (3 way Calling)

Feature 3 (Speed Dial 8)

AT&T requests that QWEST supports a Parsed CSR based on predefined LSOG Fields instead of LICs (Listing Instruction Codes), FID and FID Data (see fields on associated Products forms such as RTY, LTY, PLA, PIC, ALI, LTOS, PIC, LPIC, FEATURE & FEATURE DETAIL)

For Example:

Today QWEST is sending the following:

FID = AL

FIDDATA = (B)(LNR) WINDOW, JANE

FID = LN

FIDDATA = (OCLS) FLEET, CALVIN

QWEST is not parsing the data in the desired LSOG fields. Our Service Reps are required to translate the QWEST specific FID & Listing Instruction Codes (LICs) information in order to understand what the customer currently has in place today.

We are requesting via this CR :

RTY (Record Type) = LAL

LNLN (Listed Last Name) = WINDOW

LNFN (Listed First Name) = JANE

BRO (Business/Residence Placement Override) = R

ALI (Alphanumeric Listing Identifier Code) = B

RTY = LML

LNLN = FLEET

LNFN = CALVIN

DML (Direct Mail List) = O

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

Compatible with Release 14.0.

Project Meetings

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she believed that AT&T had agreed to close this CR during an off-line call. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the CR could be closed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

- March 10, 2004 Conference Call Attendees: Phyllis Burt-AT&T, Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Regina Mosley-AT&T, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, John Gallegos, Qwest, Terri Kilker-Qwest John Gallegos-Qwest stated that he requested the meeting to discuss and ensure that Qwest was going down the right path for this 14.0 candidate. John stated that Qwest did receive Phyllis Burt's email stating that it is not the direction that AT&T wants to go, based on the examples provided by Qwest. Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked if Qwest is now clear. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest is very clear and will make sure that the change that Qwest is currently working on will not take place. John stated that Qwest will not go forward and the bug fix would not go in. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that it impacted main listing only. John Gallegos-Qwest responded correct and will keep it as it is and make no changes. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest asked if the revision to SCR103103-01 needed to be removed. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that it did not need to be removed, the revision stays. John stated that it is just the 14.0 bug that would not go forward. Regina Mosley-AT&T stated that in Phyllis Burt's email, the Qwest example shows the LML under each SNL Loop. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that it what is being requested within SCR103103-01 Parsed and Structured CSR #2. Regina Mosley-AT&T responded okay. John Gallegos-Qwest re-stated that the 14.0 candidate would stay in place and Qwest would not make any more changes for the 14.0 candidate. Phyllis Burt-AT&T asked if any other CLECs have complained. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that they have not and that this is just an impact to AT&T. Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T thanked Qwest for the call. There were no additional questions or comments.

March 8, 2004 Email Received from AT&T: Hi Peggy, I wanted to provide some feedback before our meeting tomorrow. Based on the attachment, it seems that QWEST is proposing to send back multiple LMLs (resulting in multiple SLN Loops for the LML only). As QWEST is probably aware, this is not what AT&T requested. Our discussion was about one LML with multiple LFIDS (resulting in one SLN for each unique listing). See examples below.

As far as I can tell during SATE testing, this issue only occurs with the LML. I think sending multiple LMLs on the PreOrder CSR Response would cause confusion for the CLECs. Based on our IMA 14.0 SATE test results, AT&T Consumer had to modify our software and test this modification so we could handle listing data (SLN Loops) that was not associated to a listing. The QWEST proposed change would require additional code changes by AT&T Consumer since we're not expecting multiple LMLs. If my understanding of the QWEST proposal is correct, I would prefer that QWEST either make the changes as AT&T proposed or leave things the way they are.

For example: If the Customer has three listing one Main (LML) and two Additional Listings (LALs)

Thanks, Phyllis

March 8, 2004 Email Sent to AT&T: I have scheduled the meeting to take place as follows: DATE: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 TIME: 8:30 MT / 10:30 ET CALL-in #: 1-877-564-8688, 8571927 Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

March 8, 2004 Email Sent AT&T: Hi All, Qwest would like to have further discussion with you in regard to your Parsed and Structured CSR Change Request. I have attached a document with some examples that we would like to use in this discussion. It looks like the Qwest calendars are open on Tuesday, March 9th at 12:00 p.m. MT / 2:00 p.m. ET. Please advise if this time works for you. I will then schedule the call and send you the call-in information. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems 303.382.5761

- February 25, 2004 - Conference Call SCR022703-04 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR (deployed with the IMA 14.0 Release) SCR103103-01 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR #2 (currently ranked 13 of 50 in IMA 16.0)

Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Phyllis Burt-AT&T, Regina Mosley-AT&T, Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, Danelle Haynes-Qwest

Purpose: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss the 2 CR’s that were submitted, by AT&T, for Parsed and Structured CSR.

Meeting Discussion: Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that something was noticed as part of the 14.0 release for Part 1 of the 2-CRs. Phyllis stated that EDI was not coming back as AT&T assumed it would, based on disclosure. Phyllis stated that AT&T expected every DL in a separate structure. Phyllis stated that there needs to be a fix for the LFID and stated that Qwest has said that it is not a bug and that the system is working as it was designed. Phyllis stated that her EDI Team suggested that she modify the CR for Part 2 to get the LFID issue taken care of. Phyllis noted that AT&T had sent an email (February 17, 2004) regarding this issue. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the emailed information was received. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T had specifically coded to handle the LFID. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that there have been extensive ad-hoc meetings to identify and close any gaps and noted that the Listing Section was not mentioned or discussed. Conrad Evans/Qwest stated that on previous conference calls, what was discussed was the structuring of the S&E Section. Conrad again stated that the Listing Section was not ever discussed. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she was in agreement that the discussions for Parsed and Structured CSR were regarding the S&E Section and that the Listing Section was not discussed. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the issue and the concern and apologized that AT&T was experiencing difficulty surrounding this candidate. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest really couldn’t do a fix for the 14.0 candidate, as it would be a very large effort for the work that needs to be done for the Listing Section. John stated that AT&T can revise their Parsed and Structured CSR #2 to incorporate the Listing Section. John stated that Qwest understands what AT&T is looking for. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she agrees with revising of the #2 CR (SCR103103-01). Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Phyllis (Burt) could send the revision to her. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked what, in addition to the emailed information, needed to be provided. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the information from the email would be sufficient and could be incorporated into the CR as the revision. John Gallegos/Qwest again apologized for the difficulty that AT&T was having. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T agrees that the Listing Section was not discussed in the original scope of the first CR (SCR022703-04). Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would revise the CR and provide a copy of the revised CR to the participants on the call. There were no additional comments or questions.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments G, H & J): Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is working an open issue with AT&T and the CR needs to remain open. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T Consumer is cutting to 14.0 on February 14th and asked that the CR remain in CLEC Test until February CMP.

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked that this CR remain open for testing. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Restructure the IMA Pre-Order CSR response to identify the Quantity of Lines on an account and display each service level TN with all of its associated Features together. For example, Quantity of Lines on Account = 2 Telephone Number 303 555-1234 has Feature 1 (3 Way Calling) and Feature 3 (Speed Dial 8). (not all inclusive) Telephone Number 303 555-1235 has: Feature 1 (3 Way Calling). Parse CSR response on pre-defined LSOG fields, instead of Listing Instruction Codes, FIDs, and FID data. Pre-order only. IMA Recap functionality is not in scope for this Candidate

Products: All TN based products. Note: Centrex is not included in scope.

Other impacts: Pre order Query /CSR Developer worksheet

Field Impacts: Note: TOS & Title2D are NOT IN SCOPE

Questions & Answers:

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, will the Service and Equipment data be sent as a repeating structure for each TN similar to the RS form (one EDI PO1 segment for each TN). A: Connie Winston - Qwest responded yes and noted that repeating is not a pre-order function. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked if the CLECs would be getting a structured CSR. Connie Winston - Qwest responded yes, the CLECs would be getting a structured CSR.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, will the Account Level data (such as Service Address, Cust code) be sent in the first occurrence of the repeating structure for each TN? A: Connie Winston - Qwest responded no, as there is no relationship to a TN. Connie stated that the account level S&E information would appear at the top of the S&E data before the Line level information. Connie stated that the Service address does not appear in the S&E section, it appears in the listing section. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked how they would appear. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that EDI Disclosure would provide more specifics. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked to confirm that Qwest will give the CLECs information at the TN level. Sue Stott - Qwest responded yes. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that for example, have 3-way calling and call forwarding with 2 lines. Phyllis stated that she doesn’t get TN for line 1 and the associated features. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that Qwest will do that, will show for this TN, these are the features with USOCs and FIDs. Connie stated that the List Section would have USOCs and FIDs. Connie stated that disclosure will make more clear, when is S&E, the account level USOCs will appear first, then repeating will appear. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that Qwest is testing any which way we can to catch any CSR oddities. Connie stated that some oddities have been found and stated that Qwest would share if something were not clear.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, will the Listing data be sent as a repeating structure for each Listing similar to the DL form (one EDI PO1 segment for each listing). A: Connie Winston - Qwest responded that the listing area is repeatable, one time per listing. Connie stated that if more detail is needed for EDI, Qwest would provide it at disclosure meeting. Connie stated that each listing would have parsed information associated with it. Liz Balvin - MCI asked why TOS is out of scope. Monica Manning - Qwest responded that it cannot be derived based upon data on the CSR. Connie Winston - Qwest agreed with Monica’s response. Liz Balvin - MCI stated that it does not matter from an ordering perspective, but asked to confirm that it would not be required. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon stated that Eschelon does get a lot of rejects for an incorrect TOS because the TOS on conversion orders must match what is stored by Qwest. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that Qwest does not need to know the old TOS; Qwest will only need to know the new TOS.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is committed into the IMA 14.0 Release. Connie stated that it was de-scoped, effort will not be done for Centrex. Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if there would be 2 CSR transactions. Connie Winston/Qwest stated just in the response that Qwest sends back. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Centrex would not break. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she was glad that Qwest de-scoped Centrex in order to get this CR into the Release. Bonnie stated that it was the right thing to do because no CLEC asked to have additional products (Centrex) added to the CR. There were no additional comments or questions. This Action Item is closed.

September 10, 2003 Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) advised Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) that Qwest is implementing all the fields that were on AT&T's priority list with the exception of the TOS and TITLE2D fields. Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T) stated that she would send an email to the CLEC Community with this information.

September 9, 2003 Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) if all fields, except for the four that were previously identified, would be implemented. Peggy agreed to check into and call her with info.

September 2, 2003 Meeting Held with CLECs and Qwest: Attendees: Sharon Van Meter/AT&T, Phyllis Burt/AT&T, Connie Winston/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest John Gallegos/Qwest stated that we (Qwest) communicated information to Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA, and Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon on August 29th that this candidate is committed to the IMA 14.0 Release. John stated that this CR was descoped, Centrex functionality, will not be included, and stated that this has been discussed several times, in past meetings. John stated that Donna was agreeable to not having this functionality for Centrex. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that Qwest made Donna's weekend by calling her with the good news last Friday and thanked Qwest. Sharon asked for the deployment date for 14.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is December 8, 2003. Connie thanked all CLECs for their patience in working through this matter. There were no additional coments or questions. The call was concluded.

August 29, 2003: Candidate included in IMA 14.0 Release. John Gallegos and Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest talked with Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T and advised that the candidate made the release but was descoped, will not include functionality for Centrex. John advised that candidate's functionality will be for the UNE-P POTS product, which was the original scope. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T very happy that the cadidate is to be included in 14.0. Donna stated that she was sorry for the other CLECs in the fact that Centrex was removed but agreed that it was not in the original scope. Donna had no other questions or comments.

John Gallegos and Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest left voice mail messages for Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon and Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA advising that this candidate made the release but was descoped, will not include functionality for Centrex. John stated that this candidate's functionality will be for the UNE-P POTS product, which was the original scope. John stated that if there were questions to please contact Peggy Esquibel Reed at 303.896.6332.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that everything stayed the same on the IMA 14.0 Commitment List except #4 SCR022703-04 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR, originated by AT&T. Connie stated that Qwest has had several lockdowns to discuss potential issues with this CR and that most of the problems are associated with the Centrex. Connie said that we need until next Friday, August 29, 2003 to determine if this CR can stay in the release. Connie also said that the AT&T requirements are not changing. DPA is a left-handed FID that changes some of the logic of TN, which may cause address impacts for Centrex. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this could go into a point release. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this could not go into a point release because it is fairly significant. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if it is disclosed it can be in a point release. Connie Winston/Qwest said that there wasn’t a point release scheduled. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that a point release would not work for McLeod because we would code to the new maps and then wouldn’t be able to get our LSRs in. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are looking at several options. On August 29 we will commit or exclude this candidate into the 14.0 release. Connie said that it could be a late adder to the 15.0 Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that her client can’t accept that and asked when was this discovered. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we discovered it just this week and have been meeting daily. Carla Pardee/AT&T said that AT&T doesn’t offer Centrex. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that we understand you need to look at the needs of all CLECs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are still trying for 14.0. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if Qwest would schedule a meeting once a decision is made. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we would schedule a meeting on September 2, 2003. If it is still in, we will send out a notification stating that and then cancel the meeting.

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there was a meeting with Qwest and the CLECs and stated that there are four fields that Qwest thought couldn’t be provided but Qwest is still defining as determining how the data can be derived. Connie stated that the goal is to provide the fields. Connie stated that more information would be provided prior to, or with, packaging. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked that as soon as it is known if it is doable, to please let her know. There were no additional questions or comments. This action item was closed.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the four fields are still being evaluated and that any change to the LOE would be communicated at packaging. There were no additional questions or comments. This action item was closed.

- June 11, 2003 Meeting with Qwest and CLEC Community Attendees: Lori Mendoza-Allegiance, Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Sharon Van Meter-AT&T, James McCluskey-Accenture, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Phyllis Burt-AT&T, Dave Burley-MCI, Regina Mosley-AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest, Deb Roth-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T provided a history of the CR and stated that AT&T resubmitted a list of 13 fields. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest looked at the 'yes' rows on the spreadsheet to see if Qwest could incorporate and keep within the current scope of the CR. Connie stated that a revised LOE would be provided at packaging. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that for the HNTYP field: Qwest is unable to accommodate, cannot be derived from data that is on the CSR. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked for details as to what causes the inability to derive. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the OBF value for HNTYP is 1 - 2 numeric's for different types of hunting. Monica stated that cannot locatethe needed information to derive the type of hunting to translate to a code. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if that was regarding series hunting. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that there are 12 different values in the LSOG and once it hits the account, they can look very similar. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if it is required on the order. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the information is represented in multiple places. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that is on the LSR in order to construct the order correctly, then once the order is constructed it looks similar. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that when is migrating a customer with hunting, needs to populate on the LSR. The CLEC pulls the CSR to populate the LSR and the HNTYP field is one that of the fields. Phyllis asked that if Qwest cannot derive it, how can it be expected that the CLECs can. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would look into that. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that features are migrated and depending on the type, the hunting field on the LSR is populated. Monica stated that it is a complex process and needs to look in multiple places. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if Qwest supports the OBF Guidelines. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that Qwest does not use the hunt codes that are in the OBF (4 & 5). Connie Winston/Qwest stated that need to see if can map to a 4 or a 5. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LTXTY is not supportable by CSR data. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that the OBF set's values for the kind of text and cannot make the determination by looking at the listing information. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if Qwest only supports what is in the disclosur document. Phyllis stated that the whole point of the CR is to take data from the CSR to put onto the order. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that we have discussed the difficulty when there is a stream of data that would have to be parsed out and not specific to a code; that is very difficult. Monica stated that we can take a lower level look at this but it could bring it outside the scope of this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest asked how much of the data, based on the scope, is necessary. Connie stated that the general theme seems to be migrations. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that they have to manually train their AT&T rep's to read the Qwest CSR in order to prevent rejects. Connie Winston/Qwest asked to confirm that when a CLEC is setting up or changing hunting, the CLECs will let Qwest know what the preference is and for migrations, the CLEC wants Qwest to derive and populate the fields. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated yes, for Consumer. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the business side would like that as well. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is requiring on migrations and we can explore how necessary they are on a migration. An option could be to keep the same stuff on a migration. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if Qwest will take a lower level look. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes and that remapping and determining the field would increase the LOE. Connie stated that the business need is to keep the same thing on a migration order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that relaxing the migration rules may not meet the need. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she needs to understand cross reference. Connie Winston/Qwest stated is based on the field. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that when LTXTY comes across, can see if there is a cross reference listing and determine action. Currently, needs to look at the CSR and then determine how to put it on the order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that relaxing the migration rules would not meet the need and would take another look at it. Connie Winston/Qwest staed that STYC cannot be derived from the CSR data. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that there is not 1-piece of data that says is a caption header. Monica stated that this would involve some analysis. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if they can know if indent is causing the problem. Phyllis asked if Qwest can tell them if is staight line or caption. It was stated that the business side only uses straight line. Connie Winston stated that for TOA, it seems to be another migration issue and Qwest needs to understand the need. Connie asked if Res, Bus, Gov, & Military are the values and stated that the translations are difficult. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are still in definition we will see what solutions we can come up with. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if the revised LOE would be provided at the June CMP Meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it would be provided at packaging, which is in July. Connie stated that Qwest will try and keep within scope of the current LOE. There were no additional questions or comments. The call was concluded.

- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we want to provide a status for this CR. Connie stated that the LOE that was provided (3225 to 5375 hours) was for exactly what was noted in the CR. Connie stated that AT&T then provided additional fields for exactly what they are looking for. Connie stated that when Qwest and AT&T met, it was discussed as to whether or not the scope was being clarified or increased. Connie stated that if the scope increases, we would communicate. Connie stated that Qwest does realize that this is a popular CR, as it was ranked #4. Connie noted that Qwest does want to deliver something that you want. Connie noted that AT&T submitted additional information yesterday, they ranked their priority order for the fields. Connie stated that Qwest is doing analysis and are taking everything into consideration and everything that AT&T has suggested. We need to determine if the data is available or if the data needs to be derived and from where. Connie stated that this CR is in Evaluation and asked that if the type of information that AT&T has provided is available for the initial Clarification Meeting, that would allow Qwest to LOE appropriately. Connie stated that we do not currently have an updated LOE but that we will certainly provide it no later than packaging. Connie asked the CLECs if they wanted to go through the AT&T list of fields during this CMP Meeting. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that we might want to take the discussion off-line, outside of the CMP Meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon agreed that an ad-hoc meeting would be better. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the LOE would probably change. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes, it probably would. Connie stated that we might need to do some coding in order to derive the data. Connie stated that the CLECs might want to derive some of the data themselves. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like her IT people on the ad hoc call. Liz stated that this seems to have synergies to an MCI CR, SCR081602-01, which is asking for the creation of fields that do not currently exist. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would look at SCR081602-01 and see if that request is covered in this request. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked what this means to the timelines. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently taking all of the fields into definition and will have to re-LOE. Connie stated that the revised LOE would be provided no later than packaging. Connie noted that the initial LOE’s are fairly high level and once we have defined, we sometimes re-LOE and provide the revised LOE no later than packaging. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there will be an ad hoc call to discuss the details of the matrix provided by AT&T. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if Qwest could provide the revised LOE before the ad hoc call. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it will be provided no later than packaging and stated that we’ve done a swag and the LOE looks to have at lease doubled, but that is just a swag because we have not had the opportunity to define to that level. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked what the purpose of the ad hoc call is. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the ad hoc call would be to discuss the AT&T matrix and ensure that everyone is on the same page. Connie noted that not all CLECs have seen the detail that AT&T has provided. Beth Foster/Qwest noted that 14.0 packaging will take place at the July Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest noted that the Action Item in Report Line Number 11, of Attachment I, can be closed.

-- May 15, 2003 Meeting with AT&T and Qwest

Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Phyllis Burt-AT&T, Regina Mosley-AT&T, Diane Burt-AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest

Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the purpose of the meeting was for a discussion as a result of the new information received from AT&T and to see if AT&T still had an open issue in regard to the format. Connie Winston-Qwest asked for a re-cap of the question from AT&T. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest read the question from the email received from AT&T: “When working this CR, will the format follow the OBF/LSOG guidelines? For example, will you list the account level data in the ATN section of the parsed CSR followed by the individual WTN(s) Features and Feature Details at the line level?” Monica Manning-Qwest stated that some research has been done and that more research is needed in order to provide an accurate response. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the question does require a lot of research. Conrad Evans-Qwest asked for clarification as to the request of AT&T requesting for the account level and the TN level only or for more? Regina Mosley-AT&T stated that primarily is at the account level, TN section and feature detail. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that other ILECs format with the first occurrence at the account level and subsequent occurrences at the line level. Phyllis stated that the CR is asking for the account level and that Regina is also requesting that the line level be sent back. Phyllis recapped that the first occurrence would be at the account level and subsequent occurrences would be at the line level. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status, to the 4/28 AT&T question, at the May CMP Meeting. Connie stated that we might not have the detail but that a status would be provided. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that an action item would be opened for the status. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the requested discussion is due to the fact that a handful of fields were mentioned in the CR, AT&T agreed to provide additional fields that they wanted supported. Qwest anticipated a few more fields. AT&T provided alot more fields. Because there were a lot more fields requested, then what was anticipated, Qwest is doing additional research and Connie stated that the LOE does not reflect the number of fields. Connie stated that Qwest needs to find out how passionate AT&T and the CLECs feel about all the fields that were provided. Connie stated that all of the fields will certainly impact the LOE and will impact what will be in the 14.0 Release. Connie stated that it needs to be determined what the importance is to the CLECs for just the fields that were stated in the CR versus all of the additional fields. Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T stated that what was in the CR were examples and asked if Qwest believed that the CR contained the only fields that AT&T was requesting. Connie Winston-Qwest stated yes, that was the belief and that was what was LOE’d. Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked how much bigger the LOE is to include the additional fields. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that a rough ballpark is that it looks to be double the current LOE. Connie stated that it is a ballpark, it could be less than or more than double the current LOE. Connie stated that Qwest could start looking to see what the LOE would be for the current understanding of the request and will look to see what the LOE would look like for the full scope. Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked Phyllis Burt (AT&T) where AT&T can give & take. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest might not have some of the data, on the CSR, in order to provide it. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that some items are not required on the CSR. Phyllis stated that AT&T needs the items that are required on the CSR and stated that she will need time to research. Connie Winston-AT&T stated that as Qwest goes through definition phase, Qwest could identify what is not on the CSR. Connie stated that for other fields, maybe we could negotiate. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that for the fields that state ‘TBD by Qwest’, in the Word doc, it is up to Qwest to decide. Connie Winston-Qwest asked if those marked as TBD’s, they are not significant to AT&T. Phyllis Burt-AT&T responded yes. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest will get a new LOE and will provide at CMP, we need to discuss with CLECs and Connie asked AT&T to evaluate their required fields. Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked when AT&T needed to supply the information to Qwest. Connie Winston-Qwest stated by the end of the first week of June and asked AT&T if that was doable. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that the fields marked as TBD’s are not being used for UNE-P POTS, but are on the list because doesn’t know if other products need them. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that will focus the re-LOE to the fields marked as New. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that the Products on the CR states as ‘All’ due to the potential needs for products other than UNE-P POTS, which is her interest. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that we would then need to look at the TBD’s as well, to LOE. Phyllis Burt-AT&T stated that she will provide the list of the AT&T required fields. Conrad Evans-Qwest asked if the format on the existing fields was ok, such as for the AN field. Regina Mosley-AT&T stated that the existing formats are ok for the existing fields. There were no other questions or comments. The meeting was adjourned.

- April 24, 2003 Email from Phyllis Burt/AT&T: Attached is the list of new CSR Response (CSRR) fields AT&T Consumer would like supported for this CR.

April 22, 2003 Sent email to AT&T requesting status of action item: Good Afternoon Donna -- Can you provide status regarding the email below, sent to AT&T on April 16th? Thank You, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

-- April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that when doing a pre-order query for CSR in the GUI, it is not different than in EDI. Lynn stated that with the re-cap functionality in the GUI, the data is sorted with TNs and USOCs. In EDI, it is not. Liz Balvin/MCI asked to confirm that a re-cap does sort CSR feature information by TN. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest responded, yes, in the GUI. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that it is the same data and that this feature will be added for EDI in 14.0. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that CSR has been a real struggle for MCI and noted that MCI has had to code to support this. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest has had to as well. Regina Mosely/AT&T stated that Qwest says there is no structure difference but we notice that there are format differences, such as in thoroughfares and directionals. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that the differences discussed with AT&T are between AVQ and CSR. Regina Mosely/AT&T asked if this was only for CSR. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this is isolated to the CSR. Regina Mosely/AT&T asked if it is 2 separate issues for address validation and CSR and asked if there was a CR open for that. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she and Regina would discuss off-line and get a CR submitted. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if this action item could be closed. There was no dissent to close the action item.

- April 16, 2003 Email sent to Phyllis Burt and Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T: Good Morning Phyllis -- I am checking status of an action item that was assigned to you during our Clarification Meeting, held on March 12th. Below is the excerpt from the meeting notes. Can you please advise when we can expect to receive the information? We are at a critical point and are in need of the data. Thank you. EXCERPT FROM MEETING NOTES: Wendy Green/Qwest stated that if the request was for every field on the RS, LSR, and EU forms, she would like AT&T to send a comprehensive list of the fields. Phyllis Burt/AT&T agreed to send the list to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at pesquib@qwest.com Thanks again, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP -- Systems CRPM pesquib@qwest.com

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T introduced Phyllis Burt. Donna reviewed the description of the CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that WorldCom would very much support this and stated that this CR will resolve a number of issues. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this is a need for both the AT&T business partner and the consumer side. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that the Level of Effort is provided on the CR and asked what the thought process was as to how Qwest would accommodate this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is how Qwest reads it into the systems and would need to restructure that. Connie stated that it was similar to PSON in that you have to read the data and interpret it. It is a change in how we read in the data and how we interpret it on the screen. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this will be through IMA. Sue Stott/Qwest stated yes, that is correct. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the IMA GUI is structured and that IMA EDI is not. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she does not know that to be true and stated that things typically behave very similarly in the GUI as in EDI. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that about several weeks ago, AT&T found disparity and is having a meeting with Qwest (Kim Chambers) to discuss. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that an action item would be taken to investigate if the EDI and GUI structures are different. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the EDI team will meet with AT&T to review this. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would also discuss with Kim Chambers (Qwest). Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR will move to pending prioritization

March 12, 2003 Clarification Meeting Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Phyllis Burt/AT&T, Regina Mosley/AT&T, Carla Pardee/AT&T, Diane Burt/AT&T, John Blaszczyk/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Terri Kilker/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest, Wendy Green/Qwest, Jan Martin/Qwest, Denise Martinez/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Rob Mitchell/Qwest, Laurel Nolan/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Mallory Paxton/Qwest, Joan Pfeffer/Qwest, Deb Roth/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Scott Carne/Qwest

Reviewed CR Description: AT&T requests that QWEST supports a Structured CSR where information is reported for each Service Level TN instead of TN information being provided at the FID level for each USOC.

The Expected Deliverable is for compatibility with Release 14.0.

Confirmed Impacted Interface: IMA EDI only

Confirmed Products: UNE-P POTS

Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description. Phyllis Burt/AT&T noted and identified that the CR has duplication and asked Qwest to clean it up. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest agreed to modify the CR to remove the duplication. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that some of the identified fields are not associated to listings; PIC, LPIC, and others. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she wants everything listed to be passed and stated that those listed on the CR are examples only. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that if the request was for every field on the RS, LSR, and EU forms, she would like AT&T to send a comprehensive list of the fields. Phyllis Burt/AT&T agreed to send the list to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at pesquib@qwest.com Monica Manning/Qwest stated that it might make sense to use the LSOG Guide for Customer Service Inquiry for the fields. There were no additional questions or comments.

Action Plan: This CR will be presented by AT&T at the March 20th CMP Meeting and Qwest will be providing the CR response.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented this CR and stated that this CR was in denied status. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked AT&T if this was an old CR. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the previous CR had been canceled a year and a half ago and that this CR is a new request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she remembered discussing the old CR and that CORBA would be more user friendly. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Qwest to elaborate on the denial response. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that denial is due to the expense of implementation and ongoing expense due to a third pre-order interface. Lynn stated that the benefits do not justify the extreme expense of maintaining three interfaces. Lynn stated that from a Qwest perspective, pre-order is already defined in EDI and it works in EDI. Lynn stated that there were some compares done of response time in EDI and GUI and stated that no significant difference was found. Lynn stated that Qwest understands that other ILECs have gone with CORBA but that economically we couldn’t see moving forward with CORBA. Lynn stated that what Qwest has experienced, several years ago, was that when Qwest was the first to go with a real-time system for pre-order transactions. Lynn stated that Qwest is not comfortable enough yet that CORBA is an industry movement, to justify the cost.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR022703-05, dated 02/27/03, titled: PreOrder CORBA.

CR Description: QWEST does not support CORBA for PreOrder transactions today. AT&T would like QWEST to consider developing PreOrder CORBA capabilities. We believe higher performance measures can be reached.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): To be compatible with Release 14.0.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Wednesday March 12, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR022703-05, PreOrder CORBA., and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit in relationship to the associated costs. This request would require Qwest to develop an additional interface to IMA requiring Qwest to maintain 3 separate & multiple versions of IMA interfaces (GUI, EDI, and CORBA). Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be $1.5 million and would also require significant maintenance costs and additional resources which Qwest estimates would be around $500K per release. Qwest believes that a move towards CORBA for PreOrder would not result in a reasonable business benefit to warrant the expense of this change.

In light of the information currently available to CLECs for PreOrder functionality, the cost prohibitive requirement for implementing this request, and no perceivable reasonable demonstrable business benefit for the associated costs, Qwest is denying your request for SCR022703-05, PreOrder CORBA.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

QWEST requires each account must have one main listing. QWEST currently, has the following rules regarding the Main Listing causing several problems. AT&T Request that these restrictions be eliminated.

For DL #9 LACT (Listing Activity) the Rule states that the Listing Activity can not be set to:

- delete main listing ( LACT =D & RTY= LML)

- new main listing (LACT=N & RTY=LML) unless this is a New or Move Order (ACT = N or T).

This rules prevent a New Main listing from being created during a partial migration when an additional listing does not exist. (not permitted to create LACT=N, RTY=LML for ACT=V)

For RTY #11 RTY (Record Type) the Rule states that when the Listing Activity Pair of Old and New (LACT = I and O) are used then the RTY must be the same.

This rules prevents an additional listing to be reassigned as a main listing (using LACT = I & O with RTY from LAL to LML) on Partial Migration where an additional listing exists and Change Orders where the LTN for the main listing is being disconnected. The previous LACT rules prevents an additional listing to be reassigned as a main listing (using LACT N & D with RTY from LAL to LML)

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): To be compatible with Release 14.0.

3/20/03 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the CR and noted that during the Clarification Call, it was mentioned that the 12.0 Release may have taken care of this issue. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that as part of 12.0, we added the ability to provide a listing activity value of ‘N’ on a conversion, which resolves these issues. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if the business rules could be updated to indicate that they can use the Activity Value of ‘N’. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that she thought that this was already done and stated that if was not, it would be. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked why this was for GUI only. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that it should be Common. Wendy Green stated that it probably should be common, but because this is going to be withdrawn, it wasn’t updated. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR will move to Withdrawn status. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked how the documentation updates would be tracked if this CR were withdrawn. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that a Global Action Item would be opened for tracking purposes.

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T was still validating this request from the 14.0 Release. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Phyllis (Burt/AT&T) if she was ready to close the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that that CR could be closed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T Consumer just migrated to 14.0 on February 14th, so would like CR to remain open for validation.

-- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T Consumer is cutting to 14.0 on February 14th and asked that the CR remain in CLEC Test until February CMP.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked that this CR remain open for testing. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the information {Bullet Points}is located in the Project Meetings Section of the CR itself and asked all to please review it and bring their questions forward. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would like to have Phyllis Burt (AT&T) review it. This action item remained opened. Liz Balvin/MCI asked what Qwest’s definition of BTN is. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is the first line that the CLEC has established on a migration; it is whatever the CLEC denotes it to be. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked if the LNUM1 is the first line. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes. The action item is closed.

October 10, 2003 Action Item from 14.0 Hi-Level Walk-thru: Provide Bullet Points of ACT Types & How Order Activity Will be Generated for Support Partial Moves CMP CR Bullet Points for Action Item: LISTING SCENARIOS: LSR & DL ACTIVITIES

NOTE: Qwest will only address changes for TNs listed on the LSR/DL forms. TNs not addressed on the LSR/DL form will remain as they are on the account. Scenario1: Old End User Location Arrangement: Multi Line Account with one or more TNs moving to the new account.

1a) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN and LML remain on the original account Additional listing (AL) is present on the account ACT = T LNA = N LACT = D to remove the AL from the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account. This LML will be associated with the BTN.

1b) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN and LML remain on the original account Additional listing (AL) is NOT present on the account and will become associated with new BTN and LML. ACT = T LNA = N LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account. This LML will be associated with the new BTN.

Scenario 2: Old End User Location Arrangement: Multi Line Account with one or more TNs moving to the new account.

2a) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN remains on the original account LML moving to the new account ACT = T LNA = N LACT = O to remove the LML from the original account LACT = I to establish the new LML for the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account

Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: Additional listings (AL) are present on the account; 1 AL moving to the new account ACT = T LNA = N LACT = D to remove the AL from the original account LACT = N to establish the AL for the new account

2b) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN remains on the original account LML moving to the new account ACT = T LNA = N LACT = O to remove the LML from the original account LACT = I to establish the new LML for the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account

Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: Additional listings (AL) are NOT present on the account. ACT = T LNA = N Would not have an LACT

Scenario 3: Old End User Location Arrangement: Multi Line account with one or more TNs moving to the new location

3a) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN and LML are moving to the new account. Original account will have a new BTN and LML ACT = T LNA = N LACT = O to remove the LML from the original account LACT = I to establish the new LML for the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account.

Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: Additional listings (AL) are also present; 1 AL moving to new account ACT = T LNA = N LACT = D to remove the AL from the original account LACT = N to establish the AL on the new account.

3b) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN and LML are moving to the new account. Original account will have a new BTN and LML ACT = T LNA = N LACT = O to remove the LML from the original account LACT = I to establish the new LML for the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account.

Desired Outcome for New and Old Location is: Additional listings (AL) are NOT present on the account. ACT = T LNA = N Would not have an LACT

Scenario 4: Old End User Location Arrangement: Multi Line account with one or more TNs moving to the new location.

4a) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN is moving to new location Original LML is remaining on the original account LSR = T LNA = N LACT = O to remove the LML on the original account (Update the LTN) LACT = I to establish the new LML with new LTN for the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account Desired Outcome for New and Old Location is: Additional listings (AL) are present on the account; 1 AL is moving to the new account LSR = T LNA = N LACT = D to remove the AL from the original account LACT = N to establish the AL for the new account

4b) Desired Outcome for New and Old Locations is: BTN is moving to new location Original LML is remaining on the original account LSR = T LNA = N LACT = O to remove the LML on the original account (Update the TN) LACT = I to establish the new LML with new LTN for the original account LACT = N to establish the LML for the new account Desired Outcome for New and Old Location is: Additional listings (AL) are NOT present on the account; 1 AL is moving to the new account LSR = T LNA = N Would not have an LACT

REMINDER: Qwest will only address changes for TNs listed on the LSR/DL forms. TNs not addressed on the LSR/DL form will remain as they are on the account.

- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: A CLEC has requested the ability to move one or more lines from a multi-line account to a new location and account, retain the original TN(s) for each line, and not disturb the remaining lines on the original account. In order to perform this functionality today, Qwest requires that the CLEC submit two LSRs. The CLEC has requested that this functionality be implemented using only one LSR with an ACT=T, LNA=N.

Products: UNE-POTS (P or STAR) Resale POTS

Forms Impacted: LSR DL

Fields Impacted: The Partial Move Indicator (PMI) field will be added to LSR form, that when populated with a ‘Y’, will indicate that the request is for a partial move to a new location.

ACTs: For ACT=T, added valid LACT values of D, I, and O.

Questions & Answers:

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, for UNEP POTS Move Orders we currently send all listings as new (LACT=N) similar to a new install, why is the LACT of I, O & D being allowed? A: Curt Anderson - Qwest responded that the existing TN’s would remain.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, for UNEP POTS Move Orders how do we perform a partial move where the currently assigned Account Number and Main Listing are moving? For example Customer John Doe has 3 lines and 3 listings (one main and two additional listings). How do we move the existing main account number and main listing and reassign a new main account number and new main listing for the remaining two lines? A: Curt Anderson - Qwest stated that the CLEC would have 4 LACT’s: LACT = D to remove additional listing at the old end user account. LACT = O to out the old main listing, at the old end user location. LACT = I to in the new main listing, at the old end user location. LACT = N new LML at new end user account. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked if Qwest would know what account. Curt Anderson - Qwest responded yes, by the LTN field. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked what would be the old TN. Curt Anderson - Qwest stated by the TN or LTN field. Stephanie Prull - McLeodUSA asked how determine the main TN if there are 2 TN’s. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that was her scenario. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that have BTN & LML, the old account needs BTN & LML, using S&E TN to be BTN, LML going to the new address, asked how the LML is chosen. Curt Anderson - AT&T responded with a LACT = I. Phyllis Burt - AT&T responded okay. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if there would ever be I of LML or N of LML. Curt Anderson - Qwest stated that the edits would change. Connie Winston - Qwest stated to support ACT = T. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that from Consumer perspective, this solution won’t work because of account structure. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that it would exist on the CSR for the account the CLEC is moving. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that she would verify with her systems folks. Terri Kilker - Qwest stated that Qwest could provide bullet points of ACT Type need and how order activity will be generated.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Action Item: - Confirm that the first line will be the BTN. - Provide bullet points of ACT Types and how order activity will be generated.

March 27, 2003 Conference Call (AT&T and Qwest):

ATTENDEES: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Phyllis Burt/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Beth Foster/Qwest, Terri Kilker/Qwest, Kit Thomte/Qwest, Connie Winston/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Sue Stott/Qwest, Becky Sterk/Qwest DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of this call was for further clarification on the request to determine if there are systems impacts for inclusion in the IMA 14.0 prioritization. Terri Kilker/Qwest stated that the current process was generating 2 LSR’s. 1st LSR is a ‘C’ order to move the TN to the new location and maybe identifying a new BTN. 2nd LSR is an ‘N’ order with the RPON relating the 2 LSR’s. Connie Winston/Qwest asked to clarify that the ‘C’ order was to disconnect the line and reestablish or add. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the ‘C’ with LNA of D was to disconnect, with the RPON to relate the disconnect to the ‘N’, the add. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that on the Clarification Call it was stated that we already do this and not much further discussion took place. Connie stated that when IT was asked for the Level of Effort, they met to determine there could be a system change to support the existing process in a better way. Connie noted that the CR did not clearly state what system change was being requested. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked regarding the current process, is any of it system driven or is it all manual handling. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the first order flows thru and when there is an RPON on the LSR, the service order is created but the Center has to review the order, validate it, then they let it flow. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated for clarification that the first order flows thru and the second order falls out for manual handling. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the system can’t make decisions so there is human intervention to help out. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the CR is vague because Qwest did not provide answer’s to a question, for a single line move with a T what happens if 1 line is specified. Phyllis stated that AT&T’s desire is for 1 LSR, not 2. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she was concerned that this CR was removed from the ballot. Donna stated that there should have been a conversation prior to the removal from the ballot. Donna stated that Qwest had previously stated that a process existed but that it was not documented. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the concern. Connie stated that when it was stated that a current process existed, this was not taken any further due to the fact that it was stated that the process needed to be documented. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T wants this CR on the ballot. Connie Winston/Qwest asked what is to be put on the ballot, as there is no system work’s for this request. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that her client (Phyllis) wants a system change for the ability to order via 1 LSR, not 2. Donna stated that is what should be LOE’d and part of the vote. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked what happens today, if you don’t do a multi-line. Terri Kilker/Qwest stated that it is rejecting but not from a system perspective, is from a process perspective. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this call is the first time that the request of 1 LSR was heard and stated that this would be a significant change. Connie stated that this would need to be defined. Connie stated that Qwest did not have that clarification and apologized. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that might be due to the fact that she had the conversation with Wendy (Qwest). Phyllis stated that she wants to do a move order, do 1 line, and establish account at a new location. Terri Kilker/Qwest stated that Qwest did not understand that AT&T was requesting this to be 1 LSR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the process needs to be documented but was not aware that 1 LSR was the request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort would be fairly significant and asked Kit how would this CR be added to the vote. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that a revised ballot could be sent and stated that no votes have been received as yet. Kit stated that a Communicator could be sent that a candidate was omitted from the original ballot. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LOE would be very hi-level as this is new information and Qwest needs time to see what the system can do for this request. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked what kind of timeframe is being looked at for the LOE. Donna stated that AT&T is willing to take that risk and that there could have been better clarification from both sides. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it would be a fairly hi LOE and will take a look at the request, along with the development partners. Connie stated that would try to have the LOE by noon (MT) tomorrow. Becky Sterk/Qwest stated that as a development group, would appreciate further clarification. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that all appropriate edits and things would need to be checked and done for an active T where only 1 line is done. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that for example, for 3 lines with 1 of them moving and 1 disconnecting (UNE-P POTS) an ACT = T with N & D in LNA. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the orders would still get a C & an N on FOC. LNA of N would be removed. LNA of T would move to new account. If 1 of the accounts, N or D is the BTN, we will automatically make that the BTN and would be on the FOC. Sue Stott/Qwest asked if there are 10 lines, is the bottom line that when you want to do activity on 3 lines, all others are to remain whole. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated yes, if there are 3 roommates, you could have 2 move orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that don’t know how, this would be 2 new addresses. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that it would be 2 separate LSR’s for move orders. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that the trick is that you (AT&T) are asking for 1 LSR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated would be 1 LSR per location. If the roommates go to different locations, would send 2 LSRs with an ACT = T. Connie Winston/Qwest asked to clarify that if there are 3 roommates and 2 lines are moving to different addresses, AT&T would send 2 LSR’s due to different locations; 1 LSR would have an ACT = T, the 2nd LSR would have an ACT = T and LNA = N to establish the next one. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated correct. Needs to know if can do at the same time. Terri Kilker/Qwest stated that if moving 2, would be 2 LSRs and both would have ACT = T. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated yes, because moving the customer and retaining the TN. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the 2nd LSR would get stopped for Center involvement. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that they could wait until the first LSR completes before sends in the second LSR, AT&T would just need to know how to do that. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is a complicated change and Qwest needs to make sure that the orders do not get mixed up. Connie asked if the Qwest developer’s needed further clarification. Becky Sterk/Qwest asked where would IMA get information for where the other lines are going to reside; the new addresses. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated on the move order. Becky Sterk/Qwest said ok. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she has a hi level idea of the request and now needs to get with the development team to LOE. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she wants to assure AT&T that Qwest did not cross this over to get rid of it and stated that Qwest truly believed that the process was the issue. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T has never submitted that many CRs at once and understands that Qwest was on a fast track due to prioritization. Donna stated that she appreciates the allowance with the team getting together to further discuss. Donna stated that she can provide Qwest with Phyllis’ TN if needs further clarification later in the day. Donna provided Phyllis’ number. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we have a better idea, we had no idea prior to this call of what system change was being requested. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if we are still looking at noon (MT) tomorrow for the LOE. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that a notification would be sent tomorrow with the revised ballot. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she wants to make sure that the process is documented externally. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that there has been a Global Action Item opened on the Product/Process side for the external documentation. There were no other questions or comments. The call was concluded.

- March 20 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she spoke with Wendy Green (Qwest) and Wendy was going to evaluate what happens with migrations. Wendy Green/Qwest asked John Gallegos (Qwest) if he had any additional information regarding the functionality. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this CR is in evaluation due to needed investigation. John stated that during the clarification call we thought this functionality was already available. If we find that it is not, Qwest will provide the Level of Effort on the 14.0 ballot. Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if this was about using the active T to do a partial move. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated yes. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this would also be for GUI. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes and that the CR does reflect IMA Common. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if any system changes are needed, Qwest would provide an LOE and the CR would be added to the ballot. Connie stated that if no system changes were needed, the CLEC would be advised. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the process needs to be documented if it is not. Connie Winston stated that this can be LOE’d and in the vote and if it is existing, an action item will be opened. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that she would like to have this CR withdrawn and an action item opened for the process. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that they have been told to use an active N, not an active T. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that an action item would be opened and that the process would be clearly stated in a notification. John stated that if systems work is needed, the LOE would be provided. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she did not want to withdraw this CR if a process exists. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the CR will remain open to see where the information lands and potentially could have an action item. The CLECs agreed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the CR can also be for UNE-P CTX 21, Resale POTS, and Resale CTX 21. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the addition of the products might jeopardize getting the LOE. John stated within the application, needs to check scenerios for all products. John stated that he may or may not be able to get the LOE in time for the vote. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would like the LOE for UNE-P POTS and the LOE for all others. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she does not want to jeopardize this CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that if cannot get the LOE for all products in time for prioritization. Qwest will provide the LOE for UNE-P POTS only for the vote.

Clarification Meeting - March 12, 2003 Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Phyllis Burt/AT&T, Regina Mosley/AT&T, Carla Pardee/AT&T, Diane Burt/AT&T, John Blaszczyk/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Terri Kilker/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest, Wendy Green/Qwest, Jan Martin/Qwest, Denise Martinez/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Rob Mitchell/Qwest, Laurel Nolan/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Mallory Paxton/Qwest, Joan Pfeffer/Qwest, Deb Roth/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Scott Carne/Qwest

Reviewed CR Description: Scenario: Multi Line account. Roommates split but move near by and want to retain TN. For example; WTN from account wishes to move across the street and retain their TN. This would be a single line move order only for one of the WTNs on the MultiLine account. Do not wish to disturb the remaining account.

Expected Deliverables: To be compatible with Release 14.0.

Confirmed Impacted Interface: IMA Common

Confirmed Products: UNE-P POTS

Discussion: Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that this may be covered with 11.0. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that she has no new information. There were no additional questions or comment regarding the request.

Action Plan: This CR will be presented by AT&T at the March 20th CMP Meeting and Qwest will be providing the CR response.

Project Meetings

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the CR. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this is for documentation and we are looking at this CR to be a crossover to Product/Process. John asked if AT&T agreed. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated to Phyllis Burt (AT&T) that there are no systems implications for this request so it will be crossed-over to the Product/Process forum. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked how the determination is made as to whether a request is systems or product/process. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that if it is determined that there is a manual solution, the business keeps track of the CR and is a Product/Process definition. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that these things are handled on the operation’s side of the house. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she is in full support of this and asked for the product’s to be expanded to All products. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the business was agreeable to the expansion of products. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if Qwest would revise to All products. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would revise the CR to change Impacted Product’s to All. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she would also like this for All products. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that she agreed that this should be for All products. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if there was agreement and understanding that this CR gets crossed-over to Product/Process. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that she is in full agreement that this is Product/Process. Mallory stated that she is currently working on something similar to this and this is a documentation issue. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR would be crossed-over to Product/Process.

Description Of Change

Current QWEST requires the following ILEC specific information on the order for Line Level USOC.

AT&T requests that QWEST system generate this ILEC specific requirement based on the LSOG LTOS (LSOG field not currently supported by QWEST).

For example:

- QWEST should use the LTOS (Line Type of Service) field on the RS form.

- QWEST has an ILEC specific requirement that we supply the LINE LEVEL USOC on the RS Form.

- QWEST should system generate this ILEC specific data based on the LSOG LTOS field instead of requiring CLECs to reported this information in a different format.

Project Meetings

February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Sharon Van Meter-AT&T stated that this CR is a low priority for AT&T and that they would like to withdraw this CR.

- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated this was low for AT&T.

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

-- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this is a low priority for AT&T Consumer and a high priority for AT&T Business.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that their interest in this CR was low.

-- April 3, 2003 Email received from AT&T: Hi Peggy, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Yes, the revised version is ok with me. Thanks, Phyllis

April 3, 2003 Email sent to Donna O-M and Phyllis B. at AT&T: Good Morning -- Have you made a decision as to the revision of this CR? Please advise. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

- March 28, 2003 Email sent to AT&T: Hi Donna & Phyllis -- During the March Systems CMP Meeting there was discussion regarding this CR, SCR022703-10 (System Generate QWEST Specific information). During that discussion I believe there was agreement that this CR was for the LTOS Field only. An Action Item was created, and assigned to Phyllis Burt, to send Qwest a revised CR. I have not as yet received the revision. I know everyone is extremely busy....so....I have made a proposed draft revision to the CR. I am attaching a copy of the current CR and a copy of the draft revision. Revision's were made to the CR Title and Description only, the remaining text will stay the same. Please review the proposed revision and send me your concurrence OR if changes are needed, feel free do make them on the Word doc and send back to me for review. Be assured, I have NOT made any revisions to your actual CR, the revision is only a copy with the draft revised language. As soon as we have agreement on the revised language, I will make the appropriate changes to the CR, if you are ok with that. If you feel more comfortable, you can submit the revised CR via the CMP CR Form to cmpcr@qwest.com Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

-- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T reviewed with Wendy Green (Qwest) for the first portion of the CR, regarding TN FIDs, that the documentation on the Website was incorrect. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that Qwest is updating the Feature’s documentation and suggested that it be a global action item for tracking in this forum. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that she agreed. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked what the documentation was called. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that it was part of the PCAT. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said thank you. Wendy Green/Qwest asked AT&T if they believed that the other two portions of the CR were covered in Mallory Paxton’s (Qwest) CR (SCR022103-01). Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the billing USOCs are taken care of with Mallory’s CR. Phyllis stated that she was not sure if the line level USOCs, TBE, are addressed in Mallory’s CR. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that her CR will generate USOCs and FIDs and that the TBE would be covered. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if she had to only provide the line level USOC. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated if the block field indicates the you are requesting screening. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she will revise the CR to be for the LTOS field only. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that she would need to look into that as Qwest does not support that field. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if this CR is now only for the LTOS field. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated yes, that Mallory’s CR will satisfy AT&T’s need, except for LTOS. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the LOE will be revised for LTOS only. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LOE may not change as LTOS is a significant piece of work. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the revised LOE would be available prior to the ballot going out. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the correct LOE would be on the ballot. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T recapped that the TN FID is documentation, Blocking will be Mallory’s CR, and LTOS will be what this CR is for. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other questions. There were no further questions or comments.

-- March 12, 2003 Email from AT&T: Hi Wendy, As a follow-up to our QWEST CR clarification call today. Here are the QWEST links that provide the TN FID Order requirement for multiline orders.

"Feature Detail (FID and Data Requirements) Include the FID TN and the 10-digit telephone number in the Feature Detail when the account is multi-line; e.g., N NSD/TN NPA-nnn-nnnn. "

This is just a sample list. This requirement is mentioned on almost every QWEST feature:

http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/callerid.html http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/callwaiting.html http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/callwaitingid.html http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/callforwardvariable.html http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/customringing.html http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/lastcallreturn.html

Please confirm that the QWEST documentation is incorrect and that QWEST require this information for any feature. AT&T Consumer will keep this logic in place until we receive confirmation.

Thanks,

Phyllis

Reviewed CR Description: Current QWEST requires the following ILEC specific information on the order

- TN FIDs on Features for Multi-line Accounts. AT&T requests that QWEST system generate this ILEC specific requirement based on the LSOG TNS field provided on the order.

For example: We populate the TNS field on the RS form for each telephone on the RS form. QWEST has an ILEC specific requirement that we also specify the telephone on each feature on the RS form as well for a multi-line account. QWEST should system generate this ILEC specific data based on the LSOG fields instead of requiring CLECs to reported this information in two separate formats.

- BLOCK USOCs AT&T requests that QWEST system generate this ILEC specific requirement based on the LSOG BLOCK field provided on the order.

For example: We populate the BLOCK field on the RS form. QWEST has an ILEC specific requirement that we supply the BLOCK USOC that corresponds to each BLOCK value on the RS form. QWEST should system generate this ILEC specific data based on the LSOG fields instead of requiring CLECs to reported this information in two separate formats.

- LINE LEVEL USOC with TBE information AT&T requests that QWEST system generate this ILEC specific requirement based on the LSOG LTOS (LSOG field not currently supported by QWEST) and BLOCK field.

For example: QWEST should use the LTOS (Line Type of Service) field on the RS form. QWEST has an ILEC specific requirement that we supply the LINE LEVEL USOC and the Toll Billing Exception BLOCK option as a FEATURE on the RS form. QWEST should system generate this ILEC specific data based on the LSOG LTOS and BLOCK fields instead of requiring CLECs to reported this information in a different format.

Expected Deliverables: To be compatible with Release 14.0.

Confirmed Impacted Interface: IMA Common

Confirmed Products: UNE-P POTS

Discussion: Wendy Green/Qwest stated that when placing an order, you don’t have to input the TN, it is derived from the TNS field. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that is basing this per current documentation. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that in EDI, it is not a requirement. Wendy Green (Qwest) and Phyllis (AT&T) agreed to look into off-line. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she will modify the CR, if needed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she wants the documentation to be consistent. Wendy Green/Qwest agreed with Carla. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that she has originated a new CMP CR, SCR022103-01 IMA Revise BA & BLOCK Fields on RS & CRS Forms, which will do what is being asked for here. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if line level TBE is being addressed. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that she thought it was and if not, she would revise her CR to include it. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that if that is the case, this CR may be withdrawn.

Action Plan: This CR will be presented by AT&T at the March 20th CMP Meeting and Qwest will be providing the CR response.

Description Of Change

Qwest's OSS limitation prevents Qwest from modifying and updating due dates on missed commits. Qwest today,communicates changes to commitment time via a narrative field (add'l. status info.) Receipt of information in a narrative field prohibits any tracking of missed commits and "new" commit performance. This narrative field is "overwritten"as new narratives are received, therefore it is not keeping a historical record of status messages sent. How are new commitments tracked, monitored and met? Does Qwest's OSS keep the entire history of status messages sent, or only the last status message sent in this field? Does Qwest use a specific and consistent text string to communicate missed commitments and new commitment dates that AT&T can use to indentiry these transactions in their system?

Expected deliverable: Utilize the attribute "commitment time" and for this information to be communicated on an Event Report.

Introduction of Attendees Craig Zimmerman/AT&T, Lydia Braze/AT&T, Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T, Kim Isaacs/Eschelon, Stephanie Prull/McLeod, Liz Balvin/MCI, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Julie Pickar/US Link, Jackie Dibold/Qwest, Dan Busetti/Qwest, Cathy Auguston/Qwest, Daronna Landon/Qwest, Craig Suellontrop/Qwest, Cathy Garcia/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Beth Foster/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein

Review purpose of meeting The purpose of this meeting was to walk through the process of how this CR will impact work associated with cable cuts, company load misses, and no access. AT&T also will provide an update on whether or not they will accept the call and the electronic message.

Craig Suellontrop/Qwest provided the walk through on cable cuts, company loads, and no access. Cable Cuts - The CLEC has submitted a ticket before being aware that there has been a cable cut. The CLEC will be notified of the new commitment date. CEMR will also sent out an electronic message to the CLEC with the new commitment date. Company Load Miss Qwest will contact the CLEC with the new date and time if Qwest has missed a commitment due to company work load. Qwest will create a subsequent repair ticket with the new commit date and time. CEMR to sent out an electronic message to the CLEC with the new date and time. No Access If the Field Tech can not get access at the end user customer premise, the Tech will call the CLEC to renegotiate access. The CLEC will contact their end user customer to determine new date and time. The CLEC will call the Qwest Tech with access date and time. An electronic message will be sent to the CLEC with the new date and time. If the Field Tech can not make contact with CLEC, Qwest will continue to contact the CLEC. Once contact is made, Qwest will inform the CLEC that they need to contact their end user customer to determine the new date and time. The subsequent ticket will trigger CEMR to send out electronic message to the CLEC with the new date and time.

Craig Zimmerman/AT&T stated that AT&T can live with the Call and the Electronic Message.

There were no further questions associated on how this CR will impact the changes to the commit time.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we currently do not have a scheduled date. Lynn said that a meeting will be held on September 19, 2003 to walk through the process on how cable cuts, Company Load Misses, and No Access will be impacted if this change is implemented. Lynn also stated that we need one process for all CLECs. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she will have the answer tomorrow as to whether AT&T will accept the telephone call and the electronic message.

Scott, This request does involve MEDIACC and CEMR users. The products impacted are UNE-P and Resale. Hope that answers your questions. Thanks.

E-mail received 9/15/03 Lynn,

Do you know if this request only involves MEDIACC users, or does it also involve CEMR users? Also, I don't believe it is only limited to the UNE-P product?

Hello,

I'm sending this CMP meeting notification as an FYI. Gayla, Cheri and I previously asked for your input regarding the manner of notification (call or email) you would like to receive if a commit time changed on one of your pending orders. This meeting next week is being held to discuss the current process, as well as AT&T's request to change the process.

8/21/03 CMP systems meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest reviewed the history of the CR. She stated that Qwest had worked with the service management team to discuss the change with all CEMR and MEDIACC users. She noted that 70% of the respondents wanted the call and that some wanted both a call and the email. She continued that because it was a process change for network, Qwest was not currently at a point where they could move forward with the change without further investigation. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that initially she had asked for a separate status and that Qwest was going to research an alternative solution. She stated that the team had discussed putting the information into the subject line to communicate that the commitment time had changed. She stated that if the team could resolve the issue, perhaps the change could move forward. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Dan Busetti/Qwest could address the email subject, but that she understood that several CLECs still wanted the call to negotiate the timeline. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that it was not possible to send a change in the commitment time in a status because of the standards guidelines set by TSIF. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there is any way to create something that would tell the CLECs that the status had changed. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that would require a change in the national standard. He stated that it was possible to send the commitment back in the information, but that a whole new status would require a new attribute be negotiated at an industry level Lynn Notarianni/Qwest suggested providing both the call and the electronic message. She asked AT&T if this would be a solution. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she thought so, but that she wanted to talk with her SMEs. Donna asked how many CLECs Qwest had heard from on this issue. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there were 13 CLECs that responded, 6 requested a call only, 3 requested both, 3 requested electronic only, and noted that Qwest still waiting to hear from Eschelon on their final decision. She continued that rather than just changing the commitment time, Qwest would call the CLEC to negotiate the commit time and then send the electronic information. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she agreed with the solution, but that she wanted to talk with her SMEs. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would detail out the process and that a discussion could be held at either next month’s CMP meeting or at an ad hoc meeting. She stated that Qwest would also continue to talk with the service managers and other CLECs because they had not heard from many MEDIACC users.

CMP Monthly Meeting July 17, 2003

SCR030403-01 Communicate scheduled date. (SCR030403-01 Commit time to be communicated on an Event Report through the attribute "Commitment Time") Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest held an Ad-Hoc call, but that not many CLECs attended. She reviewed what was covered during the meeting and discussed the current process. She stated that under today’s process a CLEC would receive a call that the commitment was missed and that negotiation would take place to reschedule. She continued that through this CR, the new commit time would be automatically regenerated in MEDIAC and CEMR. She noted that Johnson/Eschelon had expressed some concern and that she had sent in several questions to Qwest. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there was a possibility that there could be a status added in the status line to note that the commitment time changed. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T asked what subject line Johnson/Eschelon as referring to. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they used CEMR so that this did not make sense to a MEDIAC user. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that Johnson/Eschelon question was in reference to CEMR and stated that there were national standards for MEDIAC. He continued that in CEMR there were not statuses that relate to the change of commit time. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon questioned if this was not possible. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that because of the national standard, this was not possible. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if this CR would then be denied. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T asked Johnson/Eschelon how Eschelon handled this process under today’s process. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that currently Qwest calls Eschelon, so without the phone call, there is no mechanized system available to identify multiple status on a ticket. She continued that regardless there was nothing to flag that that commit time has changed. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T stated that he thought that Qwest would continue to call CLECs (who wanted calls) with this change. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Zimmerman/AT&T was not correct. She said that in order to modify the system if a CLEC called in then it would be communicated on the phone, but if it the CLEC was using the electronic process then the change would be communicated electronically. She stated that it would be very expensive to call or send electronically by CLEC preference. She continued that would require impacts to various backend systems that would need to be worked through Telcordia and so we know that this would be huge. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the CR and noted that they were also requesting that the narrative field be re-written and so that it is possible to track what Qwest changes each time. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T stated that they wanted to track how many times Qwest changes the commit time and what is changed. He continued that currently the previous information is deleted out. He stated that currently the tracking piece is through a narrative field and that CLECs are unable to flag unless the field is coming over in a very specific format to let the CLEC know that things have changed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the CLECs were receiving calls too. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T stated that they did not want the calls and that they wanted everything electronically for tracking purposes. He stated that the way the system is built they could not go into the system to make the change to the commitment time. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that given Qwest’s response to her concerns, her next question is if there could be a note or something in the subject line that noted that the commitment time had changed. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that a process change would need to occur. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it sounded like Eschelon needs to be able to know that the commit time has changed and that Qwest would research a process change. She continued that Qwest needed feedback from all CEMR and MEDIAC users because the CR would effect all users. She suggested that the proposed change be communicated through the Service Management team. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would talk to her internal team and see if they had any other suggestions. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T asked if Qwest had any TCIF statuses that they were not using that could be used for the Commit Time. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would continue to investigate possible options. She stated that MEDIAC was behind CEMR and that Qwest would need to sort through how CEMR would work with this proposed change to the statuses. She said that Qwest may need an additional Ad-Hoc call and that she wanted to make sure that all CLECs were aware of the change. Donna Osborne-Miller/ AT&T agreed and discussed issue of overwriting the history field again. Craig Zimmerman/AT&T stated again that they wanted to eliminate calls and that they wanted to be able to compare between the old time and new time. He stated that AT&T puts the information onto a work list so that their customers can be called.

Ad-Hoc Meeting

Meeting attendees: Lydia Brazes- AT&T, Sharon Van Meter-AT&T, Cathy Auguston-Qwest, Lynn Notarianni-Qwest, Dan Busetti-Qwest, Grant Brown-AT&T, Wayne Hart-Idaho PUC, Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Pete Butner-Qwest, Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Sheila Jones-AT&T, Doranna Landon-Qwest, Beth Foster-Qwest, Craig Zimmerman-AT&T, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Cathy Garcia-Qwest, Stephanie Prull-McLeod, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest.

Discussion: Nolan-started the meeting and stated that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the current network process and how this change request will change the process. Auguston-Qwest walked the team through the current process and stated that Qwest’s current process was to contact the CLEC by phone and negotiate a new commit time. She stated that if the CR was implemented, then CLECs who used the electronic system would only receive electronic message and not phone calls. Busetti-Qwest stated that a change in the attribute ‘commit time’ would mean an email with a status change. Brown-AT&T stated that AT&T already received this through other ILECs and that the change would flag a trouble report. He continued that they needed this information for cable cuts as well. He stated that the CR needed to be applied to any change on the ‘commitment time’ on the Qwest side. Landon-Qwest stated that currently Qwest does not call all customers that are effected by a cable cut. Brown-AT&T stated that when Qwest identifies and knows that there is a problem, Qwest needs to send the new commitment time back to the CLEC. He continued that if there is a cable cut and Qwest has communicated a cut with the TNs effected, then the CLEC will not send any further referrals for those TNs. He stated that they did want the status on the ones already sent in. Notarianni-Qwest stated that she understood that if there was a change in the commitment time then they wanted to know, but did the CLECs want to see the new time in the status too? Brown-AT&T stated that the CR should be applied to any change in commit time. Notarianni-Qwest asked the Qwest SMEs if they agreed with this scope or if other investigation needed to take place. Auguston-Qwest stated that Qwest needed to do further investigation on the process for cable cuts.

Osborne-Miller-AT&T asked if Qwest was stating that the CR was doable. Notarianni-Qwest stated that Qwest needed to look at the scope of the CR and that the purpose of the call was to discuss with the CLEC Community the change to the network processes. Johnson-Eschelon asked how this change would effect CEMR. Notarianni-Qwest stated that the CR would apply to CEMR and MEDIAC. Johnson-Eschelon then asked what would occur if a CLEC called in. Notarianni-Qwest stated that if a CLEC called in then they would receive a call. Prull-McLeod agreed with the process. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she wanted to take the issue back to her team. Notarianni-Qwest stated that Qwest wanted to bring this process change to all the users because it would effect everyone. She stated that the team needed to be clear on what events changed the commit time. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she agreed with AT&T in regards to the fact that if they knew that there was a cable cut then they wouldn’t open any additional tickets. She continued that the CLECs needed to be notified on a ticket-by-ticket basis. Auguston-Qwest stated that Qwest needed to continue its investigation. Nolan-Qwest stated that the CR would also be discussed in the upcoming CMP Monthly Systems Meeting.

Brown-AT&T stated that once the CLEC has entered the information on the cable cut into their system they wouldn’t be allowed to enter any additional trouble tickets. He stated that they wanted to know what the reschedule date/time was for the ones that had already been submitted and were effected by the cable cut. He stated that a cable cut was not a trouble ticket. Prull-McLeod stated that McLeod also continued to track cable cuts internally so that they would not submit additional tickets. Busetti-Qwest stated that he wanted to understand that exact response that the CLEC wanted. Brown-AT&T stated that he thought that the 97 standard should be used. Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concerns. None. She stated that the CR would be discussed in the upcoming CMP Monthly Systems Meeting and that Qwest would continue to review the proposed process.

Meeting adjourned.

Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes June 19, 2003

SCR030403-01 Communicate Scheduled Date for Commit Time to be Communicated on an Event Report Through the Attribute "Commitment Time" (originated by AT&T) Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there is progress. Lynn stated that as we moved into design we found that it is requiring us to go to an outside vendor. Lynn stated that Qwest is in the process of obtaining information from the vendor and that the LOE may need to be modified and then will need to be scheduled. Lynn stated that Network processes would need to be modified. Lynn stated that the CLECs need to be okay with the process change on subsequent commit time on a Qwest caused miss. This process would automatically provide a new commit time and send it electronically. Lynn stated that this process would be implemented for everyone and that it would eliminate the conversation between Qwest and the CLEC. Lynn stated that the process change needs discussion to make sure everyone is ok with this. Lynn noted that this is for MEDIACC and for CEMR. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked what the Network implications were. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that it would eliminate the phone calls for everyone. Dan stated that Qwest would not be able to sort out who want’s a call and who does not. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T requested a call with the CLECs, Qwest and Network to discuss this process change. Donna stated that one of the things AT&T wants housed within the commit time system is a measurement and performance issue. Donna stated that from a quality & expectation perspective, AT&T has some concerns. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would coordinate a conference call and include Network. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that information be provided ahead of time, in order to determine who should be on the call. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked for several date & time options for the conference call. Kit Thomte/Qwest agreed to provide several dates & times. There were no additional questions or comments.

Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting Minutes May 22, 2003

SCR030403-01 AT&T requests change to commit time to be communicated on an Event Report through the attribute “commitment time”. (originated by AT&T) Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this change was specific to MEDIAC and CEMR. She continued that as Qwest was defining the CR they ran into significant complexities that delayed them in getting a commit time for deployment of the change. She said that Qwest’s understanding is that AT&T is looking to not receive calls from Qwest’s centers when Qwest is unable to make commit times. The LOE that was communicated is for the system to pass on the info to the CLEC electronically. She continued that there were issues with getting the data into the system in order to be able to pass on to AT&T. She said that if Qwest is able to work through the issues then they would be able to provide a scheduled date for the change. She said that she wanted to keep the action item open, finish that investigation, and then respond back to AT&T. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked for the information as soon as it was available. She continued that AT&T was anxiously awaiting the change. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would communicate information as soon as it was determined. She said that Qwest also wanted to make sure that other CLECs who have already developed to the MEDIAC interface would realize what this change would mean to tehm and that all MEDIAC CLECs will need to be involved to make sure the change does not negatively impact their interface. She said that unfortunately it was getting more complicated it was developed.

Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting April 22, 2003

SCR030403-01 AT&T Requests Changes To Commit Time To Be Communicated On An Event Report Through The Attribute "Commitment Time" (Originated By AT&T) Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the description of the CR. She stated that AT&T had participated on the clarification call and that she had also walked-on the CR during the last CMP Meeting. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the LOE of 1500-2500 was reflected in the CR and that the change would also require a change to CEMR, and not just MEDIACC. She stated that Qwest was currently looking at scheduling. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked about the schedule for MEDIACC changes. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that MEDIAC is not bound to a set number of releases a year, releases are scheduled as the work arises. She indicated that Qwest was currently looking at scheduling. Dan Busetti/Qwest said that the two AT&T CRs were the only CRs open for MEDIAC which were currently being looked at for scheduling. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if Qwest had any indication as to when the CRs would be implemented. Dan Busetti/Qwest said that the CR (SCR030403-01) needed to wait until several of the CEMR changes were complete. He stated that the change in CEMR was incidental and that the change showed up in CEMR because of the commitment date and time. He also stated that the change would go through on the CEMR email. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if that change was not tied to a CEMR release. Dan Busetti/Qwest said that the statement was true. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked what AT&T’s timeframe was. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that they would like to have the change implemented in June. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that Qwest would take an action item to review scheduling and try to provide a date in the May CMP Monthly Meeting

Clarification Call SCR030403-01 March 14, 2003

Introduction of Attendees: Sheila Jones-AT&T, Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Dan Busetti-Qwest, Carolyn Fernandez-AT&T, Craig Zimmerman-AT&T, Cathy Garcia-Qwest, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-Qwest

Review of Request: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR Title and Description of Change. "AT&T requests changes to commit time to be communicated on an Event Report through the attribute "commitment time" "Qwest's OSS limitation prevents Qwest from modifying and updating due dates on missed commits. Qwest today,communicates changes to commitment time via a narrative field (add'l. status info.) Receipt of information in a narrative field prohibits any tracking of missed commits and "new" commit performance. This narrative field is "overwritten"as new narratives are received, therefore it is not keeping a historical record of status messages sent. How are new commitments tracked, monitored and met? Does Qwest's OSS keep the entire history of status messages sent, or only the last status message sent in this field? Does Qwest use a specific and consistent text string to communicate missed commitments and new commitment dates that AT&T can use to indentiry these transactions in their system?" She then reviewed AT&T stated Expected Deliverable of "Utilize the attribute "commitment time" and for this information to be communicated on an Event Report."

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any changes or additions to the CR. Jones-AT&T stated that this change will drive calls into the center and impact resourses. Busetti-Qwest asked about the product impacts. He asked if the product should be UNE-P POTS. Zimmerman-AT&T stated that it would be UNE-P POTS. He stated that it would also be line-splitting. Garcia-Qwest asked about Non-Designed. Osborne-Miller-AT&T stated that shared loop would also be added. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would update the products impacted to be UNE-P POTS and Shared Loop.

Nolan-Qwest reviewed the interfaces impacted as MEDIACC. AT&T agreed.

Meeting adjourned.

1/14/04 Escalation Response SCR030403-01-E21 January 23, 2004

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

Dear Ms. Osborne-Miller:

This letter is in response to your January 16, 2004 escalation # SCR030403-01-E21. In this escalation ATT is requesting two CMP Systems CRs; SCR030403-01 Commit time to be communicated on an Event Report through the attribute "Commitment Time" and SCR042303-01X AT&T Vendor Meet(coordinated dispatch), be implemented by the end of February of 2004.

Qwest is still evaluating these CRs to determine potential implementation timeframes. Specifically, with regards to SCR042303-01X requesting Vendor Meets, Qwest is addressing fairly significant back-end system changes associated with this CR to determine the most efficient ways to get the changes implemented, and is exploring other options that may fulfill the intent of this CR. Additionally, with regards to SCR030403-01 Commit time, this CR does require Qwest working with a contracted vendor and coordinating that development work with additional back-end system requirements.

Given these activities, Qwest cannot commit to an implementation date of the end of February 2004 for these CRs. Qwest will communicate the implementation dates as soon as they are finalized. Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at Lynn.Notarianni@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Director - Information Technologies Qwest

April 10, 2003 RE: SCR030403-01

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of AT&T's Change Request SCR030403-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meetings (held March 14, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an LOE for this change of 1500-2500 hours.

At the April Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Comcast requests that Qwest not schedule any IMA system downtime for the last three (3) days of the month. The end of the month is generally a very busy time for Comcast as it has quotas to meet. Since May 2002, Qwest has scheduled maintenance time at the end of the month in November 2002 and January 2003.

Expected deliverable: Qwest not schedule maintenance downtime beginning in March 2003.

June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was put in Deferred Status about a year ago for a trial period. Connie stated that there were process improvements put into place to protect the last three days of the month. Connie stated that sometimes that cannot be done due to things such as a planned outage. Connie stated that this CR was changed from Deferred to CLEC Test to see what the CLECs thoughts are. Connie noted that the Process would remain in place. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T does not have any issues with this and is agreeable to closing the CR. This CR moves into Completed Status.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the action item would be closed.

Discussion at CMP Monthly Meeting June 19, 2003

SCR022703-01 Review Possible Downtime on Sunday's and Overall Process Questions (SCR022703-01 No IMA Downtime for Last 3 Days of the Month) (originated by AT&T) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is a trial period to not utilize the last 3-days of the month. Connie stated that the Qwest legacy systems sometimes need Sunday’s in order to perform maintenance functions. Connie noted that it is very important and that it is something that the systems need. Connie stated that Qwest would continue the notification process for when Sundays are needed to do the work in the legacy systems. Connie stated that Qwest wanted to discuss this with the CLECs even though, based on the volumes, Sunday’s should not be a big impact to you. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would like to take this back to the AT&T IT team and to Comcast. Donna stated that it probably was not an issue. Bill Littler/Integra stated that Integra has no issue with it. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that there is no issue with McLeod. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that in regard to notifications, the sooner the CLECs are notified, the better for the CLECs.

Clarification Meeting: March 10, 2003 10:00 am

Attendance: Sharon Van Meter-AT&T, Tom Kowal-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM-Qwest

Review the Request Nolan-Qwest reviewed the request and asked if there were any questions or changes to the CR. Kowal-Qwest stated that disputed the statement that Qwest had scheduled IMA downtime during November 2002 and January 2003. Van Meter-AT&T stated that she had received the Scheduled Maintance notifications stating that IMA was having scheduled downtime at the end of the month and that AT&T was requesting that Qwest not have it the last three days of the month. Kowal-Qwest stated that there have not been any downtimes schedules for the end of the month. He stated that it might have been downstream systems. Van Meter-AT&T stated that if Qwest hadn't done any of these then the request would be easy to comply with. She stated that the request nor the notification says downstream systems. Kowal-Qwest stated that other CLECs might not want scheduled maintance during the middle of the month or at the beginning of the month.

Confirm interfaces and products impacted Nolan-Qwest confirmed that this change request effected IMA-EDI and IMA-GUI and that no products were impacted.

Identify CLEC expectations and Action Plan Nolan-Qwest stated that this CR would be presented at the next monthly meeting by Van Meter (AT&T) on March 20th and that Qwest would provide a response as required. Van Meter-AT&T stated that she could forward the notifications to Nolan-Qwest that she had referenced. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would forward them off to Kowal (Qwest) and Gallegos (Qwest) when she received them. She asked Van Meter (AT&T) if there were any questions if the team could communicate over email. Van Meter-AT&T agreed.

Meeting adjourned.

COMMUNICATOR ISSUED: Announcement Date: November 26, 2003 Effective Date: Immediately Document Number: SYST.11.26.03.F.01112.CandidateRegistration Notification Category: Systems Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: Correction to SYST.11.25.03.F.01108.CandidateRegistrationReminder - CLEC Profiles Associated CR Number or Systems Release Number: N/A Qwest is publishing this correction to systems notification SYST.11.25.03.F.01108. Correction appears in red text below.

Qwest reminds all CLECs of the requirement to update their user profile by COB Friday, December 5th 2003 with the Wholesale Systems Help Desk prior to the December 8th deployment of IMA 14.0 Release for certain candidates. CLECs may do so by contacting the Wholesale Systems Help Desk at 1-888-796-9102.

For all IMA GUI CLECs, the updated profile will become effective with the release of IMA 14.0; IMA EDI CLECs will have their updated profile become effective with their corresponding migration to IMA EDI Release 14.0, or later EDI releases if the CLEC does not migrate to IMA EDI 14.0.

Candidates affected are: - Support IMA EDI Status Updates via IMA GUI - Offer Choice for Receiving Non-Fatal Errors - Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL Responses - Line Loss Notification

CLECs may begin contacting the Wholesale Systems Help Desk effective Tuesday, November 25th.

Questions may be directed to itcomm@qwest.com.

Sincerely, Qwest

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: This candidate will provide loss data in an 836 EDI format using the Provider Notification (PN) form and a push to GUI users via FAX or Email. IMA users will have the ability to view and query loss data in the IMA GUI. The CLEC must subscribe for this service through the Help Desk.

New functionality added:

Direct Inward Dialing (DID) will now display on Loss and Completion reports. New 836 Provider Notification (PN) form

Transactions coming from IMA will be at the Working Telephone Number (WTN) level mirroring current Loss Reports.

Forms impacted: Provider Notification (PN)

Fields impacted: PON will display as PONW and ORD will display as ORDW on the PN form per OBF guidelines. CVD translates to the completion date per OBF standards.

ACTs: N/A

Connie Winston - Qwest stated that this is for both EDI and GUI and that this is a design change so that the Loss & Completion Reports would be pulled from the same data that is sent to the CLECs. Connie stated that it would not be a different flow.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest said that Line Loss through IMA has been a unique experience because the notification if generated but to a CLEC that is not to originator of the LSR. The PON field with a ‘W’ character will be the PON for the loss. John Berard/Covad asked if the PON number would be the same from the new LSR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that only the field name changes and the PON value will remain the same. John Berard/Covad asked if are going to send a loss notification to a new CLEC with a different PON Liz Balvin/MCI asked what field would be populated. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that (PON-W) is a new field that is going to be implemented and you will have the ability on your side to read that field. John Berard/Covad reiterated that this field name will contain a W and that is how it will be recognized

3/20/03 CMP systems Meeting Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the change request. Liz Balvin /WorldCom asked why the WorldCom CR was rejected. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest stated that the difference was a real-time EDI individual transaction vs. a report coming back from EDI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when we looked at your request, we thought you wanted all of Loss & Completions coming back through EDI. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she was frustrated because when she came to CMP she just wanted the Loss report and was told it had to be both (Loss & Completions). Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is still a report. This is a transactional change and not a report. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that it might be helpful for WorldCom to go back and verify with their teams. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that the confusion may have been the way the CR was worded. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it is still frustrating and feels that there was a lack of communication in what was put in her CR and questioned why Qwest did not provide options. Peggy Esquibel/Reed/Qwest stated that she sent an e-mail asking WorldCom if this CR met their needs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she did receive the e-mail and wanted to discuss with AT&T but had not done so. John Gallegos/Qwest reviewed the title of the WorldCom CR and noted that it was for Loss & Completion. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that we do not want to spend a lot of time trying to look at how to do the same thing in a different format or way. Any gaps in communication on the clarification call should have been identified by the WorldCom and their technical team. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that in the clarification call the request was identified as Loss and Completions but one of the WorldCom SMEs referred to the report. Connie Winston/Qwest recommended that in the future we need to make sure we have the correct subject matter experts on the clarification call. When it clearly states ‘report’, that’s the direction we would take. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked how everyone felt about opening up the invitation to anyone interested in joining the clarification call. Connie Winston/Qwest said that when we get the whole community together some people may have different ideas or have additional questions. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it’s hard enough to get the initiator together so perhaps we could have the meeting set up with only the initiator and they could invite the entire group. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that she will take an action item and talk to Judy Schultz/Qwest. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T said that AT&T would be happy to create the CR to get the language in the CMP document changed. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this issue warrants readdressing especially when a vote is at stake. Kit Thomte/Qwest said she understood and will take the action item and address in the April CMP Product/Process meeting.

Description Of Change

Currently a CLEC can subscribe to WCN/BCN as well as receive a SOC. The understanding is that Qwest supports multiple WCNs and then multiple BCNs, a function of the many workd order that Qwest can open as a result of one CLEC service order. This request is to have the Qwest OSS system support one WCN and one BCN. The BCN will be sent no later than 3 days after the CLEC Service Order has been provisioned

Project Meetings

3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented this CR and asked for more information regarding the denial. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest noted that this is a substantial architectural change to our billing system and would be a very large effort. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that currently we get confirmation of the Qwest internal order number and asked if there was a way not to subscribe to the auto push and receive just a single BCN. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon asked that question and the response was no. You have to get them all or none at all. Candy Skaff/Eschelon said that the final response was for the GUI and we could retrieve the status update out of the GUI and for EDI the information would be via an EDI file. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that the asked the same question and from an EDI perspective we felt that we could build to one of the status indicators from the auto push for the status updates. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if it is possible to build in EDI to the BCN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that they do not want the auto push, we just want the final BCN. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that she hears two questions 1 – You want to which statuses to receive and, 2—You want one BCN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that you are going to status update to get BCN and you have to look at all status updates. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we would be happy to have an options meeting to discuss these issues but there’s just no way to do this in time for the vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if they could opt to build their interface to receive only status updates numbers 1 or 3 or 5 in EDI instead of all of the status updates. Connie Winston/Qwest said that’s what we’d have to talk to development about. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked for clarification on how they could revise this CR to meet the vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she thought they could do a late adder. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that she did not think we could respond with the LOE within the necessary timeframe and believe we are designing on the fly. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if another clarification call was necessary. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the 3-day timeframe is a critical issue and is driving up the cost. That is one of the reasons for the denial. If we can get agreement to change the 3-day timeframe to the 5-day timeframe, we may be able to re-look at this. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Phyllis Burt/AT&T is they could take out the 3-day timeframe and Phyllis agreed if they could still get it into the vote. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she we will have to redesign and LOE in time for the vote. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if there was anything that could be negotiated. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we could have an options meeting but it could not be done before the 14.0 vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked about the option of having the BCN that exists today but building to one status. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that would be an architectural change and once again don’t know what the effort would require. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said she thought AT&T might be willing to remove the sentence to remove the requirement of 3 days but also heard a request to be able to pick and choose what status updates you want. And I don’t’ think that’s part of what was LOEd. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she would like to open an action item to see why the CLECs can’t have the option of having something less than the full 6 status options. Wendy Green/Qwest said that we currently don’t have the system programmed to allow the CLECs to choose which statuses they wanted to receive, so it would be a change to the system. She also stated that WorldCom would need to open a CR. Sue Stott/Qwest said if you look at the EDI side, your development team will also have to code to filter and build a filter to select the ones you care about. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said thank you. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that AT&T does not want to give up on this and we understand the denial. We would like to re-write this and have it potentially be a late adder. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated AT&T’s desire is a single BCN, if they can use the autopush. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if it’s a late adder could she add what WorldCom is looking for. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest doesn’t make those decisions, if it’s able to be ranked and voted in 14. What we can do is look at a new definition, and then AT&T can try to do it as a late adder. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if they removed the sentence requesting the 3 days. John Gallegos/Qwest said no I said that was one of the gaps that was causing such a high LOE. Lynn Stecklein sent a request to AT&T asking if the last sentence of the description of change could be removed and got a negative response. Connie Winston/Qwest summarized that AT&T would like 1 BCN, no 3-day timeframe and no WCN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that if it’s the 3 days that’s causing the deny, then AT&T will remove. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we just want to be really clear that we would only be looking at LOEing a single BCN and she also stated that the time is short and also don’t know if it will be econmically feasible until we check with the Development Team. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this would be harder to do as a late adder then to have Qwest try to go back and re-LOE it and try to get it in the vote. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we can certainly try, but can almost guarantee that this can’t be done in time for 14.0 prioritization. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she didn’t think Phyllis had changed her mind on what she wants other than the 3-day requirement. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she wanted to clarify that we did try to make that suggestion before hand, but now the time is so short. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that there didn’t need to be an additional clarification meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon other than what Phyllis is looking at which is having a BCN at the LSR level, we don’t want to add anything to the scope of that. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we will do what we can. Sue Stott/Qwest said that this is a huge change, and the ballot goes out Tuesday and I really don’t want to set any false expectations. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that obviously it has a lot of CLEC support and so although late adder requires a unanimous vote it doesn’t seem there’ll be a problem. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T could have the CR updated by tomorrow. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that she would have it updated tomorrow. She also asked to keep in mind that the request is for a single BCN and if they can generate a separate BCN that’s fine too. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the status would be changed to evaluation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CR will remain in denied status until the new CR information is reviewed.

REVISED RESPONSE March 14, 2003

CC: Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR022703-13, dated 02/27/03, titled: Single WCN and Single BCN.

CLEC CR Description: Currently a CLEC can subscribe to WCN/BCN as well as receive a SOC. The understanding is that Qwest supports multiple WCNs and then multiple BCNs, a function of the many work orders that Qwest can open as a result of one CLEC service order. This request is to have the Qwest OSS system support one WCN and one BCN. The BCN will be sent no later than 3 days after the CLEC Service Order has been provisioned.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Wednesday March 12, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR022703-13, Single WCN and Single BCN, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. This change would require a restructure of the billing systems to deliver simultaneous transactions with the service order processor (SOPs). This request would require Qwest to develop a new process impacting several layers of Qwest management and impact currently monitored standards for billing completions notification. Qwest’s analysis determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be well above $5 million.

Considering that the information is currently available to CLECs and sent no later than 5 days after the CLEC Service Order has been provisioned, Qwest is denying your request for SCR022703-13, Single WCN and Single BCN, based on economic infeasibility.

Sincerely,

Lynn Notarianni Information Technologies Senior Director Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE March 13, 2003 RE: SCR022703-13

-- September 10, 2003 Email Sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi Carla -- This email is in regard to 2 of your CMP CR's: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Process Bill Data and CSRs on the same day SCR012103-02 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills These 2 CR's were deployed on July 21, 2003. Would you please let me know if they are ready for closure, at the September Systems CMP Meeting or if there are issues that will prevent closure. If there are issues, please advise me of what they are so that we can research prior to the meeting. We will then be able to provide you with a status of the research, if any is needed. I appreciate any information that you can provide in advance of the CMP Meeting. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

February 25, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi Carla -- I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss the splitting of your CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates. Will any of the dates & times noted below work for you? Please let me know which ones will work and I will get the meeting scheduled.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

- July 29, 2005 Communicator Excerpt: Announcement Date: July 29, 2005 Effective Date: Immediately Notification Number: SYST.07.29.05.F.03144.CRISOctRel73DrftRelAnncmt Notification Category: Systems Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CMP - Systems, October 10, 2005 CRIS Release: Draft Release Announcement Associated CR Numbers: CLEC CR #: SCR042902-01, CLEC CR #: SCR012103-03ES, CLEC CR #: SCR012103-05ES In conjunction with the CRIS system release targeted for implementation on October 10, 2005, Qwest is enhancing the application as outlined below.

Summary of Changes: 2. SCR012103-03ES Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges: In order to comply with the CABS/BOS standard to provide the activity date on the customer service record (CSR), CRIS will provide it for all left-handed FIDS (e.g., CLF, CLS, CKL, etc.) and USOCs in the service and feature section of the CSR.

The activity date is defined as the latest date that activity occurred impacting a specific service or feature.

The activity date will be provided in addition to the service established date (they may or may not be the same date). In addition to the date itself, CRIS will identify what kind of activity the date is associated with (e.g., service order, rate change, zone change, etc.) if activity posted to the account since the last billing cycle.

Qwest will be using the standard CABS BOS values for the Activity Indicator. CRIS will provide the activity date with an activity indicator associated to it and pass the data.

In turn, FIR and Billmate will keep the data associated (FID-activity date/type, USOC-activity date/type) and make it available in an identifiable manner to IABS. IABS will populate the date and appropriate value for the activity indicator on the BOS CSR records. Additionally, IABS will put BOS edit CER151000.01 in place (related to the activity date).

Note: There are no technical Specifications associated with any of the above SCRs.

Comments on the above changes need to be submitted to Qwest via the following link: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/comment.html. Fill in all required fields and be sure to reference the Notification Number listed above.

-- July 20, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that the targeted implementation for this CR is October 10, 2005.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is that it is being reviewed at the Qwest CEO level.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is December 2004. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she received the notification and noted that AT&T continues to not be happy with Qwest’s dates. There were no additional questions or comments. This Action Item is Closed.

July 9, 2003 Email to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- This email is to provide you with targeted implementation dates for three of your submitted CMP CR's. They are as follows: SCR012103-03ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Targeted implementation date is December 2004. SCR012103-05ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Targeted implementation date is December 2004 SCR012103-06ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. Targeted implementation date of September 2004. These CR's will be in the July System's CMP Meeting Distribution Package, in Attachment I, Action Items amd Associated CRs. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that these three CR’s are a subset of the BOS billing CR’s. Lynn stated that these would remain open as they are still currently in the scheduling process. Lynn stated that in response to the escalation that an August implementation is not technically feasible. Lynn further stated that for those that requested an LOE audit, that information is provided as part of the escalation response. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is extremely disappointed in the response and stated that AT&T will bring this to another forum. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there are pieces that are consolidating into one billing format across the billing regions. Lynn noted that some of the billing work is being scheduled subsequent to this rearchitecture and stated that there are interdependencies. Lynn stated that Qwest does understand that you are wanting to get this work in, but we believe that, long term, this effort will be extremely beneficial as far as being able to get billing CRs worked more quickly. Bill Littler/Integra asked if this meant that Qwest is merging the three billing systems. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she is referring to certain components of CRIS, the format. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that it is hard to believe that it really has that significant of an architecture change to separate out taxes and some of these other CRs that have such large LOEs. There were no additional questions or comments.

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this effort has not yet been scheduled.

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if there were targeted implementation dates for the CABS/BOS IABS Update CR’s. Carla stated that these are very important to AT&T. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that they do not yet have targeted dates and noted that they will be provided as soon as they are determined.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the LOE is 6000-7000 hours and is pending scheduling.

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

February 25, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi Carla -- I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss the splitting of your CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates. Will any of the dates & times noted below work for you? Please let me know which ones will work and I will get the meeting scheduled.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

CenturyLink Response

Final Response SCR012103-03-E12 June 12, 2003

Carla Dickinson Pardee AT&T

Dear Ms. Dickinson Pardee:

This letter is in response to your June 5, 2003 (E12) escalation regarding the AT&T position that the CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges CMP CR SCR012103-03 should be implemented by August 2003 .

Qwest has determined that the following system changes will need to occur in order to implement the requested change:

- All CSR media must be changed across all three CRIS regions. - New fields will need to be established in the three CRIS systems to identify the activity date and type for each USOC on the CSR. - Online inquiry systems will need to be modified to accommodate the activity date and the new activity type field. - BILLMATE will need to be modified to accommodate the new activity date and the new activity type field on files sent to BOS processes. - BOS process will need to be modified to accommodate the new activity date and the new activity type field. - CRIS Bill and CSR must be pulled in concert with each other. This includes modifications to ensure the bill and CSR continue to be synchronized. - CRIS Service Order input processes will need to be modified to accommodate the new activity date and the new activity type field. - ASCII CSR processes will need to be modified to accommodate the new activity date and the new activity type field.

Additionally, as discussed in the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on May 22, 2003, Qwest is currently performing a re-architecture of the overall billing platform which is being delivered in phases. This CABS/BOS work is contingent upon this re-architecture effort. If this CR were to be worked prior to the completion of this effort then the LOE would increase. Qwest is currently in the scheduling process on this candidate and will indicate the target implementation date when it is determined.

In light of all the systems impacts identified above, Qwest maintains its position that the LOE is appropriate for this CR. Considering the re-architecture effort currently underway, and the various back end systems impacts, Qwest’s position is that the requested implementation date of August 2003 is not technically feasible.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Senior Director Information Technologies Qwest

Revised Draft Response March 13, 2003

RE: SCR012103-03 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR012103-03. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 6000 to 7000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR012103-03.

Sincerely, Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003 RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request. Sincerely, Qwest

This email is to follow-up on the discussion that took place at the November Monthly CMP Meeting. I believe you were going to check if the above 4 noted CMP CRs are ok to close, offline. Have you had the opportunity to research them and are you ready for them to close? If you are, let me know and I will close them out. If you are not yet ready to close them let me know that as well. I am not aware of any problems associated to the October 18th implementation of these CRs.

Thanks Sharon for your attention to these CRs. I look forward to hearing from you.

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

Final Response

SCR012103-04-E13 June 12, 2003

Carla Dickinson Pardee AT&T

Dear Ms. Dickinson Pardee:

This letter is in response to your June 5, 2003 (E13) escalation regarding the AT&T position that the target implementation date for CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T CMP CR SCR012103-04 should be moved up to August 2003 and requesting an audit of the LOE assigned.

As discussed in the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on May 22, 2003, Qwest is currently performing a re-architecture of the overall billing platform which is being delivered in phases. This CABS/BOS work is contingent upon this re-architecture effort. If this CR were to be worked prior to the completion of this effort then the LOE would increase.

Qwest has reviewed this escalation and has determined that the initial high level LOE provided was valid based on the high level requirements developed upon initial review of the change request. Considering the re-architecture effort currently underway, and the various back end systems impacts, Qwest’s position is that the requested implementation date of August 2003 is not technically feasible. At this point, Qwest is targeting the implementation of this CR for June of 2004.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Senior Director Information Technologies Qwest

Revised Draft Response March 13, 2003

RE: SCR012103-04 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR012103-04. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 10500 to 11500 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR012103-04.

Sincerely, Qwest

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003 RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request. Sincerely, Qwest

- July 29, 2005 Communicator Excerpt: Announcement Date: July 29, 2005 Effective Date: Immediately Notification Number: SYST.07.29.05.F.03144.CRISOctRel73DrftRelAnncmt Notification Category: Systems Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CMP - Systems, October 10, 2005 CRIS Release: Draft Release Announcement Associated CR Numbers: CLEC CR #: SCR042902-01, CLEC CR #: SCR012103-03ES, CLEC CR #: SCR012103-05ES In conjunction with the CRIS system release targeted for implementation on October 10, 2005, Qwest is enhancing the application as outlined below.

Summary of Changes: 3. SCR012103-05ES Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established: The service established date enables the customer to audit monthly charges accurately. In order for IABS to provide the correct service established date for FIDs and USOCs in the service and features section of a customer's service record (CSR), all CRIS regions will pass it - associated with each FID and USOC - in the information they send.

In turn, the intermediary systems, such as FIR and billmate, will keep the data associated (FID-service established date/USOC-service established date) and pass it.

The service established date information should be readily identifiable (i.e., unique field) so that IABS will be able to populate the appropriate BOS BDT CSR records (40-15-05, 10).

Note: There are no technical Specifications associated with any of the above SCRs.

Comments on the above changes need to be submitted to Qwest via the following link: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/comment.html. Fill in all required fields and be sure to reference the Notification Number listed above.

July 20, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that the targeted implementation for this CR is October 10, 2005. Jill also noted that with these two LOEs that Qwest now has targeted implementation dates for all of the Billing and Repair CRs that were in backlog.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is that it is being reviewed at the Qwest CEO level.

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is December 2004. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she received the notification and noted that AT&T continues to not be happy with Qwest’s dates. There were no additional questions or comments. This Action Item is Closed.

-- July 9, 2003 Email to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- This email is to provide you with targeted implementation dates for three of your submitted CMP CR's. They are as follows: SCR012103-03ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Targeted implementation date is December 2004. SCR012103-05ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Targeted implementation date is December 2004 SCR012103-06ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. Targeted implementation date of September 2004. These CR's will be in the July System's CMP Meeting Distribution Package, in Attachment I, Action Items amd Associated CRs. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that these three CR’s are a subset of the BOS billing CR’s. Lynn stated that these would remain open as they are still currently in the scheduling process. Lynn stated that in response to the escalation that an August implementation is not technically feasible. Lynn further stated that for those that requested an LOE audit, that information is provided as part of the escalation response. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is extremely disappointed in the response and stated that AT&T will bring this to another forum. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there are pieces that are consolidating into one billing format across the billing regions. Lynn noted that some of the billing work is being scheduled subsequent to this rearchitecture and stated that there are interdependencies. Lynn stated that Qwest does understand that you are wanting to get this work in, but we believe that, long term, this effort will be extremely beneficial as far as being able to get billing CRs worked more quickly. Bill Littler/Integra asked if this meant that Qwest is merging the three billing systems. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she is referring to certain components of CRIS, the format. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that it is hard to believe that it really has that significant of an architecture change to separate out taxes and some of these other CRs that have such large LOEs. There were no additional questions or comments.

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this effort has not yet been scheduled

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if there were targeted implementation dates for the CABS/BOS IABS Update CR’s. Carla stated that these are very important to AT&T. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that they do not yet have targeted dates and noted that they will be provided as soon as they are determined.

-- March 20 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated the LOE of 8500-9500 hours and is pending scheduling.

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

CenturyLink Response

Final Response SCR012103-05-E14 June 12, 2003

Carla Dickinson Pardee AT&T

Dear Ms. Dickinson Pardee:

This letter is in response to your June 5, 2003 (E14) escalation regarding the AT&T position that the target implementation date for “CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate service established dates with the date on which serviced was established” CMP CR SCR012103-05 should be moved up to August 2003 and requesting an audit of the LOE assigned.

Qwest has reviewed this escalation and has determined that the initial high level LOE provided was valid based on the high level requirements developed upon initial review of the change request. Qwest has determined that the following system changes will need to occur in order to implement the requested change:

- All CSR media must be changed across all three CRIS regions. - New fields will need to be established in the three CRIS systems to identify the establish date and type for each USOC on the CSR. - Online inquiry systems will need to be modified to accommodate the establish date and the new field. - BILLMATE will need to be modified to accommodate the new establish date and the new field on files sent to BOS processes. - BOS process will need to be modified to accommodate the new establish date and the new field. - CRIS Bill and CSR must be pulled in concert with each other. This includes modifications to ensure the bill and CSR continue to be synchronized. - CRIS Service Order input processes will need to be modified to accommodate the new establish date and the new field. - ASCII CSR processes will need to be modified to accommodate the new establish date and the new field.

Additionally, as discussed in the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on May 22, 2003, Qwest is currently performing a re-architecture of the overall billing platform which is being delivered in phases. This CABS/BOS work is contingent upon this re-architecture effort. If this CR were to be worked prior to the completion of this effort then the LOE would increase. Qwest is currently in the scheduling process on this candidate and will indicate the target implementation date when it is determined.

In light of all the systems impacts identified above, Qwest maintains its position that the LOE is appropriate for this CR. Considering the re-architecture effort currently underway, and the various back end systems impacts, Qwest’s position is that the requested implementation date of August 2003 is not technically feasible.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Senior Director Information Technologies Qwest

Revised Draft Response March 13, 2003

RE: SCR012103-05 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR012103-05. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 8500 to 9500 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR012103-05.

Sincerely, Qwest

-- March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003 RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request. Sincerely, Qwest

December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that AT&T is okay to close this CR. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T agreed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

November 29, 2004 Email Sent to AT&T: Hi Sharon,

1) SCR012103-04ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T 2) SCR012103-06ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 3) SCR012103-07ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments 4) SCR012103-08ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges.

This email is to follow-up on the discussion that took place at the November Monthly CMP Meeting. I believe you were going to check if the above 4 noted CMP CRs are ok to close, offline. Have you had the opportunity to research them and are you ready for them to close? If you are, let me know and I will close them out. If you are not yet ready to close them let me know that as well. I am not aware of any problems associated to the October 18th implementation of these CRs.

Thanks Sharon for your attention to these CRs. I look forward to hearing from you.

October CRIS Release-Draft Technical Specifications Associated CRs #: CLEC SCR012103-06ES, CLEC SCR012103-07ES, CLEC SCR012103-08ES , CLEC SCR012103-04ES, Qwest SCR110802-02IG

On August 6, 2004, Qwest will post planned updates to its Draft Technical Specifications for the CRIS system release targeted for implementation on October 18, 2004. These will be posted to the Qwest Wholesale Document Review site at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/review.html.

Summary of Change: Qwest will implement software changes related to five separate CMP CRs, with a summary of the changes listed below:

CMP SCR012103-06ES Qwest has been combining both taxes and surcharges on the BOS/BDT file for UNE accounts. Qwest will be making changes to separate the two so the BOS/BDT file will contain separate tax and surcharge records and separate totals will be provided.

CMP SCR012103-04ES, SCR012103-07ES, SCR012103-08ES & SCR110802-02IG For the UNE Pots and UNE Loop products, adjustment from and thru date information will be provided. This data will be provided on the Detail of Adjustments Record (10-20-05-01) in the "Adjustment From Date" and the "Adjustment Thru Date" fields. The audit number will be populated in the 10-20-05-00 record, when provided by the customer and the recurring/non-recurring indicator will be populated on the 10-20-05-01 record.

-- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is October 14, 2004. There were no comments or questions. This Action Item is closed.

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is that it is being reviewed at the Qwest CEO level.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the CABS Bill can be the Bill of Record and stated that it is documented in the PCAT. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that the CABS Bill can be the Bill of Record, but that Billmate cannot. Kerri Waldner/Qwest stated that the PCAT states that the CLEC can request something other than paper to be their Bill of Record. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the PCAT contains detailed information and noted that the URL for the specific PCAT is noted in the CR. There were no additional questions or comments. This Action Item is Closed.

- October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the revised Level of Effort is 600 to 1200 hours due to the removal of the paper bill output. Connie noted that Qwest had assumed that paper be included even if it was not requested in the CR. Connie stated that the revised deployment date for this CR is now May 10, 2004. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the paper bill is the bill of record so they do need this done for paper unless the CABS bill can be the bill of record. Carla asked that if it is only 600 hours, why the May implementation date. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this effort would touch the application that is at full capacity and noted that Lynn (Notarianni) had previously discussed this. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR would be out 19 months before it is implemented and is completely unreasonable. Carla stated that it took 10-months to get an explanation of why this was changed. Carla stated that going forward; she may start asking for a line-by-line explanation of the Levels of Effort. Connie Winston/Qwest asked that if Qwest would have said paper bill, AT&T may have addressed this then. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated yes and that she does not understand the 17000 hours. Carla stated that it is unacceptable but does not know what can be done. There were no other questions or comments.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is September 2004. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she received the notification and noted that AT&T continues to not be happy with Qwest’s dates. There were no additional questions or comments. This Action Item is Closed.

July 9, 2003 Email to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- This email is to provide you with targeted implementation dates for three of your submitted CMP CR's. They are as follows: SCR012103-03ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Targeted implementation date is December 2004. SCR012103-05ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Targeted implementation date is December 2004 SCR012103-06ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. Targeted implementation date of September 2004. These CR's will be in the July System's CMP Meeting Distribution Package, in Attachment I, Action Items amd Associated CRs. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that these three CR’s are a subset of the BOS billing CR’s. Lynn stated that these would remain open as they are still currently in the scheduling process. Lynn stated that in response to the escalation that an August implementation is not technically feasible. Lynn further stated that for those that requested an LOE audit, that information is provided as part of the escalation response. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is extremely disappointed in the response and stated that AT&T will bring this to another forum. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there are pieces that are consolidating into one billing format across the billing regions. Lynn noted that some of the billing work is being scheduled subsequent to this rearchitecture and stated that there are interdependencies. Lynn stated that Qwest does understand that you are wanting to get this work in, but we believe that, long term, this effort will be extremely beneficial as far as being able to get billing CRs worked more quickly. Bill Littler/Integra asked if this meant that Qwest is merging the three billing systems. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she is referring to certain components of CRIS, the format. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that it is hard to believe that it really has that significant of an architecture change to separate out taxes and some of these other CRs that have such large LOEs. There were no additional questions or comments.

- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this effort has not yet been scheduled.

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this request is 16,000 to 17,000 hours and is pending scheduling. Lynn stated that this action item would remain open until we provide the targeted implementation date.

-- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR is looking to be very large and is still being evaluated.

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

February 25, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Hi Carla -- I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss the splitting of your CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

Final Response

SCR012103-06-E15 June 12, 2003

Carla Dickinson Pardee AT&T

Dear Ms. Dickinson Pardee:

This letter is in response to your June 5, 2003 (E15) escalation regarding the AT&T position that the target implementation date for CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines CMP CR SCR012103-06 should be moved up to August 2003 and requesting an audit of the LOE assigned.

Qwest has reviewed this escalation and has determined that the initial high level LOE provided was valid based on the high level requirements developed upon initial review of the change request. Qwest has determined that the following system changes will need to occur in order to implement the requested change:

- All Bill Invoice media must be changed across all three CRIS regions. - Central CRIS paper invoice must be redesigned to include new lines for Tax and Surcharge sub-totals. - Eastern and Western CRIS will require a re-design of the paper invoice. The re-design will require the creation of two new bill sections, one for surcharges and one for taxes. - All three CRIS regions will need to establish appropriate, new taxability codes for all tax and surcharge types. This will require extensive analysis to identify and classify tax and surcharge types and assign appropriate bill phrases for each. - Invoice staging system will need to accommodate the new tax/surcharge details and sub-totals. - Online query systems will need to accommodate the new tax/surcharge details and sub-totals. Adjustment processing in Western region will need to be modified to accommodate the new tax/surcharge details. - Bill format systems will need to accommodate the new tax/surcharge details and sub-totals. There will be two separate sections in place of the Current Taxes Fees and Surcharges section - BILLMATE will need to accommodate the new tax/surcharge details and sub-totals. - BOS will need to accommodate the new tax/surcharge details and sub-totals. - EDI will require modification to support the new tax/surcharge details and sub-totals. - These changes will impact residential, small business and large business bill invoice formats.

Additionally, as discussed in the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on May 22, 2003, Qwest is currently performing a re-architecture of the overall billing platform which is being delivered in phases. This CABS/BOS work is contingent upon this re-architecture effort. If this CR were to be worked prior to the completion of this effort then the LOE would increase. Qwest is currently in the scheduling process on this candidate and will indicate the target implementation date when it is determined.

In light of all the systems impacts identified above, Qwest maintains its position that the LOE is appropriate for this CR. Considering the re-architecture effort currently underway, and the various back end systems impacts, Qwest’s position is that the requested implementation date of August 2003 is not technically feasible.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Senior Director Information Technologies Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE April 4, 2003

RE: SCR012103-06 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR012103-06. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 16,000 to 17,000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR012103-06.

Sincerely, Qwest

-- March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003 RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request. Sincerely, Qwest

Project Meetings

December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that AT&T is okay to close this CR. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T agreed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

- November 29, 2004 Email Sent to AT&T: Hi Sharon,

1) SCR012103-04ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T 2) SCR012103-06ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 3) SCR012103-07ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments 4) SCR012103-08ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges.

This email is to follow-up on the discussion that took place at the November Monthly CMP Meeting. I believe you were going to check if the above 4 noted CMP CRs are ok to close, offline. Have you had the opportunity to research them and are you ready for them to close? If you are, let me know and I will close them out. If you are not yet ready to close them let me know that as well. I am not aware of any problems associated to the October 18th implementation of these CRs.

Thanks Sharon for your attention to these CRs. I look forward to hearing from you.

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that the current bill that is being produced is a shell and a lot of needed detail is not there. Jeri stated that the bill is not a verifiable bill. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that there is an existing set of phrase codes to follow. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. There were no other questions or comments for Item 10. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due to be presented by AT&T at the February 20th Systems CMP Meeting

Final Response SCR012103-07-E16

June 12, 2003

Carla Dickinson Pardee AT&T

Dear Ms. Dickinson Pardee:

This letter is in response to your June 5, 2003 (E16) escalation regarding the AT&T position that the target implementation date for “CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments” CMP CR SCR012103-07 should be moved up to August 2003.

As discussed in the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on May 22, 2003, Qwest is currently performing a re-architecture of the overall billing platform which is being delivered in phases. This CABS/BOS work is contingent upon this re-architecture effort. If this CR were to be worked prior to the completion of this effort then the LOE would increase.

Considering the re-architecture effort currently underway, and the various back end systems impacts, Qwest’s position is that the requested implementation date of August 2003 is not technically feasible. At this point, Qwest is targeting the implementation of this CR for June of 2004.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Senior Director Information Technologies Qwest

Revised Draft Response March 13, 2003

RE: SCR012103-07 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR012103-07. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 2000 to 3000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR012103-07.

Sincerely, Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003 RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request. Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following change to populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges so that Qwest will become compliant with the current OBF standard and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. In this respect, AT&T requests that Qwest populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of '1' for monthly recurring access charges and a value of '2' for non-recurring charges.

December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that AT&T is okay to close this CR. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T agreed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

- November 29, 2004 Email Sent to AT&T: Hi Sharon,

1) SCR012103-04ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T 2) SCR012103-06ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 3) SCR012103-07ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments 4) SCR012103-08ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges.

This email is to follow-up on the discussion that took place at the November Monthly CMP Meeting. I believe you were going to check if the above 4 noted CMP CRs are ok to close, offline. Have you had the opportunity to research them and are you ready for them to close? If you are, let me know and I will close them out. If you are not yet ready to close them let me know that as well. I am not aware of any problems associated to the October 18th implementation of these CRs.

Thanks Sharon for your attention to these CRs. I look forward to hearing from you.

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

March 4, 2003 Email from Carla Pardee/AT&T to cmpcr@qwest.com with a cc to Peggy Esquibel-Reed: Peggy: Per our meeting this morning, I am resubmitting the CRs we discussed. I decided it would be best to leave the initial CR, and I am resubmitting 8 separate CRs. I assume you will assign new numbers? Also, for date submitted, I left the 1/22/03 as the initial submission date, and a resubmitted date of 3/4/03. Please feel free to call me if you have any questins in this regard. Thanks.

-- March 4, 2003 Email from AT&T: I definitely agree. Thanks for looking, I am not sure how I missed this, but I did! Thanks. This will be very helpful to us. --Original Message-- From: Peggy Esquibel-Reed [mailto:pesquib@qwest.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:28 PM To: Pardee, Carla D, CSLSM Subject: SCR012103-01 ITEMs 4 & 5

-- March 4, 2003 Email to AT&T: Carla -- In regard to items 4 & 5 on SCR012103-01, I have verified that they are in fact the same as what is to be delivered with the existing CMP CR of SCR110802-02IG. I have verified that SCR110802-02IG is not a BillMate specific effort. Based on that information, I do not believe that a new CR needs to be submitted for these 2 items. Item 4 is Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. Item 5 is Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. I have attached a copy of SCR110802-02IG for your review. Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com 303.896.6332

-- March 4, 2003 Meeting with AT&T with recommendation on how best to split CR into smaller efforts: Attendees - Carla Pardee/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Bob Hayes,/AT&T, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Dean Buhler/Qwest, Mark Heline/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the purpose of the call was to recommend to AT&T how it would be nest to split the original CR containing 10 items into smaller efforts. Peggy stated that the split recommendation is based on Qwest analyzing each piece of work and stated that splitting of the CR may also help when scheduling the CR's for deployment. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated the recommendation as follows and AT&Ts agreement is also stated: ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. AT&T agreed to modify the original AT&T CR, SCR012103-01, to include this item only. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There is an existing Systems CMP CR, SCR110802-02IG, for items 4 and 5 on the original CR. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if SCR110802-02IG was a BIllMate CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that it was not. Shelley Mason/Qwest confirmed. Peggy agreed to revalidate. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. AT&T will send a separate CR for this item. Qwest believes that this was delivered in an October Release. AT&T has stated that they may, in time, withdraw the CR if they find this to be true. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. AT&T agreed to submit a separate CR for this item. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked for status if the ICA call was a standing call. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that the calls take place each Tuesday and Thursday. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if these 10 items would be included in the agreement. Dean Buhler/Qwest stated that internal discussions were still taking place and stated that the redlined changes have not yet been completed. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is more than willing to split the original CR (SCR012103-01) and would send in the CR's today. Carla asked if Clarification calls would need to again take place. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that if AT&T and Qwest were comfortable that additional calls would not be needed, we would not have to hold them. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she is comfortable without additional clarification calls; she does not want to start over. Kerri Waldner/Qwest also stated that she was comfortable without additional clarification calls. There was no dissent from the call participants to not have additional clarification calls for the resubmitted CRs. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked when these would be scheduled. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling needs to be determined Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide a status for each affected CR at the March Systems CMP Meeting. There were no other questions or comments. The call was adjourned.

- February 26, 2003 Email sent to Carla Pardee/AT&T: Good Afternoon Carla -- We are in the process of analyzing how it makes the most sense to split your CR in order to present you with the recommendation and need clarification on one of the items. For the third item on your CR, which is 'Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges', will you confirm that you are referencing a 40-15-XX record and not a billing record? If that is not correct, would you please provide additional information as to where exactly, you want to see the activity dates? I appreciate you help. Here is an excerpt regarding item 3, from the Clarification Meeting Minutes, if it helps.: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date.

February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T presented CR and asked what the next step was. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently analyzing how to best split the CR and will be scheduling a meeting with AT&T to discuss. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would schedule the meeting. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Meeting - February 4, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: Carla Pardee/AT&T, Jeri Lancaster/AT&T, Mer Thompson/AT&T, Scott Carne/Qwest, Shelley Mason/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Deb Walker/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Jami Larson/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest CR Description Review: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Qwest has filed for several exceptions from compliance with OBF standards for CABS/IABS. AT&T requests that Qwest implement the following changes so that Qwest will become compliance with the current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. Peggy stated that there are 10 items and each item would be discussed. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Products: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the impacted products noted on the CR were UBL, UNE Switching, UNE Transport, UNE Loop, and UNE-P. Peggy asked AT&T for confirmation of the impacted products. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that the CR is for the current AT&T products. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that would look into the AT&T product set. Correct Personnel Involved: No other personnel identified. CLECs Expectations/Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she was aware that this CR might need to be split into several smaller CR’s. Carla stated that the CR was issued with all 10 items so that there could be 1 discussion for all issues. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that after the Clarification call, Qwest will analyze to determine if a split of the issues would make sense and bring forward to AT&T recommendations for how the CR should be split. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that each of the 10 items would be discussed individually during this call. ITEM 1: Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for confirmation that this was regarding the bill date. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that is asking for the same extract date for the bill pull. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked Jeri (AT&T) what the process is. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that they are currently processed on the same invoice and appears on the differences list. Jeri stated that AT&T receives an error message and that the charges on the tape and paper bill do not match. There were no other questions or comments for Item 1. ITEM 2: Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if the requested edits are for the Bill Data Tape. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that was correct. There were no other questions or concerns for Item 2. ITEM 3: Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if the reference activity date was the service order activity date. Carla Pardee/AT&T responded yes. Jami Larson/Qwest asked if AT&T was getting an error message. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that an error message was not received but that AT&T could not correlate a charge to a service order. Jeri (AT&T) stated that AT&T cannot validate the service order date. There were no other questions or comments for Item 3. ITEM 4: Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 4. ITEM 5: Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. There were no questions or comments for Item 5. ITEM 6: Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that this issue is similar to Eschelon’s CR requesting the maintenance number, circuit ID on the bill. Carla (AT&T) asked AT&T to clarify this issue. Mer Thompson/AT&T stated that the audit number is a number associated to a billing dispute or is a reference number for a trouble ticket. Mer (AT&T) stated that AT&T needs a way to associate adjustments to a trouble ticket or to a dispute. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked if this would only apply to adjustment records and asked where the audit number appears, adjustments and OC&C’s. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that appear on adjustments and OC&C’s if provided. There were no other questions or comments for Item 6. ITEM 7: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. There were no questions or comments for Item 7. ITEM 8: Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked for clarification if ‘service established’ means the account established date or when an item of service was established. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that ‘service established’ is when service or a specific feature was established. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T asked if this was the provisioning date. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it could be. Jami stated that it is the date that billing starts for the establishment of the service or of the feature. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that it is the completion date for the adding of a feature or an additional line. Jeri (AT&T) stated that the original established date is not the activity date when a change was made via a service order. There were no other questions or comments for Item 8. ITEM 9: Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. There were no questions or comments for Item 9. ITEM 10: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T stated that there are standard phrase codes within CABS/BOS. Jeri stated that Qwest Currently uses 3 phrase codes and are generic, not descriptive enough. Jeri stated that Qwest uses phrase codes such as ‘charge or credit for new service’. Jeri stated that might be X18 or X16. Jeri stated that AT&T needs the existing CABS/BOS phrase codes to be used for billing purposes; for example, ‘one time charge for service provided’. Jeri stated that the phrase codes are in the CABS documentation. Shelley Mason/Qwest asked to clarify that the phrase codes are to be used for UNE charges and adjustments in CABS. Jeri Lancaster/AT&T responded yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T needs financial assurance of the charges, that is what is driving this CR.

Carla Dickinson Pardee AT&T

Dear Ms. Dickinson Pardee:

This letter is in response to your June 5, 2003 (E17) escalation regarding the AT&T position that the target implementation date for CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges CMP CR SCR012103-08 should be moved up to August 2003 .

As discussed in the Monthly Systems CMP Meeting on May 22, 2003, Qwest is currently performing a re-architecture of the overall billing platform which is being delivered in phases. This CABS/BOS work is contingent upon this re-architecture effort. If this CR were to be worked prior to the completion of this effort then the LOE would increase. In addition, the lower LOE is due to the synergies in packaging together four SCRs 012103-04, 012103-07, 012103-08, and 110802-02IG.

Considering the re-architecture effort currently underway, and the various back end systems impacts, Qwest’s position is that the requested implementation date of August 2003 is not technically feasible. At this point, Qwest is targeting the implementation of this CR for June of 2004.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 624-4450 or by e-mail at lnotari@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Senior Director Information Technologies Qwest

Revised Draft Response March 13, 2003

RE: SCR012103-08 CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR012103-08. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting, Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 2000 to 3000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR012103-08.

Sincerely, Qwest

March 4, 2003 INFORMATION CARRIED FORWARD FROM ORIGINAL SYSTEMS CMP CR, SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Update

DRAFT RESPONSE February 5, 2003 RE: SCR012103-01 CABS/BOS IABS Updates Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of AT&T’s Change Request SCR012103-01, which is requesting that Qwest become compliant with current OBF standards, and allow AT&T to validate several charges currently appearing on Qwest’s wholesale bills. This CR includes a list of 10 items that AT&T would like Qwest to address. Those items are: 01) Process bill data and CSRs on the same day. 02) Perform all standard CABS BOS edits on the UNE bills. 03) Populate activity date with the date of the activity associated with the charges. 04) Populate adjustment thru date with the date through which the adjustment applies. 05) Populate adjustment from date with the date from which the adjustment applies. 06) Populate audit number with the reference number provided by AT&T (if provided). 07) Populate recurring/non-recurring charge indicator with a value of "1" for monthly recurring access charges and a value of "2" for non-recurring charges. 08) Populate service established dates with the date on which service was established. 09) Separate taxes and surcharges and populate on the appropriate records per the CABS guidelines. 10) Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Based upon the discussion that took place during the Clarification Meeting (held February 4, 2003) Qwest is analyzing the best approach in splitting this CR into smaller efforts, with AT&T’s agreement. Qwest is also working to investigate each item in order to develop potential solutions. Qwest will continue to research the CR, and will provide an updated response at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Qwest is working diligently to address this Change Request and to provide the most accurate LOE possible. At the February Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request. Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

When a CLEC migrates a multi-line account and then sometime later the customer requests to disconnect the main number, this must be supported through system or operation. Disconnecting the BTN on a Muliline account means that a new Account Number may have to be assigned and these rules must be known. One of the remaining numbers may have to attain BTN status with Directory Listing treatment applied to it.

SCR031203-02 Resolve Disconnect of Account Number Additional Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Chris Terrell-AT&T, Kathi Lee-AT&T, Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T, Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Anne Pent-Qwest, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest

Lynn Stecklein-Qwest stated that the purpose of this meeting was to communicate a solution for this change request that would require no system work. If everyone agreed with this solution we would cross this CR over to a Product/Process CR.

Anne Pent-Qwest cited the example of a 5 line account with the main billing TN (BTN) being removed from the account. Anne said that you have the option of using the NAN field on selecting what remaining TN you would like to use as the new BTN.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T reviewed the scenario of a 5 line account and 4 TNs are being left behind and belong to Qwest. Leo said that they would have the option of choosing the BTN.

Anne Pent-Qwest stated that we would take the next logic line number if no notification is received from the CLEC. She said that the TNs on the CSR may not be sequential.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T said that the next logic line number would then become the BTN and asked if the account would be updated with the 4 remaining TNs.

Anne Pent-Qwest stated that happens prior to completion.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T said that after the migration occurs, they will see the newly assigned BTN. He said that this is a good scenario.

Kim Isaacs-Eschelon asked what happens to the listing associated with the old BTN.

Anne Pent-Qwest said that we don’t make the listing change. She said that the FOC on a ported number has a remarks section to indicate if the listing is to be changed.

Kim Isaacs-Eschelon said that with a Resale or QPP account, you have 1 CSR with the Main Listing and the other number on another CSR with no listing. Kim asked if the listing would apply to the BTN. Kim also asked if the phone book would have a different listing.

Anne Pent-Qwest said that they would.

Kim Isaacs-Eschelon asked if a new account number could be requested as non- published.

Anne Pent-Qwest said no and that the customer would have to make a change.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T asked if the listings still belonged to Qwest in the scenario discussed above with the 4 remaining TNs.

Anne Pent-Qwest said that the listings do belong to Qwest. She said that the decision was made not to assume and that the end user would have to call Qwest to make a change.

Chris Terrell-AT&T said that she understood that Qwest would use the next logical number on the CSR for the new BTN. She asked how the customer would know.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T said that after the BTN was migrated the BCN will have that information and the customer can look at the CSR and that the rules will be reflected in the CSR. He asked how Qwest would handle the scenario where you have 5 lines migrating to AT&T on one order and the customer wants to disconnect the TN that happens to be the BTN.

Anne Pent-Qwest stated that you can designate if the customer has a preference for the main line or the next number to be the BTN and this information will be on the FOC.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T asked about listing treatment with using the next logical number.

Anne Pent-Qwest stated since you own the account in this instance the listing would have to ‘O’ and ‘I’ ‘d for the remaining TN.

Chris Terrell-AT&T asked if this was done on a disconnect order.

Anne Pent-Qwest said that this would be done on a partial C order with an ACT of ‘C’.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T said that on the change order for the account they could include the listing. He also said that if they don’t use the FOC, they will assume that Qwest has used the next logical line number and that no listing treatment is applicable.

Chris Terrell-AT&T asked if Qwest would do anything with the listing for the TN.

Anne Pent-Qwest said that if the main TN is disconnected the listing will stay the same.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T stated that they do support this solution. He said that Verizon Business uses the next logical number and automatically assigns the main listing when a BTN is disconnected.

Anne Pent-Qwest said that is what we will do and said that if you want a change to let us know.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T said that with this solution there are no changes for AT&T except to let their operations people know.

Chris Terrell-AT&T said that the ‘NAN’ field is a good thing and that they would prefer to let Qwest know what they prefer.

Leo Dimitriatis-AT&T asked if this process was documented.

Anne Pent-Qwest stated that this process is documented in various PCATs and will be updated with the Product/Process CR.

Lynn Stecklein-Qwest stated that this CR will be discussed in the March Product/Process CMP Meeting on March 21, 2007.

10/31/06 Additional Clarification Meeting

Chris Terrel - AT&T, Kathy Lee - AT&T, Leo Dimitriatis - AT&T, Chuck Anderson - Qwest, Anne Pent - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest Communications

Lynn Stecklein - Qwest stated that the purpose of this meeting is to further clarify this change request.

Chuck Anderson - Qwest asked if this request was associated with a migration request on a number that is a BTN that is disconnected between the time the conversion happens.

Leo Dimitriatis - AT&T stated there are 2 cases - the 1st is when a customer wants to disconnect the BTN that has a WTN. Leo asked what the process is for the WTN and how to obtain the WTN housing. He said that 2nd scenario is when you migrate a multi-line account with a WTN and BTN and the BTN migrates to Qwest and the WTN belongs to AT&T.

Chris Terrell - AT&T asked what if you have one BTN with multiple WTNs on the account - what is the BTN to WTN status.

Chuck Anderson - Qwest stated that he needed to investigate the WTN with the next highest sequence.

Leo Dimitriatis- AT&T asked what the CLEC needs to do when the BTN has been elevated. He said that they need to know what happens to the remaining WTNs and which WTN is elevated to BTN.

Chuck Anderson - Qwest said that we just need to figure out the notification or disclosure process when the BTN has been taken off the account and which WTN becomes the BTN.

Leo Dimitriatis - AT&T asked what happens if you have 1 BTN and 1 main listing.

Chuck Anderson - Qwest stated that we need to talk with the Listing SME. He said that this may not require system work and would just be a process change.

Chris Terrel - AT&T stated that they would prefer an enhancement without system work.

Chris Terrell-AT&T stated that they would like to leave this CR open and is a medium priority for AT&T.

Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions.

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated this was low for AT&T.

Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T’s interest was moderate.

Review Requested Description of Change When a CLEC migrates a multi-line account and then sometime later the customer requests to disconnect the main number, this must be supported through system or operation.

3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that she was not real familiar with this CR but thought that the description of change was self explanatory. If you lose the main number how do you get a new main listing. It currently doesn’t allow us to do a new main listing. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they have run into this with EDI. The answer is that when you migrate the BTN, regardless if you identified the new BTN you want, Qwest says that it’s an optional field. It is automatically processed as non-published. We have no say of what it should be and if the customer wants it any different they have to call Qwest Retail. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that it sounds like the request is for after the fact. Connie Winston/Qwest noted that Qwest will schedule the clarification call and that this CR will be eligible for the 15.0 release Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T suggested that AT&T send out the information regarding the clarification call to the other CLECs.

Description Of Change

Currently if an order is generated thru IMA EDI then order status can not be accessed via IMA GUI. AT&T is requesting for Orders sent via IMA EDI that Pending Service Order Notices (PSONS) and Status updates - Auto Push transaction be supported via IMA GUI. This allows a CLEC that doesn't want to support these transactions via IMA EDI, the ability to get access to this additional information when it is necessary (such as investigating pending service orders issues.)

- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: This enhancement will allow for Status Updates to be supported via the IMA GUI for LSRs originally sent via EDI. This provides a CLEC that does not want to support these transactions via IMA EDI, the ability to access the data in the IMA GUI. Since there is a possibility for the user to see both GUI and EDI status updates via the GUI, there will be a filter on the GUI screen that will allow the CLEC to choose GUI only, EDI only, or both GUI and EDI status updates.

Products: Those in scope that can receive a status update

Forms Impacted: N/A

Field Impacts: N/A

ACTs: N/A

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the CR. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that we did provide an LOE but wanted to make sure everyone understood that the GUI supports only the current version. This change would require us to support backward compatible features. The LOE provided to build this out. There will be an ongoing cost to upgrade the GUI to maintain previous GUI releases and will required an additional 1000-2000 hours for each release. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that on the clarification call we agreed that we wouldn’t have to deal with the backward version. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that is do I build it and make it compatibility with backwards versions today… the issue is that…if it’s gets built into 14, then when 15 comes along we support 14 and 15. The issue is that we have not had the overhead to have the GUI look at previous versions and that’s why we want to let you know that this would have incremental costs associated with it. Our initial estimate is 1-2,000 hours, once it get’s defined we won’t have such a high estimate on that. Kit Thomte/Qwest noted that the status will change to pending prioritization.

Jill Martain-Qwest stated that we will include everyone’s top 2 candidates in the meeting minutes. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest reviewed the prioritization instructions. She said that Qwest will distribute the Prioritization Form by 5 p.m. MT on February 20, 2006.

Lynn said that the total point will be calculated by the Qwest CMP Manager and the results will be distributed to the CLECs within 2 business days following the submission of the ranking and no later than 5 p.m. on February 27, 2006. Sharon Van Meter-AT&T asked if Qwest could explain how the highest point value works and how, for example, number 21 would be the top choice. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said that the highest point value (i.e. 21) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and CLECs wish to be implemented first. She said that the next highest point value (i.e. 20) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon explained that we go through this exercise to take into consideration what the other CLECs top priorities are so that as each CLEC votes they could take into consideration the other CLECs top 2 as well instead of just ranking their top 2 and then going down the list. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint asked if the ballot would have a ‘Point Value’ Column. Jill Martain-Qwest said that the ballot would have the ‘Point Value’ Column and that instructions would be included with the notification. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what the IMA 20.0 capacity was, hinting at 75,000 hours Jill Martain-Qwest said that the IMA 20.0 capacity is 7,500 hours.

February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Sharon Van Meter-AT&T stated that this CR is a low priority for AT&T Liz Balvin-Covad stated that we need to look at QPP going forward. Chris Terrell-AT&T said that she agreed.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this is a low priority for AT&T.

Description Of Change

Currently the PCAT provides Ordering Instructions for all of the UNEP Features stated in the UNE-P Features Matrix (http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/clecs/features/unepfeatures.html).

Based on the current PCAT for Custom Ringing Service (last updated: September 10, 2002) a CLEC should be able to order Custom Ringing Service using the FA (Feature Activity), FEATURE and FEATURE DETAIL fields. However, during testing we received the following error messages :"RESALE Form:Service Details Section 1:Features Section: Can not convert or change USOC(s) not already on the account: RGGxx not on the account". We were instructed that this was not a defect, and this is how the system works for this particular item.

AT&T is requesting the support of Custom Ringing Service using the Feature Activity, Feature and Feature Detail fields.

Expected Deliverable:

That Qwest support Custom Ringing Service using the Feature Activity, Feature and Feature Detail fields

- May 18, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments regarding the IMA 18.0 Packaging, in attachment M. There were questions or comments brought forward.

April 19, 2005 Meeting Minutes Attendees: Sharon Van Meter-AT&T, Leo Dimitriadis-AT&T, Bishan Agrawal-AT&T, Susie Wells-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Carol McKenzie-Qwest, Anders Ingemarson-Qwest, Pam Harlan-Qwest

Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that this meeting was requested to discuss this CR and see what AT&T was currently experiencing with this issue. Leo Dimitriadis-AT&T stated that this CR was submitted for multi-distinct ring features, which is currently supported via the Remarks field. Leo noted that this CR is asking to handle features with a USOC. Leo stated that AT&T is not currently experiencing this problem due to a special case. Sharon Van Meter-AT&T stated that AT&T does no currently have this problem due to a workaround. Sharon stated that they need this enhancement so that the information would no longer need to be place in Remarks. Pam Harlan-Qwest asked what AT&T was putting in the Remarks field for Feature Activity. Anders Ingemarson-Qwest asked for a current example or scenario. Sharon Van Meter-AT&T stated that she does have a recent LSR example and will send it to Peggy (Esquibel Reed-Qwest). Susie Wells-Qwest asked to confirm if AT&T was requesting to be able to do an FA of N for new. Leo Dimitriadis-AT&T stated that they want similar to any other feature. Susie Wells-Qwest asked if the workaround could be bypassed in order to issue a Custom Ringing LSR. Leo Dimitriadis-AT&T stated that in order to bypass the workaround; AT&T would need coding on their side. Leo stated that Custom Ringing is automatically handled via the Remarks field. Susie Wells-Qwest asked if the workaround was hard coded in their EDI process and cannot manually be bypassed. Leo Dimitriadis-AT&T said that was correct. Leo then asked for the status of this CR. Carol McKenzie-Qwest stated that this CR is the #5 ranked CR, as a result of the 18.0 Prioritization. Leo Dimitriadis-AT&T stated that AT&T was moving to IMA 18.0 in November/December.

There were no questions. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this was low for AT&T.

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

Based on the current PCAT for Custom Ringing Service (last updated: September 10, 2002) a CLEC should be able to order Custom Ringing Service using the FA (Feature Activity), FEATURE and FEATURE DETAIL fields. However, during testing we received the following error messages :"RESALE Form:Service Details Section 1:Features Section: Can not convert or change USOC(s) not already on the account: RGGxx not on the account". We were instructed that this was not a defect, and this is how the system works for this particular item. AT&T is requesting the support of Custom Ringing Service using the Feature Activity, Feature and Feature Detail fields.

Description Of Change

Request for Single BCN at the LSR level similar to the FOC and SOC.

Today the BCN is returned for each WCN via the Status Updates – Auto Push transaction.

If a CLEC sends a Move Order for UNEP POTS this will generate two internal QWEST orders or WCNs.

The internal QWEST order numbers must be captured and managed by the CLEC from the single Firm Order Confirmation (FOC) transaction. As each WCN completes provisioning a Status Updates – Auto Push Transaction is created. Once all WCN have been provisioned a single Service Order Complete (SOC) transaction is sent.

As each WCN completes billing a Status Updates – Auto Push Transaction is created. Once all BCNs have completed (unlike the SOC) a single BCN transaction is NOT generated. Thus the CLECs are required to use the internal QWEST orders to identify all of the BCNs and determine when Billing is completed for the LSR.

If a CLEC wants to receive the BCN they must subscribe to the Status Updates-Auto Push transaction. Once subscribed six types of statuses are automatically sent via this transaction. CLECs are required to filter through the unwanted statuses to obtain the BCN information related to the internal QWEST order number.

AT&T is requesting a Single BCN transaction thus resulting in FOC-SOC-BCN.

Supporting Documents: Qwest Notification: SYST.02.13.04.F.01366.IMAEDI15.0Cand&DocWkth Documentation containing 15.0 Candidate Summaries: February 17, 2004, attached to notification CRs can be found in the Qwest Wholesale Change Request Interactive Report located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html

Anne Robberson provided the overview based on the document circulated with the meeting agenda.

Phyllis: What is the timing of the new transaction? Today, there is autopush when you subscribe to the Posted to Be Billed. With single BCN will I receive the BCN right after the transaction is posted to be billed? Hank Martinez Qwest (Hank): You will receive the BCN once all the orders associated with that request have posted. Phyllis: When would that would be? John: Multiple orders won’t show up on a BCN until all requests on the LSR are processed. Phyllis: But right after? Immediately? Within seconds? John: Yes. Phyllis: So we can likely stop status updates and just get BCN? (Phyllis cited an example.) John: You may still do the posted to be billed at the order level. Phyllis: And the status update will be based on subscription? You can get both? John: Yes. Qwest will provide status update even when you subscribe to BCN. Phyllis: Is it the same process? Should CLECs request a profile update? Anne Robberson Qwest (Anne): Yes. Hank Martinez Qwest (Hank): It should be noted that the effective date for the subscription to the BCN is the next business day following the profile sign up.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we validated that a final 'AN' will be issued on SCR032103-01 (Request Final BCN) and that this action will be closed. 8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that their interest was high. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that their interest was high.

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T noted that the original BCN request was reviewed in the March CMP Systems meeting and was denied. Phyllis Burt (AT&T) revised the request to reflect what was discussed in the March meeting. Donna reviewed the description of change. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the clarification call was held and that the level of effort is 2100 to 3500 hours. John clarified that this request would provide a BCN for each LSR. The CLECs profile will determine how they want to receive the BCN. The CLECs will still receive the BCN at an order level but can choose to receive it at an LSR level. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the LOE would be impacted by adding other products to this request. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that in the clarification meeting it was discussed that this request would apply to all products. John Gallegos/Qwest agreed and stated this functionality would be applicable on products where BCN is standard. Sue Stott/Qwest said that the LOE includes all products where the BCN is provided. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she wanted to thank Qwest for the help on this request and wanted to give a heads up that AT&T will be seeking to process this request as a Late Adder. Sue Stott/Qwest clarified that the Release date for 14.0 is December. Otherwise, it will be eligible for 15.0 Release. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked where the other late adder was in the document. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that SCR040403-01 (Generate LML for additional listing changes) is located in Attachment T and will be discussed later in the day.

4/10/03 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T, Phyllis Burt - AT&T, Terry Kilker - Qwest, Anne Roberson - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest, Shonna Pasionek - Qwest, Wendy Green - Qwest

Review Requested Description of Change Request for Single BCN at the LSR level similar to the FOC and SOC. Today the BCN is returned for each WCN via the Status Updates Auto Push transaction. If a CLEC sends a Move Order for UNEP POTS this will generate two internal QWEST orders or WCNs. The internal QWEST order numbers must be captured and managed by the CLEC from the single Firm Order Confirmation (FOC) transaction. As each WCN completes provisioning a Status Updates Auto Push Transaction is created. Once all WCN have been provisioned a single Service Order Complete (SOC) transaction is sent. As each WCN completes billing a Status Updates Auto Push Transaction is created. Once all BCNs have completed (unlike the SOC) a single BCN transaction is NOT generated. Thus the CLECs are required to use the internal QWEST orders to identify all of the BCNs and determine when Billing is completed for the LSR. If a CLEC wants to receive the BCN they must subscribe to the Status Updates-Auto Push transaction. Once subscribed six types of statuses are automatically sent via this transaction. CLECs are required to filter through the unwanted statuses to obtain the BCN information related to the internal QWEST order number. AT&T is requesting a Single BCN transaction thus resulting in FOC-SOC-BCN.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted John Gallegos - Qwest confirmed which products AT&T was requesting this functionality. AT&T stated that they want on UNE-P POTS but in the March CMP Meeting other CLECs stated that they would like on other Products. John stated that this functionality would be applicable on products where BCN is standard. The interface will be changed to IMA Common. John Gallegos/Qwest clarified that this request would provide a BCN for each LSR. The CLECs profile will determine how the they want to received the BCN. They will still have the choice to receive a BCN at the order level or now have the option of receiving the BCN at the LSR level.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation AT&T requested that this request be processed as a late adder.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests NA

Establish Action Plan AT&T will present this CR in the April CMP Systems Meeting and the Late Adder Process will be discussed.

March CMP Systems Meeting SCR022703-13 Single WCN and Single BCN (Originated by AT&T) Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented this CR and asked for more information regarding the denial. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest noted that this is a substantial architectural change to our billing system and would be a very large effort. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that currently we get confirmation of the Qwest internal order number and asked if there was a way not to subscribe to the auto push and receive just a single BCN. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Eschelon asked that question and the response was no. You have to get them all or none at all. Candy Skaff/Eschelon said that the final response was for the GUI and we could retrieve the status update out of the GUI and for EDI the information would be via an EDI file. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that the asked the same question and from an EDI perspective we felt that we could build to one of the status indicators from the auto push for the status updates. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if it is possible to build in EDI to the BCN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that they do not want the auto push, we just want the final BCN. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that she hears two questions 1 – You want to which statuses to receive and, 2—You want one BCN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that you are going to status update to get BCN and you have to look at all status updates. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we would be happy to have an options meeting to discuss these issues but there’s just no way to do this in time for the vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if they could opt to build their interface to receive only status updates numbers 1 or 3 or 5 in EDI instead of all of the status updates. Connie Winston/Qwest said that’s what we’d have to talk to development about. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked for clarification on how they could revise this CR to meet the vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she thought they could do a late adder. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that she did not think we could respond with the LOE within the necessary timeframe and believe we are designing on the fly. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if another clarification call was necessary. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the 3-day timeframe is a critical issue and is driving up the cost. That is one of the reasons for the denial. If we can get agreement to change the 3-day timeframe to the 5-day timeframe, we may be able to re-look at this. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Phyllis Burt/AT&T is they could take out the 3-day timeframe and Phyllis agreed if they could still get it into the vote. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she we will have to redesign and LOE in time for the vote. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if there was anything that could be negotiated. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we could have an options meeting but it could not be done before the 14.0 vote. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked about the option of having the BCN that exists today but building to one status. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that would be an architectural change and once again don’t know what the effort would require. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said she thought AT&T might be willing to remove the sentence to remove the requirement of 3 days but also heard a request to be able to pick and choose what status updates you want. And I don’t’ think that’s part of what was LOEd. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she would like to open an action item to see why the CLECs can’t have the option of having something less than the full 6 status options. Wendy Green/Qwest said that we currently don’t have the system programmed to allow the CLECs to choose which statuses they wanted to receive, so it would be a change to the system. She also stated that WorldCom would need to open a CR. Sue Stott/Qwest said if you look at the EDI side, your development team will also have to code to filter and build a filter to select the ones you care about. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said thank you. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that AT&T does not want to give up on this and we understand the denial. We would like to re-write this and have it potentially be a late adder. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated AT&T’s desire is a single BCN, if they can use the autopush. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if it’s a late adder could she add what WorldCom is looking for. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest doesn’t make those decisions, if it’s able to be ranked and voted in 14. What we can do is look at a new definition, and then AT&T can try to do it as a late adder. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if they removed the sentence requesting the 3 days. John Gallegos/Qwest said no I said that was one of the gaps that was causing such a high LOE. Lynn Stecklein sent a request to AT&T asking if the last sentence of the description of change could be removed and got a negative response. Connie Winston/Qwest summarized that AT&T would like 1 BCN, no 3-day timeframe and no WCN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that if it’s the 3 days that’s causing the deny, then AT&T will remove. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we just want to be really clear that we would only be looking at LOEing a single BCN and she also stated that the time is short and also don’t know if it will be econmically feasible until we check with the Development Team. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that this would be harder to do as a late adder then to have Qwest try to go back and re-LOE it and try to get it in the vote. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we can certainly try, but can almost guarantee that this can’t be done in time for 14.0 prioritization. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she didn’t think Phyllis had changed her mind on what she wants other than the 3-day requirement. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she wanted to clarify that we did try to make that suggestion before hand, but now the time is so short. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that there didn’t need to be an additional clarification meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon other than what Phyllis is looking at which is having a BCN at the LSR level, we don’t want to add anything to the scope of that. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we will do what we can. Sue Stott/Qwest said that this is a huge change, and the ballot goes out Tuesday and I really don’t want to set any false expectations. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that obviously it has a lot of CLEC support and so although late adder requires a unanimous vote it doesn’t seem there’ll be a problem. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T could have the CR updated by tomorrow. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that she would have it updated tomorrow. She also asked to keep in mind that the request is for a single BCN and if they can generate a separate BCN that’s fine too. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if the status would be changed to evaluation. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CR will remain in denied status until the new CR information is reviewed.

3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented the change request. Liz Balvin /WorldCom asked why the WorldCom CR was rejected. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest stated that the difference was a real-time EDI individual transaction vs. a report coming back from EDI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when we looked at your request, we thought you wanted all of Loss & Completions coming back through EDI. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she was frustrated because when she came to CMP she just wanted the Loss report and was told it had to be both (Loss & Completions). Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is still a report. This is a transactional change and not a report. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that it might be helpful for WorldCom to go back and verify with their teams. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that the confusion may have been the way the CR was worded. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it is still frustrating and feels that there was a lack of communication in what was put in her CR and questioned why Qwest did not provide options. Peggy Esquibel/Reed/Qwest stated that she sent an e-mail asking WorldCom if this CR met their needs. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she did receive the e-mail and wanted to discuss with AT&T but had not done so. John Gallegos/Qwest reviewed the title of the WorldCom CR and noted that it was for Loss & Completion. Lynn Notarriani/Qwest said that we do not want to spend a lot of time trying to look at how to do the same thing in a different format or way. Any gaps in communication on the clarification call should have been identified by the WorldCom and their technical team. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that in the clarification call the request was identified as Loss and Completions but one of the WorldCom SMEs referred to the report. Connie Winston/Qwest recommended that in the future we need to make sure we have the correct subject matter experts on the clarification call. When it clearly states ‘report’, that’s the direction we would take. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked how everyone felt about opening up the invitation to anyone interested in joining the clarification call. Connie Winston/Qwest said that when we get the whole community together some people may have different ideas or have additional questions. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it’s hard enough to get the initiator together so perhaps we could have the meeting set up with only the initiator and they could invite the entire group. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that she will take an action item and talk to Judy Schultz/Qwest. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T said that AT&T would be happy to create the CR to get the language in the CMP document changed. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this issue warrants readdressing especially when a vote is at stake. Kit Thomte/Qwest said she understood and will take the action item and address in the April CMP Product/Process meeting.

Description Of Change

QWEST requires the recap of the Local Main Listing (LML) whenever action is taken on an additional listing on a Change Order (REQTYP=MB & ACT=C) or Directory Listing only order (REQTYP=HB & ACT=R).

Since the LML is not changing, AT&T is requesting QWEST to system generate the LML information they require to access their legacy system using the information provided on the LSR order such as ATN, ALI and LTN fields.

3/18/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest asked if AT&T was still validating this request from the 14.0 Release. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Phyllis (Burt/AT&T) if she was ready to close the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that that CR could be closed. This CR moves to Completed Status.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this CR needs to remain in CLEC Test.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would like to keep this CR open until the February CMP Systems Meeting.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she would like this CR to remain open.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Currently, CLECs are required to enter the Local Main Listing (LML) and a LACT of Z information on the first DL form when performing subsequent product listing activities such as a change order or Directory Listing Order on an existing account. In an effort to streamline these listing activities, this candidate proposes to remove the requirement that the first DL form must be RTY=LML. Additionally, a LACT of Z will no longer be required

IMA will be modified so that a CLEC will NOT be required to enter either LML information or a LACT of Z on the first DL form when performing product listing activity on change orders (REQTYP = MB, ACT = C) or Directory Listing Orders (REQTYP = HB, ACT = R) or for re-sale orders when the REQTYP = EB, ACT = C. The CLEC will still have the option to enter LML information on the first DL form, but this will no longer be a requirement.

Questions & Answers:

There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- 5/22/2003 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that this CR was presented last month and is a Late Adder for IMA 14.0. 4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked if AT&T could present the other late adder. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed the second CR that AT&T would like to have considered as a Late Adder. SCR040303-01 (System Generate LML for additional listing only changes) She reviewed the description of change. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that we are hoping to get the LOE soon and will provide to everyone upon receipt. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if with a late adder, do we re-prioritize Jim Maher/Qwest stated that we will send out instructions, but you insert where you want the late adder CR added, ex: between 10 and 11. You will not go back and re-prioritize you will clearly note where you want the CR to fall. The intent in re-design was so that the companies would not go back and re-do their prioritization. Jim read from Section 10.3 of the CMP document. Sue Stott/Qwest asked if we re-calculate. Randy Owen/Qwest noted that Qwest will adjust the point value assigned to whatever the CLEC chooses as their placement for the late adder. Sue Stott/Qwest said that what this does is allow you to insert the late adder CR into the current prioritized list. This is important because we have already begun working on the list as it is currently prioritized. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T and we are going to vote on this. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that because of the submitted date of the CRs and the late adder request we had to ask AT&T to submit an exception. She reviewed the exception to the CMP document (Exception request to allow a vote on Late Adder CRs outside of a Monthly CMP Systems Meeting), she reviewed what a vote of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ will indicate. She also noted that there would be a meeting next Tuesday, April 22, 2003 at 10:00 am MT to hold the vote. Jim Maher/Qwest said that there will be three votes, one for the exception, and one for each of the CRs being requested as late adders. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if there needed to be a quorum. Laurel Nolan/Qwest said yes and we will calculate the quorum after this meeting. Typically, it has been around 5-6. Kit Thomte/Qwest re-capped what the separate votes would cover. Laurel Nolan/Qwest noted that when we have the vote, it’s just a yes or no vote. The CLECs will not be expected to provide their ranks at the meeting. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked when will there be an outcome. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that at the latest, May 2nd, 2003. Lynn also told Phyllis that she could get the details on all that was discussed associated with the Exception and late adder CRs on the Wholesale Resources Website.

Description Of Change

This exception CR seeks to allow a vote on a Late Adder outside of a CMP Meeting (Exception to 10.3.4). The Late Adder process is described in Section 5.2.1 and 10.3.4

Desired outcome:

Exemption from the CMP process as described in CMP Document, Section 10.3.4. This will allow the vote for the Late Adder approval to take place at an ad hoc CMP Meeting, and not the Monthly CMP Meeting as described in Section 10.3.4.

Description Of Change

REVISED 2-25-2004: ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY REQUESTED

AT&T expects all LFID data to be associated with a specific RTY group (SLN loop).

In the example below, all LFIDs associated with the LML (1st SLN loop in the example below) do not appear under the LML. Instead some are appearing under separate SLN loops (2nd , 3rd & 4th SLN loops in the example below).

-- September 19, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that this is the IMA 23.0 Initial Prioritization List and is the list that we would work from for the Packaging of the 23.0 Release.

-- August 15, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that IMA 23.0 is scheduled in April of 2008. Note: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon said that candidate number 7 - SCR121306-01 Enable the EOS Field on the Directory Listing Form is on the Commitment List for IMA 22.0. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that we will remove that candidate from the IMA 23.0 list. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the Prioritization Instructions and spreadsheet candidate list are included in this attachment. She stated that there are 11 candidates on the list. She said that Qwest and the CLEC ranks each CR on the list by providing a point value from 1 through 11. Peggy said that the highest point value (11) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented first. The next point value (10) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. The lowest point value (1) should be assigned to the least desired CR. Peggy stated that the total points will be calculated by the Qwest CMP Manager and the results will be distributed to the CLECs via mailout within 2 business days following the submission of the ranking. Peggy reviewed the timelines associated with prioritization: - Qwest Re-Distributes the Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 20th - The Completed Prioritization Form will be submitted to cmpcr@qwest.com by 5 pm MT on August 23rd. - Qwest e-mails the Initital Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 27th. - Peggy asked if everyone would like to provide their top 2 candidates. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that their top candidate is #9 SCR062906-03 Allow End State Ordering for Resale POTS Service. Integra - no response Jeff Sonnier-Sprint said that he would send an e-mail with this information. Note: 8/17/07 - E-mail received from Sprint with top 2 candidates: 1. Change of usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders 2. Allow NP Bus Name on Residential Account TDS - no response Verizon Business - no response Sue Wright-XO Communications stated that she had nothing to share.

-- August 8, 2007 Email Sent to AT&T: Hi Kathy, That's fine. I have revised the CR and attached a current copy for your records. Peggy

-- August 8, 2007 Email Received From AT&T: Hi Peggy, Leo isn't quite ready to let this one go... so if you would please change this to resale, that would be great. Thanks so much! Kathy

-- August 8, 2007 Email Sent to AT&T: Good Afternoon Kathy, This email is in regard to a CMP CR that AT&T submitted, to Qwest, in October 2003. I have attached a copy of the CR. This CR was submitted for UNE-P POTS and Resale. As a result of TRO/TRRO UNE-P POTS is no longer a CMP Product and needs to be removed from this request. The CR would be for Resale only. This CR has been ranked pretty low in the last several releases which prompts me to ask the question of what you would like done with this CR. Based on the reduction in scope, due to TRRO, and the low rankings, would you like to withdraw the CR or would you like the CR revised to be for Resale only? Please let me know which option you would like to go with and I will take it from there. Thank you, in advance, for your prompt reply. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

Sharon Van Meter-AT&T asked if Qwest could explain how the highest point value works and how, for example, number 21 would be the top choice. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said that the highest point value (i.e. 21) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and CLECs wish to be implemented first. She said that the next highest point value (i.e. 20) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon explained that we go through this exercise to take into consideration what the other CLECs top priorities are so that as each CLEC votes they could take into consideration the other CLECs top 2 as well instead of just ranking their top 2 and then going down the list. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint asked if the ballot would have a ‘Point Value’ Column. Jill Martain-Qwest said that the ballot would have the ‘Point Value’ Column and that instructions would be included with the notification. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what the IMA 20.0 capacity was, hinting at 75,000 hours Jill Martain-Qwest said that the IMA 20.0 capacity is 7,500 hours.

Advised Donna that another option would be for AT&T to submit a separate CR for Trunks and Centrex. Advised Donna that it is AT&Ts decision as to which option to choose. Also advised Donna to keep in mind when making her decision that 17.0 prioritization is scheduled to occur after the July Systems CMP Meeting. Advised Donna that this CR ranked #13 in the 16.0 prioritization. Asked Donna to let me know what her decision is once it is made.

February 25, 2004 - Conference Call SCR022703-04 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR (deployed with the IMA 14.0 Release) SCR103103-01 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR #2 (currently ranked 13 of 50 in IMA 16.0)

Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Phyllis Burt-AT&T, Regina Mosley-AT&T, Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, Danelle Haynes-Qwest

Purpose: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss the 2 CR’s that were submitted, by AT&T, for Parsed and Structured CSR.

Meeting Discussion: Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that something was noticed as part of the 14.0 release for Part 1 of the 2-CRs. Phyllis stated that EDI was not coming back as AT&T assumed it would, based on disclosure. Phyllis stated that AT&T expected every DL in a separate structure. Phyllis stated that there needs to be a fix for the LFID and stated that Qwest has said that it is not a bug and that the system is working as it was designed. Phyllis stated that her EDI Team suggested that she modify the CR for Part 2 to get the LFID issue taken care of. Phyllis noted that AT&T had sent an email (February 17, 2004) regarding this issue. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the emailed information was received. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T had specifically coded to handle the LFID. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that there have been extensive ad-hoc meetings to identify and close any gaps and noted that the Listing Section was not mentioned or discussed. Conrad Evans/Qwest stated that on previous conference calls, what was discussed was the structuring of the S&E Section. Conrad again stated that the Listing Section was not ever discussed. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she was in agreement that the discussions for Parsed and Structured CSR were regarding the S&E Section and that the Listing Section was not discussed. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the issue and the concern and apologized that AT&T was experiencing difficulty surrounding this candidate. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest really couldn’t do a fix for the 14.0 candidate, as it would be a very large effort for the work that needs to be done for the Listing Section. John stated that AT&T can revise their Parsed and Structured CSR #2 to incorporate the Listing Section. John stated that Qwest understands what AT&T is looking for. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she agrees with revising of the #2 CR (SCR103103-01). Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Phyllis (Burt) could send the revision to her. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked what, in addition to the emailed information, needed to be provided. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the information from the email would be sufficient and could be incorporated into the CR as the revision. John Gallegos/Qwest again apologized for the difficulty that AT&T was having. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that AT&T agrees that the Listing Section was not discussed in the original scope of the first CR (SCR022703-04). Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would revise the CR and provide a copy of the revised CR to the participants on the call. There were no additional comments or questions.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

A vote of ‘No’ will indicate that SCR103103-01 will NOT be included in the IMA 15.0 Prioritization as a Late Adder request. There were no questions associated with the Yes and No vote. Connie Winston - Qwest suggested that for future consideration of Late Adder Requests, they should be submitted as soon as possible, especially if the candidates will be a large work effort to implement.

Final Response January 10, 2008

CMP Area Wholesale Systems CR # SCR103103-01 Date Submitted 10/31/2003 and revised 2/25/2004 Submitter AT&T Title Support of Parsed and Structured CSR

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR103103-01, dated 10/31/03 and titled: Support of Parsed and Structured CSR .

CR Description: AT&T expects all LFID data to be associated with a specific RTY group (SLN loop). In an example provided by AT&T, all LFIDs associated with the LML (1st SLN loop) did not appear under the LML. Instead some are appearing under separate SLN loops (2nd, 3rd & 4th SLN loops).

The above revision is requested functionality, in addition to the original request below:

AT&T is requesting the following additional CSR changes: (1) Parsed listed name and address returned for every listing (2) All of the parsed listing information returned by WTN within the WTN/ECCKT SECTION Qwest Response:

Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR103103-01 Support of Parsed and Structured CSR #2 and has determined the following:

Full listing information consists of very large data files that can not be accommodated by IMA pre-order functionality. Modifying the returned parsed data on CSR’s retrieved via IMA pre-order functionality will increase Qwest response time and time-outs beyond acceptable measures.

Please review the White Pages Directory Listings - V45.0, Directory Listing Providers Business Procedures and Billing Information - Customer Records and Information System (CRIS) - V37.0 for additional information and interactive links as summarized below. Qwest provides access to your listings information as it appears in Qwest's listings database via a number of options. Listing and confirmation services include:

• Directory Service Confirmation & Error Detail (DESRED) Report and Firm Order Confirmation (FOC) • Verification Proofs • Directory Listing Inquiry System • Manual Listings Inquiry • Use the LSTR functionality for Unbundled Loop accounts that utilize Facility Based Directory Listings (FBDL). - Update the IMA profile and set up an FBDL user account to receive listings in DL form format directly from Directory - Builder listings database via IMA FOM. - Instructions can be found at the following website address for DLIS and Facility Based Directory Listings (FBDL) http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/systems/dirlist.html • Request full CSR from CSIE when unavailable from IMA pre-order – as described in the Pre-Ordering Overview. • Review bill which has includes all listing information. Your Summary Bill will summarize all the billing data from the end- users accounts. This includes all bill, listing, service and/or feature information, per line, for each account. - Bill Resend - There may be times when you wish to have a copy of a bill resent to you. To do this, you should contact your Qwest Billing SDC. • Use the Web media option to download CRIS UNE-P/QPP summary accounts from the QPID in the CABS BOS Record format. - Bill and CSR data provided in the CABS/BOS format is available as an EBCDIC file available via NDM or a downloadable ASCII file from the Qwest Protected Internet Delivery (QPID) site. - This type of billing format is available on certain commercial local exchange services products, including QLSP, QPP, and Unbundled Local Loop type billing only.

Considering the risks associated with increased IMA pre-order response times and that the listing information is currently available via the suggested options listed above, Qwest is denying this request due to no demonstrable business benefit.

Sincerely,

Qwest Corporation

DRAFT RESPONSE November 11, 2003 RE: SCR103103-01

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR103103-0.1 Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held November 7, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 3500 to 4200 hours for this IMA Change Request and SATE impacts of 675 to 825 hours.

At the November Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request.

This CR has been requested to be a Late Adder into IMA 15.0 and a vote will be conducted at the November Systems CMP Meeting.

Description Of Change

AT&T would like to do root cause analysis with Qwest in those situations where OSS outages occur. AT&T is proposing that Qwest should provide to the CLEC community, the following:

Within 24 hours (1 business day) of the event:

Qwest will send or post to a web location a preliminary OSS incident report. This report should contain the following information.

Incident ID:

Incident type: degradation OR outage ; degradation AND outage

Confirmed start date of the incident (incident is from the first alarm or report until the trouble is verified as cleared. Within an incident may be periods of degradation and periods of outage)

Confirmed start time of the incident

Confirmed identification of the functionality that was affected by the incident. For example, Order only, or Pre-Order AVQ and CSI and Loop Qual.

Confirmed end date of the incident

Confirmed end time of the incident

Total Minutes of Outage for this event: (outage as defined by performance measures)

Total Minutes of Degradation for this event:

Corrective Actions taken to clear the incident:

Initial assessment of root cause:

Within 7 business days of the event:

Qwest will send a final OSS incident report. This report should contain the following information.

Incident ID:

Incident type: degradation OR outage ; degradation AND outage

Confirmed start date of the incident (incident is from the first alarm or report until the trouble is verified as cleared. Within an incident may be periods of degradation and periods of outage)

Confirmed start time of the incident

Confirmed identification of the functionality that was affected by the incident. For example, Order only, or Pre-Order AVQ and CSI and Loop Qual.

Confirmed end date of the incident

Confirmed end time of the incident

Total Minutes of Outage for this event: (outage as defined by performance measures)

Total Minutes of Degradation for this event:

Corrective Actions taken to clear the incident:

Final assessment of root cause:

Actions taken to clear root cause: If the actions are future planned actions, like ‘new memory ordered and installation is planned for 10/29/03’ then a follow-up date must be indicated.

Next Follow-Up Due Date: Qwest to provide updated status until the actions required to correct the root cause have been tested and implemented.

Ideally, this information could be stored and sent or posted to a web location in a running Excel spreadsheet. If posted to a web location, the URL should be a consistent or ‘absolute’ URL and not a URL that changes. This will enable CLECs to easily develop scripts to download the file on a regular basis.

In managing the availability of the components of our OSS systems we have clearly identified the need to have specific incident data from all our OSS interfaces, both internal and external. We look forward to working with Qwest and the CLEC community to develop a standard process.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

To be provided the requested pieces of information for root cause analysis on OSS Systems Outages

3/18/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has been escalated by AT&T and will be worked outside of the CMP Meetings.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T was requesting notification of root cause analysis and that Qwest’s response needs elaboration. Donna stated that when they asked for Incidence type Qwest responded that the request was outside of the negotiated CMP requirements and would require a revisitation of the agreement. Donna asked what part of the agreement in the CMP document did she need to review. Donna said that Qwest could respond to that question later. Donna said that if the language needs to be modified she needs to know. Donna stated that Qwest feels what they have accomplished on this issue with Documentation Global Action Item is sufficient and AT&T disagrees. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the disagreement is around outages and that we will have an update to that later today. Connie said that this issue is specific to downstream outages. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she agrees and that they want initial and final assessment on root cause. Donna stated that Qwest should have information about what went wrong and how to remedy. Donna also stated that Qwest believes the information is already provided. Donna stated that AT&T believes the information in insufficient and needs detail. Donna stated that Qwest needs to look at this issue from AT&T’s perspective and that their clients need detail. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this is specifically associated to downstream OSS issues. Connie stated that she did not understand how sharing root cause of a system outage helps AT&T better run their business. Connie said that, for example, there is a lot of technical detail on a network connectivity failure and that she did not understand the value in providing the CLEC with that detail. Connie stated that we could have an off-line meeting to discuss with AT&T’s partners and IT technical people. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that would work for AT&T. Phyllis Burt/AT&T said that in the December meeting minutes AT&T was to provide an example (from SBC) of the detail they were looking for. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the example was not sent because the event notification from Qwest included more detail. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we will work together to better understand how root cause will help AT&T run their business. Connie also said that in the future when we refer to document changes we need to be clearer as to what section we are referring to.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the clarification call was held and that Qwest is still evaluating this CR.

12/8/03 Additional Clarification Meeting Held

Attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T, Terry Craig - AT&T, Leo Dimitriadis - AT&T, Kay Harris - AT&T, Rich Bergman - AT&T, Trent Weaver - Qwest, Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon, Kim Isaacs - Eschelon, Randy Owen - Qwest, Christy Turton - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Description of Change Lynn Stecklein - Qwest recapped the description of the request for the participants that did not attend the November 20 Systems Meeting.

Discussion: Trent Weaver - Qwest asked how AT&T would use this report. Leo Dimitriadis - AT&T stated that this report would provide AT&T from Qwest's perspective information and root cause analysis on outages etc. Rick Bergman - AT&T stated that Verizon has provided AT&T with this type of information in the past and that they have made a lot of strides in partnering with them, for example, on response time. Trent Weaver - Qwest asked AT&T what type of information they were looking for and/or what type of dialogue would take place if for instance if machines have gone down. Rick Bergman - AT&T stated that SBC would notify them of issues and/or anomolies associated with the problem, Trent Weaver - Qwest asked if AT&T had an example of the agreement they have with Verizon/SBC. Rich Bergman - AT&T stated that there was no set agreement or forrum and that they have open dialogue when necessary. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that we have had a lot of discussion lately on event notifications and that we have added information to the event notification Kay Harris/AT&T asked if this would impact order and pre-order. Randy Owen/Qwest stated both. Trent Weaver/Qwest asked if AT&T could send an example on what type of information and root cause analysis Verizon/SBC was providing. Donna Osborne-Miller - AT&T stated that she would send an example.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation AT&T would like to do root cause analysis with Qwest in those situations where OSS outages occur.

Establish Action Plan AT&T will provide an example of the root cause analysis Verizon is providing on outages.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T reviewed this CR as a walk on. AT&T is requesting the following: AT&T would like to do root cause analysis with Qwest in those situations where OSS outages occur. AT&T is proposing that Qwest should provide to the CLEC community, the following: Within 24 hours (1 business day) of the event: Qwest will send or post to a web location, a preliminary OSS incident report. This report should contain the following information. Incident ID: Incident type: degradation OR outage; degradation AND outage Confirmed start date of the incident (incident is from the first alarm or report until the trouble is verified as cleared. Within an incident may be periods of degradation and periods of outage) Confirmed start time of the incident Confirmed identification of the functionality that was affected by the incident. For example, Order only or Pre-Order AVQ and CSI and Loop Qual. Confirmed end date of the incident Confirmed end time of the incident Total Minutes of Outage for this event: (outage as defined by performance measures) Total Minutes of Degradation for this event: Corrective Actions taken to clear the incident: Initial assessment of root cause: Within 7 business days of the event: Qwest will send a final OSS incident report. This report should contain the following information. Incident ID: Incident type: degradation OR outage; degradation AND outage Confirmed start date of the incident (incident is from the first alarm or report until the trouble is verified as cleared. Within an incident may be periods of degradation and periods of outage) Confirmed start time of the incident Confirmed identification of the functionality that was affected by the incident. For example, Order only, or Pre-Order AVQ and CSI and Loop Qual. Confirmed end date of the incident Confirmed end time of the incident Total Minutes of Outage for this event: (outage as defined by performance measures) Total Minutes of Degradation for this event: Corrective Actions taken to clear the incident: Final assessment of root cause: Actions taken to clear root cause: If the actions are future planned actions, like ‘new memory ordered and installation is planned for 10/29/03’ then a follow-up date must be indicated. Next follow-up Due Date: Qwest to provide updated status until the actions required to correct the root cause have been tested and implemented. Ideally, this information could be stored and sent or posted to a web location in a running Excel spreadsheet. If posted to a web location, the URL should be a consistent or ‘absolute’ URL and not a URL that changes. This will enable CLECs to easily develop scripts to download the file on a regular basis. In managing the availability of the components of our OSS systems, we have clearly identified the need to have specific incident data from all our OSS interfaces, both internal and external. We look forward to working with Qwest and the CLEC community to develop a standard process. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the requested pieces of information are for root cause analysis on OSS Systems Outages and that is a national request. Liz Balvin/MCI said that this request sounds like the Event Notification root cause analysis that is parallel to the document project plan. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would not be doing any that we would not consider as events. Connie stated that we would look at a delay in the FOC but not look at anything such as our system thresholds for example. Liz Balvin/MCI said that Qwest needs to notify the CLECs of scheduled maintenance. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we do notify of CLEC impacting maintenance that occurs during off-hours, she noted that we generally try to do maintenance during normal off-hours. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that you do not notify if maintenance is done off-hours and we would like to be more informed. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked wouldn’t the CLECs only want to be notified if it impacted them. Judy said that if the CLEC’s were impacted they would be notified. Liz Balvin/MCI said that the CMP Document says that you notify even when off-hours. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is not an outage. She explained that the purpose of off-hours is to perform maintenance to maintain the health of the system. She noted that if we patch anything that is CLEC impacting, regardless of if it’s during off-hours or scheduled maintenance, Qwest issues an event notification. Liz Balvin/MCI said that makes sense. The status of this CR will be changed to presented.

SCR111203-01-E22

March 22, 2004

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

Dear Ms. Osborne-Miller:

This letter is in response to your March 15, 2004 escalation regarding Qwest’s denial of SCR111203-01, Request for information regarding any unplanned outages”.

AT&T has requested that Qwest provide more detailed information and analysis of degradations and outages than what Qwest currently provides in the Production Support - Event Notifications. AT&T has also requested an OSS incident report or spreadsheet be created and provided via Qwest’s external Wholesale website. This report or spreadsheet would detail Qwest’s final assessment of root cause and the corrective actions taken to clear the incident.

In the original denial of this AT&T request, Qwest stated that a gateway availability Performance Indicator Definition (PID) exists which measures the quality of CLEC access to Qwest gateways and associated systems. Root-cause analysis, when appropriate, would be included with the information for this PID. Qwest’s performance results can be found at the Qwest Wholesale website at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/results/index.html.

Additionally, Qwest has improved the quality of unplanned outages information provided in the Event Notification process based on feedback provided by AT&T and other CLECs in the Qwest sponsored CLEC Documentation Forum.

AT&T’s escalation of Qwest’s denial states that; “While the collaborative work from the Documentation Forum has accomplished areas of improvement relative to the content of the event notification, AT&T believes that Qwest does not fulfill the requirement to provide to CLECs detailed root cause analysis of unplanned degradations/outages nor detailed final corrective actions taken as part of the root cause analysis.” AT&T also states it is not asking Qwest to divulge or compromise that which is proprietary to their (Qwest) systems.

Qwest understands and respects AT&T’s need to have reliable access to Qwest’s OSS interfaces for the purpose of transacting business. Qwest has numerous systems and business processes in place to ensure reliable access for AT&T and all CLECs. When an outage does occur, the event notification that is distributed provides the date and time of outage, and provides details of the known business impacts in addition to the resolution for the particular Production Support issue. Qwest does not believe that details of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on most of these outages would provide the CLECs any additional business value since these details may be specific to Qwest’s back-end systems which the CLECs do not directly access. Providing a Qwest RCA in these instances would provide little opportunity for the CLECs to make changes and/or perform RCA on their side to mitigate any outages in the future. Qwest is unaware of any requirement to provide detailed root cause analysis of unplanned outages as stated in the escalation language. In the February Monthly Systems CMP meeting, AT&T expressed a desire to hold a meeting to discuss how RCA could provide business value to AT&T, and Qwest agreed to arrange that meeting. Subsequently, this meeting was declined by AT&T.

Sincerely,

Connie Winston Director-Qwest Information Technologies

For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the February 2004 CMP Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Revised Response - SCR111203-01Request for information regarding any unplanned OSS Event Qwest experiences”

This request asks for an event notification to be sent or posted to a Web site that captures the items in the table below. Further, AT&T requests that Qwest send a follow-up report within seven (7) business days of the event that captures the items in the table presented in boldface.

Qwest is conducting its review and analysis of existing Web site functionality around event notification reporting.

Qwest maintains that: a.) all items indicated in the table are already captured in the event notification itself, or can be derived from the information currently provided in the event notification, b.) Qwest is providing all information required per the CMP process. Qwest maintains that the reporting is redundant to the information already provided in the event notifications themselves. In addition, the maintenance of the Web site with the information being requested above would require an additional resource commitment of 20 hrs/week. Qwest is therefore denying this change request based upon two factors. The information requested is duplicative to information already being provided and has no reasonable demonstrable business benefit.

Summary Comparison Table: AT&T Request against Qwest Event Notification Memo

AT&T Requests Qwest Response Incident ID: The Event Notification number and the Trouble Ticket number associated with the issue are identical. Already captured in the Event. Incident type: degradation OR outage ; degradation AND outage. This request is outside of the negotiated CMP requirements, and will require a revisitation of the agreement. Confirmed start date of the incident (incident is from the first alarm or report until the trouble is verified as cleared. Within an incident may be periods of degradation and periods of outage) The Event Notification captures the start date and time of the incident from the time when Qwest identifies the issue as multi-CLEC impacting. This is in compliance and consistent with the CMP requirements. Confirmed start time of the incident See above. Confirmed identification of the functionality that was affected by the incident. For example, Order only, or Pre-Order AVQ and CSI and Loop Qual. Qwest already captures this in the Event Notification in the Description of Trouble and the Business Impact. Confirmed end date of the incident The Event Notification captures the end date and time of the incident, after the resolution is implemented, tested, and the issue is confirmed resolved. When a targeted patch date changes, Qwest issues an update to its notifications informing the CLECs of the new date. Confirmed end time of the incident See above. Total Minutes of Outage for this event: (outage as defined by performance measures) This information can be derived from the information already provided on the Event Notification start date/time against end date/time. Total Minutes of Degradation for this event See above. Corrective Actions taken to clear the incident The Event Notification captures the resolution of the issue, and what steps Qwest or the CLEC took to resolve the issue. The language has been negotiated and agreed upon in the CMP forum. Initial assessment of root cause The Event Notification captures the root cause, when known, in terms that best summarize the root cause from the customer perspective in the Description of Trouble. In some cases, for additional clarification, the Business Impact is written to recap the root cause. Final assessment of root cause See above. Actions taken to clear root cause: If the actions are future planned actions, like ‘new memory ordered and installation is planned for 10/29/03’ then a follow-up date must be indicated. See above. Qwest notes that the Event Notifications remain open until the patch is implemented tested, and the issue is resolved. Only then does Qwest close the Event. Next Follow-Up Due Date: Qwest to provide updated status until the actions required to correct the root cause have been tested and implemented. Qwest maintains that this would require additional tracking and resources that do not constitute a reasonable demonstrable business benefit associated with the cost. Further, Qwest notes that the Event Notifications remain open until the patch is implemented tested, and the issue is resolved. Only then does Qwest close the Event.

When Qwest does not immediately have a resolution, it updates its notifications regularly based on severity (i.e., Severity 1 and Severity 2 tickets are updated every hour; Severity 3 and 4 tickets, every forty-eight hours).

Sincerely,

Connie Winston Director, Information Technology Qwest

Description Of Change

AT&T would like to invoke the use of the DI and SOE LSOG fields in order to provide OS/DA service to AT&T Special Needs customers. There are two fields that we believe may accomplish this: SOE and DI. The SOE identifies the type of service/equipment associated with the line in LIDB. The DI identifies for LIDB that the end user has a disability that requires special handling for OS/DA calls. We believe that these two fields will provide Qwest TOPS/OSPS centers the ability to recognize such a customer without the customer having to tell the operator of their disability and will rate the assisted call with DDD rates

7/22/04 Systems CMP Meeting

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T said that she understood from the meeting yesterday, that this CR was being crossed over from Systems to Product and Process. Donna stated that she had additional questions from the discussion yesterday associated with the OS/DA questionnaire. Donna wanted to know how they identify a special needs customer via the profile and wanted to know what to do if they acquire a new customer. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she was not familiar with all the rules. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she thought you used the NPA/NXX to designate the special needs customer. Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that she looked at the questionnaire and also had questions. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that we would schedule an adhoc meeting to address AT&T’s questions.

Judy Schultz/Qwest said that we may have to split this CR into a System and Product/Process CR. Judy stated that the request to have the operator stay on line until the call is completed would most likely be a process change. Connie Winston stated that the interface needs to change from ‘other’ to IMA Common. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if ‘other’ interface is really the operator platform. Connie Winston/Qwest said that if we set this up it would be IMA. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T also want the DDD call rated. Connie Winston/Qwest stated the rate is based on the code given to us. Liz Balvin/MCI said that the rate would be populated on the order via IMA.

- July 9, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Tom and Morgan, This email is a follow-up to the email that was sent to you on June 23, 2004. To date, Qwest still has not received any additional questions or comments from Cbeyond regarding the Denial of the 2 Systems CMP CRs specified in the June 23rd email. This leads Qwest to believe that Cbeyond is in agreement to close the 2 CRs. Please advise me no later than July 13, 2004 if you disagree and the CRs should not yet close. If you feel that there open issues, please forward them to me for resolution. If I do not receive your dissent to close, the 2 CRs will be closed on July 14, 2004. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

- June 23, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Tom and Morgan, This email is in reference to 2 Systems CMP CRs listed below: SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills SCR112003-04 Bill all UNEs These CRs were being addressed by Stephan Calhoun, whom I understand has left Cbeyond’s employment. These CRs were denied by Qwest in January 2004. Since that time Stephan had asked Qwest for some additional information, which was provided to him. During the April Systems CMP Meeting Stephan stated that he had additional questions for Qwest and would forward them to me for response. Qwest contacted Stephan numerous times in order to obtain his list of questions, with no response from him. At this time, Qwest would like to ask both of you if Cbeyond has additional questions regarding either of these denials. If you do, please forward them to me and we will be happy to address them. If Cbeyond has no additional questions, please advise if you agree that the CRs can be closed. A copy of the CRs are attached for your review. I appreciate your prompt response.

If there are, please forward them to me and we will be glad to research them. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

May 3, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Good Morning Stephan, This email is a follow-up to the discussion that took place at the April Systems CMP Meeting surrounding the CMP CRs listed below: SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills SCR112003-04 Bill all UNEs

During the discussion, you had additional questions regarding the denials for these CRs and it was asked if you could send those questions to me for investigation. I have not received those questions and want to make sure that you have my email address. The email address is Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com Upon receipt of your questions; we will investigate and then would like to schedule a meeting with you to talk about these CRs.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the additional information for the denial is included in the CR. Connie stated that it is a high level roll-up of the cost, which is the reason for denial. Connie stated that additional text was also included in the denial letters. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that they appreciate the additional detail. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest needs to make sure that when a denial takes place, that the CLECs understand how Qwest came up with economically infeasible. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that Qwest’s justification for not needing to provide the circuit ID on EDI bills is that the circuit ID is already on the CSR. Stephan stated that the CSR is not in the EDI format. Stephan stated that Qwest cannot make the justification because it is not in the same format as the bill. Stephan stated that he can see the argument if receives the ASCII bill but the CSR is not available in EDI format. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she does not understand the concern. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that the request is for EDI format. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that CRIS does not have the circuit ID but noted that Qwest does house the information somewhere. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that CRIS does have the circuit ID and he would get it if he received ASCII. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest was asked to provide additional information regarding the cost, which is what this discussion should be, and noted that the billing expert was not asked to join today’s call. Connie stated that a meeting would be scheduled to further discuss this. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest needs to look alternative solutions for EDI format to satisfy Cbeyonds business need. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that this is an EDI format issue vs. an ASCII format issue. Stephan asked why the CSR is updated if it is not part of the bill, it is a separate document. Stephan also asked why the service order systems need changes. Stephan asked that if the circuit IDs are changed in the billing systems, how can Qwest allow the circuit IDs to not match in ordering and billing. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the ordering system does link to the billing system. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked that Stephan Calhoun (Cbeyond) email his questions to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at Qwest. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond agreed to email the questions to Peggy and stated that during yesterday’s meeting, the CLECs were concerned that the Qwest billing systems do not reflect the ordering systems. Stephan stated that there could be a bigger problem that the other CR has uncovered, that the billing circuit ID is different than the circuit ID on the order. Stephan stated that the CLECs cannot audit for that. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would catch-up with what the discussion was in yesterday’s meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the next steps are that Cbeyond will email their questions to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at Qwest, and then a meeting will be scheduled with the Business and IT to discuss SCR112003-01 and SCR112003-04. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR remains open.

April 15, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Morgan, RE: SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills SCR112003-04 Bill All UNEs

Attached are current copies of your Systems CMP CR’s that contain the additional detail regarding the previous Denial’s. These CR’s will be discussed at the April Systems CMP Meeting if you have questions.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Cbeyond Communications was not present on the conference bridge. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is compiling the additional detail requested and would be providing a read-out to Cbeyond.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest believes that we are meeting our obligation to provide a complete bill based on the media options and selections a customer may choose to receive from Qwest. Qwest believes there are instances where we consider the CSR to be a part of the bill. Our access billing thru IABS and the Telcordia guidelines Qwest generally follows (e.g. Telcordia BOS - Billing Output Specifications) describe the CSR as a part of the bill. The Qwest customer may then select to receive the bill only, or to receive the Bill and CSR in the electronic format. The CRIS electronic format for Billmate/ASCII does provide CLECs with a bill and a CSR if requested through the bill profile tool. The EDI electronic format does not provide, at the industry level, CSR record formats to send CSR information. So if this media type is chosen, a customer may sometimes ask for the ASCII format for the CSR information. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if there were any questions. There were none. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the Action Item is now Closed.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest is working on the additional detail requested in regard to the denial. John stated that the denial letter would be appended to include the additional information. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he needs additional clarity around the cost. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest needs to look to see if there are other options for this request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking into that as well and stated that Qwest would meet with Cbeyond if there are other options. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond asked if Qwest gives thought to meeting regulatory commitments or obligations. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes, always. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that Qwest has stated that the CSR is not part of the bill and asked how Qwest view’s that as meeting their obligation to provide a bill. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that what is needed is deeper detail of the denial. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond asked what the timeframe was for the revised response. Connie Winston/Qwest stated will look to provide it by the end of the next week.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR is in Denied status due to economic infeasibility and noted that there is currently a means to determine the circuit ID. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that it is a separate document, a different set of documents. Stephan stated that there is 1 file per sub-account. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it is understood. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he would like a response on how Qwest justifies that the CSR is part of the bill when it is a separate document. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest does not consider the CSR to be part of the bill. Lynn stated that part of the denial decision was based on the fact that Qwest already provides the information being requested. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that the circuit ID is not on the bill and it is not in the same format. Liz Balvin/MCI stated the request is to expand the field and to not truncate the circuit ID. Liz stated that the CLECs cannot reconcile if the circuit ID truncates. Liz asked how expanding a field could cost $1M to Qwest. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this has been discussed as a community and stated that Qwest in many cases sends CLECs to many sources in order to reconcile a bill and stated that it is very difficult. Bonnie stated that the circuit ID for ordering and billing is problematic, it looks different ways in different Qwest systems and it is not consistent. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the CR is asking to mirror the Western region. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it is not a mystery that Qwest has 3 billing regions and systems. Lynn stated that the situation is that Qwest does not have all the money in order to do everything in all systems. Lynn stated that the systems are extremely big and coding is very large. Lynn stated that she also questioned the LOE and stated that the effort for this request is really that complex. Lynn stated that the denial is due to the complexity and cost. Lynn stated that Qwest makes improvements where we can but that sometimes the cost cannot be justified. Lynn asked if the CLECs are stating that the information is not currently available in order for them to bill their end user’s. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they need to validate their bills to ensure that they are billed correctly. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he wants the bill to have the complete circuit ID. Stephan stated that Qwest suggests that the complexity of expanding a field by 14 bytes is $900K because it is tied to other fields. Stephan stated that he wants Qwest to document what fields are impacted and where the information is found in other systems. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest’s position is that Qwest currently provides the correct circuit ID and asked if Qwest could change the format on the output record. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if Liz was asking for a new field. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest has the full circuit ID, it is sent on the LSR. Liz asked that it be mechanized and put on the CSR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest could look to see if there are any other solutions. Becky Quintana/Colorado PUC asked if the cost would decrease once the systems are consolidated. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond asked if the CR for the Eastern region would help. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the effort for that CR is very small, about 40 hours. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would take this back and see if there are other options and would provide a read-out at the February CMP Meeting. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he would like to see where Qwest provides the circuit ID. Stephan stated he believes that to be a manual process and would like to see how that it defined. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest will not provide proprietary information on how the Qwest systems operate but stated that may be able to do a hi-level walk through. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like included how Qwest validates that it is the accurate circuit. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he wants details of the dollar figure. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Qwest will provide more information but Qwest will not disclose items such as hourly rates of pay. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that they want to know what goes into the LOE, not the actual dollar amounts. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they need to understand what the programmers would be doing that would cost that much money. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the hi-level walk through should answer that question. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this had been discussed before and stated that the information should be part of the denial letter. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest has cut back on resources, has gone from 3 to 2 releases, so Qwest should have more time to accommodate changes. Liz stated that Qwest needs to do a better job in understanding the requests and looking at other options. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the CRs are for a specific request and stated that Qwest does look at other alternatives. Judy stated that Qwest needs to understand the CLECs business need. Judy stated that within the CRs, the CLECs need to describe their business need or the problem that needs to be solved, not just a proposed solution. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that maybe the business need question can be incorporated into the Clarification Calls. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest analysts do look at options and noted that Qwest has in the past asked if options are agreeable. Connie Winston/Qwest agreed and noted the CEMR request for 25-page threshold, as an example. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that we can all work together; the CLECs can better articulate their need and Qwest can attempt to better understand that need. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Cbeyond’s need is in the title of their CR. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that the circuit ID is not truncated on the FOC or when dealing with the billing rep’s. Stephan stated that the billing rep’s see the entire circuit ID. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the billing reps are probably looking at the CSR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest is inconsistent in their systems regarding the format of the circuit ID. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it causes manual intervention for the CLECs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the circuit ID inconsistency is a global problem. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this and SCR112003-04 are two denied CRs will not allow the CLECs to reconcile their bills. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond asked if these CRs would change from Denied status to Clarification status. Connie Winston/Qwest responded no, not until after clarification, then a determination would be made regarding the CR status. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he would proceed with the escalation process if these CRs drop-off. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the CRs would not drop-off. There were no additional comments or questions.

-- January 16, 2004 Email Sent to Morgan Halliday, Cbeyond: Morgan, Attached is a copy of your CMP CRs, SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills and SCR112003-04 Bill all UNEs. Within each document is Qwest's Response. The response is located in the Qwest Response Section of each CR. These CRs will be included in the January 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Distribution Package, Attachment G. If you have questions or comments in regard to these denial's, please send them to me in an email prior to next weeks meeting. This will allow us time to research your questions and provide you with a response, to your questions, at the January CMP Meeting. You can also bring questions or comments forward at that meeting. Thank You, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Tom Hyde/Cbeyond reviewed the CR description and stated that the request is for the Eastern and Central regions to mirror the Western region. Tom stated that he needs the complete circuit number on all bills. Tom noted that currently the circuit numbers are truncated or abbreviated on the bill.

- CLARIFICATION MEETING - December 4, 2003 ATTENDEES: Morgan Halliday/Cbeyond, Tom Hyde/Cbeyond, Steven Calhoun/Cbeyond, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Fred Howard/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Brenda Kerr/Qwest, Carrie Stirman/Qwest, Jeff Jones/Qwest REVIEW CR DESCRIPTION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR Description: The Central Service Order currently only passes 22 bytes of information for the circuit . This needs to be changed up to 36 bytes on the circuit ID as well as be able to print the 36 bytes of circuit information on the bill. Expected Deliverable is for Qwest to print complete circuit ID on the bill . IMPACTED INTERFACES: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest confirmed that the Interface to be Wholesale Billing. IMPACTED PRODUCTS: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked to confirm the products of EEL UNE-C and Loop Mux Combo. Morgan Halliday/Cbeyond stated that the request is for All Products where a circuit ID exceeds the current maximum field. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION: Morgan Halliday/Cbeyond stated that there is no consistency, the circuits can be truncated or abbreviated. Morgan stated that they are not getting a valid circuit ID so they cannot validate mechanically or manually. Morgan stated that they need to be able to view that circuit ID as it appears in Qwest's systems Brenda Kerr/Qwest asked for which bill media this request is for. Carl Sear/Qwest responded that it would be for all bill media. Morgan Halliday/Cbeyond agreed. John Gallegos/Qwest asked to confirm that this request is for all products. Morgan Halliday/Cbeyond stated that some products have a short enough circuit ID that matches the field length. Morgan stated that he is okay for the products to reflect All Products where a circuit ID exceeds the current max field. Steven Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that there is inconsistency between the regions. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that the Western region does not have the same problem. Morgan Halliday/Cbeyond stated that Eastern and Central regions have limited fields. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR would be presented at the December Systems CMP Meeting by Cbeyond.

CenturyLink Response

REVISED RESPONSE:

April 7, 2004

Morgan Halliday Cbeyond Communications

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request SCR112003-01, dated 11/20/03; titled: Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills.

CR Description: The Central Service Order currently only passes 22 bytes of information for the circuit. This needs to be changed up to 36 bytes on the circuit ID as well as be able to print the 36 bytes of circuit information on the bill.

History: A clarification meeting was held on December 4, 2003 with Cbeyond and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest clarified with Cbeyond this request is for all products where circuit ID exceeds the current maximum field. Qwest stated that this is not currently a problem in the Western region (WA, OR), but understand intermittently it can be in Central and Eastern depending on the length of the circuit ID.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR112003-01, Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. Qwest currently provides circuit ID on the CSR and the circuit ID can be determined by matching sub-account BTN’s from the bill to the CSR. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $900,000. Qwest believes that to implement such a change to Qwest systems would be cost prohibitive. Therefore, Qwest respectfully denies your request for SCR112003-01, Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills, due to economic infeasibility.

Requested Supplemental Information: Below is a high level itemization of the $900,000 LOE for this request. The complexity of the change is due to the re-architecting of the three Qwest billing environments. The re-architecting would include the changes necessary for the billing master files to accommodate the increase in Circuit ID length and updates to the service order posting data validation and business rule logic. The final step would be a conversion of the existing accounts to the new format and fields.

Summary of LOE: Billing Systems Changes: $212,645 Billing Service Order Changes: $198,406 Bill Format Changes: $35,802 CSR Updates: $87,286 Architecture: $365,861 TOTAL: $900,000

Sincerely, Qwest

Project Meetings

4/18/18 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR is a Deferred CR that we have been reviewing for several months. In previous meetings, we talked about reaching out to the CR originator multiple times over a 90 day timeline; if we received no response, we would move the CR to a Withdrawn status. Mark said we have sent emails to Cbeyond/Birch in January, February and March with no response received and then again on April 10, 2018. On the April date, we moved the CR to “Pending Withdrawal” status. Mark asked if there is a customer that would like to adopt this CR. There were no customers that chose to adopt this CR. He said this CR will be moved to a Withdrawn status on May 10, 2018.

3/21/18 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR is part of the effort to relook at Deferred CRs. It was opened back in 2003. CenturyLink has sent multiple requests to Cbeyond/Birch to determine if this CR is still required or if it can be moved to a Withdrawn status including the initial request sent on January 9, 2018, the second request sent on February 9, 2018, and the third request sent on March 12, 2018. Mark said if no response has been received from Cbeyond/Birch by April 9, 2018, CenturyLink will move this CR to a “Pending Withdrawal” status with the April CMP meeting.

Bonnie Johnson – MN DOC asked if customers could then adopt the CR when it is in “Pending Withdrawal” status if they so desire.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that is correct. It will be placed in that status for one month.

2/21/18 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that we will provide a status each month on this Deferred CR. In January, CenturyLink proposed and we reached agreement on an approach that we try contacting a company that has a Deferred CR for three months. If we try contacting them each month and receive no response, CenturyLink will automatically move that CR to a “Pending Withdrawal” status after the third month. If another company wants to adopt the CR, they can. CenturyLink sent an initial request on January 9, 2018 to Cbeyond/Birch to determine if this CR is still required. We sent a second request on February 9, 2018 to Cbeyond/Birch for their review. We will continue to follow-up on this one with Cbeyond/Birch as we agreed. Mark asked if there were any questions. There were none.

1/17/18 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that we are beginning to review the Deferred CRs and have started contacting the CR Originators on some of them to determine next steps. The idea is to hopefully move the CRs to a Withdrawn status if that makes sense. Mark then relayed the status of two CRs that we began with:

SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this is an old CR from Cbeyond that dates back to 2003. We sent an email to the CR Originator on January 9, 2018 and copied their Cbeyond Vendor Relations mailbox at the suggestion of our Service Management team. We are waiting to hear back. Mark said we would like to propose an approach that we try contacting a customer every month for three months. If we do not hear back from that customer in that three month timeframe, we would like to then move the CR to a Withdrawn status. For this CR, in 2013, we proposed some options to Cbeyond on how to handle this change and never heard back.

** Mark Coyne – CenturyLink then asked if those on the call were OK to use the approach that was suggested with the Cbeyond CR for the remaining Deferred CRs. The approach again was to contact the CR Originator and anyone else suggested by our Service Management team to determine if the CR is still valid. We would try for a three month period and then if no response from that customer, we would proceed with moving the CR through the Pending Withdrawal approach. Mark said he had not heard of any objections.

Kim Isaacs – Allstream said the approach was fine as long as another customer had the opportunity to adopt the CR if they wanted to.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said yes that was the case.

8/17/16 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that last month, Kim Isaacs - Electric Lightwave had questioned the CRs that are in Deferred status and what CenturyLink was doing with them. Mark said of the five CRs, two are MTG specific and we would not be looking at those CRs at this time. Of the remaining three CRs, SCR010213-1, SCR072613-1, and SCR112003-03, CenturyLink would be working with the CenturyLink SME teams to see if the functionality is being addressed as part of the planned consolidations before reaching out to the CR originators to determine next steps.

3/20/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that we are still working on contacting Cbeyond to consider the two recommendations. He said that we will reach out one more time to Cbeyond but would then likely move the CR to a Deferred status after a certain number of days if there is no response.

2/20/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that we are still working on contacting Cbeyond to consider the recommendations of either moving the CR back to Deferred status or moving the CR to a Pending Withdrawal status.

1/16/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that Cbeyond was not on the call and that we were contacting them to consider the recommendations we had made to either move the CR back to Deferred status or to move the CR to a Pending Withdrawal status if the approach with the Industry group is not going to be pursued.

12/12/12 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said an update was provided last month by Sue Kriebel from CenturyLink. Mark said that CenturyLink is recommending this CR be moved back to a Deferred status to allow action to be taken by the originator or to move the CR to a Pending Withdrawal status if this action is not going to be pursued. CBeyond was the originator of the CR and CenturyLink would be contacting them to determine next steps.

11/14/12 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR was on the Deferred list and that the CLECs identified they wanted to move forward with it. It had been discussed last month and CenturyLink SMEs had continued to investigate it.

Sue Kriebel – CenturyLink said the SME team had found that there was an OBF Issue 1655 regarding providing additional CSR data in an EDI format; the issue is available on the ATIS/OBF site. Sue said the issue was opened and some work completed toward mapping access records into EDI records however the issue was resolved without implementation. Sue read the following resolution to the ATIS/OBF issue:

The Issue Champions no longer have a need to create and maintain additional formats for the billing of access and interconnection services. Billing for all access and interconnection services is accommodated in the two industry recognized billing formats: Carrier Access Billing System (CABS) Guidelines and Small Exchange Carrier Access Billing (SECAB) guidelines. The Issue Champions withdraw the issue.

Sue said based on this response, the CenturyLink recommendation is that if CLECs would like to move forward with this CR, that they bring this issue up at the industry level to develop industry standards for these records.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink asked if there were any additional questions. There were none.

10/17/12 Systems CMP Meeting Wendy Thurnau – CenturyLink provided an update on this CR that was previously in Deferred status. Wendy said this was an old CR so she first needs to confirm what system changes have occurred in the billing area since the CR was last reviewed. Wendy said she plans to provide an update in the November CMP meeting to say what media options are available today and what data is available within each one.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said she thought the CR was to not require customers to get multiple media bill options but to have all of the data on one set of media. Wendy Thurnau – CenturyLink said though we would like to have one media option, we are trying to determine if that is feasible based on cost. Wendy said EDI would need to be evaluated in regard to industry standards. She said we need to do an evaluation of what is available today and then see if it is possible to make the data available all in one place.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said if we have the information sooner than the November meeting, an ad hoc call will be scheduled.

08/15/12 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that a Deferred List was included and that the two CRs on the list, SCR063003-02 and SCR112003-03, would be moved to Evaluation status.

7/22/04 No response from Cbeyond for additional meeting. This CR will be placed in a deferred status.

6/11/04

Requested an additional clarification meeting with Cbeyond. This CR will be changed to a deferred status.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Tom Hyde/Cbeyond Communications reviewed this CR and said that this is an auditing request and that they would like complete audible data. Tom stated that the data needs to be transported to the CRIS bill. Liz Balvin/MCI stated Qwest provides in Qwest BOS format that mirrors the customer service information in UNE-P and UBL. Steve Kast/Qwest stated that if the data is not there, it won’t populate. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we provide in the MONSERV file. Kerri Waldner/Qwest stated that it does not come through CABS. Tom Hyde/Cbeyond Communications said that they need the class of service, USOCs and quantity and that they have no problem with IABS and the BOS/CRIS format. Tom stated that with CRIS they can’t tell whether the billing is valid and that the information in its present format is inadequate. He said that they want to be able to audit bills electronically, is a very manual process to audit.

April 10, 2018

Greg Darnell and Birch Vendor Relations,

Attached is the most current version of your CR. Following multiple attempts to contact you in regard to the status of this CR SCR112003-03, CSR Data on Bill, CenturyLink has moved this CR to Pending Withdrawal as of today.

During a discussion in the January 2018 monthly CMP meeting, the CMP call participants agreed upon a template approach on how to proceed with Deferred CRs where CenturyLink has not heard back from the originating company. (See the January 2018 Project Meetings section of the attached CR for more details.) We have attempted to follow-up with you on this CR on January 9, 2018, February 9, 2018, and March 12, 2018.

In the upcoming monthly CMP meeting on April 18, 2018 available at http://wholesalecalendar.centurylinkapps.com/detail/670/2018-04-18, another customer may decide to adopt this CR and become the sponsor. Otherwise effective on May 10, 2018, this CR will be moved to a Withdrawn status.

If we should be working with someone else within Birch/Cbeyond to give us direction on this CR, please let us know.

Thank you, Susan Lorence CenturyLink Wholesale CMP Project Manager 402 998-7018

July 15, 2004 No dissent to close received, CR Closed in Denied Status.

-- July 9, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Tom and Morgan, This email is a follow-up to the email that was sent to you on June 23, 2004. To date, Qwest still has not received any additional questions or comments from Cbeyond regarding the Denial of the 2 Systems CMP CRs specified in the June 23rd email. This leads Qwest to believe that Cbeyond is in agreement to close the 2 CRs. Please advise me no later than July 13, 2004 if you disagree and the CRs should not yet close. If you feel that there open issues, please forward them to me for resolution. If I do not receive your dissent to close, the 2 CRs will be closed on July 14, 2004. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

-- June 23, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Tom and Morgan, This email is in reference to 2 Systems CMP CRs listed below: SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills SCR112003-04 Bill all UNEs These CRs were being addressed by Stephan Calhoun, whom I understand has left Cbeyond’s employment. These CRs were denied by Qwest in January 2004. Since that time Stephan had asked Qwest for some additional information, which was provided to him. During the April Systems CMP Meeting Stephan stated that he had additional questions for Qwest and would forward them to me for response. Qwest contacted Stephan numerous times in order to obtain his list of questions, with no response from him. At this time, Qwest would like to ask both of you if Cbeyond has additional questions regarding either of these denials. If you do, please forward them to me and we will be happy to address them. If Cbeyond has no additional questions, please advise if you agree that the CRs can be closed. A copy of the CRs are attached for your review. I appreciate your prompt response. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

6/17/04 Systems CMP Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has attempted to contact Cbeyond to discuss this CR and have not been successful. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that Qwest has escalated to Cbeyond’s Service Management Team.

5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are still trying to contact Cbeyond to get their list of questions.

4/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the additional information for the denial is included in the CR. Connie stated that it is a high level roll-up of the cost, which is the reason for denial. Connie stated that additional text was also included in the denial letters. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that they appreciate the additional detail. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest needs to make sure that when a denial takes place, that the CLECs understand how Qwest came up with economically infeasible. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that Qwest’s justification for not needing to provide the circuit ID on EDI bills is that the circuit ID is already on the CSR. Stephan stated that the CSR is not in the EDI format. Stephan stated that Qwest cannot make the justification because it is not in the same format as the bill. Stephan stated that he can see the argument if receives the ASCII bill but the CSR is not available in EDI format. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she does not understand the concern. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that the request is for EDI format. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that CRIS does not have the circuit ID but noted that Qwest does house the information somewhere. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that CRIS does have the circuit ID and he would get it if he received ASCII. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest was asked to provide additional information regarding the cost, which is what this discussion should be, and noted that the billing expert was not asked to join today’s call. Connie stated that a meeting would be scheduled to further discuss this. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest needs to look alternative solutions for EDI format to satisfy Cbeyonds business need. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that this is an EDI format issue vs. an ASCII format issue. Stephan asked why the CSR is updated if it is not part of the bill, it is a separate document. Stephan also asked why the service order systems need changes. Stephan asked that if the circuit IDs are changed in the billing systems, how can Qwest allow the circuit IDs to not match in ordering and billing. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the ordering system does link to the billing system. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked that Stephan Calhoun (Cbeyond) email his questions to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at Qwest. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond agreed to email the questions to Peggy and stated that during yesterday’s meeting, the CLECs were concerned that the Qwest billing systems do not reflect the ordering systems. Stephan stated that there could be a bigger problem that the other CR has uncovered, that the billing circuit ID is different than the circuit ID on the order. Stephan stated that the CLECs cannot audit for that. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would catch-up with what the discussion was in yesterday’s meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the next steps are that Cbeyond will email their questions to Peggy Esquibel-Reed at Qwest, and then a meeting will be scheduled with the Business and IT to discuss SCR112003-01 and SCR112003-04. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR remains open.

May 3, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Good Morning Stephan, This email is a follow-up to the discussion that took place at the April Systems CMP Meeting surrounding the CMP CRs listed below: SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills SCR112003-04 Bill all UNEs

During the discussion, you had additional questions regarding the denials for these CRs and it was asked if you could send those questions to me for investigation. I have not received those questions and want to make sure that you have my email address. The email address is Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com Upon receipt of your questions; we will investigate and then would like to schedule a meeting with you to talk about these CRs.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

Morgan Halliday Cbeyond Communications

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR112003-04, dated 11/20/03, titled: Bill all UNEs.

CR Description: UNE combinations inappropriately billed in CRIS. Move UNE Combo billing from CRIS to IABS with CSR data populated.

History: A clarification meeting was held on December 4, 2003 with Cbeyond and Qwest representation. At this meeting the request was reviewed and no further questions were required.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR112003-04, Bill all UNEs, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. This change would require system re-architecture not only to the billing system but to Qwest’s front end systems as well. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $17 million. Qwest believes that to implement such a change to Qwest systems would be cost prohibitive. However, Qwest currently provides billing of UNEs from CRIS and offers the IABS-BOS format of the bill and CSR. Qwest is denying your request for SCR112003-04, Bill all UNEs, due to economic infeasibility.

Requested Qwest Supplemental Information Below is a high level itemization of the $17,000,000.00 LOE for this request. The complexity and cost for this request spans the entire LSR system flow. IMA would need to be enhanced to retrieve, parse and display an IABS CSR. IMA and downstream OSS edits and business rules would need to be reviewed and modified as appropriate. The logic in the Service Order Processors would have to be revised to allow for distribution to the appropriate billing systems. The billing environments would have to be enhanced to allow for customers to migrate between resale (CRIS) and UNE (IABS). An extensive conversion process would have to be run to move the current UNE accounts from CRIS to IABS, as well as caring for the in flight service orders in the service order processors. This would also necessitate modification of the business procedures and documentation and the retraining of business personnel.

Summary of LOE Billing Systems Changes $9,646,911.00 Ordering Systems Changes $2,958,386.00 Architecture $836,066.00 Business Process Changes $1,800,755.00 Invoice System Changes $493,065.00 Message Distribution Changes $1,264,817.00 TOTAL $17,000,000.00

3/18/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Cbeyond Communications was not present on the conference bridge. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is compiling the additional detail requested and would be providing a read-out to Cbeyond.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest is working on the additional detail requested in regard to the denial. John stated that the denial letter would be appended to include the additional information. John also stated that the BOSS output today does not include EEL, Loop MUX Combo products. John also requested that Stephan send examples of what they want to see with this request. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he would send examples. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he was looking for detail on the denial and asked when he would receive a response. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that a response would be sent by March 3, 2004.

1/22/04 CMP systems meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR is Denied based on economic infeasibility. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that the title should say ‘in IABS’ and stated that he wants all information on 1 bill. Stephan stated that the IABS bill does include the CSR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that UNE-P and UBL are in CABS BOS format but that it does no good if they are limited in pulling information from CRIS. Liz stated that they need all products in CABS BOS format. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that he felt that the $17M LOE appears to be a little steep and would like to understand how Qwest arrived at this figure. Stephan stated that he believed that a new system could be implemented for that amount. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that CABS was implemented for Access and in reality we are looking at hundreds of millions of dollars and not just the $17M. Lynn stated that the analysis done includes implementation, transition and maintenance costs. Lynn stated that UNE-P and UBL is work out of CRIS and not billed out of IABS. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Qwest validates the bill prior to sending to the CLECs. Liz said that Qwest needs to be able to figure out what is billed is what was ordered and that the CLECs need visibility to that. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond stated that there is a distinction in the description of the CR and what Liz Balvin/MCI is saying. Steve said that if in the clarification call Cbeyond heard that there were two different paths, they might have taken a different direction. Stephan asked for clarification on whether the information from CRIS is separate. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that if you are looking at producing a BOS format for Loop MUX combo, that is an option. Lynn stated that we need to understand what information Cbeyond needs besides the CSR Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond said that they can work through the details but needs to be able to understand what information is coming through. Stephan stated that the EDI version of the CRIS bill does not reflect everything on the CRIS bill. Stephan said that he needs to understand how it would change and what they would see before he could answer that question. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that we need to schedule another clarification call. Judy said that we need to understand the gaps between what you need and what you are receiving. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond asked if CRIS and the CSR are separate. Connie Winston/Qwest said that CRIS produces the CSR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there might not be a one for one match on fields. Stephan Calhoun/Cbeyond asked if Cbeyond should wait for Qwest to schedule the clarification call and should he send examples. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that any information they could provide prior to the call would be very helpful and that Lynn Stecklein (Qwest) would schedule the call. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she will take this information back to MCI and will also look for UBL examples. Judy Schultz/Qwest said that if the CLECs could provide specific examples and information concerning what they are looking for it would be very helpful in the analysis. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the clarification call will be scheduled with Cbeyond and that Cbeyond can invite the other CLECs.

January 16, 2004 Email Sent to Morgan Halliday, Cbeyond: Morgan, Attached is a copy of your CMP CRs, SCR112003-01 Correct Circuit ID Field on CRIS Bills and SCR112003-04 Bill all UNEs.

These CRs will be included in the January 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Distribution Package, Attachment G. If you have questions or comments in regard to these denial's, please send them to me in an email prior to next weeks meeting. This will allow us time to research your questions and provide you with a response, to your questions, at the January CMP Meeting. You can also bring questions or comments forward at that meeting.

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Cbeyond has withdrawn this request. This CR moves into Withdrawal Status.

- February 19, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Stephan, Thank you for the info. I will place SCR112003-02 in Pending Withdrawal Status for formal withdrawal at the March Systems CMP Meeting. CR's do need to be withdrawn at a CMP Meeting in order to provide another CLEC, or Qwest, the opportunity to pick-up sponsorship if they so choose.

Thanks again, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- February 19, 2004 Email Received from Cbeyond: Peggy, I spoke to my techies after today's call and they have now confirmed that the placement of the circuit id within the OCC section of Qwest's billing file was a mapping issue on our side, not Qwest's. They have this correction scheduled for their next release. I apologize for not getting this response prior to today's call.

That said, I'm open to withdrawing the CR. I'm not sure how the CLEC community would feel about this - so I'm not sure if we need to wait until the next CMP meeting or not. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks, Stephan

- February 11, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Good Afternoon Stephan, Have you had the opportunity to look at the file that I sent you the end of January? It was for SCR112003-02, not SCR112003-01. Does the data in the file satisfy Cbeyond that the circuit ID is sent correctly? I believe on one of the calls you indicated that Cbeyond would withdraw the CR if Qwest could show that the circuit ID is being sent correctly. Are you at the point to withdraw the SCR112003-02 (Identify CRIS sub-accounts by Circuit Number)? Please advise. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

January 29, 2004 Email sent to Stephan Calhoun, Cbeyond: Stephan, Attached is a file which is a snap shot of a sub account 3032206142330, under the master account 3031112649208. This file reflects how the circuit ID is sent via EDI. It does not appear that the circuit ID's are being truncated. Please let me know if you need additional information. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- January 23, 2004 Qwest-Cbeyond Conference Call: ATTENDEES: Morgan Halliday-Cbeyond, Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Sue Kriebel-Qwest, Brenda Kerr-Qwest, Carrie Stirman-Qwest DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss the functionality that is still needed for this change request. Peggy stated that Cbeyond feels that some of the original functionality requested has been implemented. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond stated that the original request was for Cbeyond to provide examples, to Qwest, of what was needed for this request. Stephan stated that the original request was for the bill detail, Qwest would populate a cross-reference table on the front page of the bill with the circuit ID. Stephan stated that the bill detail, with charges, only has sub-account information without a circuit ID. Stephan stated that in December 2003, or sooner, he discovered that the circuit ID does now appear at the detail level. Stephan asked how it flows thru on the EDI bill. Stephan stated that what appears to be occurring on the EDI bill, on the monthly recurring charges or changes causing an OC&C, that there is something populated but it is not the circuit ID. Stephan stated that it could be part of a circuit ID, only some of the numbers. Stephan stated that for example, on a circuit ID of 29.HTFS.123456, what is being populated is the 123456 piece. Stephan stated that Cbeyond needs to know what populates on the EDI bill, the circuit ID field, on the OCC 811 records for EDI. Stephan stated that the MRC 811 is populated correctly and the OCC 811 is populated but that it does not match. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked if they are seeing this in all 3 regions. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond stated that they do business only in the state of Colorado, Central region. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked to confirm that the circuit ID is being truncated to 6 character/numbers. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest would validate that. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond stated that he did not know if what they are seeing is due to a load error on the Cbeyond side and stated that if Qwest can show that is a full circuit ID, they would change their loader. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked Cbeyond for a summary account number, to validate. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond provided the summary account number of their live account. Carrie Stirman-Qwest asked to confirm that the paper bill is okay, it is the EDI bill that is not. Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond confirmed that Carrie’s statement was correct and stated that the circuit ID being populated is in the header of the bill, not in the bill detail of the sub-account. John Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest understands what needs to be validated Stephan Calhoun-Cbeyond requested that the findings include a snapshot of the sub-account with the OCC activity showing the populated field.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Cbeyond has requested an additional Clarification Call in order to discuss functionality they believe has already been implemented and discuss what is left to do for this CR. Peggy stated that the call is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning. This Action Item is closed. The CR remains open.

-- January 19, 2004 Email Sent to Cbeyond: Good Morning Morgan, I have scheduled a follow-up Clarification Call, per your request, to discuss your CR to Identify CRIS Sub-Accounts by Circuit Number. In our conversation last week, you stated that part of your request has been implemented and you would like to discuss what work is left to be done for this CR. Part of the discussion will also be to determine if the CR should be revised or if it makes better sense to withdraw and resubmit.

-- January 16, 2004: Morgan Halliday requested that an additional Clarification Call be scheduled in order to discuss this CR. Morgan stated that he believes that Qwest has partially implemented this request, making the requested examples obsolete. Cbeyond has asked for this call to discuss what is now needed on this CR. Part of the call will be to determine if this CR should be revised or if a withdrawal and submission of a new CR is warranted. Morgan requested that the call be scheduled for mid next-week, or later.

-- January 13, 2004 Email Sent to Morgan halliday, Cbeyond: Good Afternoon Morgan, Will you provide me with a status to the below emailed request, sent December 30th? The CR is in evaluation status and Qwest would like the examples in order to investigate and determine what is needed in order to proceed. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com

December 30, 2003 Email Sent to Morgan Halliday-Cbeyond: Good Morning Morgan, This email is in regard to your submitted CMP CR, SCR112003-02 Identify CRIS sub-accounts by circuit number. During the clarification call, held on December 4th, Cbeyond agreed to provide Qwest with some examples. I have not yet received them. If you have sent them could you please resend them to me? I don't know what happened. If you have not yet sent them, can you please send them ASAP. We would like to look at those examples, do some research, and determine what the next step should be. I appreciate it. I will give you my email address and fax number, either will work. If you choose to fax the examples, please let me know so I can go retrieve them.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that this CR requested additional fields be added to the electronic DL verification report. Lee stated that it is currently in comma-delimited format and looking to make it a fixed field format. Lee stated that the field length might be 2,000 + characters long and asked the CLECs if they would have a capacity issue. Lee asked if it would be better to stay with a comma-delimited field and add new fields. Nancy Sanders/Comcast asked what fields would be available. Nancy stated that she would need to discuss this internally but noted that comma delimited works for AT&T today. Nancy stated that it is important that AT&T sees new fields. Lee Gomez/Qwest said that she did not have a list in front of her but would include any fields on the form. Lee stated that she would provide a list of all fields to the CLECs. Nancy Sanders/Comcast stated that she would share the list internally and provide the information back to Qwest. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that all the CLECs could respond. Lee Gomez/Qwest asked if the decision is for the comma-delimited format. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it sounds like the way to go.

2/6/04 E-mail sent to the CLEC Community

The purpose of this notification is to provide information that was requested in the January CMP Systems Meeting associated with SCR051503-01 (Add additional fields to the electronic DL Verification Report). During the meeting Qwest provided an update on the new fixed field format. Qwest stated that this CR requested additional fields be added to the electronic DL verification report. Qwest also stated that it is currently in comma-delimited format and that we are looking to make it a fixed field format. The field length might be 2,000 + characters long and Qwest asked the CLECs if they would have a capacity issue. The CLECs stated that they would need to discuss this internally and asked if Qwest could provide a list of the fields. You will find a list of those fields and a current copy of the change request attached for your review.

SCR051503-01 Determine solution (option 1/40/80 hours, option 2/ 100/200 hours, option 3 100-200 hours) (SCR051503-01 Additional fields to DL Verification Report) Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that there had been an Ad-Hoc call with the CLEC Community on this CR and that AT&T and Qwest wanted to make sure that all CLECs understood this CR. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the major change was from a common delineated file to a fixed link format file. She reviewed what that would look like. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if they wanted to make sure that everyone else was ok with this. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the LOE would not change, and the timeframe would be around IMA 15.0 Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that because this was not part of IMA, could it be implemented sooner. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that she would talk to the SMEs about scheduling and report back. Connie Winston/Qwest noted that the IMA December release has the listing resources booked. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that she understood, but that they would like the change implemented as soon as possible.

July 11, 2003 Ad-Hoc Call

Meeting attendees: Sharon Van Meter-AT&T, Missy Woods- Comcast, Lane Jones-Qwest, Lee Gomez-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest, Kim Issack-Eschelon, Stephanie Prull-McLeod USA.

Nolan-Qwest welcomed the attendees and stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss the change with the CLEC Community beucase of it's impact to the Electronic Verification Proof. She then asked Gomez-Qwest to discuss the changes.

Gomez-Qwest stated that one of the major changes was from a comma delinated format to a fixed field format. She stated that Qwest would also be adding the additional fields that are supplied back to the CLECs. She stated that AT&T had requested certain fields and that through enhancements to the DLIS system, Qwest was able to provide additional fields back to the CLECs. She stated that the reformated file would be easier to reconcile with the fixed field. Van Meter-AT&T stated that all the information is provided in the CR. Woods-Comcast asked if the information was in a fixed format could it be viewed in excell. Gomez-Qwest stated that it could.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concerns. She stated that the CR would be discussed in the July CMP Meeting and would receive feedback from other CLECs. She also noted that the LOE was the same for this CR, 100-200 hours.

July 1, 2003 Additional CLEC Call

Meeting attendees: Sharon Van Meter-AT&T, Missy Woods- Comcast, Shonna Pashionic-Qwest, Lane Jones-Qwest, Lee Gomez-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Nolan-Qwest stated that when Qwest was looking at the CR submitted by AT&T they noticed determined that it would be helpful to add some additional fields. She stated that Lee Gomez-Qwest would explain. Gomez-Qwest discussed the parsed OBF field format. Today we send out in a comma delinated file, but think that it would be easier to send out in a fixed format. Gave the example of the name. Reviewed how it would work if it was not a fixed format. She explanined that the fix format would make the same information apear in each row and column. She stated that this would be the case if there was information in there or not. Jones-Qwest asked if change to this CR would also give the CLECs more information. Gomez-Qwest stated that this would be all the information that the CLECs send Qwest then it would be sent back to the CLEC. Wood- What would the LOE be for the comma delinated vs. fixed format. Gomez- Fixed format is easier to program to and would be the same LOE, 100-200 hours. Van Meter- Need to have an ad-hoc call with the CLECs since this would effect. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would send availability to Wood and Van Meter and then a 5 day notification to the CLEC Community.

RE: SCR051503-01 Add additional fields to the electronic DL Verification Report

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR051503-01). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held May 28, 2003) Qwest is able to provide two estimated Level of Effort (LOE) for this Directory Listings Change Request. The LOE for the addition of List Listed Name - separated into LastName, FirstName, Title of Address, Title of Lineage, DES (Designation) and NICK (Nickname), List Address - separated into SANO, SASF, SASD, SASN, SASS, City, State, FLOOR, BLDG (Building), and Service Address - separated into SANO, SASF, SASD, SASN, SASS, City, STate, LD1, LV1, LD2, LV2, LD3 (Location Designator 3), LV3 (Location Value3) would be 40-80 hours for this change. The LOE for the rewrite of the Electronic VP is 100-200 hours.

At the June Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request. The participants will also be asked to determine which solution they would like to move forward with for this change.

Sincerely, Qwest

John Berard (Covad) stated that UNE and Loop could be removed from the CR. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated the CLECs are on the line to increase the products if there is a need. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that the products could be extended to any service once the order has been placed, thru the provisioning process. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) stated that the second criteria, for MLT, is connectivity to a Qwest switch. Barbara stated that the line needs to be connected to a Qwest switch in order for MLT to be provided. Barbara stated that line splitting is not on Qwest’s switch. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated it comes out of the Qwest switch. Mike stated that is only for products that utilize the Qwest switch. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) asked if Covad was looking to have MLT done as a matter of course as part of the provisioning process or on an individual case basis. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that what Covad is looking for is that once the LSR is submitted and accepted, Covad should be able to request the MLT. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that the CLECs want access to MLT, is asking for MLT capabilities at the point in time that Qwest gets an accurate LSR. Mike Zulevic (Covad) further stated, even if the order has not yet completed. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that if Covad doesn’t mind, Eschelon would like to add UNE-P and Resale to the impacted products.

Barbara Brohl (Qwest) asked to confirm that the originators would have access to IMA and to CEMR. Jamal Boudhaouia (Qwest) responded yes, the provisioning groups would have access to both IMA and CEMR. Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that as soon as Qwest acknowledges receipt of an accurate LSR, once the FOC is sent, the CLECs want access to MLT. Jamal Boudhaouia (Qwest) asked for line splitting, which is the responsible CLEC? Mike Zulevic (Covad) stated that it is Qwest’s position that the customer of record, the voice provider, would have the MLT access. Mike stated that the customer of recorder could be another company, vendor, or CLEC and that it is transparent to Qwest. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: This Cr to be presented at the July Systems CMP Meeting. The call was ended.

- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mike Zulevic/Covad presented the CR and stated that the CLECs need the best available information possible before a firm commitment is made to their customer. Mike stated that Covad considers the customer to be their’s once they get the request from the customer. Mike stated that they need access to MLT at that point. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked to confirm that once Covad gets an LSR ID, Covad considers it to be Covad owned and at that point is when you want MLT access. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated yes. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if this was for the purpose of the CLEC completing their provisioning. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that it gives the CLEC another opportunity to look at the loop. There were no additional questions or comments.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting John Berard/Covad stated that Qwest held a meeting with Covad and explained that the Line Loss report for line and loop splitting is provided today to the CLEC of Record. John stated that he would like to withdraw this request.

9/4/03 Adhoc call with Covad

Attendees: John Berard/Covad, Crystal Soderlund/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Joan Pfeffer/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that the purpose of this call was to provide a status/update on this request since Covad was not able to attend the monthly CMP systems meeting. She stated that there we wanted to let Covad know that we already provide the Line Loss report for Line & Loop Splitting to the CLEC of record.

Crystal Soderlund/Qwest further explained this existing process. John Berard/Qwest asked if this was considered a feature on the line and Crystal said no. Crystal also stated that we would never send this information to the DLEC of record. Qwest has always maintained that the customer of record for line splitting is only the UNE-P provider, and our customer for Loop Splitting is only the Unbundled Loop Provider. In the case of Line Splitting and Loop Splitting, our customer of record has a sub-contract with their DLEC provider, and Qwest has maintained that we will not involve ourselves with this agreement.

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that Covad could find additional information on this subject in the PCAT. Lynn also asked if Covad would be willing to withdraw this CR.

John Berard/Covad stated that he would like to withdraw this request.

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that we would discuss this CR in the September CMP meeting as pending withdrawal.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

John Berard/Covad reviewed the request. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if Covad wanted a separate report to go to each owner. John Berard/Covad stated that they definitely want the report to go to each owner. Connie Winston/Qwest noted that this request is under Evaluation and that the LOE will provided next month.

9-19-03 John Berard agreed to withdraw this CR as SCR061703-03IG has an implementation date of 06-2004.

-- September 11, 2003 Email Sent to John Berard/Covad: John, Per our discussion today SCR061703-03IG encompasses the portion of the USOC work that would be required by your request. Your CR PC051403-2 Adding zone information to Bills, can be withdrawn. I will ask Cindy Macy the CRPM for this CR to place your request in pending withdrawal to be discussed at the September 17th meeting. I understand that your questions regarding zone information were resolved through discussions with Qwest SME’s If you have questions or comments give me a call. Kit Thomte 303 896-6776

September 18, 2003 Product/Process Meeting Minutes: Terri Kilker-Qwest advised we have worked with Covad to review the additional products and determined those products are not zone billed so zone information would not be shown on the bills. The outstanding problem on this CR regarding non-recurring USOC charges in Western and Eschelon’s CR opened in August of 2000 was reviewed. It was determined that systems CR SCR061703-03IG will take care of this problem. John would like to know the implementation date of the SCR061703-03IG. John didn’t want to combine this request with the other request if it would increase the delivery timeframe.

PURPOSE

At the July CMP Meeting, participants agreed to hold a conference call and include CLEC technical experts for a discussion about products beyond UNE-P CLECs desire rate zone and USOC information. The following is the write-up of the discussions, action items, and decisions made in the working session.

List of Attendees: Mike Olser - Covad Candy Davis - Covad John Berard - Covad Lori Mendoza - Allegiance Liz Balvin - MCI Stephanie Prull - McLeod USA Terri Kilker Qwest Crystal Soderlund - Qwest Carl Sear - Qwest

MEETING MINUTES

The meeting began with Qwest making introductions and welcoming all attendees.

Linda Sanchez-Steinke with Qwest provided brief history of the change request and said that Qwest arranged this meeting to discuss what products CLECs desire rate zone and USOC information in their bill. John Berard with Covad said that Covad had found when performing bill reconciliation they are not getting all zone information they need to receive. Candy Davis with Covad said that some states, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oregon are missing the zone on the spreadsheet provided. Carl said that he had investigated the rate zone examples and determined they were Line Sharing examples. Crystal Soderlund with Qwest said that Line Sharing is billed at a flat rate and not rate zoned. There are missing USOCs for non-recurring charges in the western region. Carl is investigating the missing USOCs.

To clear up confusion about why some accounts have USOCs and some don’t, Crystal explained that BANs for unbundled loop and line sharing were sometimes combined due to the initial implementation timeframes required for the product. As Qwest finds these BANs they are separated and currently the products are billing on separate BANs.

Candy asked if it would be accurate to say they can get USOC and zone information on electronic as well as paper bills. Carl said yes USOC and rate zone information is provided in both formats and that line sharing is not billed by rate zone but is a flat rated charge. Carl asked if Covad gets EDI or ASCII. Candy answered they receive BOS BDT. Carl will ask the BOS BDT SME if USOCs appear on those bills.

Terri asked that Covad provide examples where they are not getting rate zone and USOC information on other UNE products beside line sharing and Qwest will investigate.

Qwest asked if there were any additional comments. No comments were made.

CMp Meeting 07-16-03

Kilker-Qwest presented the response. She stated that Qwest needed more information from Covad because the product list in the CR description did not include many of the products in the example file Covad provided. Berard-Covad stated that he would send White a comprehensive list of all products Covad wanted this change to apply to. White-Qwest stated that there was an Ad Hoc Meeting scheduled for 7/24 to discuss this change.

DRAFT RESPONSE For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the August 20, 2003 CMP Meeting

John Berard, Covad

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR # PC051403-2 (Adding Zone Information to Bills)

Qwest amends its earlier acceptance of this change request to now include Unbundled Loop products in addition to UNE-P, based on an Ad-Hoc meeting held on July 25, 2003 with Covad and other interested CLECs.

To briefly recap the events of the meeting, Covad provided a list of additional products for which they were requesting zone and USOC billing detail, in along with the UNE-P products in their original request. The additional products identified were Unbundled Loop (2-Wire Non-Loaded Loop, ISDN Compatible Loop, 2-Wire Digital Loop, ISDN Basic Rate Loop, 2-Wire ADSL) and Shared Loop (Line Sharing.)

In addition to the request for zone and USOC billing detail on the Unbundled Loop and Shared Loop products, Covad clarified that they believe they are currently missing zone or USOC information on some of their Unbundled Loop billing.

Qwest informed Covad and the other CLECs in attendance that Shared Loop (Line Sharing) is not billed based on zones, therefore, zone information cannot be provided. The CLEC representatives in attendance expressed their understanding with Qwest’s position on this issue.

After the meeting concluded, Qwest reviewed additional examples of Unbundled Loop bills that Covad maintained were missing zone or USOC information. As a result of this investigation, Qwest did uncover a condition restricted to the Western region where the English description and rate for any nonrecurring USOC appears on the bill, but the USOC does not appear. Trouble ticket number 197112 has been issued on the condition, and as of this date is pending investigation.

Sincerely,

Terri Kilker Process Specialist Qwest

REVISED RESPONSE For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the July 16, 2003, CMP Product/Process Meeting

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response – CR # PC051403-2 (Adding Zone Information to Bills)

This is in response to Covad’s Change Request CR PC051403-2. This change request asks that zone information be reflected on Qwest billing so that Covad can reconcile its bills. Additionally, Covad requests that Qwest include USOCs for one-time charges on its bills.

Qwest has reviewed examples provided by COVAD and finds that for UNE-P products (which may or may not include line splitting), Qwest is currently providing the zone and USOC information; therefore, Qwest accepts this change request for UNE-P.

As a result of its investigation of the examples provided by Covad, Qwest now believes that Covad may have intended this change request to encompass more than UNE-P products. If Covad confirms that it intended for its change request to extend beyond UNE-P products, Qwest recommends that the change request be moved into evaluation status. Qwest would further recommend that Covad revise its change request to provide a precise list of products for which it desires zone and USOC information, and an ad-hoc meeting be scheduled where all appropriate subject matter experts at Covad and Qwest can review Covad’s requirements.

Sincerely,

Terri Kilker Process Specialist Qwest

INFORMATION FROM PRODUCT/PROCESS CR: 07/16/03 July CMP Meeting Craig Suellentrop with Qwest presented the response for this CR. Because of the systems work necessary to select sync testing and request the protocol for testing, this CR will be crossed over to Systems and will be discussed at the Systems meeting 7/17/03. Covad agreed to cross over the change request to Systems.

06/18/03 June CMP Meeting John Berard with Covad presented this CR. Covad would like to have the capability of sync testing for line sharing maintenance and would also like to have sync testing available for line splitting and loop splitting, both provisioning and maintenance. Craig Suellentrop said that he received the e-mail from John about the 102 characters allowed in the remarks section of CEMR and if the character limit would not be enough room to identify the protocol for sync testing. John said that the remarks field is written over and suggested use of another field. John said that as an interim solution, the remarks field could be used until a longer-term systems solution can be implemented. Qwest will provide a response on this CR at the July CMP meeting and this CR will be moved to Presented status.

I did check with our repair group and it would be no problem to provide the protocol when a trouble ticket is opened... However, for the lineshare family of products there is only 102 characters allowed in the comment section of CEMR. If you would like Covad to provide this when we open the ticket the comment space limitations would need to be removed. Or allow us to use another field to provide this information.

Description Of Change

Covad is requesting the implementation of a new Real Time Interface connection to Pre-Qual Raw Loop Data. Currently BellSouth has this

type of interface, which has greatly increased Covad’s ability to determine the loop characteristics early on in the ordering process (pre-order).

The major advantage of this system is that it allows a DLEC/CLEC real time access to LFACS data. This information is critical to the ability of

a DLEC to determine early on if the high frequency portion of the loop can handle DSL service. Here is a description of BellSouth’s system:

The information contained in LQS (Loop Qual System) is derived from the Loop Engineering Assignment Data(LEAD) Database and provides

a 'best effort' response regarding a loop’s ability to support BellSouth’s ADSL service.

The LEAD Database is a once-per-month-per-wire-center 'snapshot' of the information

contained in the Loop Facilities Assignment and Control System (LFACS) Database.

1/30th of all wire centers are updated every day. Currently there is a 98% accuracy rate

on returned responses within LQS.

Here's a public link to the LQS (Loop Qualification System, aka SuperLoopy)

document:

http://www.interconnection.bellsouth.com/guides/bpobr/pdf/lqs.pdf

This document is mainly LQS Application focused. The Java API is briefly mentioned,

referencing the following, more technical link (however, it is not public):

http://lqs.bellsouth.com

All the data accessible from the application and more is available via the API.

Eric Fogle is the appropriate BellSouth contact for additional information on this system. The effort via OBF, for which he was the CLEC

workshop chair, was very much along these lines.

Eric Fogle can be reached at 404-927-3433, Eric.Fogle@BellSouth.com

Expected Deliverable:

As soon as possible

CLECs if the customer was lost to a Wireless Carrier). John said that this CR has not been prioritized high enough in the last several prioritizations and has a large level of effort. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR would be withdrawn.

-- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. John Berard/Covad stated that this is a medium priority for Covad due to the LOE, for the value.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Berard/Covad stated that this CR is a high priority for Covad, even thought the LOE hours are high.

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this request is 6875 to 11450 hours for IMA and 300 to 375 hours for SATE. Connie stated that this is a brand new interface and is a voteable candidate for 15.0. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Covad told her that this was their very first choice and is very important to Covad.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Action Item: Covad to Submit Recent Examples Where Real Time Data Was Not Provided John Berard/Covad stated that he has worked with his Account Team and that Eric Yohe-Qwest has helped. John stated that examples were provided a while ago and that Covad is looking for a different step, they want the information that is in IMA’s pre-qual tool. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that in the initial discussion, when Mike (Zulevic) presented this, he indicated that Qwest is not providing real time data and that is why Qwest had asked for current examples. Lynn noted that her understanding is that Qwest does currently provide real time data. Lynn stated that the action item for this CR could be closed and that we would proceed with the conference call scheduled with Qwest and Covad tomorrow. John Berard/Covad agreed. There were no additional comments or questions. This Action Item is Closed.

Action Item: Verify that Loop Qual in IMA Provides Most Current Information Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Raw Loop Data is a snapshot of time and that Mike (Zulevic) thought was that IMA was different data and is more up-to-date. Connie stated that this would be discussed on tomorrow’s call. John Berard/Covad agreed and stated that this Action Item could be Closed.

Ad-Hoc Call - Covad and Qwest - July 18, 2003 Introduction of Attendees: John Berard/Covad, Shiva Chere/Covad, Vin W/Covad, Kasie Murphy/Covad, Raj/Covad, Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest, Connie Winston/Qwest, Crystal Soderlund/Qwest, Woldey Assefa/Qwest, Eric Yohe/Qwest, Lane Jones/Qwest, Evelyn Montez/Qwest, Barb Brohl/Qwest, John Ebbert/Qwest, Lucy Higley/Qwest Review Requested Description of Change: Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call is for additional discussion regarding Real Time API Connection to Raw Loop Data and to communicate how Qwest currently provides. Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest noted that Covad is certified for loop qual. John Berard/Covad stated that Covad needs to know how the pre-qual tool works and stated that this request is for API connection to the data. John then asked if there was a way to get access. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if the request is due to Covad’s being unable to read EDI. Covad stated that their architecture is set-up for an API connection, once an order is accepted. John stated that Covad currently relies on extracts. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that once Covad accepts the order from the customer, they could go to EDI. Covad stated that EDI is not a synchronous call and that is what they need. Connie Winston/Qwest asked why the need for synchronous. Connie asked if Covad’s need is to make sure that the customer qualifies. Covad stated that once a customer contacts them, they do need to be sure. Covad stated that once the order is placed, they use EDI data through extracts and sometimes it is not current data. Covad stated that this results in a reject from Qwest and they then need to communicate the reject to their customer. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when we share Raw Loop Data, if the data changes, it is a favorable change, it would not be a negative change going backwards. Connie asked if that was what they were experiencing. Covad stated that the extracts are 30 days old and that the changes are not always favorable. Covad stated that 30 days is too long to wait. Covad stated that EDI is asynchronous mode and that it sometimes can take up to an hour to respond. Covad stated that EDI is not real time in that sense. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that EDI is in real time. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that EDI does provide real-time transactions. Covad stated that the timeframe usually is not an hour, but the response has to be less than a second. Barb Brohl/Qwest stated that Qwest has performance measures and that Qwest does evaluate and measure the amount of time it takes to respond. Barb stated that for DSL Qwest loop qual and loop qual, Qwest has agreed to less than 20 seconds. Barb noted that it has not been missed and that Qwest is providing data quickly. Covad stated that maybe it is not for EDI. Barb Brohl/Qwest stated that it is for EDI. Covad stated that EDI is an asynchronous protocol. Barb Brohl/Qwest asked for the effect, as long response time is not an issue, Qwest has a short response time. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is trying to understand what makes this request beneficial. Connie stated that Qwest does have an electronic interface that provides this data. Covad stated that per business requirements for loop qual, a certain amount of response time is required so they have built a system, from the extract from different vendors, and stated that the format differences was an issue. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if Covad was referring to the format of how Qwest provided ‘the big file’. Covad responded yes, and stated that it breaks their process. Covad stated would like the extract replaced with an API connection. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if Covad is using the bulk data for analysis, it would seem that Covad would be using API constantly. Connie stated that the bulk data would give Covad a focus and asked how line-by-line would be better. John Berard/Covad stated that when their partners go in to see if they qualify, bulk data is used and it could be outdated by 30 days. John stated that Covad would like their partners to go directly to the data. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if Covad was externally exposing a GUI and letting their customers perform the loop qual. John Berard/Covad responded yes and stated that Covad does not double check loop qual. John stated that once an order is accepted, the address is verified and they do a loop qual. Connie Winston/Qwest asked to confirm that the reason why Covad is uncomfortable with EDI is because Covad is going externally with a GUI. Covad stated yes and noted that it could also impact their systems. Covad stated that response time is crucial. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that from Qwest’s perspective, Qwest does provide the data via EDI. Covad stated that they have already implemented with Bell South and use API to verify information which is up-to-date. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest does provide the data via EDI. Covad stated that if the data is being provided through EDI, it is not synchronous. Covad stated that they are requesting that Qwest provide the data in synchronous mode, in addition to providing the current extract. Covad stated that API is synchronous. John Berard/Covad stated that Covad’s end user’s need to not time out and stated that 20 seconds is too long. Covad stated that accessing real-time would enable additional information to be retrieved that the extract does not have. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is not excited about providing another interface and stated that from Qwest’s perspective, Qwest is meeting qualification requests and is currently providing loop qual data in real time. Covad stated that Qwest does provide in real time, but after they have accepted the order from their customer. John Berard/Covad stated that their customer’s are getting the extract information but is not real time. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if the bulk data has changed in the extract, Qwest needs to tell the CLECs how it changed and why so the CLECs can code to the changes. Connie stated that if the format changed, it was probably for more data, but stated that she had not seen the format. Covad stated that if the format changes, it could create a problem. Covad asked that if the format does change, do they get notified. John Berard/Covad stated that if the format changes or a meaning changes, they do need to get notified. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she was not aware of a format or meaning change. Eric Yohe/Qwest stated that if there are issues with a system, there are established processes that need to be used, such as calling in a trouble ticket, or placing a call to a service manager. Eric stated that this is a separate issue than this CR’s discussion. John Berard/Covad asked that if the source is the same but there is a difference, there been a change. Connie Winston/Qwest asked that if Covad is seeing that the bulk data is different, to please open a trouble ticket or place a call into their service manager. John Berard/Covad stated that there is a problem, in Phoenix, where the loops are labeled incorrectly or that they appear extremely long. John stated that he is seeing this in the extract and in EDI. John noted that this issue would be discussed in the pre-qual forum that has been established as a result of a Product/Process CR and is due to start in August. (Product/Process CR is PC051403-3 Request for By-Weekly Technical Meetings on Pre-Qual Issues) Barb Brohl/Qwest asked that if Covad has seen that fields have changed, to please get the information to the Covad service manager, Eric Yohe. There were no additional questions or comments. The call was concluded.

- CLARIFICATION MEETING - June 27, 2003 ATTENDEES: John Berard (Covad), Mike Zulevic (Covad), Sharon Van Meter (AT&T), Donna Osborne-Miller (AT&T), Liz Balvin (MCI), Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon), Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest), Dusti Bastian (Qwest), Jamal Boudhaouia (Qwest), Barbara Brohl (Qwest), Dan Busetti (Qwest), Suzy Enney (Qwest), John Gallegos (Qwest), Mark Gonzales (Qwest), Barry Orrel (Qwest) Joan Pfeffer (Qwest), Michelle Thacker (Qwest), Deni Toye (Qwest), Crystal Soderlund (Qwest), Heidi Moreland (Qwest) REVIEW CR DESCRIPTION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) stated that this CR was discussed and crossed over, to systems, during the June Product and Process CMP Meeting. Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) reviewed the CR description: Covad is requesting the implementation of a new Real Time Interface connection to Pre-Qual Raw Loop Data. Currently BellSouth has this type of interface, which has greatly increased Covad’s ability to determine the loop characteristics early on in the ordering process (pre-order). The major advantage of this system is that it allows a DLEC/CLEC real time access to LFACS data. This information is critical to the ability of a DLEC to determine early on if the high frequency portion of the loop can handle DSL service. Here is a description of BellSouth’s system: The information contained in LQS (Loop Qual System) is derived from the Loop Engineering Assignment Data (LEAD) Database and provides a 'best effort' response regarding a loop’s ability to support BellSouth’s ADSL service. The LEAD Database is a once-per-month-per-wire-center 'snapshot' of the information contained in the Loop Facilities Assignment and Control System (LFACS) Database. 1/30th of all wire centers are updated every day. Currently there is a 98% accuracy rate on returned responses within LQS. Here's a public link to the LQS (Loop Qualification System, aka SuperLoopy) document: http://www.interconnection.bellsouth.com/guides/bpobr/pdf/lqs.pdf This document is mainly LQS Application focused. The Java API is briefly mentioned, referencing the following, more technical link (however, it is not public): http://lqs.bellsouth.com All the data accessible from the application and more is available via the API. Eric Fogle is the appropriate BellSouth contact for additional information on this system. The effort via OBF, for which he was the CLEC workshop chair, was very much along these lines. Eric Fogle can be reached at 404-927-3433, Eric.Fogle@BellSouth.com. Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) asked if there was any additional information that Covad would like to share. John Berard (Covad) stated that Covad is requesting this functionality in addition to the extract, as a second application for the data. EXPECTED DELIVERABLE: As soon as possible CONFIRMED IMPACTED INTERFACE: IMA Common CONFIRMED IMPACTED PRODUCT’S: UNE, Line Sharing, Line Splitting, Loop Splitting DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) opened the bridge for questions and/or comments. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) asked if this request was for the wire center tool. John Berard (Covad) responded yes. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) stated that the data is currently updated real-time and that for 1/20th of the wire center’s, it is updated daily. Barbara stated that is real-time thru the loop qual database, via IMA. Barbara stated that transactions through IMA go through the application database, and then a query is done in LFACs to see if the loop has changed. If it has changed, the updated data is populated and the CLEC gets a response of the current data. John Berard (Covad) stated that Covad’s request is for real-time via their own pre-qual through an API Connection and asked how it should be set-up. John stated that Covad does not want to go through the GUI. Barbara Brohl (Qwest) asked if EDI would be sufficient. Barbara stated that she has had discussions with Kasie Murphy (Covad) and stated that there should be a way to provide, through EDI. John Berard (Covad) stated that Covad does not want via EDI, wants pre-order up-front on a real-time basis. John requested a follow-up call to include technical personnel. Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) agreed to schedule a follow-up call with Covad. There were no additional questions or comments. ACTION PLAN: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) stated that this CR would be discussed at the July Systems CMP Meeting.

- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR was discussed yesterday, at the Product/Process CMP Meeting and crossed-over to system’s. Kit asked if anyone wanted to discuss this CR at today’s CMP Meeting. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that this would help address one of Covad’s chronic problems to get the most accurate data in order to start their provisioning process. Mike Zulevic/Covad presented the CR and stated that this is something that BellSouth is currently providing. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this was creating a situation where you think you can provide DSL when you can’t. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated yes, and results in Covad setting false expectations because we think we can and can’t or because we know that we can’t. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest believes that there are processes in place that provide this info in real time. Lynn asked that if Covad believes that there are situations where the data is not accurate or not provided, to please provide example to Qwest. Lynn stated that examples would be tremendously helpful. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that Covad could provide more examples and stated that he has already provided examples to someone at Qwest. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked Mike (Zulevic) whom the examples were provided to at Qwest, so Qwest can obtain the examples from them. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he did not know whom, at Qwest, the examples were provided to. Mike stated that he has more recent examples but that he doesn’t want to do more research. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest does not want Covad to spend a lot of time looking at it, but asked that if had data readily available, it would be very helpful. Lynn stated that Qwest would evaluate the data. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that McLeodUSA is also interested in this request as well. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Covad had submitted a CR that requested that updates be more than every 30-days and that the CR was denied. Bonnie stated that is probably why Covad submitted this CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that loop qual has been problematic for Eschelon as well. Bonnie stated that she is providing examples, to Eschelon’s service manager, where a Qwest retail customer qualifies for a specific speed but a CLEC gets a different speed. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the examples would help Qwest and look at the tool to see if a problem exists. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the discrepancy could be due to the time difference. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this should not be an issue; it should have already been resolved. Lynn stated that this is where the examples would be very helpful. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the data in Loop Qual is real time. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if it was the Loop Qual tool that Eschelon is getting the data dump from or from IMA. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon responded IMA. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest has put in the capability to see if the data had changed and if it had, the CLEC would be able to get the new information. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest might want to investigate every ‘no’ in the last 30 days. That might help Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that at yesterday’s Product/Process meeting, another CR was presented that requests bi-weekly meetings with SMEs that handle loop qual to identify what kind of problems we’re having. Mike stated that the next walk-on CR is similar. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it needs to be kept in mind what products you’re using wanting the tool to do a loop qual on. Lynn noted that a resale provider might not do the same thing because they wouldn’t use the loop qual tool. Lynn stated that CR’s are very specific to certain things. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR will be crossed over to Systems.

PC051903-1 Real Time API Connection to Raw Loop Data 5/30/03: Held Clarification Call - discussed this would potentially cross over to systems Clarification Meeting Friday May 30, 2003 Attendees Cindy Macy - Qwest CRPM Michelle Thacker - Qwest Communications Dave Manica - Qwest Communications Craig Suellentrop - Qwest Communications John Berard - Covad Raj - Covad Shiva Sharif - Covad Cindy Buckmaster - Qwest Communications Cliff Dinnwiddie - Qwest Communications

Introduction of Attendees Macy-Qwest welcomed all attendees and reviewed the request.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Berard-Covad reviewed the CR. Berard explained they would like access to the individual TN Loop Qualification data that is the most current via a synchronous API. This data is available in IMA currently but via EDI or GUI and Covad would like to access via an API connection. Covad currently uses the Raw Loop Data tool to access loop qual data. They download the data to their own tool. This data is not always current or accurate. Covad wants the most current data, at an Individual TN level, via an API connection. Covad would like a Pre Qual API connection to IMA. Currently Covad also has access to Pre Qual EDI but this is not a fast enough response time due to the volume of data they download. Qwest and Covad discussed if there were certain data elements that were needed. Covad advised they would like access to the same data that they get from Pre Qual IMA EDI today, except in a synchronous API connection. If they want additional data elements added that would be a different CR. The team discussed that this should be a systems CR. Cindy agreed to check with the systems team and cross this CR over.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted Macy-Qwest confirmed that the attendees were comfortable that the request appropriately identified all areas and products impacted.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved Macy-Qwest confirmed with the attendees that the appropriate Qwest personnel were involved.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation Macy-Qwest reviewed the request to confirm Covad’s expectation.

Identify any Dependant Systems Change Requests Macy-Qwest asked the attendees if they knew of any related change requests.

Establish Action Plan Macy-Qwest asked attendees if there were any further questions. There were none. Macy-Qwest stated that the next step was to cross this CR over to systems.

Description Of Change

Covad’s top priority CR for prioritization in release 13.0 (SCR 101802-02 Ability to submit Line Sharing, Loop Splitting LSRs with TN only) was ranked 19th as a result of voting by Qwest and the CLEC community. Covad’s second most important CR (SCR 111102-02) received a ranking of 14th, placing it ahead of the CR most important to Covad’s business needs. Both CRs have a similar LOE in the 1000 to 2100 range. Covad requests that it be allowed to reverse the results of the prioritization for these two CRs so that our most important CR (SCR 101802-02) has a better opportunity of being included in release 13.0. If, as a result of the WorldCom Exception Request, (which if granted will reverse it’s prioritization vote) Covad SCR 101802-02 is ranked higher than Covad’s second most critical request, SCR 111102-02, Covad will withdraw this Exception Request.

Excerpt from meeting minutes from January CMP Systems Meeting:

Walk-On Covad Prioritization for IMA 13.0 Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that in the 13.0 prioritization, Covad has 3 CRs in the vote. Mike stated that what has happened is that Covads #1 priority came out well below their #2 priority. Mike stated that they have roughly the same LOE. Mike asked if they are both Covad sponsored, would it be acceptable to swap the two if one would make it and the other wouldn’t. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Covad would need to submit an exception CR. Judy stated that what will be a factor into the yes/no vote is timing. Judy stated that IT is off and running and we certainly do not want the release jeopardized. Judy stated that we are able to vote yes on WorldCom’s request due to timing. If it were a couple weeks later, we could not do it. Judy asked Covad to submit the exception CR ASAP and Qwest would calculate. Connie Winston/Qwest asked Covad what their first, second, and third priorities were. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that first is SCR101802-02, second is SCR111102-02, and third is SCR112002-01. Liz Balvin/WorldCom noted that if you used the high end LOEs, based on her calculation, his #2 would only make it. If you use the low end of the LOEs then both would make them in. Randy Owen/Qwest asked if a sponsoring CLEC changing their own vote order violate the process. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that an exception request can always be submitted and there is the possibility that the vote would be to not accept the request because it would require a unanimous yes vote to accept it. Judy stated that the CR would be a one-time only exception. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that Covads CRs seem to have synergies so Qwest may package together anyway, but we were thinking the exception process would get this done sooner than waiting until packaging. Mike Zulevic/Covad stated that he would submit an exception CR to swap positions of 2 CRs in the vote.

Description Of Change

Revised Request: Covad requests that beginning April 1, 2003, we have the capability to check the availability of or place orders to use our DS0 tie cables for either Line Sharing or UNE/second line DSL services. This capability would not be required for existing TIE cables that are used for Line Sharing, Line Splitting or Loop Splitting in conjunction with a Common Area Splitter Collocation arrangement. These TIE cables are cabled to the splitter port either directly or through a hard-wired arrangement using the existing 410 block. Currently, we must designate the type of service we intend to provide on each cable in advance and if we find we need to re-designate the use of a specific tie cable, we are assessed a cable reclassification charge. SBC currently provides the capability to check the availability of both Line Sharing and UNE/second line DSL services. Having to declare the use of tie cables in advance greatly inhibits our ability to efficiently use our investment in tie cable.

Expected Deliverable

April 1, 2003

Original Request: Covad requests that our collocation DS0 tie cables be inventoried in both TIRKS and SWITCH/FOMS so that we can use our available inventory of tie cables for either Line Sharing or UNE/second line DSL services. Currently, we must designate the type of service we intend to provide on each cable in advance and if we find we need to re-designate the use of a specific tie cable, we are assessed a cable reclassification charge. The concept of dual inventorying has been proven in SBC and is no longer an issue. Having to declare the use of tie cables in advance greatly inhibits our ability to efficiently use our investment in tie cable.

- From: Stecklein, Lynn Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 10:10 AM To: Davis, Colette Subject: Question re: SCR102102-1X

Hi Collette, This is in regard to SCR102102-1X (Dual Inventory of DSL tie cables in TIRKS and SWITCH/FOMS). This CR was submitted by Covad in October of 2002 requesting changes on Line Sharing and UNE products. Many changes have occured since 2002 including the elimination of Line Sharing and UNE via CMP. These products are now available through Commercial Agreements. Because of these changes, would you be agreeable in withdrawing this CR? Thanks for your help in advance.

Ad Hoc Meeting 1:00 PM (Mountain Time) / Monday, January 6, 2003

Attendees Matt White – Qwest Jeff Cook – Qwest Becky Neesen – Covad John Berard – Covad Kim Issacs – Eschelon Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon Sharon Van Meter – AT&T

Introduction of Attendees White-Qwest welcomed all attendees and described the purpose of the meeting. He explained that Qwest and Covad had had further discussions about the request over the last several weeks and that Qwest had identified several differences between Qwest and SBC’s architecture that made the request, as written, difficult to implement. After discussion of these differences, Covad had revised their description of change. White-Qwest asked Cook-Qwest to describe the network architecture differences. Cook-Qwest explained the differences between the Qwest network architecture and the SBC architecture. He stated that in order to grant the Covad request as it was currently written Qwest would have to rewire much of its existing network in order to allow CLECs using Common Area Splitter Collocation the ability to use its DSL terminations from the DSLAMs for either xDSL Unbundled Loops or Line Sharing-type services. He stated that he had some questions about Covad’s request as it pertained to their intentions to use it to provision xDSL Unbundled Loops through the data only 410 termination block.

Neesen-Covad stated that her understanding was that this request now asks that Covad will be able to look up all future and presently unused facilities on the same functionality. Cook-Qwest stated that this was his impression. Neesen-Covad asked if this only applied to collocated splitters or for both collocated and common area splitters. Cook-Qwest stated that it only applied to only collocated splitters. Neesen-Covad stated that Covad has set a soft due date of April 1, 2003. She explained that Covad is doing an internal OSS change and may end up changing the date.

White-Qwest stated that Qwest’s analysis had revealed that in order to fully meet Covad’s request there were IMA changes that needed to be made. He explined that this required the CR to be crossed over into the systems side of CMP. Berard-Covad asked for an explanation of the IMA implications. Cook-Qwest stated that Qwest was looking at doing a dual look into both inventories and implementing an up-front ability to look into both systems on a pre-order basis.

Neesen-Covad stated that Covad’s original objective was to minimize collocation costs, use existing inventory on command and reduce wiring errors. Berard-Covad asked how this would work to convert existing blocks? Jeff-Qwest stated that there had been no discussion of blocks would be converted. He explained that if a block used a common area splitter, it would not be converted.

White-Qwest asked if there were any other questions. There were none. White-Qwest thanked the participants and adjourned the meeting.

Additional Clarification Meeting 2:00 PM (Mountain Time) / Thursday, January 2, 2003

Attendees Matt White – CRPM Jeff Cook – Qwest Scott Sharket – Qwest Mike Zulevic – Covad Becky Neesen – Covad

Introduction of Attendees Cook-Qwest welcomed all attendees and reviewed the request and his reason for calling the meeting. He explained the differences between the Qwest network architecture and the SBC architecture. He stated that in order to grant the Covad request as it was currently written Qwest would have to rewire much of its existing network in order to allow CLECs using Common Area Splitter Collocation the ability to use its DSL terminations from the DSLAMs for either xDSL Unbundled Loops or Line Sharing-type services. He stated that he had some questions about Covad’s request as it pertained to their intentions to use it to provision xDSL Unbundled Loops through the data only 410 termination block.

Zulevic-Covad stated that Covad was trying to establish a situation where Covad could convert existing DSO’s to line sharing without extensive delays.

Neesen-Covad stated that Qwest currently enforces a 90 day interval and completed work often includes errors.

Cook, Zulevic and Neesen discussed several potential ways to overcome the gap between the request and what was physically possible on the Qwest network. The three agreed that this request would be better implemented of the description was rewritten to be more forward looking.

Sharkey-Qwest asked if Covad was interested in this functionality for pre-order as well as ordering.

Neesen-Covad stated that they were.

White-Qwest stated that he and Cook would revise the Description of Change and forward it to Zulevic and Neesen for review.

==================================================================

12/18/02 - CMP Monthly Product/Process Meeting

Cook-Qwest described the CR and presented the Qwest response. Zulevic-Covad stated that if Qwest had any questions when it was deciding options to pursue it should contact Covad for an ad hoc meeting. Van Meter-AT&T asked that she also be included in the ad hoc meeting. She also asked how Qwest would determine the best solution. Cook-Qwest stated that Qwest would decide based on the most efficient option that fully satisfied the CLEC request. Balvin-WorldCom stated that Qwest should document all the options it is considering and why it chooses to pursue, or not pursue, each. Zulevic-Covad stated that he would like to see this option because Covad may opt to use the SCRP to fund a systems change that Qwest feels is too expensive. White-Qwest stated that he would work with Cook-Qwest and Zulevic-Covad to set up an ad hoc meeting. The CR was moved into Evaluation status.

===================================================================

11/20/02 - CMP Monthly Product/Process Meeting

Zulevic-Covad presented the CR. He stated that SBC had already allowed its wholesale customers to do a one-time conversion of DSO tie cables to both databases for no charge. Cook-Qwest stated that he had no questions. The CR status was updated to Presented.

CLEC Change Request – PC102102-1 Clarification Meeting 2:00 PM (Mountain Time) / Wednesday, November 6, 2002

1-877-550-8686 2213337#

Attendees Matt White – CRPM Jeff Cook – Qwest Brett Fesler – Qwest Mike Zulevic – Covad Becky Neesen – Covad

Introduction of Attendees White-Qwest welcomed all attendees and reviewed the request.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Zulevic-Covad reviewed the CR. He stated that there is a delay if Covad uses the existing inventory for tie pairs with line sharing because the pairs need to be reclassified from UNE to line sharing. He stated that this was because Qwest maintains two different databases for the two inventories. He continued that there was a similar problem at SBC until SBC solved by adopting a dual inventory system where the same pairs were inventoried in TIRKS and SWITCH/FOMS. He summarized that Covad wanted some way to utilize tie cables from either service without additional cost of delay to transfer.

Zulevic-Covad stated that he had recently come from a meeting with Steve Nelson. He stated Nelson was aware of this CR and would probably send someone to work on it.

Fesler-Qwest stated that he worked with Nelson’s group and was the product SME for this CR.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted White-Qwest confirmed that the attendees were comfortable that the request appropriately identified all areas and products impacted. Confirm Right Personnel Involved White-Qwest confirmed with the attendees that the appropriate Qwest personnel were involved.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation White-Qwest reviewed the request to confirm Covad’s expectation.

Identify and Dependant Systems Change Requests White-Qwest asked the attendees if they knew of any related change requests.

Establish Action Plan White-Qwest asked attendees if there were any further questions. There were none. White-Qwest stated that the next step was for Covad to present the CR at the November Monthly Product/Process Meeting and thanked all attendees for attending the meeting.

REVISED RESPONSE For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the January 15, 2002, CMP Product/Process Meeting

Mike Zulevic Director - GEA Covad Communications

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Revised Response - CR #PC102102-1

Qwest conducted a meeting on January 6th to discuss with the CLECs Covad’s request for dual inventory of tie cables. From this meeting, it was determined that one solution to Covad’s request is to have the IMA systems automatically check SWITCH and TIRKS to ensure that the requested pair is not in use in either system. This verification will be required on all Line Sharing, Line Splitting, Loop Splitting (excluding orders requesting the use of Common Area Splitters), and xDSL capable loops. Qwest recommends that this CR crossover to become a Systems CR. It should be understood that Qwest cannot agree to implement this solution until Qwest determines its operational functionality and/or the cost associated with it.

Sincerely,

Jeff Cook Staff Advocate – Policy & Law

DRAFT RESPONSE For Review by CLEC Community and Discussion at the December 18, 2002, CMP Product/Process Meeting

Mike Zulevic Director - GEA Covad Communications

SUBJECT: Qwest’s Change Request Response - CR #PC102102-1

Currently, Qwest does not have an automated process in place to inventory the DS0 terminations in both the TIRKS and SWITCH systems. Duplicating DS0 terminations in both systems requires there be a mechanism to synchronize assignments for DS0 terminations between the systems. As a result, manual processes would be necessary to ensure the DS0 inventories in TIRKS match those in SWITCH.

To better understand this issue and to gain clarity around how SBC has successfully employed this capability, Qwest pursued a very high-level explanation from SBC of the SWITCH/TIRKS enhancements implemented by SBC. While on the surface it appears that SBC does maintain a dual inventory of DS0 terminations, Qwest has not yet been able to determine how SBC maintains the data in both systems to ensure inventory consistency and accuracy.

Qwest would like to move this Change Request into the Evaluation Status in order to explore the potential options available to address this request. Qwest will provide a readout of where we are at the December CMP meeting and will outline the next steps to be accomplished at the January CMP meeting.

Sincerely,

Jeff Cook Staff Advocate – Policy & Law Qwest

CR PM: Nolan, Laurel

Description Of Change

IMA does not currently allow CLECs to move (from one splitter to another) or disconnect shared loops. This presents problems for CLECs that are only offering data service on the HUNE – as it inhibits the ability of the CLEC to use the splitter for another end user if the previous end users cancels data service. The end-user is also prevented from switching to another CLECs voice service because of the current immutability of the shared loop. We request that IMA be made to understand RSID information on the shared loop listed in the CSR. This will allow CLECs to place orders to move splitters from a defective splitter to a working splitter and to disconnect customers that cancel their DSL service.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): Change to IMA to accomplish change.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR is targeted for December 8, 2003 implementation. Lynn stated that the architecture work for CEMR will be brought to CMP via CRs in April and stated that those changes will need to be done prior to this CR being implemented. Lynn stated that within MEDIACC, the time is based on the 227/228 standard for EBTA, the app-to-app uses GMT and we would be violating that standard with this request for one time zone, Mountain Time. Lynn asked if we want to do this only for CEMR and leave MEDIACC alone or do we also want to do this for MEDIACC. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon does not use MEDIACC. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that Dan Busetti’s (Qwest) understanding of this request is that this change would only be for CEMR and asked Eschelon if they would revise the CR to reflect CEMR only. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would revise the CR for CEMR only. There were no further questions or comments.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon presented the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking to schedule this CR. Lynn stated that we need to time implementation correctly with expected platform software changes. Lynn stated that Qwest will provide targeted implementation dates as it is determined. There were no questions or comments.

Clarification Meeting - January 10, 2003

Introduction of Attendees: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Dan Busetti/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Cathy Garcia/Qwest, Lynn Notarianni/Qwest, Justin Sewell/Qwest, Jean Novak/Qwest, Beth Foster/Qwest

Review Requested (Description of Change): Currently the time reflected in CEMR and MEDIACC is GMT. Eschelon requests the time reflected in CEMR and MEDIACC are the local time for the customer. A CLEC needs to calculate time intervals per time zone to determine real time as it relates to the customer. Expected Deliverable: Update CEMR and MEDIACC to reflect local customer time.

Confirmed Interface: CEMR Confirmed Products Impacted: All

Confirm Right Personnel Involved - All appropriate personnel participated in the clarification meeting.

Clarification Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Bonnie if she had anything to add regarding the CR description. Bonnie Johnson?Eschelon stated that she had no other comments regarding the CR description. Bonnie stated that she talked about this problem with Jean Novak (Qwest) and that she has also discussed with Dan Busetti (Qwest). Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she knows that this request is a challenge and if could get a time zone in this country, would be good. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked Bonnie where she was interested in seeing this change. Dan asked if was just for emails. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that on the ticket example that she provided to Qwest, when she was looking at the tome of clear, would like to have CEMR populate the local time zone. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked if wanted to see the time zone of the circuit. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that that would be optimum, but that one time zone, like IMA provides, would be helpful. That would make it easier to calculate if always knew that the time was CT would know to add or subtract an hour, depending on the customers location. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that he wasn't clear if Eschelon wanted the time to follow the circuit. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that ideally, follow the circuuit. Bonnie stated that she knows that this would be a challenge to provide due to back-end systems. Bonnie stated that if was always CT, it would be easier to calculate then GMT is to calculate. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked if Eschelon was asking to see just on emails. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there was information in CEMR with different times? Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that CEMR time uses the national standard. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked for clarity. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that the back-end systems present their systems time. Then when shows in MEDIACC, MEDIACC translates to GMT because that is the standard. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if they could get the time that the back-end systems have. Justin Sewell/Qwest stated that this would be very complex due to circuit information and the mapping that would have to be done. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest is taking real time, doesn’t Qwest have to map to mean time. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that is asking for the time to reflect the local circuit time. Bonnie stated that if this is too complex, she wants to reflect only 1 time zone, other than GMT. Either Eastern, Central, or Western time would be fine. There were no other questions or comments.

Establish Action Plan - Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon to present this change request in the February Systems CMP meeting.

RE: SCR010203-01 (CEMR and MEDIACC Time to Reflect Local Time)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR010203-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held January 10, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 600 to 700 hours for this CEMR Change Request. This Level of Effort is based on the solution to provide the reflected time in one time zone only. The time zone utilized will be MST/MDT. This solution was discussed with Eschelon and was agreed to be an acceptable solution to this Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR010203-01.

Description Of Change

CLECs have attempted different approaches to address the problem of mismatches between the order placed by the CLECs on an LSR and the order typed by Qwest on the Qwest service orders. When the Qwest service order is incorrect, customer-affecting problems can result. One approach has been to request a document showing the information on the Qwest service order so that CLECs can compare that information to the LSR to attempt to identify and correct errors before the due date. In other words, CLECS requested the service order detail to identify service order accuracy issues. While CLECs do not believe they should bear the burden of identifying these errors, the alternative of allowing customer-affecting errors on the due date is even worse. Qwest calls the document reflecting the service order detail a Pending Service Order Notification (PSON). CLECs were clear about the need to be addressed when requesting the PSON information. In CR 25497, for example, CLECs said: Providers are requesting a summary of the order by USOC to be included with the FOC so that errors can be identified and corrected before the order completes. Because Qwest said it completed the CR and closed it, CLECs understood that the request had been met. Since then, however, CLECs have learned that Qwest is generating the PSON at the time the Qwest service order is issued. In some cases, Qwest generates the PSON and sends it for review by the CLEC before the Qwest service order is in an RL (released Eastern and Western region) or PD (pending in the Central Region) status. When a service order is sent before it is in an RL or PD status, it may require manual attention by Qwest. As a result, the CLEC will contact Qwest to have corrections made to the service order when the Qwest service order could be in a status that requires manual attention by Qwest. The CLEC spends valuable time and resources to review a Qwest service order that is not in a ready to work status and may request a correction to a service order that may need additional attention by Qwest. This is inconsistent with the request initially made by CLECs to obtain a document that reflects the service order detail “to be included in the FOC so that errors can be identified and contacted before the order completes.” The PSON should be created at a point in time when the information provided is sufficient to allow a meaningful comparison between the LSR and the service order detail. By not disclosing that Qwest is generating the PSON prematurely in at least some cases, Qwest has reserved for itself the argument that the mismatch may not result in an error on the due date while imposing upon its competitors a resource burden that ultimately does not accomplish the purpose expressly stated by the CLECs when requesting the PSON. Giving CLECs a PSON before it has gone through the edit and assignment process is not logical. Given the clear statement of their purpose in requesting the PSON, CLECs could not have anticipated that Qwest would provide a document so early in the process that it cannot be used for the very comparison requested by CLECs. Completed CR 25497 providing the PSON, clearly stated the purpose of the receiving the information was to review the service order for accuracy. Generating and sending the information prior to a ready to work status on the Qwest service order does not fulfill the original CR.

Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR was in a deferred status. She said that we contacted Eschelon to determine if this CR could be withdrawn. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she didn’t believe that they really needed to do anything with the CR, but that if it was causing Qwest issues she was OK to withdraw the CR. This CR is closed.

Lynn, Eschelon does not believe it needs to take any action on this CR and could leave it in a deferred status, however, Eschelon will agree to withdraw the CR at this time and resubmit if necessary.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting

8/26/03 Response from Bonnie Johnson In the August 21, 2003 CMP Systems Meeting, Qwest stated that we needed to confirm with Bonnie Johnson if she had any further questions on the the PSON cycle SCR012203-01 PSON sent aft SO in ready status. The following response was received from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon via voice mail: Bonnie stated that she had no further questions regarding this action item. The action item will be closed in the September CMP Systems Meeting.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that their interest was moderate. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR applied when provisioning the order. Connie also stated that we will contact Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon to confirm that Bonnie has no further questions regarding the PSON cycle.

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Chris Viveros/Qwest asked if there was a handout on the PSON Flow. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated yes and noted that the handout is posted to the web. Lynn reviewed the PSON Flow attachment. PSON Flow High Level Description of the PSON Flow:

The LSR is entered & passes all edits in IMA, Service Order(s) are then created and must pass all Service Order Processor edits, The Service Order data is then made available to IMA to create the PSON.

If Changes are made to the Service Order a new PSON will be created.

Chris Viveros/Qwest stated Eschelon submitted this CR and that there was some confusion or miscommunication between what was being communicated in CMP vs. how they were described the process as working in LTPA. Chris stated that Qwest understood that the CR would be withdrawn but there were some concerns around that due to the need for some additional clarification. Chris also stated that he believed we cleared up that clarification in a meeting last week. He asked if there were any questions and asked Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) if his assessment was accurate. He also asked Bonnie whether the CR should be closed or do we move forward. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that assessment is correct. Some comments made in long term PID made us ask our service managers some questions; they did not necessarily have to do with quality review but with functionality in the service order processor. We were wondering if the PSON was being sent prematurely. Evidently, the information and reasons to that request that Eschelon provided was not necessarily accurate information. We committed to determine if we want to change the CR to get the PSON sent later in the process or to see if Eschelon can change our internal manual process. We need to make certain that we are looking at the most recent PSON and the timeframe that Qwest communicated to us as to where it would be counted and would not be counted (36 hrs after FOC). As far as the CR we need to determine if the LOE provided was to hold it and issue it at a later interval than it is currently being issued now. We then need to determine if that is what we want to move forward with, or if we want to withdraw it. As for the internal assessment, we currently aren’t able to determine what we want to do. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she read the last statement in the document and asked if that meant that regardless of who initiates the changes and that a correction is made than a second PSON is sent. Chris Viveros/Qwest said that is correct. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if there some way to know that there needed to be a second PSON issued and is there any indication that it is the second PSON. Liz also asked if they have seen what she considers duplicate PSONs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they have seen multiple PSONs and that you just never know when it is going to be the final PSON Chris Viveros/Qwest said that there is no way we could know that until the order is completed. The option to supplement is always out there. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that because of this manually intensive process that Eschelon put in place and when it was communicated to us that we might be getting the PSON sooner in the process than is appropriate, that’s what prompted us to ask the question, we have to come to some common ground about where is the cutoff point for Qwest to do quality check to look for these errors on their own. After such point in time when does it become the CLECs issue to determine if it is a performance issue. We still need to discuss it at Eschelon, but I think we’re close to finding that common ground. Chris Viveros/Qwest agreed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the ball is in Eschelon’s court. We can close this action item. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort needs to be reviewed based on our understanding. Lynn noted that the conclusions is a little different than what is in the CR and what was in the LOE, so we want to go back and look at the LOE. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Connie (Winston-Qwest) advised last month that the LOE was based on delaying the PSON. Bonnie noted that Eschelon needs to decide to either go forward with the CR or withdraw it.

2/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Bonnie Johnson/ Eschelon presented the Change Request. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest issued the PSON after the SOP edits. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that is not what Eschelon was told. Connie Winston/Qwest said that the SOP sends to many different systems (I.e., IMA, Assignments). Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that the reason she referenced all the back end system information in the CR is because of what they have been told. We were told that we were calling to have corrections made prior to it's edits. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest would schedule an internal meeting to determine where the disconnect occurred. Kit Thomte/Qwest said that the status would be changed to presented.

Description Of Change

Currently the BillMate MONSERV file does not show an associated CLLI code for each CKT ID. Qwest charges deaveraged zone rates and it is essential that Eschelon have the information necessary to validate that Qwest is billing for the correct zone. The Qwest BillMate Guide indicates that column 5 (or E) is designated for the working telephone number for the account. When reviewing Eschelon’s UNE Loop & EEL bills it appears that this column is actually populating a billing telephone number, which can not be used to obtain the CLLI from the LERG. Eschelon asks Qwest to include the associated CLLI code for each CKT ID billed on the BillMate MONSERV files for UNE Loop and EEL bills.

5/28/03 Kathy Stichter send an e-mail stating that she agreed that this CR will include all forms of the bill.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the recommendation to use the electronic CSR has added an entire step to their process. She noted that it was terribly time consuming and said that this recommendation will not help them. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked if she should schedule a meeting to discuss further and invite the appropriate SME’s. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon said absolutely.

7/17/03 Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she did receive electronic CSRs for Oregon UBL the 1st week of July. She also stated that she would be analyzing the CSR data against the bill to determine if the zone is correct.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the information was sent to Eschelon and that we are waiting for Kathy Stichter/Eschelon to review to determine if the electronic CSR will meet Eschelon’s needs. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that the information was set up on 6/6/03 for Eschelon to receive the electronic CSR. The information was established on several BANS in Minnesota and Oregon. Connie Winston/Qwest noted this is a new way of receiving the CSR data. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she has not seen the information yet. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that she will find out why Eschelon is not finding this information.

6/19/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Eschelon is looking at CSR’s to determine if existing information meets the need of this CR. Lynn noted that Qwest needs the outcome in order to determine how to move forward. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that Qwest will be providing the CSR’s but she has not yet received the electronic version of the CSR’s. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is timing. Connie stated that Qwest thought you would need another month to look at. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she realized that she would not have the CSR’s prior to this CMP Meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would revisit this CR at the July CMP Systems Meeting. There were no additional questions or comments.

6/6/03 Adhoc Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Kathy Stichter/ Eschelon, Carl Sear/ Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest , Fred Howard/ Qwest, Mark Heline/ Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/ Qwest

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated the purpose of this call was to discuss a possible solution that may meet Eschelon's needs on this request. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that the rate zone information that Eschelon is requesting is already available today.. This information can be found in the PCAT listing for the Deaveraged Zones by Wire Center. The CLLI Code is associated with the appropriate zone.. Carl also said that he understood that Eschelon's concern was associated with the scenario of no CLLI Code for each Circuit ID. Carl stated that with this scenario, Eschelon could request an Electronic CSR that would provide in the S&E the LSO NPA/NXX and the associated CLLI Code

Kathy Stichter/Eschelon clarified that they would use the CSR instead of the bill. Carl Sear/Qwest said that, yes, a CLEC can request the electronic CSR and that it is provided in the ASCII format. Kathy asked if there was any charge for this and Carl said no there was no charge. Carl said that if Kathy would provide a list of summary bills, that he would be happy to establish electronic CSRs for these BANS as a trial. Eschelon could then determine if this solution would meet their expectation. Kathy provided a list of BANS in Minnesota and Oregon stating that the billing dates would be coming up in these states. Carl advised Kathy he would establish the electronic CSRs and Kathy stated that she would take a look at them to determine how to sort etc.

Carl Sear/Qwest also stated that this functionality is fairly new and was not available if Eschelon had requested this in the past.

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that the status of this request will be changed to Evaluation pending the outcome of the Electronic CSR Trial.

Eschelon asks Qwest to include the associated CLLI code for each CKT ID billed on the BillMate MONSERV files for UNE Loop and EEL bills.

Carl Sear/Qwest stated that this request will impact all bills, not just BillMate. Kathy agreed to send an e-mail stating that this request will impact all bills and Lynn Stecklein/Qwest will revise the CR. (See Description ). Fred Howard/Qwest asked if Eschelon was seeing this in any particular state or region. Kathy stated that it was across the board. Kathy also stated that the BTN is populating in what should be the WTN. Fred asked if this was localized to the ZCID account. Kathy said that she was not sure what ZCID meant but that it is associated with UNE-P and EEL bills. Fred summarized that he thought Eschelon was looking to validate zones to the rates. Kathy said yes.

REVISED RESPONSE

October 7, 2003

Kathy Stichter Eschelon

CC: Lynn Notarianni Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Christy Turton Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR051603-01 dated 05/19/2003, titled: CLLI on BillMate MONSERV file for each CKT ID on UNE Loop & EEL bills.

CLEC CR Description as written by Eschelon: Currently the BillMate MONSERV file does not show an associated CLLI code for each CKT ID. Qwest charges deaveraged zone rates and it is essential that Eschelon have the information necessary to validate that Qwest is billing for the correct zone. The Qwest BillMate Guide indicates that column 5 (or E) is designated for the working telephone number for the account. When reviewing Eschelon’s UNE Loop & EEL bills it appears that this column is actually populating a billing telephone number, which can not be used to obtain the CLLI from the LERG. Eschelon asks Qwest to include the associated CLLI code for each CKT ID billed on the BillMate MONSERV files for UNE Loop and EEL bills.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 with Eschelon and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest stated that this request will impact all bills not just BillMate. It was agreed by both parties that the CR should be revised to reflect this change. Additionally, an adhoc meeting was held on Friday, June 6, 2003, in which Eschelon was informed that the rate zone information they were requesting is already available in the PCAT listing for the deaveraged zones by wire center using electronic CSRs. Eschelon agreed to try the new process and report back at the next monthly CMP Meeting as to whether or not the process meets their needs for this particular request. In the August CMP Systems Meeting, Eschelon indicated that they would like Qwest to move forward with the proposed process because the alternative process is time consuming.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR051603-0101, CLLI on BillMate MONSERV file for each CKT ID on UNE Loop & EEL bills, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $1.5 million. Additionally, Qwest believes that the information being requested is readily available, and there is already a process in place which would allow Eschelon to obtain the information needed without requiring Qwest to implement a new systems change.

Qwest is denying your request for CR SCR051603-0101, CLLI on BillMate MONSERV file for each CKT ID on UNE Loop & EEL bills due to economic infeasibility.

Sincerely, Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE June 6, 2003

RE: SCR051603-01

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Eschelon's Change Request SCR051603-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held May 28, 2003 and the ad-hoc meeting held June 6, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue (See Project Meeting Minutes dated June 6, 2003 for details). Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the July Systems CMP Meeting.

At the July Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Description Of Change

Currently Qwest provides a monthly LEXCIS bill for directory assistance charges. The bill only includes quantity, rate and total amount. It does not include the back up detail. Eschelon asks Qwest to provide the back up DA call detail for the quantity billed each month on the LEXCIS bill. The detail for each call should include, date, time, charge, from number and to number. This information is needed for validation of the charges.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

The LEXCIS bill will include the date, the time, charge, from number and to number for each DA call billed.

Email to Kathy Stichter from Laurel Nolan September 2, 2003

Kathy,

During the last CMP Meeting you mentioned that you had recorded an outstanding action item regarding your Lexcis CR, SCR040203-01.

As you know, Qwest denied the systems request to provide the detail on the Lexcis statement because of the large LOE and because of the information provided in the summary report. Would you like Qwest to move ahead with the original solution of providing the business rules associated with summary report and Lexcis bill?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you, Laurel

SCR040203-01 LEXCIS to include back up details for Directory Assistance (DA) charges billed (originated by Eschelon) Lynn Notarianni/Qwest reviewed the denial of the CR. She stated that the detail information is currently available to the CLECs different data output file. Kathy Stichter /Eschelon stated that she was upset by the denial and stated that if she felt that the data provided was adequate then she would not have submitted the CR. She stated that on occasion the data is incomplete and incorrect. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if Eschelon had provided information around the data that is thought to be incomplete or incorrect. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she could send specifics. Laurel Nolan/Qwest suggested that Stichter/Eschelon send the examples to cmpcr@qwest.com. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if Qwest would be continuing its assessment of the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest had already completed the analysis of the CR and that the data output file was different then the request. Bill Markert/Eschelon asked if the data file came within the same timeframe as the bill. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the data file is provided based on the CLECs option in the CLEC Questionnaire. She continued with the example of Eschelon receiving their data every three days in the state of Minnesota. Bill Markert/Eschelon asked if Qwest was saying that he had to look at the DUF to see what days were on his Lexcis bill. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the data file for DA detail was not the same as the DUF. She explained that Facility Based CLECs received their DA detail as 010132 files on a summary report. Bill Markert/Eschelon asked if the detail also included the billing files. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the Lexcis bill was sent monthly and that the detail was set based on the CLEC preference listed on the CLEC Questionnaire. Bill Markert/Eschelon asked how the CLECs were to validate the charges if they were not received at the same time. Bill Markert/Eschelon stated that the question was, if you do not have it all the information on one file how can it be validated. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that Qwest has provided an LOE to provide the business rules and that this could be revisited if Eschelon wanted to move ahead with this solution. Bill Markert/Eschelon stated that his ICA states that the CLEC needs to be able to validate their bills. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that Qwest would continue to look at the issues discussed, but that the systems CR was denied.

SCR040203-01 DA Charges on LEXCIS Bill- CLEC Community to Discuss Internally and Report Back During June Meeting (originated by Eschelon) Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that Eschelon would prefer to keep this as a systems CR and worked from that angle. There were no additional questions or comments. This action item is closed.

Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting- Section- New CLEC CRs. May 22, 2003

SCR040203-01 Lexcis to include back up details for Directory Assistance (DA) charges billed. (originated by Eschelon) Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that this CR was presented as a Walk On in the April CMP Meeting. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest had discussed the CR solution as a product/process change. She continued that Qwest completed a full evaluation of this CR and because of the very large system change involved Qwest was suggesting a documentation change. She stated that the LOE provided (4300-5000) was to provide the business rules to map the current summary files to the LEXCIS bill. She stated that Qwest was suggesting crossing-over the CR to Product/Process and updating the PCAT. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that 5000 hours is a lot for a documentation change. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it was a large effort. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she was concerned that the CR will be crossed over, take six months to complete, and that the change will not be good enough to meet Eschelon’s needs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that they realized that the change would take some time and that the Qwest business team committed to working with CLECs to address any questions or concerns with the documentation they might have. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if other CLECs were interested in this change. Several CLECs noted that they would need to discuss with their team’s offline to see if this is something they would want. Connie Winston/Qwest requested that the CLECs take this back to their technical teams and that Qwest would open an action item to discuss next month. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this CR was just for loops. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the CR was for directory assistance calls for facility based only and that the detail was on the DUF. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the detail could be found on the Summary Bills, not the DUF, listed as 010132 files. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked how often the CLECs received the Summary Bills. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that each Summary Bill pull is determined by each CLEC. She continued that for example, Eschelon received their Minnesota Summary Bill every three days. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that an Action Item would be opened and that the team would review next month.

She stated that they were requesting calls to and from information and date/time. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there was a clarification call on April 11th and that Qwest was currently looking into the change. She stated that on the clarification call it was stated that there might need to be an additional clarification call. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that that was fine. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the CR would move to “presented” status and that it would still be presented in the next CMP Meeting.

Clarification Call April 11, 2003

RE: SCR040203-01

Introduction of attendees: Kathy Steicher-Eschelon, Kerri Waldner-Qwest, Fred Howard-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Review of request: Nolan-Qwest read through the CR title, description of change, and deliverables. She asked Steicher-Eschelon if she had any additions or changes to the CR. Steicher-Eschelon stated that she did not. Nolan-Qwest then opened the discussion to Qwest for questions. Howard-Qwest confirmed that Eschelon was billed as a reseller. Steicher-Eschelon stated that they were billed as a CLEC for on-net service. Howard-Qwest stated that the product was billed as facility based. He asked Steicher-Eschelon if they got the information from the DUF. Steicher-Eschelon stated that there was no way to match the DUF to the LEXCIS bill. She stated that there was never the same number. Howard-Qwest asked if Steicher-Eschelon was saying that there were inconsistancies between the two bills. Steicher-Eschelon stated that there was no way of knowing the from-and-to date on the Lexcis bill and that there was no way to do validation. Howard-Eschelon recapped that Eschelon was requesting the date/time of calls and the to-and-from dates. Steicher-Eschelon stated that she wanted the bills to read in the same way as her home bill would. She stated that they do get the summary for Directory Listings charges.

Products and Interface Impacts: Nolan-Qwest confirmed the products and interface impacted. Steicher-Eschelon stated that there were no changes.

SMEs on the call: Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concerns. She stated that because the process person was not able to join the call, Qwest may have additional questions for Eschelon prior to providing a response. She asked if she could contact Steicher if that occurred. Steicher-Eschelon stated that she would be available the next week.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any additional thoughts, questions, concerns. She said that Steicher-Eschelon would present this at the May meeting and that Qwest would provide a response prior to the Monthly Meeting. Steicher-Eschelon stated that she wished to walk-on the CR in April. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would have the CR added to the distribution package for the meeting and reminded Steicher-Eschelon that Qwest would have a response in May.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR040203-01, dated 04/02/03, titled: LEXCIS to include back up details for Directory Assistance (DA) charges billed.

CR Description: “Currently Qwest provides a monthly LEXCIS bill for directory assistance charges. The bill only includes quantity, rate and total amount. It does not include the back up detail. Eschelon asks Qwest to provide the back up DA call detail for the quantity billed each month on the LEXCIS bill. The detail for each call should include, date, time, charge, from number and to number. This information is needed for validation of the charges.

Expected Deliverable: The LEXCIS bill will include the date, the time, charge, from number and to number for each DA call billed.”

History: A clarification meeting was held on April 11, 2003 with Eschelon and Qwest representation. Per discussion held at the CMP Monthly Systems Meeting during CMP Monthly Systems meetings on April 22, 2003, May 22, 2003, and June 17, 2003 Qwest discussed the possibility of offering the business rules for the current Directory Assistance information that Facility Based CLECs receive. The LOE for this solution was 4300 to 5000 hours. Eschelon stated in the June 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting that they would like Qwest to continue the investigation of a systems solution for providing the detail on the LEXCIS bill.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR040203-01, LEXCIS to include back up details for Directory Assistance (DA) charges billed on the LEXCIS bill. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of providing the detail on the LEXCIS bill would be approximately 28,000 hours.

Considering that the information requested (date, time, from number and to number) is currently available to CLECs through the DA information received on the Facility Based CLEC output data files, Qwest is denying your request for CR SCR040203-01, LEXCIS to include back up details for Directory Assistance (DA) charges billed based on economic infeasibility.

Sincerely,

Qwest

INITIAL RESPONSE May 20, 2003 RE: SCR040203-01, LEXCIS to include back up details for Directory Assistance (DA) charges billed.

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Eschelon's Change Request SCR040203-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held April 11, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 4300 to 5000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Change Request.

The LOE stated above will provide the CLECs with the business rules associated with matching the current DA summary information with the LEXCIS bill.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request.

Project Meetings

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that when the billing team reviewed this request, it became apparent that what was being requested was a different format presentation, in an EXCEL spreadsheet. Lynn stated that based on the degree and amount of effort, for this request, Qwest believes that there is no demonstrable business value. Lynn stated that the CLECs could readily format the information in whatever way they best see fit, so based on that reason Qwest denied this CR based on the lack of business benefit. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon responded that she did receive the denial response. There were no additional questions or comments.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR040303-03, dated 4/03/03, titled: Daily Report Summarizing Usage Sent on the DUF, Meet Point Billing File and .Toll File.

CR Description: Currently Qwest provides daily usage files, DUF, Meet Point Billing File and .Toll files. Eschelon asks Qwest to supply daily reports that summarizes each of these files in an Excel format. The summary reports should include the date range of the usage and the quantity of each type of call per date.

Expected Deliverable: Daily summary reports in Excel format showing the date range of usage and the quantity of each type of call per date for the daily usage files, DUF, Meet Pont Billing and .Toll.

History: A clarification meeting was held on April 11, 2003 and on April 23, 2003 Eschelon provided examples of what they are looking for as an example of the .Toll file as well as an example of the summary information Eschelon is looking for.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR040303-03, Provide DUF Daily Report Summarizing Usage Sent on the DUF, Meet Point Billing File and .Toll File, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit for the effort that would be required. This request would require Qwest to distribute at least double the amount of files sent per CLEC per day. This increase per CLEC would not result in a reasonable business benefit to warrant the expense of this change. It was determined that the LOE of this change would be 5500-7500 hours and would also require significant maintenance costs and additional resources. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the information requested in this CR is already provided to the CLEC community. Currently, CLECs can readily determine the information requested in this CR using the information provided via the DUF and Meet Point billing records. Both of these records are transmitted via EMI which can easily be exported to other commercially available software. By looking at this information in other commercially available software, CLECs can customize their own reports based on whatever they feel is necessary, using whatever type of information the CLECs would like to view from their extracted data.

In light of the information currently available to CLECs through the DUF, Meet Point, and .Toll files, there appears to be no demonstrable business benefit for this change for the associated costs, therefore Qwest is denying your request for SCR040303-03, Provide DUF Daily Report Summarizing Usage Sent on the DUF, Meet Point Billing File and .Toll File.

Director:
CR PM: Nolan, Laurel

Description Of Change

Per Qwest LSOG rules, the DSPTCH field is "N" (not required) for all POTS services. A CLEC is required to use "manual handling" with remarks added on the LSR when a Qwest technician dispatch is required to install and tag a line. Qwest requires CLECs use this process regardless of whether IMA facility check shows dispatch is required or not required if the CLEC requests dispatch. Qwest should provide a system solution instead of the manual processes. Because Qwest requires this manual process a CLECs LSRs are prevented from "flow through" for new lines and moves that require dispatch by a Qwest technician. A CLEC could easily populate the DSPTCH field "yes" when a dispatch is required or requested and prevent the Qwest manual process to request dispatch. When an LSR is prevented from flow through it increases the opportunity for service order errors.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

Qwest will update IMA to allow requesting a dispatch using the DSPTCH field and eliminate the manual process for requesting dispatch.

SCR042803-03 Allow Dispatch field “yes” on LSR for POTS services to prevent manual handling of LSRs when a Qwest dispatch is required (originated by Eschelon ) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CR was denied by Qwest due to it’s economic impact. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she wanted additional information on the cost and that she did not understand where the cost of $110 is coming from. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the field would be available to flag a dispatch and if a Field Technician was dispatched on every order, regardless if it was required or not, then it would be very costly to Qwest. She stated that Qwest has reviewed the previous month’s data and that the cost would be very high. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Winston/Qwest was saying that the CLECs would not be able to know when there needs to be a dispatch or not. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there was risk to Qwest on CLECs having the ability to dispatch on every order. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if Johnson/Eschelon was ok with Qwest’s response. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that currently Eschelon requires a dispatch on every POTS order, but that the orders fell out for manual handling because they could not use the “dispatch” field. She explained that through her request she would be marking the field “yes” instead of telling Qwest through the remarks field. She stated that she did not understand Qwest’s position. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if Johnson/Eschelon if she was requesting dispatch today. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that under the current process, Eschelon orders using the remarks field which causes the order to fall out for manual handling. She stated that she felt that her CR was clear. She stated that she was requesting to use mark the “dispatch” field and mark it “yes”. She stated that she did not understand why this would be an increase in cost. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would need to talk with the Network SMEs, but that she understood that by allowing this field to be used it would increase the amount of dispatches. John Berard/Covad stated that he believed that CLECs were being charged for dispatch in the Tariff. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would remain in Denial Status and that Qwest would continue to evaluate the issues discussed.

CMP Monthly Meeting- excerpt from meeting minutes June 19, 2003

SCR042803-03 Review status of CR (SCR042803-03 Dispatch field 'Yes') (originated by Eschelon) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is in evaluation and that Qwest is working with Network partners to see how this can be implemented. There were no questions or comments. This action item remains open.

CMP Monthly Meeting- excerpt from meeting minutes May 22, 2003

SCR042803-03 All dispatch field “yes” on the LSR for POTS services to prevent manual handling of LSRs when a Qwest dispatch is required. (originated by Eschelon) Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the CR. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that this CR would help her company greatly. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the CR was currently in evaluation and that Qwest had an additional call with Eschelon the day before to review and gain additional clarification. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the CR appeared to have process implication John Gallegos/Qwest stated that it did and that was why Qwest had the additional call with Bonnie (Johnson) to get further clarification.

Additional Clarification Call May 21, 2003

Attendance: Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, John Gallegos-Qwest, Cathy Auguston-Qwest, Conrad Evans-Qwest, Terri Kilker-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Review of CR: Gallegos-Qwest stated that a few items came up while Qwest was completing their investigation. He stated that Qwest wanted to raise them to Eschelon immediately. He asked if Eschelon's concerns were in regards to moves and new lines and tagging at the Demarc. Johnson-Eschelon stated that the reason Eschelon got into this was due to problems with tagging at the Demarc. She stated that Eschlon was currently changing these orders to manual handeling and requesting dispatch. She continued that this was for business lines only and that taging at the demarc should be taking place. She stated that Eschelon was told that the only way they can have someone come out was to change the order to manual. She continued that they wanted to use the field for POTs and that it was currently available on UNE orders. She stated that they wanted to click "yes" and drive a dispatch. Gallegos-Qwest asked if this was for new lines and moves only. Johnson-Eschelon stated that he was correct. She stated that the bottom line was that they wanted tags and that they should be done every time. Gallegos-Qwest stated that the process is to tag, but that sometimes they were removed. Johnson-Eschelon stated that changing the order to manual prevents flow through and creates additional oportunities for error. Gallegos-Qwest asked if Eschelon was requesting to reserve pairs. Johnson-Eschelon stated that currently Eschelon used Facility Check. She stated that they just wanted to make sure that they get their lines and that they could not always depend on Facility Check in multi-line locations. She stated that Eschelon knew that they could not reserve facilities. Gallegos-Qwest stated that Qwest was currently looking at the impacts to processes and that they would provide an LOE as soon as possible. Nolan-Qwest stated that the CR was currenly in evaluation and that it would be discussed at the next day's CMP Meeting. She stated that Qwest would provide the LOE as soon as possible.

Meeting adjourned.

Clarification Call May 5, 2003

Attendance: Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Kim Issacs-Eschelon, Joan Pfeffer-Qwest, Berkley Loggie-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Suzy Enney-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Review of CR: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR title and description of change. She asked if there were any changes or corrections. Johnson-Eschelon stated that the request was cut and dry and that they wanted to be able to use this field when ordering POTS services. Gallegos-Qwest stated that this field would not allow all items to flow-through. He stated that other factors contributed to flow-through activity. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she understood this, but that she thought that this request would help with flow through of certain products. She continued that Centrex 21 doesn’t currently flow through and that there was an existing CR requesting flow through. She stated that the possibility of a facility being taken after a order is placed is high for business lines. She stated the need for dispatch. Gallegos-Qwest reminded Eschelon that there could be other reasons for manual handeling. Johnson-Eschelon stated that she understood this. Gallegos-Qwest stated that the change was technically feasible, but that he needed to work with the business partners to assess the change.

Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the products and interfaces impacted. No changes.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any questions or concerns. None. She stated that the CR would be presented in the May meeting.

Meeting adjourned.

REVISED RESPONSE July 11, 2003

Bonnie Johnson Eschelon Telecommunications

CC: Lynn Notarianni Connie Winston Beth Foster Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR042803-03, dated 04/28/03, titled: Allow Dispatch field ‘yes’ on LSR for POTS services to prevent manual handling of LSRs when a Qwest dispatch is required.

CR Description: “Per Qwest LSOG rules, the DSPTCH field is “N” (not required) for all POTS services. A CLEC is required to use “manual handling” with remarks added on the LSR when a Qwest technician dispatch is required to install and tag a line. Qwest requires CLECs use this process regardless of whether IMA facility check shows dispatch is required or not required if the CLEC requests dispatch. Qwest should provide a system solution instead of the manual processes. Because Qwest requires this manual process a CLECs LSRs are prevented from “flow through” for new lines and moves that require dispatch by a Qwest technician. A CLEC could easily populate the DSPTCH field “yes” when a dispatch is required or requested and prevent the Qwest manual process to request dispatch. When an LSR is prevented from flow through it increases the opportunity for service order errors.

Expected Deliverable: Qwest will update IMA to allow requesting a dispatch using the DSPTCH field and eliminate the manual process for requesting dispatch.”

History: A clarification meeting was held on May 5, 2003 with Eschelon and Qwest representation and an additional call on May 21, 2003. This Change Request was also discussed in the May and June CMP Systems Meetings.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR042803-03, dated 04/28/03, titled: Allow Dispatch field ‘yes’ on LSR for POTS services to prevent manual handling of LSRs when a Qwest dispatch is required. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the ongoing cost for providing the option of dispatch on every act of N and T would be approximately $110 per order.

Considering that this process can be requested manually, determined jointly between the CLEC and Qwest, and because dispatch is not needed on every order, Qwest is denying your request for CR SCR042803-03, dated 04/28/03, titled: Allow Dispatch field ‘yes’ on LSR for POTS services to prevent manual handling of LSRs when a Qwest dispatch is required based on economic infeasibility.

Sincerely,

Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE May 15, 2003 RE: SCR042803-03

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Eschelon's Change Request SCR042803-03. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held May 5, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the May Systems CMP Meeting.

At the May Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Description Of Change

Qwest Retail employees have access to the LNP Eligibility Tool that allows a one step process to determine if a telephone number (TN) can be ported to a new address. The Tool allows Qwest Retail the ability to input a TN with the new customer address and the system responds immediately providing the information needed on whether the number is eligible for porting to a different address. CLEC’s are required to follow a multiple step process; 1.) Address validation to determining the CLLI of the old and new address, 2.) Input the CLLI in the LERG to determine the rate center of the old and new address, 3.) Check the rate center for both the old and new address to determine if the customer is in the same rate center. This process is time consuming and leaves room for error while the tool Qwest Retail uses allows a timely accurate response. For example, when a Qwest Retail customer calls their Qwest representative in business office to place a move request, or to assess whether a number can be ported to a particular address for a future move, (customers often base the decision of a new location on whether they can keep the current assigned TN) the Qwest representative uses the LNP Eligibility Tool to provide the information to the customer immediately. When a customer calls a CLEC to request the same information, the CLEC cannot provide an immediate response to the customer. CLECs should have access to the same tools available to Qwest Retail employees. Because Qwest has not provided access to the LNP Eligibility Tool, CLECs are at a disadvantage.

Project Meetings

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that Qwest analyzed this tool and determined that this change would require a new interface with an updated process for the LERG, a system owned by Telecordia. Contractual restrictions prohibit Qwest from providing the information to a third party. Lynn also stated that Eschelon has access to their own copy of the LERG and that they could readily automate the necessary queries to provide the information they are requesting in this change request. She also stated that the LERG contains other CLECs information.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she is disappointed that Qwest has denied this request and would like to take this information back to her internal contacts.

Alan Flanigan/Time Warner stated that the LERG only has NPA/NXX and not the address.

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she understood Eschelon's disappointment with the denial of this request but said that is was not doable because of the contractual agreements. She noted that she really tried to find alternate options in providing the functionality they were requesting, and had the legal team show her the contracts so she could try to find another way. When we reviewed this request we thought that if Escehlon were to create the queries themselves, it shouldn't take that much effort. Lynn also stated that we could have further discussion on how Eschelon could automate queries to provide the information they are requesting on their side.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said thank you for that clarification.

History: A clarification meeting was held on May 7, 2003 Eschelon reviewed their request.

Qwest Response:

Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR042803-02, Local Number Portability (LNP) Eligibility Tool Access, and has determined that this change would require creation of a new interface with an updated process for the LERG, a system owned by Telcordia. Contractual restrictions prohibit Qwest from providing the information to a third party. Since Eschelon has access to their own copy of the LERG they could readily automate the necessary queries to provide the information they are requesting in this change request.

As a result of this investigation, Qwest has determined that complying with this request would be inconsistent with Qwest's obligations pursuant to its contract and copyright agreement with Telcordia. Therefore, Qwest is denying your request for SCR042803-02, Local Number Portability (LNP) Eligibility Tool Access due to legal implications prohibiting the change as requested.

Description Of Change

Qwest should make available a report for each CLEC that reports errors causing a flow through eligible order to drop from the flow through process. Qwest currently does not provide this data though it does have the data internally at Qwest. Qwest did provide the data at one time; however, in the report Qwest provided included those errors caused by Qwest’s required manual processes. Therefore, the report was of no benefit. Qwest should develop a report that will provide each CLEC information needed to prevent flow through eligible orders from dropping out of the flow through process. The report should contain only valid information. The report should not include that information that is a result of Qwest’s required manual and workaround processes.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest will make available a flow through error report for each CLEC. Qwest will ensure the data is valid and does not include those flow through eligible errors that are a result of Qwest’s required manual processes. Long term - the data would be available in IMA on a real time basis.

This long-term request is for the information in IMA on a real time basis, and SCR063003-01MN Flow through report made available to each CLEC in a timely manner with regular frequency (short term). In reviewing these requests and based on the discussion that took place on July 9th conference call, it has been determined that there really is no coding to be done for these, they look to be generation of reports. This results in these CR’s being crossed over to Product/Process during the August Systems CMP Meeting and the Impacted Release being revised from IMA to ‘Other’ for both of these CR’s.

Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) asked Stephanie Prull (McLeod) if the EDI report should be a report or real-time? Bonnie stated that would need something such as the PON. Stephanie Prull (McLeod) stated that for EDI, she would like a report. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that the report should have a contact name. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that the report would help in identifying how to send orders. Bonnie stated that if Qwest cannot prevent something from appearing on the report would like an indicator to flag that. Deb Roth (Qwest) asked that if the report is downloadable, is it to be daily and how long should the report be available? Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that she would like the report to be available for 2-weeks if it is a daily report or if the report is a weekly report, needs available for a month. Stephanie Prull (McLeod) agreed with Bonnie. Deb Roth (Qwest) stated that there could be more than one reason for the fallout and asked if the CLECs want to see all the incorrect fields? Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated yes, if three fields are wrong, report the three fields. Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that the report is more critical for the GUI.

Description Of Change

Description of Change/Exception:

Qwest to develop a test database that would allow CLECs to test Qwest’s IMA GUI before major and point releases are implemented. Because Qwest does not offer testing, the CLECs GUI users are faced with significant issues that impact our ability to submit LSRs to Qwest in the IMA GUI. Qwest assign’s severity codes as problems are identified through system trouble tickets, based on volume and CLEC impact. For example, in the 12.0 release, an edit was implemented to edit for alpha characters in the hunt sequence. However, there are alpha characters required for some types of hunt sequences and ported numbers. This had a significant impact to Eschelon, but not necessarily to the entire CLEC Community because of product set and EDI. Because Qwest views the impact as minimal, the fix will not be implemented until the 13.0 release. These situations happen with each release. If Qwest offered testing before releases, such as SBC (discussed in June CMP meeting) these issues could be identified and resolved before the release. The impact to CLECs LSR is significantly impacted without testing.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

Qwest will develop a test database for the IMA GUI. This test database will allow CLECs to test the IMA GUI before major and point releases. The CLECs experience significant impacts to LSR submittal because Qwest does not have the ability to test.

Project Meetings

10/16/13 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said the update is basically the same as last month. The Change Request is in CLEC Test. The level 2 notice of the implementation plan was sent on August 23 with an effective date of September 13. There were no CLEC comments. Mark relayed that we had two CLECs sign up for the IMA 1st Look with this release. A targeted email will be sent to the two CLECs that signed up to provide information as to the number to call in number and other 1st Look parameters. We will leave this Change Request in CLEC Test until next month. Mark said if others want to still participate in the 1st Look, they should send an email to the CMP COMM mailbox. Mark asked if there were any questions. There were none.

09/18/13 System CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said a level 2 notification had been sent on August 23 to relay the implementation plan. The effective date was September 13; there were no formal comments. On September 13, CenturyLink sent a system notice for IMA Release 35 to identify that the 1st Look would be held on October 28 and to determine if we had any CLECs interested in participating. Mark said there was one CLEC that signed up so far so we will be holding the IMA 1st Look at Production. He said the CR is now in CLEC Test and we propose leaving the CR there until we utilize this new planned 1st Look with this first release.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said during the CLEC community call, there was a question as to whether the CR impacted XML testing. Kim said her understanding was that it only impacted GUI testing and would not impact XML.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that was correct.

07/17/13 Systems CMP Meeting - Under Attachment I The action item associated with this CR was covered at the end of the monthly meeting. See meeting minutes under Attachment N.

System Meeting minutes under Attachment N Denise Martinez – CenturyLink walked through the attachment that was posted to the Wholesale calendar. Denise reviewed the Background, the Proposed Approach and Test Data sections of the document. Denise asked if there were any questions associated with each section; there were none. Denise reviewed the CenturyLink proposed approach for the upcoming IMA Release 35 which was to move the 1st Look to Monday with no use of test data with that release. With the subsequent releases beginning with IMA Release 36, use of test data would be considered on a release specific basis. Denise said CenturyLink proposed sending a level 2 CMP notice to the full CLEC community to relay this plan. Denise reviewed the Oustanding issues section and referenced the updated matrix that shows recent Utilization of IMA 1st Look and then asked if there were any questions.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said she did not have any questions but said the phased approach as outlined was acceptable and that it looked good.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink asked if it was OK to move forward with a level 2 CMP notification.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said it was OK with Integra.

Al Finnell – Windstream said he would check internally but it looked good as well.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said there will still be an opportunity for CLECs to provide formal comments during the level 2 notification timeline.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink asked if any other participants had any comments. There were none.

06/19/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said the CenturyLink draft response had been sent to Integra on June 14, 2013 to confirm the alternative solution to conduct the 1st Look at Production following an IMA release installation on Monday. Mark relayed that also included would be some capability to input test data into the 1st Look at Production environment. Mark said the details of the alternative process are still being developed and hopefully will be worked out by August so the process can be utilized with the IMA Release 35 in October. Mark asked if there were any questions. There were none.

05/15/13 Systems CMP Meeting Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said CenturyLink developed options for this CR which were presented in the CMP March meeting. She said last month Kim Isaacs – Integra had relayed the Integra preference is to hold the 1st Look on Monday with the capability to input test data though that functionality may not always be used. Susan asked if there are any changes to that or if that had been discussed further in the CLEC community meeting.

Kim Isaacs - Integra said the CR had been discussed in the CLEC Community meeting and that there were no objections in that forum to moving the 1st Look to Monday. Kim asked if a notice would be sent announcing the change since not all CLECs participate in the meeting.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said based on Integra’s agreement on the approach for this CR, CenturyLink will send out a formal response that relays the final direction for the CR. Susan said we may need to schedule a follow-up call to discuss how the optional test data aspect will be implemented. Once agreement is reached on the test data approach, CenturyLink will send out a notice to the CLEC community to relay the change.

Kim Isaacs - Integra said she agreed on that approach.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink asked if there were any questions. There were none.

04/17/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this CR was presented at the end of the CMP March meeting where we walked through several scenarios identified by CenturyLink . Mark said CLECs were to review the scenarios internally to provide their thoughts on how to move forward and asked if anyone had any feedback on the options.

Kim Isaacs - Integra said she had discussed this internally and the direction preferred by Integra is to move the 1st Look to Monday AM following the IMA release install. She said they like the ability to create test data. Kim said she mentioned this CR on the CLEC community call which did not have a lot of participation. For those on the call, there were no concerns moving 1st Look from Sunday to Monday but asked CLECs on the call today to weigh in.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink restated that the Integra preference is to hold the 1st Look on Monday with input of test data allowed.

Kim Isaacs - Integra said yes but that input of test data may not be required in all 1st Looks but they wanted the option.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said we would let the other CLECs consider this and then determine how to move forward in the next meeting.

03/20/13 Systems CMP Meeting Susan Lorence – CenturyLink provided a very brief history of this CR which goes back to 2003. The CR was in a Deferred status from 2007 until last year. The full CR history is available on the CR website. The original LOE was significant per IMA release to establish the IMA GUI Test environment. The CenturyLink SME team has been working to develop several scenarios for CLEC review. Susan said one of the biggest concerns with this CR is that there is an implication that if the CR was implemented, that if a problem were found in the Test environment, it could delay the release implementation. Susan referred to a NOTE in Attachment O to insure there was an understanding that any potential problem found in any Test environment would be addressed per Section 12.0, Production Support, of the CMP document.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink reviewed the information included in the CMP package. She said the scenarios had been developed by the SME team based on the following: IMA releases have gotten smaller over the years; there are not as many extensive functional changes; there is some ability to test IMA in the First Look at Production; and that the IMA candidates are reviewed during the IMA release walkthrough which helps answer CLEC questions. Denise referenced the large LOE of 10,000 hours per release that was provided previously on the original CR. It was identified that IMA does not have 10,000 hours per release any longer. Denise referenced recent analysis of the First Look at Production attendance which shows only two instances that CLECs have participated in the First Look in the last nine releases. Denise also reviewed a matrix that shows only four IMA GUI specific trouble tickets have been identified in the last nine releases.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink then reviewed the four high level scenarios and the additional information associated with each scenario that CenturyLink had developed. The four scenarios are: 1) Go back to using the First Look at Production a. Continue with First Look on Sunday b. Continue with First Look on Sunday but allow use of test data with the possibility of a separate login specific to each CLEC 2) Establish a First Look on Monday following the release a. Continue with First Look but on early Monday b. Continue with First Look but on early Monday but allow use of test data with the possibility of a separate login specific to each CLEC 3) Add a GUI testing window in the SATE environment; includes the possibility of using XML test data 4) Utilize the Training environment for GUI testing in advance of the release with specific test data; requires a significant amount of additional coordination. Jim Rearden – CenturyLink identified that the reason that CLEC testing could not occur in the IMA production environment prior to First Look is that a significant amount of testing occurs with the CenturyLink downstream systems over the weekend. Some of that interfacing system testing does not complete until Sunday which then requires IMA to retest the production environment prior to testing with the customers.

There was discussion as to the cost of each of the scenarios. Scenarios one and two could have a small amount of incremental cost depending on whether option a or b were used. The additional cost would be if CLEC test data would have to be established and then subsequently backed out at the completion of the test. In regard to Scenario 3, the additional cost would be support costs, test data support, but a more refined LOE would be provided when a better understanding of more specific CLEC requirements associated with this CR were available. In regard to Scenario 4, this was referred to as the “Cadillac” version as it requires considerably more environment and hardware setup, downstream coordination, test data development, support staff, etc.

The T shirt size costs that are included at the end of the attachment include hardware costs, test systems, setup costs, backend system support personnel, etc. not just IMA hours.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink reviewed the Additional Considerations listed that include resolving how the GUI Test costs will impact the IMA hours available for each release, what are the timelines to implement any of these testing scenarios, what happens if only a small number of CLECs are interested in testing, etc. Denise asked if there were any questions.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said she would like to take this information back to her staff and review the scenarios. She said Scenario 2b is most likely and practical though Scenario 3 using SATE is interesting. She thought 2b would likely provide what they are looking for. She mentioned several general concerns: Sundays are a problem, the upcoming LSOG CRs may have bigger impacts, etc.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that the IMA hours will very likely not be increasing which has to be taken into consideration although the SCRP process could possibly be used.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink said that the current IMA testing approach has evolved to work very well and that IAM testing team has been together for awhile which resulted in fewer problems with a release.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said she has seen the results of the testing team evolution and appreciated the development of the scenarios. Kim said she would bring this up on the next CLEC community call next month and would also review the scenarios with her team and hoped to have a direction by the April meeting.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said we would make discussion on this CR an Action item for the April meeting. Mark asked if there were any other questions. There were none.

02/20/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said in the January CMP meeting, we said we would put together some possible testing scenarios for consideration. Mark said those scenarios were in the package but that the plan was to review them in more detail in the March meeting. Mark asked if that approach was OK with the group.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said yes.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink reviewed the information included in the CMP package. She said the scenarios had been developed based on the following: IMA releases have gotten smaller over the years; there are not as many extensive functional changes; there is some ability to test IMA in the First Look at Production; and that the IMA candidates are reviewed during the IMA release walkthrough which helps answer CLEC questions. Denise referenced recent analysis of the First Look at Production attendance and then reviewed the four scenarios that CenturyLink had developed: 1) Go back to using the First Look at Production 2) Establish a First Look on Monday following the release 3) Add a GUI testing window in the SATE environment 4) Utilize the Training environment for GUI testing in advance of the release. Kim Isaacs – Integra asked if the LOEs would be available in March for options 3 and 4.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink said we are hopeful we will have the LOEs by then.

Kim Isaacs – Integra asked about option 2 whether the Monday would be similar to the approach on Sunday which includes a bridge, etc. Kim said it is true that recent releases have been smaller but that upcoming releases in 2013 will be bigger, pointing to the upcoming LSOG changes.

Denise Martinez – CenturyLink said that was a good point. In regard to option 2, the plan was for it to be similar to what occurs on Sundays. Denise said we are looking for any ideas and feedback the CLEC community may have to make testing more successful.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said that if anyone has any additional ideas on testing, to please forward them in advance to the CMPCR mailbox for consideration in March.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that would be helpful and asked if there any other questions. There were none.

01/16/13 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink CR said the CR was placed in Deferred in 2007 and reviewed the original LOE for IMA which was 1250 to 2000 hours plus the LOE for SATE of 2760 to 4600 hours. Mark said there were ongoing release impacts of 10,000 hours. Mark said the CenturyLInk SME team is developing some possible testing scenarios/options that include: • what processes would be supported, • what data would be available, • what timeframe the testing would be available, and • what are release impacts if a specific testing scenario were to be implemented Mark said we are proposing that we share the proposed high level scenarios in the February meeting. Then during the March Face-to-Face meeting, we would review and discuss the scenarios for CLEC input and add CLEC benefits. Mark asked if that would work for everyone.

Kim Isaacs – Integra said that would work.

Jeff Sonnier - Sprint questioned the CR title that said EDI instead of XML.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that is because the CR was issued back in 2003.

08/15/12 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said that a Deferred List was included and that the two CRs on the list, SCR063003-02 and SCR112003-03, would be moved to Evaluation status.

8/7/07 E-mail from Eschelon

Lynn,

Since the LOA is larger than Qwest even allows for in a single release now, and we would need to reevaluate the CR and the LOA, you can place this CR in a deferred status for the time being.

2/16/05 CMP Systems Meeting - IMA 18.0 Candidate Discussion

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that they we are working through other processes to accommodate this request. Bonnie requested that the CR remain open and that it is a low priority for Eschelon.

7/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that this is a medium low for Eschelon due to the LOE and that other CRs address some of the issues as well.

3/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

See AI021904-08 Testing Scenarios

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we met internally and intend to meet again at the end of March. Connie said that once the internal meetings are held, we would schedule an adhoc meeting after 15.0 with the CLEC Community to discuss the testing scenarios.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest discussed the 3rd item on the open issue tab of the project plan. Connie stated that we have talked off-line with Eschelon to discuss an alternative solution to SCR063002-03 Develop Test capability in GUI to allow testing before major and point releases. Connie stated that the test time is currently built into the LOE. Connie stated that we could begin by adding items the CLECs would like to see in regression testing. Connie said that we could look at examples such as blocking and hunting. Connie also stated that we could look at a small subset of scenarios and have an adhoc call to determine if the scenarios are those that the CLECs want tested. Connie stated that the tests would be marked as pass/fail and if the test does not pass, a CR would be created. Connie said that when you get this close to a release, we event notify that the release is going in with a bug. Connie said that this is not common but it does happen. Connie said that it would not be just for CLEC Test cases but all cases. Connie said that we would communicate on the CLEC Test cases if we were implementing the release with a bug Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she appreciates Qwest looking at alternative solutions to this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest will schedule an adhoc call within the next two or three weeks.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this request would require a GUI to mimic the SATE environment and that documentation would be updated. Connie stated that if this request is voted in, the release date will be moved out a month for the 15.0 Release because of the new process on the front end. Connie also noted that the other item around this request is that it will require quite a lot of resources to support the new environment. She stated that to support this new environment Qwest estimates that 10,500 hours would be utilized. These hours would be taken from the release hours going forward. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest currently draws from the total hours for SATE. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the hours would be drawn from the IMA hours and the SATE hours are currently absorbed. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the 10,500 hours is above and beyond what it would take to implement. Connie Winston/Qwest said that yes, the hours would be per release, initial implementation has it’s own LOE of 1250 to 2050 hours. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other comments or questions. There were no other comments or questions.

Kim Isaacs/Echelon stated that this CR was the highest for them. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LOE for implementation was 1250 to 2050 and SATE hours of 2760 to 4600. She also stated again that the CR would require 10,500 out of every release.

7/10/03 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon, Kim Isaacs - Eschelon, Sharon Van Meter - AT&T, Stephanie Prull - McLeod, Lynn Notarianni - Qwest, Pat Bratetic - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Requested (Description of) Change Eschelon is requesting Qwest Develop test capability in the GUI to allow testing before major and point releases. Currently Qwest offers SATE testing for EDI, Qwest should offer similar testing in the IMA GUI. Pat Bratetic - Qwest asked if Eschelon could provide information on SBC's testing process. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon stated that SBCs GUI releases are flash cuts and that they provide Eschelon the opportunity to have test data bases in LSR submission. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon stated that the GUI test window is open one month prior to the release date. Five test orders can be submitted a day. Test scenarios are developed and there is a daily conference call with your assigned point of contact during the testing period. Kim also stated that any identified defects are corrected prior to the release or there is a mutually agreed upon workaround. Kim stated that the daily calls are with individual CLECS and their assigned point of contact, not with the CLEC Community. Lynn Notarianni - Qwest asked when test cases needed to be submitted.. Kim said that the window is 1 week in advance. Pat Bratetic - Qwest asked asked if the test cases received FOCs or rejects. Kim said that test cases do receive FOCs. They do drop out of flow through and the SME in the center reviews to determine whether they could complete and process. Lynn N. asked what the process associated with defect tickets. Kim stated that the fix was done prior to the release and if there is a workaround everyone has to agree on the workaround. Lynn N. asked if a change had ever been backed out of a release and Kim said that no change was ever backed out of a release. Lynn N. said that the goal would be to keep with the schedule release. Lynn N. asked if Pre-Order and Order were impacted and Kim said yes. Lynn N. asked if this process was documented and Kim said that it is on the website as of approximately December 2000. Lynn N. asked if this was an optional and Kim said that it is optional and is similar to the EDI process. Pat B asked how many cases could be submitted per day and Kim stated that 5 per day could be sent and everything is reviewed daily.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted It was confirmed that the interface impacted is the IMA GUI.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation

Establish Action Plan Eschelon will present this CR in the August Monthly Meeting. Action item discussed in CMP Monthly Meeting- excerpt from June 19, 2003

AI050603-01 Testing in the IMA GUI (originated by Eschelon) Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that there have been some discussions and stated that a CR will need to be opened in order to change CMP language. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a lot of time has been spent looking at this and stated that every option would be very expensive, to create a new environment. Connie stated that Qwest can offer a slightly longer window on Sunday and noted that fixes would need to be scheduled. Connie stated that Qwest does patches in the first week, when we can. Connie stated that there is a candidate in 14.0 that will create a table and should provide some relief. Connie stated that if we open the window, and put in that CR, there seems to be things we could work on that we would make the week after a release less painful. Connie stated that those are the options we could come up with without creating a new environment. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she appreciates that it is a large effort, as Eschelon has just had a GUI upgrade with SBC. Bonnie noted that SBC does have a test environment that was very beneficial. Bonnie stated that part of the problem is with Event Notices, communication, and rejects. Bonnie stated that most things are fixed quickly. Bonnie stated that the problem in 12.0 applied a hunting edit so it would no longer accept an alpha character. Bonnie stated that this is an excellent example of people not talking to each other. Bonnie stated that for instance, HTZ is needed for circular hunting. Bonnie stated that there are cases where we got rejects using the workarounds. Bonnie stated that this is impacting to the business. Bonnie noted that the 12.0 problems did not get fixed until 13.0 and that is not acceptable. Bonnie stated that trouble ticket 56162 is because the CLECs have to mark for manual handling and then has to manually type the order. Bonnie stated that there needs to be some language around timelines, in getting defects fixed, so the CLECs don’t have to work manual processes for 6 month’s. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T gives their support. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if details on SBC’s process could be provided, to better understand what you’re looking for. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that the GUI test window is open one month prior to the release date, you develop test scenarios, and there is a daily conference call with your assigned point of contact during the testing period. Kim stated that any identified defects are corrected prior to the release or there is a mutually agreed upon workaround. Kim stated that the daily calls are with individual CLECS and their assigned point of contact, not with the CLEC Community. Sue Stott/Qwest asked if each CLEC provides test scenarios prior to the test. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated yes and stated that there are established dates. Kim stated that test accounts are then provided to the CLEC. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if it is a protected test environment. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated yes, there is a separate URL for the test database and you sign on with a test user id. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a test environment has been discussed as a possible option because we cannot be in production environment for testing. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that it would be a large cost to Qwest, but asked if the benefits would outweigh the costs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest can certainly look at that but it would require a CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would submit a CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it would help to have the detail of what the expectations would be on a CR. Sue Stott/Qwest asked if the CLEC submits the test scenarios. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated yes, and stated that they have published dates as to when to submit those test scenarios, what the cutoff date is, and the date the scenarios are returned. Kim stated that the timelines are all outlined. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if Eschelon could provide an idea of the volume of test scenarios. Lynn asked if it is typically a regression test, or a test of new functionality. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that typically it is regression testing, but new functionality is also tested. Kim stated that there were 12 test scenarios in the past release with SBC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that one scenario could touch several pieces of functionality. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated yes, that is correct. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would look for a systems CR to be submitted. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this action item would be closed upon receipt of Bonnie’s CR. There were no additional questions or comments.

Kim Isaacs Integra

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR063003-02, entitled “Develop test capability in GUI to allow testing before major and point releases. Currently Qwest offers SATE testing for EDI, Qwest should offer similar testing in the IMA GUI”.

CR Background: This CR was submitted in 2003 and an LOE was provided. Through the prioritization process, the CLEC community considered the CR for implementation from 2003 through 2007. In 2007, the CR was then placed into a Deferred status. In August 2012, CenturyLink requested a review of all Product/Process and System Deferred CRs to determine if the CRs were still valid. Integra requested CenturyLink recalculate the LOE for this CR. Instead, the CenturyLink SME team developed options for Integra to consider as an alternative to development of a new test database/environment for testing the IMA GUI prior to a release installation. During the March 2013 CMP meeting, CenturyLink and participating CLECs reviewed the IMA GUI test scenario options. After consideration and discussion with members of the CLEC community, Integra has chosen to consider the IMA GUI testing option to conduct the 1st Look at Production following an IMA release installation on Monday. In addition, that IMA GUI testing option will provide some capability to input test data into the 1st Look at Production environment though that functionality may not always be used.

With this agreement on the revised deliverable for this CR, CenturyLink will be developing an approach on how this deliverable can be implemented. Once the revised 1st Look approach/test data process can be agreed upon with the Integra and CLEC community, CenturyLink will send out a notification to inform the full CLEC community. If this can occur by August 2013, CenturyLink proposes that the solution become effective with the IMA Release 35.

Description Of Change

Qwest should make the necessary updates to CEMR to allow interaction with SCR071603-01 titled Virtual Customer Service Record for Resale POTS and UNE-P Services (when implemented). Qwest’s virtual CSR CR was prioritized high and will most likely be implemented in the IMA 15.0 release. Qwest has made several attempts to increase CEMR use among the CLEC Community. Eschelon has communicated to Qwest on several occasions the main roadblock for opening a repair ticket with Qwest in CEMR is account ownership. If Qwest records do not show the CLEC as the owner of the account, the CLEC is unable to use CEMR to open a repair ticket. Qwest should make the necessary changes required, to use the virtual CSR (when implemented) to reduce the time Qwest takes to show account ownership after a conversion.

10/29/03 CR Revision - CEMR update to use the most current ownership data to perform ownership checks. The present CEMR ownership check does not take into account very recently completed order activity - orders completed within the last couple of days. Eschelon would like CEMR to take into account recently completed order activity along with its current ownership check.

9/26/03 Adhoc Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Dan Busetti/Qwest, Justin Sewell/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest, Cathy Garcia/Qwest

The purpose of this meeting was to request additional clarification from Eschelon regarding this request. Dan Busetti/Qwest asked Eschelon to provide additional detail on what problem they were encountering to prompt this request. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that their business need is to be able to use CEMR as a means on conversions instead of calling in a ticket. Dan said that the capability is their today, that a ticket can be opened. Bonnie said that they don't get the full CEMR functionality and when they do open up the ticket, the owner is not provided and they end up having to call the ticket in. Bonnie also said that she would be willing to withdraw this CR if they could request the MLT test prior to ownership. Dan said that the MLT portion of Eschelon's request will be fixed with an existing Covad request (SCR061303-01 Access to MLT Post Order Placement - Pre Order Completion). This CR is requesting that Qwest provide access to MLT during the provisioning process. Covad is requesting the access to MLT during Post Order and pre delivery of a loop in order to enable Covad to determine such things as loop length and line condition. This will eliminate unnecessary calls into Qwest and allow for an increase in the quality of the provisioning process for the Wholesale customer. Bonnie asked if Qwest would consider adding the functionality they are requesting on this CR to SCR061303-01without an impact to the Covad LOE. Dan said that he would research Bonnie's request and provide an update in the October CMP Systems meeting.

Description Of Change

Eschelon requests Qwest the sunset date by 90. If Qwest cannot extend the 12.0 sunset date by 90 days, Qwest will communicate how many days Qwest can extend the date by. Eschelon is moving to 14.0 and in addition to moving to the 14.0 release is undergoing an internal system upgrade. The date of the two releases is closely tied (with the internal system upgrade before the 14.0 implementation) and allows Eschelon no time to react if critical issues arise with our internal upgrade

Qwest will extend the sunset for 12.0 for 90 days. If Qwest is unable to extend the sunset for 12.0 for 90 days, Qwest will communicate how long it can extend the 12.0 sunset for.

REVISION RECEIVED 9/24/03 from Eschelon - Qwest requested that CR be updated to reflect that Qwest will extend the sunset for 30 days.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the CR. Bonnie stated that Eschelon submitted an Exception CR requesting that Qwest extend the sunset date for 30 days. Bonnie said that she originally requested that the date for 90 days and was told by Qwest that it was only possible to extend for 30 days. Bonnie said that they need the date moved out because of an internal system upgrade. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest said that we would conduct the vote in this meeting. She said that Quorum was achieved with 7 Carriers. Lynn reviewed the following: A vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate a preference that SCR092303-01EX be treated as an Exception to the Change Management Process with the result that Qwest will extend the sunset date for the IMA 12.0 Release to March 20, 2004. A vote of ‘No’ will indicate a preference that SCR092303-01EX not be treated as an Exception to the Change Management Process and the IMA 12.0 Release sunset date will not be extended. There were no questions associated with the ‘Yes’ and No vote. Lynn stated that an operator is standing by to advise if any votes have been submitted via e-mail. Linda Sanchez-Steinke stated that none had been received so far and stated that a vote has been received earlier from Qwest. Lynn stated that Quorum was achieved with 7 Carriers. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon voted yes. Monica Avila/Vartec voted yes. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T voted yes. Judy Schultz/Qwest voted yes. Stephanie Prull/McLeod voted yes. Liz Balvin/MCI voted yes.

Description Of Change

REVISED 11/21/03:

Eschelon requests Qwest to implement a 25-page limit to view tickets in CEMR. Qwest should allow a CLEC the opportunity to review 25 pages of history of a ticket. Eschelon regularly has a need to view more than 10-pages of history of a single ticket in CEMR for resolution or analysis. The tickets that exceed the current 10-page limit are mostly likely the type of ticket that require analysis and/or closer attention to resolve. Because there is a 10-page limitation to the amount of pages that can be viewed, a CLEC may not be able to determine next steps for the needs of a customer or access the most basic of information such as, who opened the repair ticket because the current limitation allows only the most recent 10 pages of history and that data appears on the first page.

-----------------------------------------------------

Original Description:

Eschelon requests Qwest remove the 10-page limit to view tickets in CEMR. Qwest should allow a CLEC the opportunity to review the entire history of a ticket, without any limitations to number of pages. Eschelon regularly has a need to view the entire history of a single ticket in CEMR for resolution or analysis. The tickets that exceed the 10-page limit are mostly likely the type of ticket that require analysis and/or closer attention to resolve. Because there is a limitation to the amount of pages that can be viewed, a CLEC may not be able to determine next steps for the needs of a customer or access the most basic of information such as, who opened the repair ticket because the limitation allows only the most recent 10 pages of history and that data appears on the first page.

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest will update CEMR to remove the 10-page limitation in CEMR. A CLEC needs the ability to review the entire history of a ticket.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that an Event Notification had been sent on January 6th and noted that a patch is scheduled for February 1st. Lynn asked if the CR could be closed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the CR could be closed.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that this CR was implemented on December 15th. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that there is an Event Notification on this CR, #517473. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there is a problem with printing history. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- COMMUNICATOR ISSUED: 11/26/03 EXCERPT - Per the CMP Exception vote held on November 24, 2003 for CMP CRs SCR111103-02EX, SCR111303-02EX, the CLECs and Qwest agreed to the following exception timeline: Draft Release Notes to be distributed 25 calendar days prior to prior to the Release Production Date, and the Final Release Notes to be distributed 18 calendar days prior to the Release Production Date. The date of the CEMR Release has been moved up to December 15, 2003. This notification reflects the revisions to timeline announced with notification SYST.11.20.03.F.01081.CEMRDrftRelNot which was distributed on November 20, 2003.

On November 27, 2003, Qwest will post the Final Release Notes, and CEMR OnLine Help (User’s Guide) to reflect the changes that will impact CEMR. These will be posted to the System Document Review Archive and Responses at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/reviewarchivesystem.html

Summary of Changes

SCR092303-02: Currently, CEMR allows the user to view the most recent 10 pages of history for a repair ticket. CEMR will be enhanced to increase the page limitation for View History of Ticket in CEMR to a 25 page limit. This will allow users to view the history of a repair ticket up to 25 pages in length.

The CEMR OnLine Help (User’s Guide) was modified on November 26, 2003 with these enhancements and is posted on the System Document Review Archive and Responses at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/reviewarchivesystem.html.

Training for CEMR can be found at the Qwest Wholesale Training web site located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/systems/cemrandrce.html. Training will be available to all External Customers and CLECs. To register for the training or to obtain a listing of available class offerings, locate the CEMR Hands On link in the catalog, then click on the registration link at the end of the row and follow the instructions.

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is hoping to get this CR in the December Release. Lynn stated that there would be a 25-page limitation and stated that it would capture all that the CLECs need. Lynn stated that the LOE has been revised to 80 to 100 hours. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if Eschelon would revise the CR to reflect the 25-page limitation, in order to prevent confusion, in the future. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon agreed to revise the CR but stated that she would like the original verbiage to be kept in the CR.

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon reviewed the CR description and stated that during the clarification call, Qwest agreed to look at the limitation. Bonnie stated that if the CLEC needs to look back to determine a root cause of the trouble reported, it is more problematic to have the 10-page limitation. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that his research found the most number of pages to be 18-pages. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest was also going to determine if a page limitation was even needed. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that a limitation is in fact needed and it looks to be 20 to 25 pages. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would determine, for the November CMP Meeting, what that limitation is and provide the Level of Effort. There were no additional questions or comments. The status of this CR remains in Evaluation.

Introduction of Attendees Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon, Stephanie Prull - McLeod, Dan Busetti - Qwest, Justin Sewell - Qwest, Cathy Garcia - Qwest, Jeanne Whisenant - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Description of Change Lynn Stecklein - Qwest reviewed the description of change. Eschelon is requesting that Qwest remove the 10 page limitation to view the history of the ticket in CEMR. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon stated that the Eschelon Engineer and the Eschelon analyst are attempting to analyze DS1s and DS3s tickets that are 'No trouble found' and 'Test okay' and are finding it difficult to do the analysis because of the 10 page limitation. Bonnie also stated that the Repair Service Bureau said that you can't even see who opened that ticket. Bonnie said that Eschelon does not want a manual process.

Discussion Dan Busetti - Qwest asked Eschelon how often that they are finding it necessary to see the additional history on the OSSLOG on the WFA - C ticket. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon stated that they are not requesting the history of the phone number. She said that they are only looking for the history of 1 CEMR ticket and they can't seem to get all of the information they need. Bonnie said that they have called the Help Desk and they say that is the way the system is supposed to work and any change to the system would require a change request. Bonnie stated that she felt that this request would impact 30% of the tickets. Dan Busetti/Qwest said that a decision was made based on analysis awhile back and that the 10 pages was a reasonable amount of data/history for the tickets. Cathy Garcia - Qwest if this request was applicable to non-design and design. Justin Sewell - Qwest stated that traditionally non-design tickets don't normally have 10 pages. Bonnie Johnson -Eschelon stated that she would like this request to address both non-design and design. Justin Sewell - Qwest asked if Eschelon wanted the information displayed in the current manner. Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon said that they have identified other minor navigational things in CEMR but for this request they want the information displayed in the same manner. Dan Busetti - Qwest asked if limitations were found in the system could we change the limitiation to 20 to 30 pages for example. Bonnie Johnson- Eschelon said that they could potentially look at that suggestion and asked if there was any way we could determine how many tickets are over the 10 page limitation. Dan Busetti - Qwest said that he did not think so but would do some research. Dan also asked Eschelon to provide any information, data or ticket numbers where they have encountered this limitation.

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted This change request is applicable to non-design and design services in CEMR.

Establish Action Plan Lynn Stecklein - Qwest stated that Eschelon will present this change request at the October 16, 2003 CMP systems meeting.

Description Of Change

4-7-2004 REVISED CR DESCRIPTION:

Qwest should update CEMR to allow a CLEC the ability to bond a message in CEMR on a non-design ticket when the initial commit time has passed. The CLEC needs the ability to electronically accept the next available commit time without an initial call to request one. Once the new commit time has been accepted by the CLEC, the CLEC then needs the functionality to bond a message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2-17-2004 Revised CR Description and Expected Deliverable:

Qwest should update CEMR to allow a CLEC the ability to bond a message in CEMR on a non-design ticket when the commit time has passed. Because the CLEC cannot bond a message on these tickets, the CLEC is forced to call Qwest repair to update the ticket. For examples, Qwest put Eschelon’s CEMR ticket number 0083128 in a NA statu .because the commit time had passed Eschelon called Qwest to remove the NA status and get the ticket moving again because Eschelon could not do so electronically, however, the ticket remained in NA status for three business days despite Eschelon’s verbal request to remove the NA status. CEMR does not allow electronic bonding when the ticket is in NA status so Eschelon has no record we requested to have the ticket removed from the NA status. This could delay Eschelon from resolving critical customer issues in a timely manner. This functionality does exist for design tickets. There are no unique circumstances for create a need for this functionality for design tickets but not non-design tickets.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLE:

Update CEMR to allow electronic bonding when the commit time has passed on a CEMR submitted repair ticket.

Project Meetings

November 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR deployed on October 10th and noted that the trouble ticket was fixed on October 24th. Jill then asked if the CR could be closed. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the CR could close.

- October 19, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR deployed on 10/10/05 and a trouble ticket has been opened. The bug fix is scheduled for 10/24/05. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

- September 21, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR will deploy on 10/10/05. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that she was notified late last night that there could be potential issues with the October releases and that since we were all meeting today she wanted to let everyone know that there was the potential that the release dates could slip. Jill advised that Qwest would send the appropriate system notifications if it is determined that the release date needed to change.

EXCERPT from Announcement Date: September 9, 2005 Effective Date: Immediately Notification Number: SYST.09.09.05.F.03263.CEMROctRelDrftRelNotice Notification Category: Systems Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CMP-CEMR System Change October 10, 2005 CEMR Release: Draft Release Announcement Associated CR Numbers: CLEC CR #: SCR100203-01

In conjunction with the CEMR system release targeted for implementation on October 10, 2005, Qwest is enhancing the application as outlined below.

Summary of Changes: SCR100203-01 Allow CLEC to bond a message in CEMR on a non design ticket when the error message is received that indicates that the commit time has passed:

Qwest will update CEMR to allow the ability to bond a message in CEMR on a non-design ticket when the initial commit time has passed. The CLEC needs the ability to electronically accept the next available commit time without an initial call to request one. Once the new commit time has been accepted by the CLEC, the CLEC then needs the functionality to bond a message.

Once a CLEC has found the trouble report needed, they will be able to edit it, cancel it, change the appointment time, or request a new commitment time. A CLEC will be able to change commitment times only for which the original commitment time has expired and if the trouble report is still opened. The CLEC will be able to view closed trouble reports for a day after they’ve been closed, but won’t be able to change commitment times.

Note: The above changes for SCR060204-01X and SCR100203-01 will be reflected in the final 2.08.00 CEMR Online Help on September 19, 2005 at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/reviewarchivesystem.html.

June 15, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that there has been a date change from September 5th to October 10th, for this CR due to synergies with SCR021104-01. Jill stated that SCR021104-01 has impacts to IMA and to CEMR, so the targeted CEMR CRs will all be deployed in the same release, on October 10th. Liz Balvin-Covad asked if the sign-on enhancement in 18.0 would be in IMA and in CEMR. Jill Martain-Qwest said yes. This Action Item is closed.

-- April 20, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest provided the September 5, 2005 targeted implementation date for this Change Request. This Action Item was Closed.

- April 28, 2004 Communicator Excerpt: Announcement Date: April 28, 2004 Effective Date: April 28, 2004 Notification Number: SYST.04.28.04.F.01616.CEMRApRelupdateHelp Notification Category: Systems Documentation Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CEMR April Release and Update Online Help Associated CR # or System Name and Number: CEMR

This notification is to advise you that the CEMR April Release was successfully completed on April 25, 2004.

Following is a summary of the changes that occurred with the deployment of this release: 2. The error message "A trouble ticket cannot be modified or cancelled if it is in CLEARED status, or if the modification is prohibited due to business rules" was modified to "A trouble ticket cannot be modified or cancelled if it is in CLEARED status, the commitment date/time has expired, or if the modification is prohibited due to business rules". This was also added to the section Maintain Non Design TN Problem in the topic Error Messages- Non Design Services, in the CEMR Online help

-- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LOE for the error message is 420 to 630 hours and is pending scheduling. This Action Item is closed.

-- April 8, 2004 Received Email from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Peggy, The revision is perfect! Bonnie J. Johnson Director Carrier Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

- April 7, 2004 Email Sent to Eschelon (Bonnie, Kim, Jeff): Good Afternoon, I have attached a copy of the revised CR for Allowing CLEC to Bond a Message. Please review the Revised CR Title and CR Description and advise if you agree with the revised language or advise what you would like changed. The CR also contains the meeting minutes from our April 1st Conference Call. Thank You, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

-- April 1, 2004 Conference Call: ATTENDEES: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Jeff Bellin/Eschelon, Kim Isaacs/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Curt Anderson/Qwest, Cathy Garcia/Qwest, Justin Sewell/Qwest, Dave Anderson/Qwest DISCUSSION: Curt Anderson/Qwest stated that Qwest cannot fully meet Eschelon’s originals request (dated October 2, 2003) but that Qwest would like to propose an option that may meet Eschelon’s need. Curt Anderson/Qwest stated that based on further research, Qwest does not have the capability to allow to bond a message after the commit time has lapsed. Qwest can offer the option that if a CLEC tries to update a ticket, the CLEC would get an error message saying that the commit time has passed and then Qwest would electronically provide the next available commit time. The CLEC can accept the new time, then will be able to bond a message. If the new time is not acceptable, the CLEC would then need to call Qwest, as they currently do. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said then I would get an error message that advises that I cannot bond a message. Bonnie asked Jeff if the only time that they would bond a message is when they are looking for a new commit time or are there other times. Jeff Bellin/Eschelon stated that was true, but sometimes need the functionality when they need to escalate. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked Jeff (Bellin) that if Qwest provides the next available time, would that prevent an escalation. Justin Sewell/Qwest stated that Qwest would need to work on the mechanism but it would be automatically triggered. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that if the updated commit time, in a non-escalated environment, would be the same as if they would place a call. Cathy Garcia/Qwest responded Yes, the CLEC would be offered the next available time. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated to Jeff (Bellin) that the CLEC would then be able to bond a message. Bonnie asked Jeff that if Qwest cannot implement the original request, is this solution acceptable to meet the need. Jeff Bellin/Eschelon responded Yes, and stated that with the current process, they may not even see the new commit time. Jeff said that this is a very good solution. Curt Anderson/Qwest Asked if the CR needed to be revised. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Qwest will be providing the CLEC with an electronic means to bond a message, so the CR should be ok. Bonnie stated that if Qwest would like the CR revised, she would revise it. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she could make the CR revisions and send the revised CR to the call participants for approval of the verbiage. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would like this CR in the next CEMR Release, after the April 25th Release. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that scheduling timeframes would need to be reviewed and stated that a status would be provided in the April Systems CMP Meeting. There were no further questions or comments.

- March 22, 2004 Email Sent to Eschelon: Hi Bonnie, As mentioned in last Thursday's CMP Meeting, We would like to discuss some options with you for SCR100203-01 (Allow CLEC to bond a message in CEMR on a non design ticket when the commit time has passed). Will you please provide me with your availability and I will schedule a call. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest does have some options to discuss with Eschelon and stated that a call would be scheduled with Eschelon. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon responded ok. The Action Item was Closed.

Attached is a copy of the revised CR, for your records.

Peggy E-R

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she has revised the CR and stated that the inability to bond a message is not due to the NA status, it is because the commit time has passed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would get the revision to the team and see what it looks like.

Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is: no new status.

There were no additional comments or questions.

February 17, 2004 Conference Call CR No & Title: SCR100203-01 Allow CLEC to bond a message in CEMR on a non design ticket when status is no access (NA) Introduction of Attendees: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Jeff Bellin-Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Dave Anderson-Qwest, Justin Sewell-Qwest, Roszan Jarman-Konkel-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Angela Stewart-Qwest

Conference Call Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest reviewed the CR History. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that thru Clarification Calls Qwest has indicated that Qwest could do this request. Bonnie stated that Qwest is now saying that the system is behaving as it should. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that he reviewed Eschelon’s tickets and stated that ‘the commit time has expired’ is not a clear message. Dave stated that Qwest has performed extensive testing and noted that a ticket in NA status will not prevent an update. Dave stated that a ticket passed commit time would prevent an update. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that is what Eschelon is requesting to change. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that there is currently no feature that will generate an event, even in DLEC. Dave stated that the log lines need to be looked at. Dave stated that the CLEC would see that there was a change but it does not state that the commit time had passed. Dave stated that it is also not clearly defined in LMOS. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that in CEMR, cannot bond if the commit time has passed and that is what Eschelon is requesting to change. Bonnie stated that Eschelon always needs to bond. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that the error message could be changed and stated that currently a business rule prevents an update. Dave asked that once a commit time has expired, the CLEC needs to act on it, but the CLEC needs the ability to update the ticket. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated yes, Eschelon wants the ability to update commit time without having to place a call. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon stated that a ticket is open active and the Eschelon log says no access to the prem and will dispatch in the morning. Jeff stated that he see’s that the commit time has expired and it comes back at 7 a.m.; all along the ticket is open active. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that is due to the commit time being renegotiated. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon asked what renegotiated means, since no one has talked to Eschelon. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that he could only see the person’s userid that updated the commit time and has no way of knowing what transpired on a phone call. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that there is no relationship, in LMOS, to the commit time and a no access. Curt Anderson-Qwest stated that the trouble ticket should be closed because the system is behaving as it was designed. Curt stated that Qwest now understands that Eschelon is requesting the ability to update a ticket, even when the commit time has expired. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that when the CR was opened, Eschelon didn’t understand the ‘commit time expired’ situation. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the description needs to focus on commit time instead of no access. Bonnie asked if that occurred, would the same problem be experienced as in ticket number 629162. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon stated that they need to be able to see the status and as long as they can bond a message, it does not matter what that status is. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the CR needed to be revised to reference the commit time. Dave Anderson-Qwest responded yes. Curt Anderson-Qwest confirmed that Eschelon’s request is the ability to bond when the commit time has expired. Curt Anderson-Qwest asked what should be done with the open tickets that relate to the NA status. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon stated that if Qwest closes them, Eschelon would re-open them. Curt Anderson-Qwest stated that there is no system bug that needs to be fixed, that this request is for new functionality. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon explained that the CR is currently asking for the ability to bond a message when the status is NA. Bonnie stated that is because Eschelon assumed that the NA was preventing the bond. Bonnie stated that the NA is not preventing the bond; it is due to the passed commit time. Bonnie stated that they could bond when the status is NA, unless the ticket was opened for a different reason. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon stated that ticket number 629162 is open active once the commit time has expired. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that just proved that the problem is not an NA status. Bonnie asked Jeff (Bellin) if he was agreeable to closing the tickets. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon responded yes. Curt Anderson-Qwest stated that he would like to review tickets that are not associated to bonding. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon stated that ticket 681763 is possibly a DSL issue. Jeff stated that Eschelon uses CEMR as much as they can. Jeff stated that their IT techs send tickets thru CEMR. Jeff stated that this one is noted as a possible IP problem and when the IP techs call to check, the get referred out to other departments, then ticket cannot be found. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she has another CR for DSL and that could solve that problem. Jeff Bellin-Eschelon stated that there could also be a voicemail issue as well. Jeff stated there is no open active ticket for TN. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that it should be logged under TN and kept open in CEMR. Dave Anderson-Qwest stated that his statement is not a solution but noted that what could be happening is that when a ticket is closed, the tech assigned a disposition and cause code that maps to a telecommunications standard called ‘referred out to a different department’. Dave stated that Qwest is using a standard message. Dave stated that process things could also happen and could map to a message being typed into a ticket. Curt Anderson-Qwest stated that ticket number’s 629315 and 680112 have work in progress; ticket’s 638936 and 654258 will be fixed in a patch. Patch date is to be determined. Curt Anderson-Qwest stated that since CEMR is behaving as is designed and new functionality is being requested, the trouble tickets would be closed. There was no dissent to close the tickets. There were no additional questions or comments.

- January 30, 2004 Email Sent to Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Good Morning Bonnie, The CR has been changed to a status of 'Presented'. Qwest is continuing to research this issue. I will open an external action item to provide a status at the February CMP Meeting. Have a good day. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems 303.382.5761

- January 30, 2004 Email Received from Bonie Johnson/Eschelon: Peggy, I would like this CR put back in an active status. Qwest said we should be able to do this and to open trouble tickets. The IT help desk keeps coming back to us saying you can't do this because the system does not allow you to. This is what we are trying to change. Let me know if another clarification call is required. Thanks, Bonnie J. Johnson Director Carrier Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

-- January 8, 2004 Email Received from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Peggy, This CR was put into a deferred status because Qwest said there was no systems work required and this should not happen. Even though Jeff, did provide an example where this happened before the commit time had passed. (he will provide another but Qwest will need to look at the ticket right away), the system appears to be working just the way the business rules are programmed, at least after the original commit time has passed. I am uncertain why Qwest was unaware of this when they told Eschelon this should not happen.

I would like this CR pulled out of deferred status and worked. In addition, I submitted this CR back on 10/2/2003 (over 3 moths ago) so Eschelon would appreciate Qwest working this CR in an expedited manner. Thanks, Bonnie J. Johnson Director Carrier Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

--Original Message-- From: Ward, Diana [SMTP:Diana.Ward@qwest.com] Sent:Thursday, January 08, 2004 10:57 AM To:jjbellin@eschelon.com Cc:Cox, Angie; Jarman-Konkel, Roszan; Sewell, Justin; Anderson, David R Subject:CEMR Error Importance:High

Jeff. The following is an explanation of the CEMR error: Client was having same problem on another ticket in deferred status - ticket # 0078189 - on phone # xxx-xxx-xxxx. It appears that in the current situation the commitment date/time was passed, hence per Business Rules further updates on the ticket are not allowed until a new commitment date/time is negotiated. This must be done manually (a phone call into the repair center). CEMR does indicate in transaction history that the transaction did fail with the following text: "Circuit ID: xxx/xxx/xxx - A trouble ticket cannot be modified or cancelled if it is in CLEARED status or if the modification is prohibited due to business rules." Development team is investigating to see if transaction history error message may be enhanced to include the past commitment date/time situation. Hopefully we can get the error message enhanced and further clarified. Diana

- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest noted that Qwest had run the examples that Eschelon had provided and had been unable to replicate the problem. She noted that there had been a couple of emails back and forth between Qwest and Eschelon and noted that it would be best if Eschelon were to open trouble tickets with the Wholesale Systems Help Desk if this should arise again. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she was fine with that but noted that she was not yet comfortable with withdrawing this CR until she has determined that no systems work is needed. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest does not want to lose sight of this CR and asked that the status be changed to Deferred. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that CR status would be changed to Deferred.

- December 15, 2003 Email Sent to Bonnie Johnson/.Eschelon: Hi Bonnie, Qwest has analyzed the examples that Eschelon provided in regard to this CR. We have been unable to recreate the problem and this looks to be a bug and not a system enhancement. It is requested that Eschelon open a trouble ticket and determine if this CR can be withdrawn at the December Systems CMP Meeting. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that when Qwest looked at this CR, it was determined that the requested functionality was already existing and working. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she has not heard that and stated that she had sent more than one example. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR would remain in Evaluation Status and that Qwest would look at the other examples to see if Eschelon’s issue is resolved. There were no additional comments or questions.

October 16, 2003 Received Email, with Example, from Eschelon: Hi Peggy, I told Dan yesterday that I had one example of being able to bond and another where we could not. Hope this helps! Bonnie J. Johnson Director Carrier Relations Eschelon Telecom, Inc.

Because a CLEC cannot bond a message on these tickets, the CLEC is forced to call Qwest repair to update the ticket. For examples, Qwest put Eschelon’s CEMR ticket number 0083128 in a NA status. Eschelon called Qwest to remove the NA status and get the ticket moving again because Eschelon could not do so electronically, however, the ticket remained in NA status for three business days despite Eschelon’s verbal request to remove the NA status. CEMR does not allow electronic bonding when the ticket is in NA status so Eschelon has no record we requested to have the ticket removed from the NA status. This could delay Eschelon from resolving critical customer issues in a timely manner. This functionality does exist for design tickets. There are no unique circumstances for create a need for this functionality for design tickets but not non-design tickets. Expected Deliverable that Qwest will update CEMR to allow electronic bonding when a CEMR submitted repair ticket is in a NA status." Confirmed Impacted Interface: CEMR Confirmed Impacted Products: Non-Designed Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the requested function is currently available for designed but not for non-designed. Bonnie stated that this request is for the functionality for non-designed. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that he tested the functionality for non-designed, with his own home TN, and stated that the functionality does exist. Dan asked if there was perhaps another glitch that could be preventing this from happening. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that her CEMR SME is claiming that the functionality currently does not exist. Bonnie paged John Bellen, into the call. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if there was a process differnece for a non-designed ticket. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that in the test, he opened a trouble ticket on a TN, put the ticket in NA status, then he went back into CEMR, the maintain screen, and added additional information. The ticket was then taken out of NA status. Dan stated that the back-end system created a subsequent and that is what takes it out of NA. Jeff Bellen/Eschelon stated that he tried several times and that he did not see it in the log. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that he may not see the comment it in the log. Jeff Bellen/Eschelon stated that he also did not see it get taken out of NA. Jeff staed that he would send TN example. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon is looking for a non-designed ticket, by TN, went into maintain screen, and is not seeing the added information and the ticket was not taken out of NA status. There were no additional comments or questions. Action Plan: Eschelon will present this CR at the November Systems CMP Meeting.

Description Of Change

CLECs require complete and timely information for CLEC initiated Qwest repair tickets. When a CLEC opens a ticket for designed services in CEMR, the CLEC is able to obtain and review the log notes (Qwest term is OSSLOG notes) in CEMR real time. However, when a CLEC opens a ticket for non-design services, log notes are not updated real time in CEMR like the designed service tickets. Though Qwest provides minimal information, in CEMR real time, the information provided does not allow a CLEC to appropriately update and status its customer. Instead a CLEC is forced to call Qwest repair to obtain the detailed information required to update the customer. Qwest should provide and the CLEC should be able to view the information in CEMR real time. The updated log notes sometimes take up to 10 to 12 hours to update. A CLECs customer cannot wait 10 to 12 hours for a detailed status on their repair. This is causing delays in the CLECs ability to provide needed information to our customers and causing unnecessary calls to the Qwest repair center.

Hi Bonnie and Julia,

We are in the process of creating requirements for the candidates in IMA Release 24. One of the candidates, SCR100903-01 Responsibility for chargeable USOCs, appears to have much work already done.

The initial description was: 10/29/03 Eschelon and McLeod jointly sponsor this CR. Currently CLECS are responsible for passing chargeable USOCs for Non Recurring Charges. Current examples are Additional Listings, Ani Swap Charges, Tagging the DMARC charges, etc McLeod USA is requesting that the CLEC no longer have to pass a chargeable USOC and that the Qwest flow through, billing, and service centers be responsible for applying the correct billing USOCs to the service order. This request is for Non recurring type charges or charges for directory listings.

We believe the requested functionality already exists for Additional Listings.

We need some clarification regarding what is meant by "ANI Swap". I have checked internally and no one is familiar with this process. Possibly we know this by different terminology. Can we get more information on this?

For Tagging the DMARC requests, NW1 or NW2 USOCs could only be added to service orders by Qwest via a remark in the Remarks section of the LSR to tag the DMARC. Since Remarks are free form, Qwest would be unable to flow these requests mechanically. The only way of accommodating this request would be to drop these requests for manual handling and implementing a process change that would require Qwest SDCs to add these USOCs to the service order. If this is something that Eschelon and McLeod want to pursue, it should be handled as a process change request rather than a system change request.

We also have existing functionality to add the Non Recurring USOCs for Intercept or Transfer of Calls and number change charges.

Thanks,

Lynn Stecklein Qwest Wholesale CMP

Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that IMA 23.0 is scheduled in April of 2008. Note: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon said that candidate number 7 - SCR121306-01 Enable the EOS Field on the Directory Listing Form is on the Commitment List for IMA 22.0. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that we will remove that candidate from the IMA 23.0 list. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the Prioritization Instructions and spreadsheet candidate list are included in this attachment. She stated that there are 11 candidates on the list. She said that Qwest and the CLEC ranks each CR on the list by providing a point value from 1 through 11. Peggy said that the highest point value (11) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented first. The next point value (10) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. The lowest point value (1) should be assigned to the least desired CR. Peggy stated that the total points will be calculated by the Qwest CMP Manager and the results will be distributed to the CLECs via mailout within 2 business days following the submission of the ranking. Peggy reviewed the timelines associated with prioritization: - Qwest Re-Distributes the Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 20th - The Completed Prioritization Form will be submitted to cmpcr@qwest.com by 5 pm MT on August 23rd. - Qwest e-mails the Initital Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 27th. - Peggy asked if everyone would like to provide their top 2 candidates. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that their top candidate is #9 SCR062906-03 Allow End State Ordering for Resale POTS Service. Integra – no response Jeff Sonnier-Sprint said that he would send an e-mail with this information. Note: 8/17/07 - E-mail received from Sprint with top 2 candidates: 1. Change of usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders 2. Allow NP Bus Name on Residential Account TDS – no response Verizon Business – no response Sue Wright-XO Communications stated that she had nothing to share. Janet Harper-Bresnan Communications stated that she did not have anything to share.

3/3/04 Additional Clarification Call

Attendees: Steph Prull - Eschelon, Kim Isaacs - Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson - Eschelon, Conrad Evans - Qwest, Denise Martinez - Qwest, Lee Gomez - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Discussion:

Denise Martinez - Qwest asked if this request requires both mechanical and manual support for the application of these non-recurring charges.

Stephanie Prull - Eschelon stated that they want both and said that if it did not flow through they would want manual.

Denise Martinez/Qwest asked does the request specify Facility Based Listings and stated that our current and any previous processes do not require any USOCs to be passed for Facility Based Listing requests. Denise asked if they still feel that listings are an issue we need examples. Denise stated that we can definitely provide the non-recurring charges for requests other than Facility Based Listings.

Stephanie Prull - Eschelon stated that they have examples.

Denise Martinez/Qwest said that she wanted to share that because the CLECs have requested this functionality when Qwest applies these non-recurring charges, there will be no PIA entry provided to indicate a difference between what was requested vs. what was ordered.

Steph Prull/Eschelon said that as long as they knew and could build business rules around those entries.

Denise Martinez/Qwest said that the request mentions tagging the DMARC and asked if it was for Unbundled Loop only or other products. Denise stated that Unbundled Loop does not require USOCs be passed and that the existing process calls to mark as MH (Manual Handling) and enter a Remark regarding tagging.

All Products will be noted on this request.

Description Of Change

Currently 14.0 is due to sunset on 10/19/2004. 16.0 release date is 10/18/2004. This will cause EDI clecs to do a flashcut to the new version if they have not moved to 15.0 already. This puts a resource burden on not only the CLEC, but Qwest.

Expected Deliverable:

Eschelon requests that version 14.0 sunset no earlier then 12/12/2004.

This is Phase 1 of the Adjustment Recognition request. Phase one deployed on December 6, 2004 and all functionality, with the exclusion of the Circuit ID/TN, was deployed on the 12/6/04 date. Please see SCR030105-01 for Phase 2 of Adjustment Recognition for the Circuit ID/TN portion of the request.

--------------------------------------------------------

Currently Qwest adjustments appear with only the date that Qwest issued the adjustment, a description such as 'credit adjustment' and the amount. When Eschelon submits a dispute, Qwest requires the bill date of the disputed amount, the USOC and/or the description of the disputed amount, the TN or CKT ID of the disputed amount and the amount in dispute. Qwest should return the same information (we supply) on its adjustments. Without the bill date, TN or CKT ID and USOC it is extremely time consuming and sometimes impossible to determine what Qwest is adjusting. Many times Eschelon has to contact Qwest for the needed information. Sometimes even Qwest can not determine what the adjustment was for. Eschelon requests that Qwest return the same information Eschelon supplies on its disputes i.e. the bill date, the USOC (or description, if a USOC is not applicable) and the TN or CKT ID on all adjusted amounts that appear on any of Qwest’s bills including the BillMate Adjustment file.

Expected Deliverables - Qwest will include all the information Eschelon supplies on a dispute i.e. the bill date, TN or CKT ID and USOC (or description) on all adjusted amounts that appear on any of Qwest’s bills including the BillMate Adjustment file.

3/1/2005 Related Change Request SCR030105-01 for Phase 2 of Adjustment Recognition, Circuit ID/TN portion of the original request. 

Project Meetings

February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston-Qwest stated that this response is for part 2 of the CR, which is the Circuit ID portion. Connie stated that we ran up against the same exact problems for the circuit ID changes; which include new fields, and has all the same issues that have been previously discussed on other CRs. Connie stated that the cost for part 2 of this CR, the circuit ID, is over $1,300,000 and stated that this portion is denied due to the cost. Jill Martain-Qwest stated that this is a partial denial, as all but the circuit ID portion was deployed. Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the response took this long because Qwest explored every path and we simply cannot find a way to make this work. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she was happy with the part that was deployed but that not implementing the circuit ID portion creates extra work. Kathy stated that if there are 20 of the same USOC that should be adjusted, and only 19 are Eschelon, cannot identify which 1 still needs to be adjusted without making a phone call to Qwest. Kathy asked how the status would be shown for this CR. – Comment to notes received from Eschelon 2/22/05 Jill Martain-Qwest stated that the CR would close in Completed status and that the notes would reflect the information regarding the denial. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon would like the CR split into the 2 pieces. Jill Martain-Qwest stated that we would check into the splitting of this CR.

- December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest is still looking at options and the CR remains in Evaluation. There were no questions or comments.

-- November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest said that this CR would go back to an Evaluation Status once Phase 1 is complete on 12/6/04. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked what was included in Phase 1. Jill Martain/Qwest said that Phase 1 included all but the TN and CKT ID.

- October 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR, except for the circuit id portion, is targeted for deployment on December 6, 2004. This Action Item is Closed.

-- August 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the circuit information piece was separated out and that all other requested information is funded and we are targeting implementation in the 4th quarter. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if there would be no circuit id or would it be as it is now showing on the bill. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the circuit id information would not change in 2004, that it would be the same as the CLECs currently see it.

- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Susie Bliss/Qwest provided status on funding for billing CRs. Susie recapped the CRs and the order in which the CLECs ranked each CR in the ranking session. 1) SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition (originated by Eschelon) 2) SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN (originated by AT&T) 3) SCR0121102-01 Capability to request suppression of the paper Summary Bill except the summary page (Originated by Eschelon 4) SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files (originated by McLeod) 5) SCR121603-01 Only show the actual circuit ID on all billing media in the Eastern Region (originated by Qwest) 6) SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill (originated by Cbeyond) Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that she did not know if we would be moving forward on CR#6 SCR1120030-03 due Stephan Calhoun leaving Cbeyond. Susie said that she has two action items to complete before taking the issue up the ladder again. Susie said the 1st action item is to meet with the billing center to determine all the business benefits and the 2nd action item is to work with the Compliance Team to understand which CRs we may be obligated to meet. Susie said that she is hoping that by next week we will know which CRs will go down the obligation path, the CRs that require business cases, and which CRs will be denied. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she was surprised that Qwest was only to this point on this issue. Liz said that she understands Qwest is working on behalf of the CLECs and needs to understand why we are only this far in this process. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that SCR112303-02X Adjustment Recognition is the most expensive to implement. Susie said that if this CR was submitted today, it would have been denied upfront. Susie said that on billing and repair CRs each CR is looked at on an individual basis and needs funding approval. Susie said that this won’t change in 2005. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she wished she would have known that SCR112303-02X was causing Qwest a headache. Liz said that they could have been driving other CRs. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that based on what she knows today that #2 SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN (originated by AT&T) and #3 SCR0121102-01 Capability to request suppression of the paper Summary Bill except the summary page (Originated by Eschelon) should be implemented in 2005. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she thought we were looking to implement by the end of 2004. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if Qwest expected any movement at all in 2004. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we talked about pulling some CRs out of scheduled releases but IT advised against that. Liz Balvin/MCI said that Qwest has not yet run this issue up the chain. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the funding request went up the chain and then back down the chain. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if Qwest had any releases scheduled in 2005. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she has not seen the OSS schedule yet. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Retail was getting enhancements in 2004. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that she could not speak to Retail’s schedule. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she thought the CLECs ranked the CRs to get them implement by end of year. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that the plan was to start the funding process and to get the CRs implemented as soon as we could. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she thought that a few months ago that Qwest was running this up the chain and now it appears that none of these CRs will be implemented. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that there were questions that had to be answered before moving forward and we also wanted to validate the LOEs to determine if they could possibly be lowered. Susie also said that with additional research, we were able to lower the LOE on SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN (originated by AT&T). Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest was fighting for the 5 CRs mentioned earlier. Susie Bliss/Qwest said yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest would be providing the number of hours and the number of releases. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we are not obligated to provide X amount of hours for Billing and CEMR CRs. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI has been clear that if we are competing for resources we need to prioritize. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that MCI has been clear and that Qwest will provide a letter stating our position. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if we are equivalent to Retail and Qwest has a 271 obligation, MCI would like to see it in writing. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that in the past we have not provided a set number of hours on Billing and CEMR. Comment from Eschelon 7/30/04 - Liz Balvin/MCI said that it’s because there was no resource issue. Liz stated that Qwest should have invoked the prioritization process as outlined in CMP Redesign. Comment from Eschelon 7/30/04 - Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked if there would be a resource issue if the 5 CRs were approved for funding in 2005. Stephanie asked to have clarification of how that process worked. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that she was 95% sure that if funding was approved, there will not be a resource issue. Susie said that she is 95% sure if funding is approved that the CRs will be implemented and that there is no difference in Retail. John Berard/Covad asked if funding is done annually. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that IMA funding is annual and Billing and Repair is done as needed by individual CR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they will wait for the response from Qwest on their position. Jill Martain/Qwest asked if there were any other questions and there were none.

-- May 19, 2004 Trial Ranking for Billing CRs - Ad Hoc Meeting Minutes Meeting Start Time: 2:00 p.m. MT

Purpose The purpose of the Ad Hoc Meeting was for Qwest to provide the additional information requested by the CLECs at the May 13, 2004 ad-hoc meeting and for the CLECs to rank the 6 Billing CRs.

Attendees Liz Balvin-MCI, Ron Stanker-AT&T, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, John Berard-Covad, Lori Mendoza-Allegiance, Terri Kent-AT&T, June Kornett-AT&T, Emily Baird-Popp Telecom, Wayne Hart-Idaho PUC, Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Matt Connelly-Birch Telecom, Candy Davis-Covad, Kathy Stichter-Eschelon, Jennifer Arnold-USLink, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Susie Bliss-Qwest, Sue Kriebel-Qwest, Brenda Kerr-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest

Meeting Minutes Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest reviewed the purpose of the meeting and stated that the Billing CR’s that are eligible for ranking are: SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Bill Except the Summary Page SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Qwest and the CLECs are trialing the process for the billing requests, that require funding, to rank them by your level of importance.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that some Billing CRs have already been targeted and funded. Susie stated that for those billing CRs that have not been funded, we need to determine which CRs need to go forward for funding.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the original discussion was why the prioritization process was not automatically invoked based on the CMP process. Liz stated that IMA was the only impacted system and she is now hearing that the CLECs need to tell Qwest which CRs are important to the CLECs in order for Qwest to fight internally to see which CRs get prioritized.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that we need to rank the CRs for funding approval, not to get prioritized.

John Berard-Covad asked if the ones identified as the most important would be implemented.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest would then need to write mini business cases for the CRs in order to go for funding approval.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that these billing CRs impact the CLECs and that Qwest is saying that Retail is resources are competing for system changes. Liz stated that she would like to see the CLECs have an allotted set of hours for billing. Liz stated that we should collectively say what should get done. Liz stated that item 1 would not be voted in if they knew that they only had 4000 hours.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that the CLECs need to tell Qwest what is important to the CLECs so Qwest can try and get the funding. Susie stated that Qwest no longer has an open checkbook and noted that Judy (Schultz-Qwest) had previously stated that fact.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that there are 2 items to address. Bonnie stated that the first item is the process going forward starting in 2005. Bonnie stated that Qwest needs to meet internally and decide what that process could look like. Bonnie stated that the second item is that we need to look at the 6 CRs that are currently on the table so Susie (Bliss-Qwest) can try for funding. Bonnie stated that Susie may not get any funding. Bonnie stated that the CLECs need to tell Qwest what is important to the CLECs so Susie can attempt to get funding.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she does not have an issue with the previous discussion but that she is not comfortable that Qwest will get the funding. Liz asked who Susie was fighting with for the funding, both Wholesale and Retail.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Retail uses the same funding process and it also goes up the latter. Susie stated that Qwest knows that Qwest has an obligation and understands the legal requirements for Qwest to not impede the CLECs ability to compete and do business. Susie stated that Qwest needs to know which CRs are impeding the CLECs ability to compete and which ones are nice-to-haves.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that Qwest is still making the decision.

John Berard-Covad stated that this is the current process and not the going forward process.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if all the CRs that have funding approved would be implemented in 2004.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest is working towards that but is still looking at scheduling.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that some CRs that are funded may have work to continue and carry over into the first few weeks of 2005 and noted that should be okay.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the CLECs do not know what the Qwest scheduling is or where it is. Liz stated that the CLECs are truly competing for the Qwest resources so they need to have input. Liz stated that the CLECs are not able to fight that battle, Susie (Bliss-Qwest) fights it.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked if we were going to discuss the 2005 process.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the process needs to first be developed, then communicated.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that when this was discussed in redesign, it was not inclusive to IMA. Liz stated that she needs to know how the CLECs get to provide input. Liz stated that the IMA process should be the process for Billing.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that prioritization takes place only if the capacity is exceeded.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that there are more CRs than can be implemented. Liz stated that it could be the same as IMA in the background and the CLECs just don’t see that. Liz stated that years ago, Qwest was building an entire billing system (4P) and now, 2-years later, it is gone. Liz stated that Qwest received a new CFO and 4P stopped. Liz stated that she now understands and feels better.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that the 6th CR, SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN, has not been formally presented so she would like to present it at this meetinf and could provide a recap at tomorrow’s Systems CMP Meeting.

SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that one of the questions that Qwest needs to respond to is why this CR is a systems CR and not a process change. Sue stated that a process change would require no systems input and in order to track the information that is not currently tracked, there is systems work involved. Sue stated that an example of information not currently tracked is the bill date. Sue stated that if the data is not in the system, the data cannot be obtained. Sue stated that the requested functionality does not currently exist. Sue stated that currently, there is not a field to allow the information to be in the systems in order to carry it thru to the output. Sue stated that bill date information is not stored in the system but noted that it is captured for bill output. Sue stated that back-end billing systems need to create the data for extraction to the bill.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked for which bills and asked if for all.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated is for all electronic media and the paper bill. Sue stated that this would be a benefit to all CLECs.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the problem or business need is that there is a spreadsheet passed back and forth and there is no way to validate it. Bonnie stated that the CLECs don’t ever know what is being credited and they need to know what a credit is for.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that this CR builds on to AT&Ts CRs for CABS/BOS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked how this CR is different from the AT&T CRs.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the bill date was not requested to be returned on the adjustment. Sue stated that USOC level information is not captured in order to go thru the systems. Sue stated that the output media is ready for the Telecordia systems but not for EDI, ASCII, or the paper bill.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if it would be down to the level of detail. Bonnie stated that Eschelon disputes a USOC on the Summary Bill for 25 of them. The Qwest Billing group says that the credit is for 20 of the 25. Bonnie asked if the CLEC would then know which 20 are being credited. Bonnie stated that the CLEC needs to provide the detail to Qwest but then Qwest does not provide it back.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that piece is a process change. Sue stated that Qwest can do at the sub level or the Summary level.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that this is good conversation because maybe there is a different way to do this.

Sue Krieble-Qwest stated that the EXCEL Spreadsheet contains the TNs.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that it does not always show-up the same way on the bill. Kathy stated that she realizes that mistakes can be made but they cannot validate what was actually credited. Kathy stated that the CLEC needs to try and figure out what was adjusted and credited.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that if this were to be at the sub account level, would it then be a process change only.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest responded no, because the system still would not have the from and thru date information or the USOC. Sue stated that the detail is currently not captured in order for the CLEC to see at the summary or sub account level.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if it could be done, it’s just that it cannot be retrieved from the system.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked if this woild provide the WTN or the circuit ID at the sub account level.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it would not if there were multiple TNs. Sue stated that the information is needed to be input for the adjustment.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked how Qwest verifies that the adjustments are accurate and asked if it was a manual process.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the SDCs input into the system, BOS/CARS or IABS. The SDCs then pull reports but the detail is not on the reports.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked how Qwest validates that the adjustment is valid.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated if the question is regarding a dispute, that would be a separate discussion and a separate meeting from this ranking session.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that they need the ability to validate an adjustment.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that Qwest understands and agrees. Sue stated that the SDCs currently validate via a manual process.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that when they receive a credit, does the adjustment provide details.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated is generic because the from and thru dates are currently not captured. Sue stated that an Out of Service adjustment may contain details. Sue stated that it is manually input into BOS/CARS.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked that when Qwest evaluated this CR, was it to update the systems to house the information or to pull data in order to provide the date to the CLECs.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated to input into BOS/CARS in order for the system to pass information through to the billing systems, for media output.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if the information was currently housed somewhere, to grab it from, without changes to the back-end systems.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the billing system would have to be aware of it thru the entire bill process or the bill output could be incorrect.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that this CR appears to be a benefit to Qwest and to the CLECs. Bonnie stated that they currently spend a lot of hours verifying adjustments. Bonnie stated that Eschelon goes to great lengths to provide details to Qwest and it is appropriate that when the credit appears, that the CLECs know what the credit is for. Bonnie stated that it is a very manual process to validate the credits.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that Qwest does not argue that, we just need to get the data in the systems.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked how disputes are currently sent.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated by Billing Spreadsheets.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that if the information is provided by the CLECs, we need to think of the easiest way to capture the data.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that some CLECs have created a text file and noted that Qwest is not yet there.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if Qwest would be looking for other options, for this request.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she would check with her Business Partners but stated that she did not think that there were other options.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked if the LOE was for BOS/CARS.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the LOE is for capturing the data and carrying it thru for processing.

Brenda Kerr-Qwest stated that there are a lot of systems files but CRIS is the bulk of the estimate.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that this CR seems to be of high importance.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that it is very high for Eschelon.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this request is for all UBL products.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon responded yes.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked if any AT&T participants had any comments or questions. None were brought forward.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she does not know if all UBLs are billed out of CRIS and this is good information to know.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that all UBL via IMA LSR are billed out of CRIS. Connie stated that in QORA ASR, they are billed out of IABS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that was helpful information.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that there would be no restriction built in CRIS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if this would benefit Retail as well.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest responded yes.

John Berard-Covad asked if we were looking to get these 6 CRs ranked today.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that a big driver of prioritization is knowing if you can get 4 CRs for 20000 hours. Liz stated this could benefit the ranking process.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she currently has no dollars to say a number of hours.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition.

SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that this request is asking for CSR data on the bill. Sue stated that EDI does not have 811 series records for CSR data. Sue stated that the CLECs can get CSR via CABS output or via ASCII, but there is no EDI version of the CSR. Sue stated that if the CLECs want CSR data in the 811 records, Qwest would have denied this CR due to the fact that Qwest does not own the 811 records. Sue stated that the CSR data is on the CABS BOS file and it is currently available to them.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if it was available for all products.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated for UNE-P, UBL, and maybe for Line Sharing. Sue stated that there are some out of BOS, such as Centrex.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that Qwest could currently provide CABS format or ASCII format.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that this CR is for BOS BDT.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this would be a better CR if it asked for other products.

Connie Winston-Qwest responded if the CLECs wanted to re-LOE this CR.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this CR covered all UB Local.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that is not for LIS Trunking.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it sounds like CR is at the low end of importance.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill.

SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Summary Bill Except the Summary Page. Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that their Service Manager has suppressed all paper.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that they could currently select to suppress all paper or none of the paper.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon is asking for the Summary Page. Bonnie asked if this would apply to ASCII.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it is for the paper bill only.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the CLECs want the ability for the option to suppress if they want to, or if they want an all paper bill, they can continue to get it.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that as an FYI, there is a black diamond symbol in the top corner that tells you that you are at the end of the bill.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if Eschelon currently receives the Summary Page electronically.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that they did but noted that it is not always correct.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that EDI and BOS, or the paper, could be the bill of record. Sue stated that ASCII cannot be the bill of record.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon wants an accurate ASCII Summary Page.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that ASCII phase 2 was denied funding, as it was a very big effort. Connie stated that is why this CR was taken out of Deferred Status.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked Kim (Isaacs-Eschelon) for an estimate of the inaccuracy of ASCII.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she was told, by Alan Zimmerman (Qwest), that some have sub-totals or that totals are not carried forward to ASCII.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if it was fractionalizing.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she did not know.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the other CR was denied.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it was a Qwest originated CR and that it was very large, about 20,000 hours.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that if it was looked at as to how much Qwest spends on printing paper bills, would it be easier to sell.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest is supportive of this change.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if all UNE Loops were included and stated that she needs the product set for this CR.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it is for everything that is currently summary billed.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Summary Bill Except the Summary Page.

SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files Liz Balvin-MCI stated that this CR is of high importance to MCI.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Qwest should have to provide this.

There were no additional comments or questions for SCR071603-02 Bordertown Changes to Billing Files.

SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Qwest issued this CR for Eschelon, under duress. Bonnie stated that Eschelon has a CR for the correct circuit ID and asked for the status of that CR.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she knows that it is very, vary big and that it is still being evaluated.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the circuit ID should be consistent throughout the process.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest is not sure how the other CR would be split. Connie stated that Qwest needs to know how important this CR, SCR121603-01, was to the CLECs.

Candy Davis-Covad stated that they see bills via the BTN instead of the circuit ID.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that was a different issue. Connie stated that in the Eastern Region, there is zero filling of the circuit ID and noted that this CR is to remove the uniqueness to the circuit ID. Connie stated that this CR does not address BTN.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if the circuit ID is not passed.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it is stored in the unique way.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if with this CR, Qwest would remove the unique rules and would store the circuit ID correctly.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated yes and stated that it would always look right.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this was a functional change.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it would be for anytime there was a circuit ID.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked if this was for all output or only for ASCII.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it was for all output.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what Qwest’s position was on this CR and asked if this was also an impact to Retail.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she did not know if this would impact Retail.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Qwest currently has no position, at this point.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region.

SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN Carla Pardee-AT&T and Ron Stanker-AT&T presented the CR to the meeting participants. Ron stated that AT&T needs to verify the Qwest bills and asked to what extent do they get the WTN. Ron stated that they always need to know what the WTN is. Ron stated that they are looking at it nationwide. Ron stated that they need to validate the WTN and associated non-recurring charges.

Carla Pardee-AT&T questioned the LOE of 10,000 to 20,000 hours and stated that it seems to be extremely high.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the change would be in CRIS, so it may be all output. Connie stated that this was a quick LOE and noted that Qwest has not had enough time to devote to this LOE since it was needed so quickly after the Clarification Call. Connie stated that the broad range could mean that the billing team is nervous about this CR.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if Qwest bills for all WTNs that are associated to the Qwest BTN.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she did not have the details of the CR and noted that the CR is too new.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that this is #1 for AT&T.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if they currently have non-recurring charges identified at the WTN level.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she would have to check if they get it on ASCII.

Ron Stanker-AT&T stated that Qwest was not passing it and noted that Qwest did state, on the Clarification Call, that a change had gone into effect but stated that he has not had the opportunity to validate the bills yet.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that understanding the scope will help get a cleaner LOE.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she is seeing, on a UNE-P bill, WTN & BTN but not seeing on all.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it could depend on the condition.

Ron Stanker-AT&T stated that he needs to see on all.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that ranking would now occur for the following CRs: CR 1) SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition CR 2) SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill CR 3) SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Bill Except the Summary Page CR 4) SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files CR 5) SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region CR 6) SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon ranks as follows: 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that AT&T ranks as follows: 6, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2

Candy Davis-Covad stated that Covad has an interest in only CR 1.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that MCI ranks as follows: 1, 6, 4, 2, 3, 5

Jennifer Arnold-USLink stated that USLink ranks as follows: 1, 5, 4, 6 are the only ones of interest for USLink.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated Qwest ranks as follows: 1, 6, 3, 2, 4, 5

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest would tabulate the results and communicate those results at the next days Monthly Systems CMP Meeting.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the key is knowing if the change is being made in CRIS, then they know that it would make it to the CLECs.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the CLECs want the going forward process to look like IMA does and stated that she feels that the CMP document supports that.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that the going forward process would be researched.

There were no additional questions or comments. The meeting was adjourned.

May 13, 2004 Ad Hoc Meeting - Trial Ranking of Billing CRs Meeting Start Time: 1:00 p.m. MT

Purpose The purpose of the Ad Hoc Meeting was to initiate the trial process for ranking of the Systems CMP CRs for the Wholesale Billing Interface. The purpose of the ranking is for the CLECs and Qwest to rank the Billing CRs by order of importance.

Attendees Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Kathy Stichter-Eschelon, Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Emily Baird-Popp Communications, Maureen Carroll-Birch Telecom, Matt Connelly-Birch Telecom, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Nancy Sanders-Comcast, Jennifer Arnold-USLink, Liz Balvin-MCI, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Kit Thomte-Qwest, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Sue Kriebel-Qwest, Brenda Kerr-Qwest, Susie Bliss-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest, Michael Lopez-Qwest Meeting Minutes Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest reviewed the purpose of the meeting with call participants and stated that the Ad Hoc Meeting Notification included the spreadsheet containing the CRs to be discussed today and noted that the CR Detail is posted on the Wholesale web site.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that funding efforts are continuing but funds are limited. Susie noted that she still needs to send CRs for funding approval. Susie stated that Qwest would like to trial a process in order to help Qwest understand which CRs are important to the CLECs.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked how many hours the CLECs were limited to and noted that there are CRs that are 1.5 years old: SCR012103-06ES and SCR012103-04ES.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that SCR012103-06ES and SCR012103-04ES are on their way to obtaining targeted dates and have funding approved.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Covad had asked if CRs that have approved funding could be swapped out for CRs not yet approved. Susie stated that those CRs that are funded need to continue down their path. All agreed. Susie stated that SCR012103-06ES and SCR012103-04ES are just waiting for targeted dates.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what today’s call was trying to achieve.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that this is only a Trial.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the Ranking List that was sent was only an example, as it does not list all of the Billing CRs.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the Ranking List is a complete List, to date, of all the Billing CRs that are not yet funded or scheduled. Peggy stated that the CRs that have targeted implementation dates are not included in the list and are not to be included in this trial ranking exercise.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon said okay.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that items 1 thru 6 on the Ranking List need to be ranked and items 9 and 10 are on the list due to parity, as Liz (Balvin) had asked about Retail.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked if there was a process to prioritize CRs and stated that is where we should begin.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that there is not a process for Billing CRs and noted that this meeting was to start discussing how that would work.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she thought the LOEs would be provided today for the 2-CRs listed as LOE TBD.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that those LOEs are as follows: SCR112503-02X is 8000 to 12000 hours. SCR041204-01 is 10000 to 20000 hours.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked why SCR112503-02X (Adjustment Recognition) is not a process CR and asked how many hours are allocated to billing. Bonnie asked if Qwest has a certain amount of hours available and asked how many of the 6 CRs would have an opportunity for implementation.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that the 6 CRs need to be looked at and we need to make a case for funding. Susie stated that this is an evolving process.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked to confirm that no one has told Susie (Bliss) that she has 30000 hours for Billing and that she has to build a business case for getting funding approval because you have used-up your time for the year.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that it is not that all the hours have been used-up for this year; it is the fact that the funding approval process was put into place. Susie stated that these are all doable.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that unlike IMA, where the CLECs are given the Release dates and hours, Billing is a different process and will need to rank them on an ongoing basis.

Susie Bliss-Qwest responded yes, and noted that CEMR may also be looked at for a ranking process.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that CEMR Releases are already identified.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that they are but that the CEMR CRs also go through the same funding approval process; even though there are scheduled releases.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she and Liz were confused because they thought that there was going to be a number of hours for billing CRs. Bonnie stated that Susie (Bliss) said that this would be an ongoing process and that the challenge is that all CLECs have different billing processes.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that thru redesign, only IMA fell into prioritization because there were so many CRs competing for resources and other systems were not prioritized because Qwest just did them. Liz stated that she believes that where we are today is that we need to invoke the prioritization process. Liz stated that due to the limited resources and that there are so many CRs; Qwest cannot implement the CRs within a year.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she interprets resources to mean systems. Susie stated that CRs need to first be funded, and then the system’s team works on getting the CRs implemented.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that is not how prioritization works. Liz stated that in IMA, Qwest tells the CLECs how many hours are available in a release. Liz stated that when Qwest says that funding approval is needed, it is not for CRs. Liz asked how much Qwest will allow for CLEC CRs.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she understands that and stated that she can take that back for internal discussion. Susie stated that she does not know what she can do for 2004 and stated that realistically, this would be a 2005 thought. Susie stated that Qwest will still be receiving CRs, in addition to the 6 that we currently have that are not yet funded.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she understood from the last meeting, that for billing CRs in 2004, there would not be any more funding approved and what has been approved would be implemented in 2004. Bonnie stated that she thought that the gate was closed for 2004 and now she is hearing that it is not the case.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she does not know that the gate is closed until she tries. Susie asked the CLECs what they want her to try for.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the CLECs can tell Qwest what is more important but they need to know what is left, in hours, to go forward.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she would take that back.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that SCR112503-02X would benefit all CLECs.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that it looks like only #s 9 & 10, SCR030204-01 and SCR011504-01, will be implemented.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that they need to look at items 1 thru 6 and stated that items 7 thru 10 are going forward.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that item #5, SCR121603-01, should not be on the list and stated that Qwest should implement as SCRP.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that the CLECs need to know what billing systems each CR is for.

Susie Bliss-Qwest asked if that information is available.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that some CRs cross multiple systems. Susie noted an example: SCR041204-01 is BDT format and impacts CRIS and IABS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon uses ASCII and asked what this CR would do for Eschelon.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that changes would need to be made in CRIS in order to populate the ASCII file. Sue stated that this CR, SCR041204-01, did not request the inclusion of any other media outputs.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked that if they later need the changes for ASCII, would it be a smaller effort.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest responded yes.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that is good information to know.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what the difficulty would be to add ASCII to the LOE.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she did not know and stated that she is just communicating the systems that are impacted. Sue stated for example, SCR112503-02X is impacting to CRIS, but it does impact multiple processing pieces.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the Systems CRs are not discussed every month and noted that is part of the problem.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that Qwest has many billing systems and stated that the CRs are usually pretty specific. Liz stated that the information needs to be in the CRs

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that since there are a few days before the next Monthly CMP Meeting, she is requesting that SMEs be available at the CMP Meeting in order to answer questions such as; what are the impacted systems and what bills will the changes be coming in on.

Susie Bliss-Qwest asked if the CLECs wanted to discuss the 6 CRs after the May Product/Process Meeting.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that she would like a review of the CRs and prioritization to occur every month.

Kit Thomte-Qwest stated that maybe they could be reviewed quarterly.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that a process needs to be developed, for 2005 and going forward. Bonnie stated that we need to start now with the 6 CRs. Bonnie stated that Susie (Bliss) needs to fight for funding and she is looking to the CLECs to identify the order of importance.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that going forward, for CEMR and Billing, will Qwest have a set amount of hours allotted or will ranking work the same as today. Bonnie asked that for example, if they know that there will be 60000 hours, will the ranking occur twice a year.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that there is no current process that has been defined for 2005.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that it does not work today like IMA and Qwest does not envision that will be the case, so it does need to be looked at as to how it will be managed.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that we do need to look at what the current process is and what the going forward process should look like.

Jennifer Arnold-USLink asked if the Billing SMEs will be available on Thursday.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that we would look and see if they are available Wednesday afternoon, after the Product/Process Meeting.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that if Qwest can provide SMEs and get down to the root, the CLECs can commit to meet then to rank the billing CRs.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that the CLECs will have SMEs available as well and needs the time of the meeting.

It was agreed by the meeting participants that the meeting will start at 2:00 p.m. MT. This meeting will be to discuss the 6 CRs with the billing SMEs.

There were no additional comments or questions.

-- February 20, 2004 Email Received from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Peggy, Please send this onto Sue. I do not need to update my CR since the expected deliverables states " Qwest will include all the information Eschelon supplies on a dispute i.e. the bill date, TN or CKT ID and USOC (or description) on all adjusted amounts that appear on any of Qwest's bills including the BillMate Adjustment file." Thanks

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Sue Kriebel/Qwest stated that a call was held with Eschelon and stated that some information is currently included in other CRs. Sue stated that 2-points are not covered, so this CR is not a duplicate change request. Sue stated that the points not covered are the request for the bill date for an adjustment and the request for providing USOC level detail. Sue stated that this CR needs to be revised to include those 2-points. Sue stated that the other points are covered in the other CRs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would pass that information on to Kathy Stichter and ask her to revise the CR.

Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is that it is being reviewed at the Qwest CEO level.

There were no other questions or comments.

- February 13, 2004 Email Received from Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Peggy, See my answers below. Let me know if I was not clear. Thanks

Q1: If Qwest provides the From and Thru dates for the period of time that the adjustment is covering, or if the bill date is the date that is provided in the From and Thru Date Fields, is Eschelon's expectation is that there would be an additional field for the bill date itself? A1: [Stichter, Kathleen L.] There would not have to be another field for the bill date itself but if the from and thru dates span more than 1 bill date then Qwest would need to supply the monthly rate so we can break down the adjustment and apply the correct amount to the individual bill dates.

Q2) If the From and Thru dates are provided, do you have a need for the bill date? If yes, can you help us understand what the need for the bill date is. A2) [Stichter, Kathleen L.] For our accounting we need to apply the adjustment to the appropriate disputed bill.

- February 13, 2004 Email Sent to Kathy Stichter/Eschelon: Kathy, Thank you for taking the time to talk with us this today about SCR112503-02X (Adjustment Recognition). There are two clarification's, or question's, that we would like to ask:

1) If Qwest provides the From and Thru dates for the period of time that the adjustment is covering, or if the bill date is the date that is provided in the From and Thru Date Fields, is Eschelon's expectation is that there would be an additional field for the bill date itself?

2) If the From and Thru dates are provided, do you have a need for the bill date? If yes, can you help us understand what the need for the bill date is.

Thanks again. We will provide a status at the February Systems CMP Meeting.

-- February 13, 2004 Conference Call: Date: February 13, 2004 CR No & Title: SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition

Introduction of Attendees: Kathy Stichter-Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Jeff Jones-Qwest, Brenda Kerr-Qwest, Sue Kriebel-Qwest, Jami Larson-Qwest

Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss this CR for Adjustment Recognition and determine if 2 other CMP CRs will meet Eschelon’s need. Those CRs are: SCR110802-02IG Provide adjustment FROM and THRU dates for BOS formatted UNE accounts and SCR012103-07ES CABS/BOS IABS Updates: Establish and use more descriptive local use phrase codes for UNE charges and adjustments. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that Eschelon does not use BOS, they use BillMate. Kathy stated that neither of the CRs, SCR110802-02IG and SCR012103-07ES, request the use of TN or circuit ID for the charge that is being adjusted. Kathy stated that SCR110802-02IG might satisfy the request for the bill date but she doesn’t know how much is involved, as BOS and BillMate are different systems. Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that in order for Qwest to be able to pass the information, the information would first be needed in CRIS, to pass in the BOS format. Sue stated that it would then be available to BillMate in an ASCII format. Jami Larson-Qwest stated that it would be available to any format coming out of BillMate. Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that CRIS is BOS/CARS so the changes would be needed in CRIS/BOS CARS in order to be able to provide the information. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she was aware of that because of her background and noted that is why this request was originally submitted as a Product/Process CR and not systems. Kathy stated that previously it was because of the way the reps did the input, that is why she thought it would be a process change. Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that a manual process would not allow flow-through. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she was aware that several systems would be impacted by this requested change. Kathy stated that the Qwest and the AT&T CRs are dealing with BOS. Kathy stated that she might be agreeable to add her portion of the request to the AT&T CR. Jami Larson-Qwest stated that the change would include the way adjustments are currently input. Jami noted that the data is not currently captured. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked about the TN or the circuit ID being part of the adjustments. Kathy stated that so many of the adjustments are for multiple items that have the same USOC Kathy stated that if she needs to dispute 18 items, the dispute is agreed to, an adjustment is issued, then only 17 of the 18 show up. Kathy stated that without a TN or circuit ID, she doesn’t know which of the 18 were adjusted and which were not. Jami Larson-Qwest asked if Eschelon is requesting the WTN or the sub-account number and asked to clarify that the USOC or circuit ID is to be listed. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that Jami is correct, otherwise cannot determine what is being adjusted. Jami Larson-Qwest stated that she thought it could be included in the scope. Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she agrees with Jami. Sue stated that Qwest would need to match-up the change, to allow an adjustment at the sub-account and summary account levels. Sue stated that this refers back into the process of how an adjustment is issued. Sue stated that this piece could probably be added into the AT&T CR. Jami Larson-Qwest stated that she needs to look at other CMP CRs to see if this request is covered in another change request. Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the change would be for the electronic media and not for the paper format. Jami Larson-Qwest agreed with Sue Kriebel. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that Eschelon uses the electronic media and noted that the adjustment file comes thru BillMate, so Eschelon does not have a problem with the paper format not being touched. Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she also needs this for Resale, UNE-P, UNE-STAR, and UBL. Jami Larson-Qwest stated that for UNE-P and UBL she would need to check if the data is available. Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that UNE-STAR is a special arrangement so it could be a concern. Sue Kriebel-Qwest asked Brenda Kerr-Qwest if Qwest needs to do for UBL, UNE-P, UNE-STAR, and Resale or if there are existing CRs for UNE-P and UBL Brenda Kerr-Qwest stated that she would check. There were no additional questions or comments.

-- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this is in Evaluation. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR is very important to Eschelon. There were no additional comments or questions.

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR was discussed in the Product/Process Meeting this morning. Kit stated that this CR would be crossed over to Systems.

12/17/03 December Product/Process CMP Meeting: Kathy Stichter with Eschelon presented this CR. Kathy said that she submitted the CR because of problems figuring out adjustments on bills. Liz Balvin with MCI said MCI supports this CR and that they are unable to determine if adjustments are PAP payments or the result of a dispute. Kit Thomte with Qwest said we would like to cross over this CR to Systems because of billing system implications. Kathy Stichter agreed and this CR will be moved to Presented status and crossed over to Systems.

CLEC Change Request Clarification Meeting

Name/Company:

Kathy Stitcher, Eschelon John Gallegos, Qwest Brenda Kerr, Qwest Elaine Maynard, Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed, Qwest Linda Sanchez-Steinke, Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Qwest welcomed all attendees to the meeting.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Linda Sanchez-Steinke with Qwest read the description of change from the submitted change request; Currently Qwest adjustments appear with only the date that Qwest issued the adjustment, a description such as 'credit adjustment' and the amount. When Eschelon submits a dispute, Qwest requires the bill date of the disputed amount, the USOC and/or the description of the disputed amount, the TN or CKT ID of the disputed amount and the amount in dispute. Qwest should return the same information (we supply) on its adjustments. Without the bill date, TN or CKT ID and USOC it is extremely time consuming and sometimes impossible to determine what Qwest is adjusting. Many times Eschelon has to contact Qwest for the needed information. Sometimes even Qwest can not determine what the adjustment was for. Eschelon requests that Qwest return the same information Eschelon supplies on its disputes i.e. the bill date, the USOC (or description, if a USOC is not applicable) and the TN or CKT ID on all adjusted amounts that appear on any of Qwest’s bills including the BillMate Adjustment file

Kathy Stitcher said that the reason the description of the disputed amount should be included is because toll usage types charges have no USOC associated with them. ; for instance toll usage type charges have no USOC associated with them. The last statement in the CR is mainly in connection with BillMate. The adjustment file should appear on all adjustments for bills. With maintenance and repair, TIC is a big problem and the billing reps lump a bunch of adjustments together rather than give the information item by item.

Elaine Maynard clarified that Eschelon is looking for the bill adjustments item by item rather than in a lump adjustment. Kathy Stitcher said that she usually knows what the adjustment will be ahead of time, however, when she looks at the bill it doesn’t match up. Kathy also said that she wasn’t sure if the CR should be Product & Process or Systems.

Brenda Kerr asked if the request is for all regions and states. Kathy responded yes.

CC: Jill Martain, Connie Winston, Peggy Esquibel-Reed

RE: SCR112503-02X-Adjustment Recognition

SCR Description: Currently Qwest adjustments appear with only the date that Qwest issued the adjustment, a description such as ‘credit adjustment’ and the amount. When Eschelon submits a dispute, Qwest requires the bill date of the disputed amount, the USOC and/or the description of the disputed amount, the TN or CKT ID of the disputed amount and the amount in dispute. Qwest should return the same information (we supply) on its adjustment. Without the bill date, TN or CKT ID and USOC it is extremely time consuming and sometimes impossible to determine what Qwest is adjusting. Many times Eschelon has to contact Qwest for the needed information. Sometimes even Qwest can not determine what the adjustment was for. Eschelon requests that Qwest return the same information Eschelon supplies on its disputes i.e. the bill date, the USOC (or description, if a USOC is not applicable) and the TN or CKT ID on all adjusted amounts that appear on any of Qwest’s bills including the BillMate Adjustment file. The Expected Deliverables is that Qwest will include all the information Eschelon supplies on a dispute, i.e. the bill date, TN or CKT ID and USOC (or description) on all adjusted amounts that appear on any of Qwest’s bills including the BillMate Adjustment file.

History: This CR was submitted on November 23, 2003 as a Product/Process CR, was determined to require system changes, and was crossed-over as a Systems CR on December 22, 2003. Numerous discussions have taken place for this request due to its size and complexity. On August 18, 2004, Qwest communicated to the CLEC Community that the TN/Circuit ID information portion of this request was partitioned and that all other requested information was targeted for the 4th quarter of 2004. On October 20, 2004, Qwest communicated that all requested functionality, with the exception of the TN/Circuit ID portion, was targeted for deployment on December 6, 2004. On November 17, 2004 Qwest advised the CLEC Community that this CR would go back to an evaluation status once Phase 1 was deployed on December 6, 2004. Qwest stated, on December 16, 2004, that the remaining TN/Circuit ID portion was a very complex and large work effort and that options were being explored.

Qwest Response for TN/Circuit ID Portion of Change Request: Qwest has completed the analysis for Phase 2 of SCR112503-02X, the TN/Circuit ID portion of this change request. The changes proposed by this request are quite extensive; therefore, Qwest has determined that this change is economically not feasible. In order to implement this request, there are numerous systems that would require changes to store and/or utilize the Circuit ID, to recognize the new data, imbedded base changes, and changes for the data to be available for billing output. Process changes would also be required and would include changes to the media procedures, changes to PCAT documentation, and re-training of Center personnel. The cost for these required changes is estimated to be $1,393,687; therefore, Qwest is respectfully denying the TN/Circuit ID portion of the change request due to economic infeasibility.

Cost Summary: Changes to Ordering Systems: $597,016 Changes to Billing Systems: $695,104 Changes to Provisioning Systems: $51,567 Process Changes: $50,000 TOTAL: $1,393,687

Sincerely, Qwest

- DRAFT RESPONSE for Original Request

January 9, 2004

RE: SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition

Qwest is reviewing the information submitted as part of the cross-over Change Request, SCR112503-02X. Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the February Systems CMP Meeting.

At the January Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Description Of Change

FiberComm is unable to submit orders for LNP with Number Port and LNP only, via IMA for border towns, specifically North Sioux City, South Dakota. The first problem is that when a CSR is pulled I must use the NPA of 712 even though its actually 605. When an order is submitted it errors out because the AN shows 712 but the number I wish to port is 605.

I have tried the following:

Leaving the AN as 712 but on the Loop Service With Number Port form putting 605-xxx-xxxx for the ported number and I get the error ‘605-xxx-xxxx not on end-user's account’

Changing the AN to 605 and leaving the number port as 605, getting the error: ‘No CSR record found for this request’

Leaving the AN as 712 and the number to port as 712 and marking for Manuel handling. The error message I get is: "LSNP Form:Service Details Section 1:NPT - Invalid Number Portability Type for NPA/NXX"

I have gone through the ISC, Help Desk and currently I am working with our Account Manager, Joshua Nielsen on this problem. Its been suggested that I try marking my orders for Manuel handling and that didn’t work. The only way I can do it is to submit my orders manually via fax. This is very time consuming and it can be 24 hrs before I know if the order was accepted or if I’ll have to resubmit. This change request appears to be the obvious route to take in fixing this problem.

Business benefits to fixing this would be the time it would save my company, not to mention other companies who also have problems submitting orders for border towns. It’s very inconvenient, inefficient and time consuming to manually submit orders.

I am requesting immediate action because FiberComm will be turning up more business and residential customers in North Sioux City and it would be very efficient to be able to do it via IMA.

Expected Deliverable:

ASAP

November 29, 2004 Email Received from FiberComm: Peggy: Well surprisingly FiberComm hasn’t had any border town orders so I’m not even sure how it works. But I’d say go ahead and close it and I’ll open a CSR ticket if need be when the time comes to process an order. Thanks Rachel Law

- November 29, 2004 Email Sent to FiberComm: Rachel, This email is in regard to the FiberComm LD CMP CR of SCR102403-01 Border Town Orders. This CR was deployed in the IMA 16.0 Release on October 18, 2004. I am not aware of any issues as a result of the deployment and ask if this CR can be closed. There have been no issues brought forward as a result of the deployment and ask if FiberComm is ready to close the CR. Will you please advise me if the CR can be moved to Completed Status?

I have attached a copy of the CR.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM

Combined Overview and IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation Walkthrough for IMA EDI Release 16.0 August 19, 2004

Attendees List* Anne Robberson - Qwest Crystal Soderlund - Qwest Dave Schleicher - Qwest Dianne Friend - Time Warner Ella Diamond - MCI Ellen McArthur - Qwest Emily Bayard - Cox James McCluskey - Accenture Jen Arnold - TDSMetrocom John Hansen - Qwest Judy DeRosier - Qwest Kim Isaacs - Eschelon Kyle Kirves - Qwest Linda Miles - Qwest Lori Langston - Qwest Maria Aceno - AT&T Mark Coyne - Qwest Michael Lopez - Qwest Pat Bratetic - Qwest Phyllis Burt - AT&T Qiana Davis - Qwest Rachel Law - Fibercom Randy Owen - Qwest Shon Higer - Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed - Qwest Stephanie Prull - Eschelon Vicki Dryden - Qwest *List is incomplete.

1. Introductions Kyle Kirves began the meeting by taking attendance and announcing the meeting purpose. Kyle handed out agendas and copies of the candidate overview document that were distributed with the notification announcing the walkthrough (copies attached). Kyle explained that the walkthrough would cover the candidates, the candidate impacts to the associated documentation, and the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation overview.

2. Reviews SCR102403-01 FiberComm Bordertown Orders Qiana Davis reviewed the information provided in the candidate overview document circulated with the meeting agenda and the meeting notification announcement. Kyle opened the floor to Questions. Stephanie Prull asked as to whether the candidate was intended to address all products for LNP and LNSP. CMP discussions would lead the customer to believe that the LNP LNSP was to be incorporated for all products. Qiana confirmed that it was specific to LNP to LNSP and that the scope was followed for the candidate. Conversation ensued as to whether there was an adjustment to CR for all products. Qwest stated that the customers should be able to submit preorder and order specific transactions for the other products already, though they may receive normal error messages. The CLECs did not seem to think that this was the case. Chuck Anderson stated that the issue had been resolved for all products as of IMA EDI 14.0. Chuck will follow-up. Kyle asked about updates to the PCAT. Vicki Dryden and Michael Johnson stated that the PCATs will be updated to include the new border towns. Kyle asked about updates to the GUI documentation. Dave Schleicher stated that the Release Notes will have corresponding updates around the usage of the new borders towns. Kyle moved discussion to the next candidate.

3. IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation Review Kyle conducted the review of the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation. The commentary and questions around this segment are captured in a separate document with the Qwest responses to CLEC comments submitted through the CMP site for the convenience of having it in one spot. Please refer to Systems Notification number SYST.09.03.04.F.02009.IMAEDI16.0FinalTech Specs for details on the location of that document.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the 16.0 Commitment List is included, in Attachment M of the July Systems CMP Distribution Package. There were no comments or questions.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the CRs was a duplicate to SCR071603-02 and asked if they would resolve her trouble ticket. Liz asked about Trouble Ticket 55246. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the CRs are not duplicates, they are different and do support each other. John stated that MCI’s trouble ticket is still open. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI view’s these as compliance issues. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she would relay her concern. Rachel Law/FiberComm LD stated that this CR is a very high priority for FiberComm. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this was high for AT&T Business. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this CR would accommodate all border towns. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR is a high priority for MCI. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if the products could be expanded to all products. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would look at what the LOE, for all products, would be. Connie stated that if there is an impact to the LOE, the products specified on the CR would not change. Connie stated that if there is no impact to the LOE, the products would be expanded to incorporate all products. The CLEC Community agreed. Rachel Law/FiberComm stated that she agreed as well.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that both the IMA change and the billing change are needed and noted that there are impacts to both. The Action Item is Closed.

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Rachel Law/FiberComm presented the CR. Rachel Law/FiberComm stated that she needs to mark the LSR for manual handling, then the LSR gets repeated errors. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if FiberComm has opened a trouble ticket. Rachel Law/FiberComm stated that a trouble ticket was opened about 6-months ago and was advised at that time, to mark for manual handling. Rachel stated that does not work. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would look into this issue and stated that if the billing enhancement is made, for SCR071603-02 (Bordertown Change to Billing Files), this would flow through to IMA. Connie stated that she would check into this CR in conjunction with SCR071603-02 submitted by McLeod. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that FiberComm must be hitting a BPL edit. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that it could be hitting on the area code and CALA. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it would be a very specific error message and would check into that. There were no additional comments or questions. This CR is now in Presented Status.

Project Meetings

April 2004 John Gallegos/Qwest advised that Connie Winston/Qwest closed this issue with Liz Balvin/MCI off-line.

December 30, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz -- This email is just to let you know that I have not forgotten your request. The person that is providing me with the information is out of the office for the Holidays. I will continue to follow-up on this request and will provide you with status as it changes. I apologize for the delay. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- December 23, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz -- I received your request and will certainly look into it. Peggy

December 23, 2003 Email Received from Liz Balvin/MCI: Thanks Peggy, What is missing from the details are the results of Qwest research. Per Qwest at the Dec. CMP meeting, Qwest performed analysis against the PREMIS/CRIS TN and SANO information and determined discrepancies were minimal. I would like the research results reflected in the CR. Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest Region

-- December 17, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz -- Below is the denial response, sent on November 7, 2003.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she had a question on page 11 of the November CMP Meeting Minutes associated with SCR092503-02 (Synch-up Address Information Housed in PREMIS and CRIS). Liz said that she was not sure why this CR had been denied. Liz asked if the response was sent to her. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest said that the response was sent to MCI and that she would resend it today. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the PREMIS/CRIS synopsis would be very expensive and that the CR was denied due to economic feasibility.

- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: This CR has been Denied.

- November 7, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz, I have attached a copy of the CR for 'Synch-up Address Information Housed in PREMIS and CRIS'. This copy contains Qwest's Revised Response. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- November 5, 2003 Email Received from Kim Isaacs/Eschelon: Peggy, The rejects for zip code are infrequent, I am sorry I do not have any current examples within the last month. Here are the examples I was able to find from the last six months: (examples submitted) Kim Isaacs ILEC Relations Process Analyst Eschelon Telcom Inc

November 4, 2003 Email Sent to Kim Isaacs: Hi Kim -- In the October Systems CMP Meeting, during the discussion for SCR092503-02 (Synch-up Address Information Housed in Premis and CRIS) you made a statement that the Center was rejecting due to the ZIP Code. Qwest has performed an analysis on the Eschelon LSR rejects, from October 1, 2003 thru Novemver 3, 2003. Of those LSRs rejected, none of the rejects were due to the Zip Code. Will you provide some LSR IDs for those LSRs that were rejected due to the Zip? We can then investigate those specific LSRs to determine what the issues were. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- October 31, 2003 Email Received from Liz Balvin/MCI: Peggy, Actually, what I agreed to provide was a CSR example to determine whether zip codes are available on the Service Address. Here is mine attached, Connie was right, there is no zip code field populated. That said, MCI continues to seek the databases be made in synch with available information. (example attached to email) Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest Region

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Nancy at Comcast had brought this up at the September CMP Meeting. Liz reviewed the CR description, stated that the address information in Premis should match the Service Address in CRIS. Liz stated that even with the work in 14.0, it would be helpful to have the addresses in-synch. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has worked with Comcast, offline, to address their business need regarding TN and SANO Premis synch-up. Connie stated that the data, city and state, are not kept because CRIS has the data. Connie stated that the Zip on the CSR might not relate to the Service Address, it relates to the billing address. Connie noted that because the Service Address contains the community name, this request might not be able to be met. Connie stated that the most common seems to be a P.O. Box and stated that the service address is where the equipment is located. Connie noted that information is not kept in CRIS. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this request is asking for the data to be kept I n CRIS. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the effort would be very big but that Qwest would certainly look at it. Connie noted that she does not understand why the CLEC feels this to be of business value. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that at a minimum, she would like to see how the service address and SANO information is considered in-synch, in CRIS. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked Liz (Balvin/MCI) for their business need. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was advised that Premis was the address of record and that she is experiencing a 30% reject rate using Premis. Liz stated that CRIS is just as lacking and that the information should be in-synch. Liz also stated that she was told that she did not need to do address validation. Liz noted that she used CSRQ and did not get the Zip. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she has a similar problem and that she hears from the Center that the address is the CSR address and that the editing is performed against CRIS. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she agrees, for the Service Address field, and asked about the Zip, what is the CLECs business need. Connie stated that the Zip is not appropriate for the Service Address, it is the billing address Zip and noted that it can be different from the Zip for the Service Address. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that the Center is rejecting for the Zip and asked how the correct Zip is obtained. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Premis is used to validate the Zip. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the Service Address does have a Zip field. Connie Winston/Qwest responded is in Premis, not in CRIS. Connie noted that the CRIS Zip relates to the billing address. Connie stated that Qwest will look at examples and would look at SANO and Premis synch-up. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would send examples to Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest). Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if Qwest was going to look to see if can address the problem of the Service Address in Premis and SANO matching. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the percentage of not matching is less than 1% and stated that may take another look. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the LSR should have the Service Address. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would check with her Qwest business partners. There were no additional comments or questions. This CR remains in Evaluation status. Eschelon Comments 10/29/03 to Meeting Minutes – List Action Items for this CR. - Qwest to Review Process of How Premis & Service Address Match the SANO on the CSR (SCR092503-02 Synch-up Address Information Housed in Premis & CRIS) - Liz Balvin to Provide Examples of Where a SANO & Premis Need to be Synched-up for SCR092503-02 (Synch-up Address Information Housed in Premis & CRIS)

REVIEWED CR DESCRIPTION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed reviewed the CR Description: MCI requests the address information in PREMIS be brought in synch with the service address information stored in CRIS. MCI anticipates this process would need to be performed regularly to ensure the databases remain in synch. Expected Deliverable is that PREMIS address information will be the same as that housed in Qwests service address fields in CRIS.

CONFIRMED IMPACTED INTERFACE(S): Other

CONFIRMED IMPACTED PRODUCTS: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that N/A would be appropriate for this CR.

DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest opened the discussion for questions. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this topic has been previously discussed and noted that Qwest understands the request. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that with with 14.0, they won't have this issue going forward but that the data bases still need to be in synch in order to prevent out-of-synch conditions. Shonna Pasionek/Qwest asked for examples of scenarios of out-of-synch conditions. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that an example is where CRIS service address systems is lacking zip, city, and state. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if the CLECs are looking for the information to be complete in order to say that they are in synch. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the information also needs to be identical. Liz stated that the service address section in CRIS billing system needs to be in-synch with the service address information housed in Premis. Monica Manning/Qwest asked to confirm that request is for the CSR that accesses the billing media. Liz Balvin/MCI responded yes, in the CSR response. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if this impact is for all products. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that is really not product specific, should reflect NA. All on call agreed with N/A as product designation on CR. There were no additional questions or comments.

ACTION PLAN: MCI to present CR at October Systems CMP Meeting.

REVISED RESPONSE

November 7, 2003

Liz Balvin MCI

CC: Connie Winston Lynn Notarianni Sue Stott Beth Foster Christy Turton Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR092503-02, dated 09/25/03, titled: Synch-up Address Information Housed in PREMIS and CRIS.

CR Description: MCI requests the address information in PREMIS be brought in synch with the service address information stored in CRIS. MCI anticipates this process would need to be performed regularly to ensure the databases remain in synch.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): That PREMIS address information will be the same as that housed in Qwest’s service address fields in CRIS.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Thursday, October 2, 2003 with MCI and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest stated that this topic had been previously discussed and noted that Qwest understood the request. MCI expressed their concern with PREMIS and CRIS and stated that although this would not be a problem with 14.0, the databases still need to be in sync to prevent out of sync conditions.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR092503-02, Synch-up Address Information Housed in PREMIS and CRIS, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit, due to the limited occurrence in which PREMIS information is not consistent with CRIS.

Qwest is denying your request for SCR092503-02, Synch-up Address Information Housed in PREMIS and CRIS, due to no demonstrable business benefit.

Sincerely,

Qwest

Draft Response

RE: SCR092503-02 (Synch-up Address Information Housed in PREMIS and CRIS)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR092503-02. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification Meeting (held October 2, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the request and provide an updated response at the November Systems CMP Meeting.

At the October Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Description Of Change

When LNA=D (ACT = C and/or ACT= T), Qwest rquires feature and feature detail. Please remove this requirement, therefore allowing lines to be disconnected without specifying the feature and feature detail.

Qwest clarification: Feature Activity is required when ACT = V or Z and LNA = D or when LNA = D and TCOPT = S (this scenario is when a Transfer of Calls is requested and a charge USOC is required. The requirement then is LNA = D with FA = N to add the charge USOC.) The change also is being requested for ACT = T with LNA = D. For this scenario, the PIC field becomes required. The expectation is that when a line is being disconnected, it should not be necessary to include feature details

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has an LOE of 375 to 650 hours and is an eligible 15.0 candidate. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she did not think they should provide detail for a disconnected line. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this was an overlap of an Eschelon CR with the ‘D’ & ‘T’ activity. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this request is different and is more specific. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is an eligible 15.0 candidate. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes. There were no other questions or comments.

Kim Isaacs/Eschelon asked about the feature USOC and asked that Qwest verify if this is in fact a requirement. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would report on the CR prior to prioritization. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she will determine if this CR is to be withdrawn after Qwest verifies.

8/6/03 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Liz Balvin - MCI, Mary Hunt - MCI, Jane Torres, John Gallegos - Qwest, Nicole James - Qwest, Berkley Loggie - Qwest, Qiana Price - Qwest, John Ebert - Qwest, Lynn Stecklein - Qwest

Review Description of Change MCI is requesting that when LNA=D (ACT = C and/or ACT= T), Qwest requires feature and feature detail. MCI is requesting that this requirement be removed, therefore allowing lines to be disconnected without specifying the feature and feature detail.

Jane Torres stated that with the LNA = D that LPIC is required but didn't think that the business rules state that. She also stated that LPIC is not an issue with a partial disconnect. She said that they would like this to be conditional with an ACT = T. MCI stated that they would like to see consistency with the LNA = D.

Confirm Areas & Products impacted John Gallegos - Qwest confirmed that products impacted. MCI stated that the products impacted were UNE-P and Resale.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation MCI is requesting that when LNA=D (ACT = C and/or ACT= T), Qwest requires feature and feature detail. MCI is requesting that this requirement be removed, therefore allowing lines to be disconnected without specifying the feature and feature detail.

Identify Any Dependent Systems Change Requests NA

Establish Action Plan MCI will be presenting this request in the August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting. This CR is an eligible candidate for the IMA 15.0 vote.

Description Of Change

Description of Change/Exception:

Financial suspend orders in WA, OR and ID-N currently require manual handling. MCI seeks automation of financial suspend orders in the Western Region. In addition, two-way suspensions are not consistent across Qwest 14 state footprint. MCI seeks to have two-way suspensions processed in one of the two methods consistently:

1) Automatic two way suspension

or

2) Make use of the suspend type field across all states to specify if the suspension should be one-way or two-way

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

That financial suspend orders flow through for Western Region and two-way suspensions are consistently process throughout Qwest 14 state footprint.

Project Meetings

May 18, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest asked if this CR was ready to close. Rosalin Davis-MCI stated that it could close.

- April 20, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that 17.0 was deployed on 4/11/05 and that this CR will remain in CLEC Test.

March 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that this CR is scheduled to be implemented on April 11, 2005, with the IMA 17.0 Release.

-- November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the IMA 17.0 Packaging Status is located in Attachment M. Jill also said that the Release date for 17.0 was changed from April 25, 2005 to April 11, 2005. Liz Balvin/Covad stated that the LOE was reduced for this release and asked if Qwest would provide capacity in December of 2004. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide the capacity for 2005 in December of 2004. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if the 1400 to 1600 hours for SCR121003-01EX Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity scheduled in December were available. Liz said the hours should be available for 17.0 Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we were utilizing those hours this year. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that here understanding was that the hours were available for 17.0. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that we don’t know what the hours are for 2005 yet. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the available resources stayed at 20,000 hours for the year. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the 20,000 hours is an estimate for 17.0. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Qwest used to package to mid-range and that for 17.0 Qwest packaged at the high range. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that this is due to the uncertainty. Comment received from Eschelon 11/29/04 – and Qwest does not know the hours for 2005 right now. Liz Balvin/Covad asked why the IMA 17.0 production date was moved. John Gallegos/Qwest said that Qwest needed to sync up with other systems and for other technical reasons. John Berard/Covad asked if the date was moved because of the hours. John Gallegos/Qwest said no, it was not because of the hours.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this is a high priority for MCI.

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LOE for this CR is 2350 to 2650 IMA hours and noted that this CR is available for the next vote. Connie stated that there would be an IMA edit that will allow IMA to know what the switch level is. There were no comments or questions. The Action Item was Closed.

- March 11, 2004 Email Sent to Liz Balvin-MCI: Good Morning Liz, I have attached a current copy of your SCR070103-01ES Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistenty across Qwest 14 state footprint. This copy indicates: - Level of Effort of 2350 to 2650 hours - Impacted Interface of IMA Common. Thru the analysis of what it would take to mechanize this function, it was determined that there is in fact, an impact to IMA as well as other systems. - Status Changed to Pending Prioritization - Action Item Created for a read-out of the LOE at the March Systems CMP Meeting.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Michelle Thacker/Qwest stated that the status of this CR was changed from Denied to Presented. Michelle stated that Qwest would allow 2-way suspensions in OR, WA, and N. ID for UNE-P. Michelle stated that 1-way suspensions would be allowed for non DMS Switches, for Resale. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is determining the LOE. There were no questions or comments. The action item was closed.

Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is: There is no new Status for this CR.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI escalated this denial and needs to understand the escalation response. Jim Maher/Qwest stated that MCI needs to respond to the escalation in writing. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Qwest could call MCI to answer her questions. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would send a written response. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that the process is that MCI submits their response in writing and that Qwest post’s it to the web. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she needs to understand DMS100 & DMS10 switches. Jim Maher/Qwest stated that 2-way suspensions in Oregon & Washington are due to the technical limitation of not being able to do a 1-way suspend in DMS100 & DMS10 switches. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like this CR modified to accommodate processing of two-way suspension orders for the DMS100 & DMS10 switches in these states, eliminating the manual process. Jim Maher/Qwest stated that there would be a clarification call scheduled to discuss the changes to the CR, and to clarify MCI’s request. Liz Balvin/MCI agreed to the meeting being scheduled.

January 19, 2004 Qwest Response to Escalation SCR070103-01-E20: Liz, Attached is the Qwest response to your escalation # SCR070103-01-E20. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Jim:

Escalation # SCR070103-01-E20 January 19, 2004

Liz Balvin MCI

Dear Ms. Balvin:

This letter is in response to MCI Escalation # SCR070103-01-E20 regarding the MCI position that Qwest inappropriately denied to allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N, and that Qwest process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint. The MCI issues, in blue font, raised in this escalation and the associated Qwest responses are as follow:

MCI Issue: Qwest documented procedures URL: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/tdnpr.html states "State: Arizona, Colorado, Southern Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, or Wyoming Switch Type: All Types Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: All Types except DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing Only NOTE: For two-way temporary disconnects, you must issue your request manually and note in REMARKS "two-way denial". State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls". NOTE: Qwest provides ability to order two-way suspensions in the Western Region on a manual basis.

Qwest Response: Qwest agrees that the information in the Temporary Disconnection for Non-payment/Restore PCAT is not clear and (for WA and OR) is incorrect (see #2 below). To clarify, in states other than WA and OR, where two-way suspensions are allowed and provided, the process for requesting two-way suspensions is as described in the PCAT. Qwest will update the PCAT to both clarify the process and application for two-way suspensions and correct the PCAT relative to the regulatory restrictions for WA and OR, (see the next Qwest Response below).

MCI Issue: Upon receipt of MCI's change request to systematically allow the ordering of two-way suspensions, Qwest not only denied the CR based on retail tariff language but is expected to update the above documentation such that CLECs cannot order entirely. Qwest stated "This compliance entails revisions of the PCAT language as well as revision to methods regarding the manual process for 2-way suspensions. The revision to methods has been completed and the revision to the PCAT is in progress" (email from Qwest 11/18/03).

Qwest Response: As indicated by Michelle Thacker on December 17, 2003, and subsequently provided via email on December 18, 2003 and documented in the CMP CR, the PCAT document located on URL: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/tdnpr.html, is incorrect and will be revised to reflect the OR and WA state regulatory requirements of only allowing one-way suspensions of service except in DMS10 and DMS 100 switches where only two-way suspensions are technically feasible.

MCI Issue: MCI Interconnect Agreements (ICA's) state "Access to Unbundled Local Switching encompasses line-side and trunk-side facilities, plus the features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch. The features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch include the basic switching function, as well as the same basic capabilities that are available to Qwest's End User Customers. Unbundled Local Switching also includes access to all vertical features that the Switch is capable of providing, as well as any technically-feasible customized routing functions" (SGAT section 9.11.1.1)" Thus, when ordering UNE-P POTS, MCI's ICA's apply, not Qwest retail tariff.

Qwest Response: The switch capability associated with two-way suspensions is not currently listed/identified as a UNE in either existing Interconnection Agreements or Qwest’s SGAT. In addition, based on WA and OR state regulatory rules, Qwest is prohibited from providing two-way suspensions to customers in the states of WA and OR except in DMS10 and DMS100 switches which are technically limited to a two-way suspension switch functionality.

MCI Issue: In addition to MCI's ICA's, the FCC regulations require Qwest to provide MCI all the features and functions of the switch when we buy switching unbundled network elements (UNEs) (47 CFR Section 51.319(c)(1). Qwest denial states "Although the switch may have capability of two-way denial, the State Commission does not allow for this practice." (12/30/03 Email from Qwest) Please note, this restriction applies to Qwest retail ONLY, not wholesale whereby contract language supercedes.

Qwest Response: Qwest continues to recommend that MCI pursue two-way suspensions in OR and WA by way of the Special Request Process (SRP). A SRP request would determine if two-way suspensions are technically feasible in the switches in OR and WA, and would result in an ICA amendment that would go before the OR and WA state commissions for review/approval. This would bring the issue of OR and WA’s current position on two-way suspensions to those state commissions for either approval for MCI and Qwest to move forward in establishing this capability or would result in a continued denial of MCI’s request (assumedly for the same reasons those state commissions do not allow Qwest to do two-way suspensions in those states).

MCI Issue: Qwest inappropriately denied MCI's change request SCR070103-01. Not only is Qwest denying the systematic means to order two-way suspension but intends to eliminate the ability to order on a manual basis, restricting CLECs all together.

Qwest Response: Qwest does not agree that the denial of MCI’s change request SCR070103-01 is inappropriate. In addition, Qwest is not "eliminating the ability to order on a manual basis"; Qwest is correcting information in the PCAT that is currently incorrect. The ability to order two-way suspensions on a manual basis will remain intact and the PCAT will be corrected to reflect the exceptions for OR and WA (non-DMS10 and DMS100 switches) where this capability is not available.

MCI Issue: MCI contracts and FCC regulations require that Qwest provide all features available with a particular switch. What this means is that MCI is not limited to what Qwest provides its retail customers. MCI must be provided access to existing features to be able to innovate and provide competition to our customers. Thus, Qwest cannot restrict two-way suspensions.

Qwest Response: Qwest does not agree that we are arbitrarily restricting two-way suspensions or otherwise not providing MCI with access to features in a particular switch. To summarize Qwest’s position: ? Two-Way Suspensions are not currently identified as a UNE in either the ICA or SGAT. ? Due to regulatory constraints in OR and WA, Qwest is prohibited from providing two-way suspensions in those states, with the specific exception of DMS10 and DMS100 switches. ? MCI has the opportunity to pursue this switch capability through the SRP, obtain this function as a UNE, if approved, and bring to closure the issues associated with the OR and WA regulatory limitations.

In conclusion, the request to allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N, and that Qwest process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest’s 14 state footprint will remain in deny status.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 965-3709, or by e-mail at Loretta.A.Huff@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Loretta Huff Senior Director/Wholesale Service Delivery Qwest

January 9, 2004 Escalation Received from Liz Balvin, MCI: Description: Inappropriate denial from Qwest to allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint. History: Qwest documented procedures... URL: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/tdnpr.html ...states "State: Arizona, Colorado, Southern Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, or Wyoming Switch Type: All Types Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: All Types except DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing Only NOTE: For two-way temporary disconnects, you must issue your request manually and note in REMARKS "two-way denial". State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls"

NOTE: Qwest provides ability to order two-way suspensions in the Western Region on a manual basis.

Upon receipt of MCI's change request to systematically allow the ordering of two-way suspensions, Qwest not only denied the CR based on retail tariff language but is expected to update the above documentation such that CLECs cannot order entirely. Qwest stated "This compliance entails revisions of the PCAT language as well as revision to methods regarding the manual process for 2-way suspensions. The revision to methods has been completed and the revision to the PCAT is in progress" (email from Qwest 11/18/03).

MCI Interconnect Agreements (ICA's) state "Access to Unbundled Local Switching encompasses line-side and trunk-side facilities, plus the features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch. The features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch include the basic switching function, as well as the same basic capabilities that are available to Qwest's End User Customers. Unbundled Local Switching also includes access to all vertical features that the Switch is capable of providing, as well as any technically-feasible customized routing functions" (SGAT section 9.11.1.1)" Thus, when ordering UNE-P POTS, MCI's ICA's apply, not Qwest retail tariff.

In addition to MCI's ICA's, the FCC regulations require Qwest to provide MCI all the features and functions of the switch when we buy switching unbundled network elements (UNEs) (47 CFR Section 51.319(c)(1). Qwest denial states "Although the switch may have capability of two-way denial, the State Commission does not allow for this practice." (12/30/03 Email from Qwest) Please note, this restriction applies to Qwest retail ONLY, not wholesale whereby contract language supercedes.

Reason for Escalation: Qwest inappropriately denied MCI's change request SCR070103-01. Not only is Qwest denying the systematic means to order two-way suspension but intends to eliminate the ability to order on a manual basis, restricting CLECs all together.

Business need and impact: MCI contracts and FCC regulations require that Qwest provide all features available with a particular switch. What this means is that MCI is not limited to what Qwest provides its retail customers. MCI must be provided access to existing features to be able to innovate and provide competition to our customers. Thus, Qwest cannot restrict two-way suspensions.

Desired CLEC resolution: That Qwest continue to support the manual means and allow the systematic means to order two-way suspensions in the Western Region for UNE-P POTS. Given this CR was initiated by MCI July 1, 2003 (over 6 months ago), MCI recommends this CR become eligible for 16.0 prioritization.

- January 8, 2004 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Hi Liz, I can see where this might be confusing. Although the switch has the capability for a 2-way suspension, the state commission does not allow for a 2-way denial. The tariff exception is there for specifically DMS-100 and DMS-10 central offices, due to their inability to provision a 1-way denial. The difference is in the fact that the DMS-10 and DMS100’s technically cannot provision a 1-way denial. I am attaching a current copy of your CR. It contains the response to the action item that came out of the December CMP Meeting. This CR will be included in the January CMP Distribution Package, for the discussion of the action item (Attachment I). Does that help? Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- January 7, 2004 Email Received From Liz Balvin/MCI: Peggy, Qwest response to this CR (email from you dated 11/18/03) stated: "Based upon further investigation, resulting from our November 3, 2003 conference call, this CR will remain in Denied status. Qwest has reviewed tariffs for all 14 states and will be in compliance with the tariff's. Due to Tariff regulations in OR & WA, only 1-Way deny orders are permissible. A 1-Way deny order to block outgoing local calls will be provisioned. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THE TARIFF REGULATION IS IN DMS-100 AND DMS-10 CENTRAL OFFICES WHEN THERE IS NOT THE ABILITY TO PROVISION A 1-WAY DENIAL."

Qwest below response states: "This CR will continue to remain in a denied status. ALTHOUGH THE SWITCH MAY HAVE CAPABILITY OF A TW-WAY DENIAL, THE STATE COMMISSION DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THIS PRACTICE. Qwest's Consumer division has confirmed we do not provide a two-way suspension to our end users in the states of Washington or Oregon complying with the requirements of those states."

These statements IN CAPS are in direct conflict with each other, please advise. Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest Region

December 30, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin, MCI: Liz, This email is to provide you with the current written response to your CMP CR, SCR070103-01 (Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistenty across Qwest 14 state footprint). This is the response that was provided at the December Systems CMP Meeting, by Michelle Thacker in the Qwest Process Organization: "Additional research was conducted by Qwest regarding SCR070103-01. This CR will continue to remain in a denied status. Although the switch may have capability of a two-way denial, the state commission does not allow for this practice. Qwest’s Consumer division has confirmed we do not provide a two-way suspension to our end users in the states of Washington or Oregon complying with the requirements of those states. Michelle stated that current PCAT documentation indicating a manual process for two-way denial would be revised to reflect the position of the tariff. Michelle noted that should MCI wish to pursue two-way denial functionality in Washington and Oregon the SRP (Special Request Process) should be used and noted that details regarding the SRP process can be found in exhibit F of the state SGAT." This information will also be in the meeting minutes from the December Systems CMP Meeting, which you have already seen, and will also be added to the CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion of Action Item: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Liz has sent an email requesting additional information and that Michelle Thacker (Qwest) is on the bridge to respond. Michelle Thacker/Qwest stated that following each of the emails and conference calls over the last months, additional research was conducted by Qwest regarding SCR070103-01. This CR will continue to remain in a denied status. Although the switch may have capability of a two-way denial, the state commission does not allow for this practice. Qwest’s Consumer division has confirmed we do not provide a two-way suspension to our end users in the states of Washington or Oregon complying with the requirements of those states. Michelle stated that current PCAT documentation indicating a manual process for two-way denial would be revised to reflect the position of the tariff. Michelle noted that should MCI wish to pursue two-way denial functionality in Washington and Oregon the SRP (Special Request Process) should be used and noted that details regarding the SRP process can be found in exhibit F of the state SGAT. Liz Balvin/MCI asked for that response in writing. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she would send it to Liz. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the PCAT was wrong in the statement regarding manual 2-way suspends. Michelle Thacker/Qwest responded yes and stated that the PCAT was being revised. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest performs 2-way suspends in DMS100 and DMS 10 switches? Michelle Thacker/Qwest stated that she would need to investigate that further in regard to the tariff language. Steve Kast/Qwest stated that Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) responded in an email dated November 18, 2003, to MCI, that "Based upon further investigation, resulting from our November 3, 2003 conference call, this CR will remain in Denied status. Qwest has reviewed tariffs for all 14 states and will be in compliance with the tariff's. Due to Tariff regulations in OR & WA, only 1-Way deny orders are permissible. A 1-Way deny order to block outgoing local calls will be provisioned. The only exception to the tariff regulation is in DMS-100 and DMS-10 central offices when there is not the ability to provision a 1-Way denial. In addition, Qwest has reviewed the Interconnection Agreement and found no reference to 2-way suspensions that would supercede the tariffs. This compliance entails revisions of the PCAT language as well as revision to methods regarding the manual process for 2-way suspensions. The revision to methods has been completed and the revision to the PCAT is in progress." Liz Balvin/MCI asked if that meant that 2-way is allowed in DMS100 and DMS10’s. Michelle Thacker/Qwest stated that she would look into the clarification of that question.

-- December 3, 2003 Email Received from MCI/Liz Balvin: Peggy, MCI ICA's provide the following language (example: Idaho SGAT section 9.11.1.1): "Access to Unbundled Local Switching encompasses line-side and trunk-side facilities, plus the features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch. The features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch include the basic switching function, as well as the same basic capabilities that are available to Qwest’s End User Customers. Unbundled Local Switching also includes access to all vertical features that the Switch is capable of providing, as well as any technically-feasible customized routing functions." Thus, MCI continues to object to the denial provided by Qwest that is defaulting to Tariff Language when our ICA's should apply. Please advise. Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest Region

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Barb Carlson/Qwest stated that this CR remains in Denied Status. Barb stated that Qwest has reviewed tariffs for all 14-states and will be in compliance with those tariffs. Due to Tariff regulations in OR & WA, only 1-way deny orders are permissible. A 1-way deny order to block outgoing local calls will be provisioned. Barb further stated that the only exception to the tariff regulation is in DMS-100 and DMS-10 Central Offices when there is not the ability to provision a 1-way denial. Barb stated that in addition, Qwest has reviewed the Interconnection Agreement and found no reference to 2-way suspensions that would supercede the tariffs. Barb stated that this compliance entails revisions of the PCAT language as well as revisions to methods regarding the manual process for 2-way suspensions. The revision to methods has been completed and the revision to the PCAT is in progress. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she is still not 100% clear why the Interconnection Agreement is not used and why Qwest is stating that suspensions are not in the Interconnection Agreement. Liz stated that she would like to discuss this with her legal team and requested that this matter remain open.

- November 18, 2003 Email sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Liz, Based upon further investigation, resulting from our November 3, 2003 conference call, this CR will remain in Denied status.

November 3, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Liz Balvin/MCI, Michelle Singer-Nelson/MCI, T.D./MCI, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Lesley Wood/Qwest, Barb Carlson/Qwest, Kit Thomte/Qwest Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to advise MCI that this CR, SCR070103-01, remains in Denied Status. Peggy stated that analysis was performed on the tariffs, across the 14-state region and the result of the analysis is that the CR is to remain Denied based on regulatory ruling/legal implications. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she is questioning the denial due to the Qwest web site stating that the Western region allows 2-way suspensions, manually. Liz stated that she does not understand why the Interconnection Agreement would not apply here, and why Qwest is applying the denial based on tariffs. Liz stated that she believes that this request should be granted due to the Interconnection agreement. Liz stated that she questiones the denial for 2-reasons. The first reason is because Qwest currently allows on a manual basis, and secondly because the Interconnection Agreement should apply, not the tariff, because this is a UNE-P request and UNE-P is driven out of the Interconnection Agreement. Lesley Wood/Qwest stated that the Interconnection Agreement is a good point and stated that she is not entirely convinced that this is considered a UNE-P feature. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it is a feature of the switch and that the Interconnection Agreement provides for switch features. Lesley Wood/Qwest stated that Qwest will need to take this back and review the Interconnection Agreement. Michelle Singer-Nelson/MCI stated that she is the regulatory representative and stated that prior to the next call, if Qwest's position remains the same, that more thorough information, in writing, is needed. Michelle stated that MCI is hoping that after Qwest looks into the Interconnection Agreements, that the denial will be reversed. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like information ASAP and does not want this CR to miss being included in another IMA Prioritization. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest will continue to research and schedule the next meeting as soon as the Interconnection Agreement research has been done. Peggy stated that the next IMA Prioritization is currently scheduled to take place after the November Systems CMP Meeting. The call was concluded.

- October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Phyllis Sunins/Qwest stated that the investigation is continuing. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR was denied over a month ago and asked why it is taking so long to figure this out. Phyllis Sunins/Qwest stated that Qwest wants to make sure that the right decision was made and that accurate information will be provided as the investigation results. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR was postponed from the 15.0 vote and does not want to wait until November CMP for the answer. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that a meeting will be scheduled with MCI as soon as the investigation has been completed. There were no additional questions or comments.

October 8, 2003 Email to Liz Balvin - MCI: Hello Liz, RE: Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint. I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that I have not forgotten about you or your CR. We are still doing some analysis and will schedule the meeting with you as soon as the analysis is complete. This should only take a few more weeks. Thank you so much for your patience. The action items associated to the CR will be in the October Systems Distribution Package for next week's CMP Meeting. The update will be that we are continuing to research the issue. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

September 5, 2003 Conference Call: ATTENDEES: Liz Balvin/MCI, Barb Carlson/Qwest, and Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to discuss the Denial of MCI’s request, SCR070103-1 Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint. Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) stated that the Qwest has reviewed the denial and that the denial would stand based on the tariff references provided to MCI. Peggy asked Liz (MCI) if she had the opportunity to read the tariffs referenced. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she had not, but that she had talked with her tariff folks about the denial. Liz stated that MCI’s request is for mechanization of 2-way suspensions. Liz stated that Qwest does this manually today and does not understand why it cannot be mechanized. Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest stated that it is not a question of whether it can be mechanized, the denial is based on the language in the tariffs. Peggy read the excerpt from the tariffs: Oregon - Exchange & Network Tariff, General Regulations -Conditions of Offering Service 2.2.9 (E) 1 states "Temporary disconnect means the service will be restricted to either incoming or outgoing service." The Washington- Exchange and Network Services Tariff, General Regulations - Conditions of Offering Service, 2.3.6 Billing (G) 1 states "Temporary disconnection means the service will be restricted to either incoming or outgoing service." Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the PCAT states that for two-way temporary disconnects, you must issue your request manually and note in REMARKS "two-way denial". Liz asked that if Qwest is currently doing manually, why would Qwest not mechanize it and asked that if it is the tariff for 1-way only, why is Qwest doing it manually. Barb Carlson/Qwest stated that she would take an action item to check into why 2-way suspends are occurring manually. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the CR also requested that suspends flow through and stated that the denial did not address that piece. Barb Carlson/Qwest stated that suspends do currently flow through for a 1-way suspend. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they are receiving rejects. Barb Carlson/Qwest stated that the 1-way suspends are flowing through and asked Liz for examples of the rejects so she can check into them. Barb noted that not every switch allows it to flow through, such as a DMS restriction. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she understood that and stated that she believes that MCI is getting rejects. Liz agreed to provide examples of 1-way suspends not flowing through. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that another call would be scheduled to discuss the action items and asked Liz for her availability. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that next Thursday or Friday would work. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest concluded the call and stated that the follow-up call details would be emailed today.

- September 4, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Hi Liz, I am now the CRPM for your submitted CMP CR, SCR070103-01 Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistenty across Qwest 14 state footprint. I have scheduled a conference call to discuss the Qwest Response to this request. Call details are: DATE: Friday, September 5, 2003 TIME: 9:00 a.m. CALL IN #: 1-877-564-8688 CONFERENCE ID: 8571927 Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

- September 2, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/MCI: Laurel, Please verify I understand what we are attempting to accomplish: The CR states "allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint." Qwest response states "regulation prohibits Qwest from offering automatic two-way suspensions in Washington, Oregon, and Northern Idaho. The tariff information can be found the in following sections: Oregon - Exchange & Network Tariff, General Regulations -Conditions of Offering Service 2.2.9 (E) 1 & 2 Termination of Service - Company Initiated and Washington- Exchange and Network Services Tariff, General Regulations - Conditions of Offering Service, 2.3.6 Billing (G)1 - Temporary Disconnect Due to Nonpayment."

MCI questioned the denial based on the following: 1) The Part I of the CR requested financial suspends to flow through in the Western Region. The Qwest response did not address this portion of the request. 2) Part II of the CR requested that two-way suspensions be processed consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint. Per Qwest documentation, two-way suspensions can be ordered in the Western Region but only on a manual basis (see following): URL: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/tdnpr.html State: Arizona, Colorado, Southern Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, or Wyoming Switch Type: All Types Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: All Types except DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing Only NOTE: For two-way temporary disconnects, you must issue your request manually and note in REMARKS "two-way denial".

State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls

Thus, MCI questioned why two-way suspensions could be handled manually and yet restricted systematically. I am available Thursday or Friday during the following times: Thursday all but between 10 - 11 am. Friday all but between 2 - 3 pm. Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Laurel Nolan/Qwest reviewed the denial and stated that Qwest was unable to fulfill this request because of the tariffs in WA, OR and ID-N. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she had checked with her legal team and that they could not find any language stating that the two-way denials could not flow through. She stated that they wanted the ability to have two-way suspensions performed. She continued that she didn’t understand why the request was denied for two-way because currently Qwest can complete this function manually. Liz then stated that she still wants the ability for two-way suspension. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that she would schedule a call between MCI and Qwest SMEs to discuss further. Liz Balvin/MCI agreed.

- Email from Laurel Nolan to Liz Balvin August 14, 2003 Liz, Per our conversation, Qwest is unable to provide flow through of 2-way denials in Northern Idaho, Washington, and Oregon due to the tariff. Through our research it was determined that 1-way denials do flow through in these areas and that 2-way denials do flow through in the other states. If you believe that the system is not working according to the above statement it would be wonderful if you could provide examples. I would also be happy to host a call between Qwest SMEs and MCI if you believe it would be helpful. Thanks, Laurel CMP

CenturyLink Response

February 13, 2004 Qwest Response to Escalation SCR070103-01E20:

Liz Balvin MCI

Dear Ms. Balvin:

This letter is concerning the Escalation Response Qwest submitted to you on January 19, 2004. Qwest continued to review this escalation response, based on MCI’s request, and has determined that the CMP Change Request (CR) will be changed from a 'Denied' to an 'Active' status. Qwest, through the Wholesale Change Management Process (CMP), will work with MCI and the CLEC community in determining the necessary systems/operations changes and timelines required for this CR.

In CMP CR SCR070103-01-E20, MCI requested two way suspensions for UNE-P and Resale. Qwest will be working to implement this request for UNE-P, however Qwest will continue to offer the same suspension services on resold accounts that it offers Qwest retail customers. At this time, Qwest offers two way suspension orders to Qwest retail customers in Washington, Oregon, and Northern Idaho when those customers are served from Nortel DMS-10 and DMS-100 central offices. In all other cases, Qwest offers one way suspension services to Qwest retail customers in these states. The one-way suspension allows Qwest retail customers to receive incoming calls.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 965-3709, or by e-mail at Loretta.A.Huff@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Loretta Huff Senior Director/Wholesale Service Delivery Qwest

-- January 19, 2004 Qwest Response to Escalation SCR070103-01-E20: Liz, Attached is the Qwest response to your escalation # SCR070103-01-E20. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Jim:

Escalation # SCR070103-01-E20 January 19, 2004

Liz Balvin MCI

Dear Ms. Balvin:

This letter is in response to MCI Escalation # SCR070103-01-E20 regarding the MCI position that Qwest inappropriately denied to allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N, and that Qwest process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest 14 state footprint. The MCI issues, in blue font, raised in this escalation and the associated Qwest responses are as follow:

MCI Issue: Qwest documented procedures URL: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/tdnpr.html states "State: Arizona, Colorado, Southern Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, or Wyoming Switch Type: All Types Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: All Types except DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing Only NOTE: For two-way temporary disconnects, you must issue your request manually and note in REMARKS "two-way denial". State: Northern Idaho, Washington or Oregon Switch Type: DMS Type of Restriction: Outgoing and incoming calls". NOTE: Qwest provides ability to order two-way suspensions in the Western Region on a manual basis.

Qwest Response: Qwest agrees that the information in the Temporary Disconnection for Non-payment/Restore PCAT is not clear and (for WA and OR) is incorrect (see #2 below). To clarify, in states other than WA and OR, where two-way suspensions are allowed and provided, the process for requesting two-way suspensions is as described in the PCAT. Qwest will update the PCAT to both clarify the process and application for two-way suspensions and correct the PCAT relative to the regulatory restrictions for WA and OR, (see the next Qwest Response below).

MCI Issue: Upon receipt of MCI's change request to systematically allow the ordering of two-way suspensions, Qwest not only denied the CR based on retail tariff language but is expected to update the above documentation such that CLECs cannot order entirely. Qwest stated "This compliance entails revisions of the PCAT language as well as revision to methods regarding the manual process for 2-way suspensions. The revision to methods has been completed and the revision to the PCAT is in progress" (email from Qwest 11/18/03).

Qwest Response: As indicated by Michelle Thacker on December 17, 2003, and subsequently provided via email on December 18, 2003 and documented in the CMP CR, the PCAT document located on URL: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/pcat/tdnpr.html, is incorrect and will be revised to reflect the OR and WA state regulatory requirements of only allowing one-way suspensions of service except in DMS10 and DMS 100 switches where only two-way suspensions are technically feasible.

MCI Issue: MCI Interconnect Agreements (ICA's) state "Access to Unbundled Local Switching encompasses line-side and trunk-side facilities, plus the features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch. The features, functions, and capabilities of the Switch include the basic switching function, as well as the same basic capabilities that are available to Qwest's End User Customers. Unbundled Local Switching also includes access to all vertical features that the Switch is capable of providing, as well as any technically-feasible customized routing functions" (SGAT section 9.11.1.1)" Thus, when ordering UNE-P POTS, MCI's ICA's apply, not Qwest retail tariff.

Qwest Response: The switch capability associated with two-way suspensions is not currently listed/identified as a UNE in either existing Interconnection Agreements or Qwest’s SGAT. In addition, based on WA and OR state regulatory rules, Qwest is prohibited from providing two-way suspensions to customers in the states of WA and OR except in DMS10 and DMS100 switches which are technically limited to a two-way suspension switch functionality.

MCI Issue: In addition to MCI's ICA's, the FCC regulations require Qwest to provide MCI all the features and functions of the switch when we buy switching unbundled network elements (UNEs) (47 CFR Section 51.319(c)(1). Qwest denial states "Although the switch may have capability of two-way denial, the State Commission does not allow for this practice." (12/30/03 Email from Qwest) Please note, this restriction applies to Qwest retail ONLY, not wholesale whereby contract language supercedes.

Qwest Response: Qwest continues to recommend that MCI pursue two-way suspensions in OR and WA by way of the Special Request Process (SRP). A SRP request would determine if two-way suspensions are technically feasible in the switches in OR and WA, and would result in an ICA amendment that would go before the OR and WA state commissions for review/approval. This would bring the issue of OR and WA’s current position on two-way suspensions to those state commissions for either approval for MCI and Qwest to move forward in establishing this capability or would result in a continued denial of MCI’s request (assumedly for the same reasons those state commissions do not allow Qwest to do two-way suspensions in those states).

MCI Issue: Qwest inappropriately denied MCI's change request SCR070103-01. Not only is Qwest denying the systematic means to order two-way suspension but intends to eliminate the ability to order on a manual basis, restricting CLECs all together.

Qwest Response: Qwest does not agree that the denial of MCI’s change request SCR070103-01 is inappropriate. In addition, Qwest is not "eliminating the ability to order on a manual basis"; Qwest is correcting information in the PCAT that is currently incorrect. The ability to order two-way suspensions on a manual basis will remain intact and the PCAT will be corrected to reflect the exceptions for OR and WA (non-DMS10 and DMS100 switches) where this capability is not available.

MCI Issue: MCI contracts and FCC regulations require that Qwest provide all features available with a particular switch. What this means is that MCI is not limited to what Qwest provides its retail customers. MCI must be provided access to existing features to be able to innovate and provide competition to our customers. Thus, Qwest cannot restrict two-way suspensions.

Qwest Response: Qwest does not agree that we are arbitrarily restricting two-way suspensions or otherwise not providing MCI with access to features in a particular switch. To summarize Qwest’s position: ? Two-Way Suspensions are not currently identified as a UNE in either the ICA or SGAT. ? Due to regulatory constraints in OR and WA, Qwest is prohibited from providing two-way suspensions in those states, with the specific exception of DMS10 and DMS100 switches. ? MCI has the opportunity to pursue this switch capability through the SRP, obtain this function as a UNE, if approved, and bring to closure the issues associated with the OR and WA regulatory limitations.

In conclusion, the request to allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N, and that Qwest process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest’s 14 state footprint will remain in deny status.

Please contact me by telephone at (303) 965-3709, or by e-mail at Loretta.A.Huff@qwest.com if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Loretta Huff Senior Director/Wholesale Service Delivery Qwest

CC: Lynn Notarianni Connie Winston Beth Foster Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR070103-01, dated 07/01/03, titled: Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. In addition, process two-way suspensions consistently across Qwest’s 14 state footprint.

CR Description: “Financial suspend orders in WA, OR and ID-N currently require manual handling. MCI seeks automation of financial suspend orders in the Western Region. In addition, two-way suspensions are not consistent across Qwest 14 state footprint. MCI seeks to have two-way suspensions processed in one of the two methods consistently: 1) Automatic two way suspension or 2) Make use of the suspend type field across all states to specify if the suspension should be one-way or two-way”

Expected Deliverable: “That financial suspend orders flow through for Western Region and two-way suspensions are consistently processed throughout Qwest’s 14 state footprint.”

History: A clarification meeting was held on July 10, 2003 with MCI and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR070103-01, dated 07/01/03, titled: Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that regulation prohibits Qwest from offering automatic two-way suspensions in Washington, Oregon, and Northern Idaho. The tariff information can be found the in following sections: Oregon - Exchange & Network Tariff, General Regulations -Conditions of Offering Service 2.2.9 (E) 1 & 2 Termination of Service - Company Initiated and Washington- Exchange and Network Services Tariff, General Regulations – Conditions of Offering Service, 2.3.6 Billing (G)1 - Temporary Disconnect Due to Nonpayment.

Qwest is denying your request for CR SCR070103-01, dated 07/01/03, titled: Allow financial suspend orders to flow through for WA, OR, and ID-N based on regulatory ruling/legal implications.

Sincerely,

Qwest

Description Of Change

REVISED CR: Description of Change/Exception:

Qwest currently uses 202109 and 202110. This CR requests the use of 202409 and 202410 in all regions.

ORIGINAL CR: Description of Change/Exception:

While Qwest’s Eastern & Western regional files appropriately populate the Billing Company NPA/NXX field on a 202109 and 202110 record (cols 28-33), the Central region file changes this field with each file. In doing so, MCI cannot identify the headers as being in a specific invoice sequence.

Example of Qwest/Central:

TOL.#CO.R730.BJ97M02Z(0)

An example of data populated:

20210903052025361537229722948078600000000000000000

^^^^^^

20210903052026361537229722930366600000000000000000

^^^^^^

NOTE: Data discrepancy ^^^^^^

Example of Qwest/Eastern:

An example of data populated:

^^^^^^

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

That Qwest consistently populate Billing Company NPA/NXX field on a 202109

record with the same value.

Note: 202110 was added in the Clarification Meeting.

Description Of Change

This Change Request is proposing that Qwest modify the manual reject Codes and Descriptions provided on ISC rejected LSRs. Currently, MCI is identifying 4-5 different reject codes (ORD XXX) selected by ISC reps and associated generic descriptions that don’t specifically address the nature of the issue with the rejected LSR. Rather, ISC reps utilize the LEC Remarks field on the Reject Notifier. MCI is proposing Qwest make available more options to ISC reps and that those codes/descriptions more specifically identify the cause or causes of the manual clarification. Reps could choose more that a single code/description (all reasons that failed manual review), and provided multiple reject responses with unique codes and descriptions. If additional information needs to be conveyed, reps remarks could be appended to the description rather than entered in Remarks. This would allow CLEC error correction reps to only review the Code and Description fields. In addition, it would allow CLECs greater accuracy in reporting and auditing Reject Notifiers, allowing CLECs to address self initiated issues more timely, without having to review Codes, Description and LEC Remarks fields.

Liz Balvin/MCI cited an example of a call forwarding where they received 6 rejects and that it is very manual intensive to look at the remarks. Denise Martinez/Qwest said that she thought we were addressing some of these concerns in 13.0 on the LR form. She stated that she would take and action item to research further and to contact Michelle Thacker/Qwest to discuss. She also asked MCI to send examples of any other scenarios they are encountering. Doug stated that maybe some of the other CLECs could provide other examples.

Description Of Change

This Change Request is proposing that certain manual edits in Qwest’s current UNEP provisioning processing be moved to the BPL edits. MCI believes this would be more accurate and less dependent on manual review and possible error. MCI currently observes manual review of LSRs that have DSL and Narrowband ISP Billing USOCs on the Account, certain Address Fields and Name Matching criteria. It is proposed that those manual edits and processes (Currently the ISC removes Narrowband USOCs) be automated, minimizing errors and hopefully maximizing ‘flow thru’. If this CR is accepted, it is proposed that the manual review process be reviewed with the CLEC community to make sure all manual issues are addressed for the community as a whole.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Liz Balvin (MCI) was ok to close this CR.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would contact Liz Balvin/MCI to determine if this CR can be withdrawn.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she feels the way the response on this CR has been handled is unacceptable. She stated that she was told originally that this CR was withdrawn from the 15.0 Commitment List and was not told why until today. Liz also stated that when she reviews the response she hopes to find that Qwest has completed the work. Connie Winston/Qwest apologized for the delay in the response and stated that if MCI finds that the work has been done, the CR can be withdrawn.

1/21/03 Response to action item

SCR042903-02 It was Qwest’s expectation that this CR was asking for automation of the DLS and Narrowband ISP Billing USOC’s or Accounts with DVDP and certain address fields and name matching criteria. From Qwest’s perspective, the Qwest systems have always been able to handle the address fields and name matching criteria piece of this request with minimal manual intervention.

Qwest believes that the DLS and Narrowband ISP Billing USOC’s or Accounts with DVDP functionally was implemented in backend systems which were enhanced to improve flow-through in June of 2003. While the CLECs will not be receiving a reject from the BPL, CLECs orders are not falling to manual handling since the enhanced backend systems are flowing-through these particular LSRs.

While there will always be the potential for LSRs to fall to manual handling, the manual processes have been updated to ensure that the manual processes mirror those of the automated flow. Through Qwest’s research we have been unable to identify any additional functionality that would be required for this MCI enhancement.

SCR042903-02 Automate BPL Manual Review of LSR

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI has low interest in this candidate if SCR042303-01 is voted high.

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed the description of the CR. Liz also stated that she provided examples of edits they would like to a see up front and would like Qwest to provide any other suggestions.

John Gallegos/Qwest said that we have not had a chance to look at those specific examples. John asked everyone to send examples of any other edits that they would like Qwest to review.

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if the LOE was specific to the items listed in the description.

John Gallegos/Qwest said yes

Introduction of Attendees Liz Balvin - MCI, Doug Lacy - MCI, Pat Gurnsey- MCI, Michelle Thacker - Qwest, Shon Higer - Qwest, Cindy Schwartz - Qwest, Suzie Enney - Qwest, Conrad Evans - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest, Denise Martinez - Qwest

Review Description of Change This Change Request is proposing that certain manual edits in Qwest’s current UNEP provisioning processing be moved to the BPL edits. MCI believes this would be more accurate and less dependent on manual review and possible error. MCI currently observes manual review of LSRs that have DSL and Narrowband ISP Billing USOCs on the Account, certain Address Fields and Name Matching criteria. It is proposed that those manual edits and processes (Currently the ISC removes Narrowband USOCs) be automated, minimizing errors and hopefully maximizing ‘flow thru’. If this CR is accepted, it is proposed that the manual review process be reviewed with the CLEC community to make sure all manual issues are addressed for the community as a whole. Cindy Schwartz/Qwest clarifiied that MCI wants the BPL edit upfront instead of on the backend edits and provided the example of the DVD FID. She also asked if MCI was referring to volume ISP arrangements. MCI said yes.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted The Interface impacted is IMA Common and the products are Unbundled Loop, Resale, UNE, UNE-P.

Identify/Confirm CLEC's Expectation MCI is requestiing that certain manual edits in Qwest’s current UNEP provisioning processing be moved to the BPL edits.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests N/A

Establish Action Plan MCI will present this CR in the May 22, 2003 CMP Systems Meeting.

Description Of Change

Qwest has a recovery process which detects when outgoing transaction transmittal have failed. If there are 100 or more transactions in the recovery directory, the CLEC's outbound transactions are suspended. MCI requests that the threshold be set at 1000 transactions prior to suspending CLEC’s outbound transactions. The increase would allow CLECs time to correct interface issues prior to suspension. In addition, trouble tickets would not need to be initiated by CLECs to re-activate the trading partnership.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

That Qwest recovery process threshold be increased from 100 to 1000 prior to suspending CLEC’s outbound transactions.

SCR050103-01 Change of Recovery Threshold from 100 to 1000. Review Possible Process Solutions (originated by MCI) SCR050103-01 Recovery Threshold from 100-1000. Review the Possibility of CLECs Changing the Threshold Depending on Projected Volume (originated by MCI) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is not a process solution available to do this. Connie stated that the LOE is provided (1700 to 2500 hours). Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest does not recommend this CR. Connie stated that it could take quite a while to reach a threshold of 1000 and to activate the alarms. Connie stated that it could take a while to reach the threshold during slow time periods or if you are a small CLEC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest continues to caution the CLECs even though this will be configurable for each CLEC. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that the LOE provided is to make this CLEC specific. There were no questions or comments. These action items were closed.

Excerpt May Monthly Meeting May 22, 2003

SCR050103-01 Increase Qwest’s recovery process threshold Liz Balvin/MCI presented the CR and noted that currently MCI cannot react because the threshold is currently too small at 100. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest has provided an LOE, but that it involves some re-architecturing of the process. She stated that Qwest wanted to discuss this CR with the CLECs because Qwest felt that it would be a good idea to make this change configurable by CLEC. She stated that it would not be beneficial for each CLEC to have a threshold of 1000. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that obviously MCI would hit the threshold quickly when they are busy, but not for a long period of time when the CLEC is not busy. She stated that Qwest would like to send out an alarm when Qwest knows that a CLEC is having trouble. Winston continued that if the threshold were raised to 1000 then, for example over the weekends, the alarms would not go off for a very long time and that there would be a large queue. John Barard/Covad asked if there was another way to solve MCI’s issue without shutting them off. Liz Balvin/MCI suggested looking at process changes. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest could look at additional process changes that would resolve some of MCI’s concerns. She stated that Qwest currently calls the CLEC when a problem arises. She stated that if the threshold were raised to 1000 then Qwest would be aware of the issue for a longer period. She gave the example a problem happening late Friday and that it might be Monday mid-morning until Qwest knows that there is a problem. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they had been in production since January and that they had hit the threshold 7-8 times already. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the problem was very different by CLEC and that Qwest had a PID in place. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that she wanted to take the issue offline and discuss it with her team. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the change would definitely affect AT&T Consumer. She asked if there was currently a process in place for notification. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that there was currently a process in place where internally pages were distributed when a CLEC goes in queue and they are suspended. He continued that in pre-order there is a timeout set and if a CLEC does not get a response they can call the help desk and escalate the ticket. He stated that Qwest works through the issues through the production support process. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that the numbers are lower for their consumer division. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the threshold is Qwest’s alert to let the CLECs know that there is a problem. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that many times having the CLECs recycle their machine could solve the problem. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like Qwest to look at process change options. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that Qwest could certainly look at possible process changes. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that maybe Qwest could look at holding the threshold at 100 for an alarm, but not suspending. She stated that she did not know if this was possible, but that the team would look into it. Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if the threshold would be permanent once it was set or if the CLECs could adjust it based on their projections. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated Qwest could investigate the possibility, but that she was not sure if it was feasible. Connie Winston/Qwest said that this was not included in the LOE. Liz Balvin/MCI asked about the option of having the CLEC set their own threshold. She asked how the process would work. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it was not a configuration by hour. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that under the process, the CLEC would tell Qwest if they wanted their threshold set at 100 or 1000. She stated that this would be a one-time setting. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the change request was prioritized high enough for IMA 15.0, then what would the work be associated with this change. She asked if the LOE provided, 2500 hours, would only be for changing MCI or if the LOE would apply to all CLECs. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that the LOE provided was to implement and then Qwest would receive the request for threshold from all CLECs. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was up-front work that would be required if the CLEC wanted to change their threshold. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Liz’s statement was correct. Connie Winston/Qwest suggested that the CLECs follow up with their IT teams to see if they are interested in this change. She stated that Qwest would look into other process options and the option of having an alarm, but not suspending the CLEC. She said that Qwest would also look into daily re-configuration or different thresholds on the weekend.

Clarification Call May 9, 2003

Attendees: Liz Balvin-MCI, John Gallegos-Qwest, Shonna Pashonic-Qwest, Suzy Enny-Qwest, Cimberlie Chambers-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Samantha Kratzet, Michelle Thacker-Qwest, Woldey Assefa-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Description of requested change and expected deliverable: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the change request and asked Balvin-MCI if there were any additions or changes. Balvin-MCI stated that MCI sends approximately 60 requests per minute. She stated that if the threshold was expanded to 1000 then it would give MCI approximately 18 minutes.

Review of interface, products impacted, and areas impacted: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the information from the CR form. Kratzet-Qwest asked if this change request only applied to pre-ordering or if it should also be ordering. Balvin-MCI stated that it should also be ordering. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would make that change in the CR.

Description Of Change

Currently, Qwest PREMIS database is the only source to determine end user zones for the states of MT and WY and CLECs are required to perform preorder address validation queries. Qwest provides zone information for all other states via Geographic Deaveraged Zone Tables on the “MSA & Geographic Zone Data for Pricing, Density, and Maintenance and Repair Intervals” web site. These tables enable CLECs to determine pricing that Qwest will impose. Per Qwest, there are four zones for each state (MT and WY)…base, zone 1, zone 2, zone 3. MCI requests that Qwest provide the zone information stored in PREMIS and make available to CLECs for the states of MT and WY such that pricing can be determined.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

That Qwest add zone tables for MT and WY.

Project Meetings

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she wants to change the CR. Liz stated that she originally wanted a data dump of Premis that is available on a URL. Liz said that the data is not user friendly to load into a database and is now requesting a clean up of the data. Liz also stated that she has an additional request that Qwest populate the 4 digits at the end of the zip code. Liz said that this field would create a unique identifier. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that is sounded like MCI has specific information in mind. She asked that MCI please include that information in the description of the change request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she understands MCI’s request to have the data more readable and that may be doable. The other request may be more difficult and may need additional research. Connie stated that since the request has changed from the original CR, a new CR should be issued clearly documenting what MCI is requesting. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would issue a new CR and withdraw this CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she agreed that the issuance of a new CR would be cleaner.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest asked Liz Balvin/MCI is she was interested in withdrawing the CR on Rate zones for MT and WY. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she received an email from Laurel Nolan/Qwest and that she thought it would be a good idea to place the information that was provided by Qwest onto the web site. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that it was available under the OSS Interface information, but that it was not on the rate zone information page. She continued that there was no systems work that needed to be done. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it could be placed into pending withdraw and that MCI will look to close next month.

Subject: Re: SCR050103-02 Rate Zones WY Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 15:27:17 -0600 From: Dan Busetti Organization: Qwest Information Technologies To: liz.balvin@mci.com CC: "'Laurel Nolan'" , "Tom Priday (E-mail)" References: 1

Liz, Here is a similar answer I received for Wyoming:

For Wyoming, each exchange has 4 different rate zones: Inside Base Rate Area, Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3. The three "Zones" are the geographically deaveraged priced areas which lie outside of the base rate area. So, in reality, we have 4 rate zones; base rate area and 3 rural zones. The SAG will show the rate zones under the column "RateZ". The first two characters under the column, 01, 02, or 03 represent the rate for the Base Rate Area. U1 or L1 is for the rate for Zone 1; U2 or L2 is for the rate for Zone 2; and U3 is for the rate for Zone 3. The base rate area designations 01, 02, 03 are a hold over from a time when there were three different rates for customers within the base rate area of different size exchanges (we used to call them rate groups); however, there is currently a single rate for customers living inside the base rate area, regardless of the size of the exchange. Therefore, 01, 02, or 03 are all the same rate for customers inside the base rate area.

Laurel,

Upon review of the following URLs that Dan Busetti so kindly help me access:

ftp://199.168.32.150/incoming/ima/MTA.SAGA (Montana)

ftp://199.168.32.150/incoming/ima/CHY.SAGA (Cheyenne and SW WY)

ftp://199.168.32.150/incoming/ima/CPR.SAGA (Casper and Northern WY)

MCI notes the following: MT list, there are only 2 rates/zones (01 & 02), and on some of the NPA/NXXs, there are additional characters ; for instance, NPA/NXX 406/284 is listed twice - once the Ratez is 02, the second time it is 02U2. Both links for WY yield similar results. However, in WY, there are 3 different rates/zones (01,02,& 03), but again U1, U2, U3, L1, etc...

Per MCI's contracts and FCC requirements, there should be 4 zones, thus please explain why there are only 2 or 3 listed. In addition, please clarify the duplicate npa/nxx's and define the populated zone identifiers (01U1, etc).

Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest Internal Line - V625-7305 External Line - 303-217-7305 Pager (888) 900-7221

CMP Monthly Meeting- excerpt from meeting minutes May 22, 2003

SCR050103-02 Provide zone information for MT and WY (originated by MCI) Liz Balvin/MCI presented the CR.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest held an additional clarification call with Liz to review and that this was already available in pre-order. What Qwest and MCI agreed on was Qwest providing Premis info on a monthly basis. She continued that Qwest currently provide monthly downloads of Premis to a server. She continued that the information is updated around the 10th of the month. She said that the information is currently available on the wholesale site under the CLEC-Resellers Resource Guide to OSS Interfaces. She said there was a section that tells you how to download by SAGA. The information will download into a spreadsheet and it gives you the ranges, rate zones, and a lot of other information.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the information had the zones, the TNS, and addresses.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it has the zones and addresses, but not TNs.

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would look at the information. She said that she thought that MCI needed the NPA/NXX information.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when Qwest discussed the change with MCI, it was in terms of zone and address. She stated that there could be multiple zones within a wire center.

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it sounded like the information that MCI needed. She said that she would look at it and respond back to Qwest

Connie Winston/Qwest asked Balvin (MCI) if she wanted to leave the CR in evaluation.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest could send out the information.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest could send the information out to all CLECs for review. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if this CR would be crossed over to product/process.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated no, that there was no change.

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if the information met their needs then they would withdraw the CR

Additional Clarification Call May 20, 2003

Attendees: Liz Balvin-MCI, Connie Winston-Qwest, Beth Foster-Qwest, Lynn Notarianni-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-Qwest CRPM

Review of requested change: Nolan-Qwest stated that the call had been scheduled to review the CR and investigations by Qwest. She turned the disucssion over to Connie Winston (Qwest). Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest wanted to talk with MCI because the two states, MT and WY, were distance based deaveraging and that the only way the rates can be figured is by address. She stated that Qwest currently gives the CLECs the ability to figure by address. Balvin-MCI stated that what they currently had was a pre-order query and that the CLEC had to have the information of the end user. She stated that what MCI wanted was a data dump out of Premis in order to support their market entry strategy. Winston-Qwest confirmed that MCI wanted a data dump of Premis. She said that Qwest currently provides real time data to the query beciase the data is updated contatantly. She asked if MCI was asking for a daily update. Balvin-MCI stated that she did not want daily updates and that the information would not change dramatically. Notarianni-Qwest asked if MCI was seeking to know where ther line was drawn between the zones so that they would know which boundries they wanted to serve. She stated that MCI could do an online query to see which address fit into each area. Balvin-MCI stated that MCI is focusing on how they get the customers up and going and how they are going to bill those customers. Notarianni-Qwest confirmed that MCI was focusing on how to bill their customers. Balvin-MCI stated that there were boundries set up for all the other states. Notarianni-Qwest stated that MT and WY were not organized the same way. Balvin-MCI stated that they needed to have the data to determine how to bill before they have the customers. Notarianni-Qwest stated that there were two issues 1) on-line transctions and 2) a dump of the data for MT and WY. She stated that this would be an on-going process. Balvin-MCI stated that they were looking for a data dump once a month. Notarianni-Qwest stated that Qwest wanted to make sure that they were addressing the needs of MCI with the change. She asked Balvin (MCI) if there were other states that were organized this way. Balvin-MCI stated that MT and WY were the only states. She stated that all others were CO to CO. She then stated that part of MCI's market entry strategy required the pricing for each end user. Winston-Qwest stated that she had a better understanding of the request. She stated that Premis was ever changing because of new subdivisions and changes in communities. She stated that Qwest would investigate monthly data dumps as requested. Foster-Qwest stated that the CR needed to be updated. Nolan-Qwest stated that she would update the CR and send a copy to Balvin-MCI for approval. Notarianni-Qwest stated that the information would not be kept on the web site as stated in the CR. Winston-Qwest stated that it made more since to send out a file. Balvin-MCI stated that she agreed that the file might be too large for the web site.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions or concers. She stated that she would update the CR and send it to Balvin (MCI). She stated that the CR would be presented at the CMP Meeting by Balvin (MCI) and that Qwest would work to provide a response. She stated that the CR was currently in evaluation because Qwest wanted to have this additional solution meeting with MCI. She stated that it was not garenteed that Qwest would have a response by the Thursday meeting, but that Qwest would make every attempt.

Meeting adjourned.

11/20/03 Systems CMP Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: With the implementation of this change, the CLEC will only have to provide the end user’s TN and SANO on the request. This will enhance the CLEC’s ordering process by eliminating the need to input the End User Name and other address fields on the EU form.

Products: Resale POTS UNE-P

Forms Impacted: LSR EU

Fields Impacted: AN SANO

ACTs: C, D, L, B, T, Y - All UNE products in scope C, D, L, B, T, Y, V, W, Z - Resale POTS

Note: For ACT=T the CLEC must provide the new end-user address information.

Questions & Answer’s:

Q: For ACT T order, will the end users new address be populated in LOC 1? Is this candidate an option, will the address information be allowed? Or are post migration transactions by TN and SANO a requirement and we will receive a reject if the address information is populated? A: Terri Kilker - Qwest responded no, the new address would go in LOC 2. Curt Anderson - Qwest stated that LOC 1 is the old address, TN & SANO is required. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that Qwest is validating the T address with Premis. Terri Kilker - Qwest stated that is correct.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that for UNEP POTS Conversion orders CLECs can still provide the TN and (SANO or AHN) OR TN and Customer Code (QWEST preferred method to ensure exact customer match) A: Curt Anderson - Qwest stated that current functionality for UNE-P conversion orders is not changing. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked to confirm that the process is not changing. Curt Anderson - Qwest confirmed that the process is not changing. Liz Balvin - MCI asked to confirm that front-end and/or back-end validation edits will be removed. Connie Winston - Qwest responded yes. Liz Balvin - MCI asked if will go up against the CRIS CSR. Connie Winston - Qwest responded yes.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

- 3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/WorldCom presented this CR. The status will be changed to pending prioritization.

3/6/03 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees Liz Balvin - WorldCom, Doug Lacy - WorldCom, Shonna Pasionek - Qwest, Monica Manning - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest

Review Requested Description of Change Liz Balvin/WorldCom reviewed the description of change. WorldCom is requesting that Qwest allow post migration transaction order tupes to processed by TN and SANO. This would allow subsequent maintenance order transactions to be processed by populating TN and SANO fields only (ACT = D,C,L,B,T,Y,L).

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted Monica Manning/Qwest asked World Com to clarify the Product family. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that this request is for UNE-P/Resale POTS.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved All appropriate SMEs were on the clarification call.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation WorldCom is requesting that Qwest allow post migration transaction order tupes to processed by TN and SANO. This would allow subsequent maintenance order transactions to be processed by populating TN and SANO fields only (ACT = D,C,L,B).

Establish Action Plan WorldCom will present this Change Request in the March Systems CMP meeting.

Project Meetings

September 16, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was completed in the 15.0 release. The CLEC Community agreed that this CR could be closed.

- August 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was implemented in 15.0 and would remain in CLEC Test. Susie Wells/Qwest stated that she reviewed the PCAT and stated that the information is clearly documented as to what is required and noted that Qwest currently does not edit for FID detail. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when this CR was defined, they used the developer worksheets and those are the changes that were made for this CR. Connie stated that the information is contained within the meeting minutes of this CR. Connie stated that if we went into every product, it would be extremely difficult to get an LSR in the door. Connie stated that we would enforce the required and conditional rules in the developer worksheets. Connie stated that she also reviewed the PCAT to ensure that it was clearly documented and it is. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked if any existing product based rules were altered. Connie Winston/Qwest responded no. This Action item was Closed.

- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest had a response to her MW1 question. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if that was the question regarding static dial tone. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it was stutter dial tone at the 5E Switch, when the provider was other than Qwest. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she did not see that Qwest required it but that the CLEC could invoke it. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she has 64,000 customers with no stutter dial tone because it was required on the LSR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it does have to be on the LSR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this should be a business rule because the PCAT requires it. Liz stated that the requirement is that it needs to be on the LSR and Qwest did not reject it for lack of the FID. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if it is left off, Qwest assumes that you do not want the stutter dial tone. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that the PCAT be read because the PCAT does state that it is required. Liz stated that MCI expected a reject. Liz stated that the requirement is if the USOC is needed, it needs the FID. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would review the PCAT. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it was not a Qwest provisioned USOC. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would work off-line with Liz on this issue.

June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest is still researching an issue with this CR. [Comment received by MCI: The issue surrounds a USOC/FID combination requirement when MWI is ordered as described in Qwest MWI PCAT] Connie Winston/Qwest stated this CR would remain in CLEC Test.

5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the possibility of establishing a new Status Code.

This CR will remain in CLEC Test.

-- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR just deployed with the IMA 15.0 Release and will remain open for another month. There were no questions or comments. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is deploying on April 19, 2004, in the IMA 15.0 Release. There were no questions or comments.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

MEETING MINUTES-February 17, 2004 Hi-Level Walk Through of IMA 15.0 Committed CR's

Attendees: Anne Robberson-Process Analyst (Qwest), Curt Anderson- IT Systems Analyst (Qwest), Diane Burt-Systems Analyst (AT&T), Donna Osborne-Miller - Carrier Relations Manager (AT&T), Dusti Bastian-Process Analyst (Qwest), Ellen McArthur-Process Analyst (Qwest), Hank Martinez-IT Systems Analyst (Qwest), James McCluskey- ILEC Manager (Accenture), John Daugherty-Product Management (AT&T), John Gallegos-IT Manager (Qwest), Kathy Miller-Process Manager (Qwest), Kim Isaacs- ILEC Relations Process Analyst (Eschelon), Kyle Kirves-IT Analyst (Qwest), Linda Miles-Process Manager (Qwest), Lori Langston-Process Manager (Qwest), Marie Acceno-Systems Analyst (AT&T), Nancy Denny-IT Analyst (Qwest), Nicole James-IT Analyst (Qwest), Pat Bratetic-Process Manager (Qwest), Phyllis Burt-Systems Analyst (AT&T), Randy Owen-IT Manager (Qwest), Shon Higer-Process Analyst (Qwest), Shonna Pasionek-IT Analyst (Qwest), Stephanie Prull-EDI Business Analyst (Eschelon), Susie Wells-Product/Process Analyst (Qwest) Meeting Facilitator: Nancy Denny (Qwest)

Purpose: High-level walk-through of the CRs that are committed in the IMA 15.0 Release.

Supporting Documents: Qwest Notification: SYST.02.13.04.F.01366.IMAEDI15.0Cand&DocWkth Documentation containing 15.0 Candidate Summaries: February 17, 2004, attached to notification CRs can be found in the Qwest Wholesale Change Request Interactive Report located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html

Functional Overview: Currently there are fields on the LSR and RS forms that are Required or Conditionally Required for certain product and activity combinations, but contain business rules that are not being enforced with an upfront edit in IMA. A request has been made that all Required and Conditionally Required fields on the LSR and RS forms be enforced with upfront edits in order to minimize the occurrences of the request later erring during Qwest order processing and reduce Qwest rejects. With the implementation of this enhancement Qwest will determine which rules are appropriate for enforcement and which should be stated as informational messages on the developer worksheets.

Form Impacts: LSR RS

Products: All

Activities: All

Meeting Discussion: Anne Robberson provided the overview based on the document provided with the agenda.

James McCluskey-Accenture -(James): Information only means that the rule won’t be enforced? Anne Robberson -Qwest-(Anne): Yes. James: So there’s no implementation required on the CLEC side? Anne: That is correct. John: Qwest just sought to add additional clarity.

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the LOE was very high, but that this would provide all the edits up front for the LSR and Resale forms. She stated that this would help with flow through. Liz stated that this CR is MCI’s highest priority. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked why the Level of Effort was so high. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is due to the complexity of the edits. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that their interest was moderate. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that their interest was moderate.

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the list of fields where an edit can be applied is now provided in the CR. Connie stated that more definition would be provided as this CR gets prioritized high enough in the vote to be worked and the candidate gets defined. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if more information would be provided at that time, as to what the edit will be. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes and noted that Liz (Balvin) may be looking for an edit on every required and conditionally required field. There were no additional questions or comments. This action item was closed.

- June 12, 2003: The following fields have been identified, during an initial high-level analysis of the LSR and RS Developer Worksheets, as potential candidates for additional editing.

LSR FIELDS: RS FIELDS: 1. CCNA 5. RSQTY 2. PON 12. LNA 7. AN 16. TNS 7a. NAN 20. OTN 15. DSPTCH 24. SAN 16. DDD 26. ECCKT 17. APPTIME 28. PIC 17a. APT CON 29. LPIC 21. DFDT 46. IWJK 28. ACT 62.

-- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed the CR description. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that during the Clarification Meeting, the scope was narrowed to the LSR and Resale Forms only, in order to get all edits up front for the LSR and Resale forms. Liz stated that this should alleviate issues in respect to manual fall-out. Liz asked if the LOE of 8000 to 9500 hours is just for the two forms. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes, the LOE provided is only for the LSR and Resale Forms. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest’s current assessment is that it will entail over 30 edits and that this would be a very big change. Connie stated that in sub-setting it and hitting the ones we do the most would be most effective. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that when there is a CR that’s heavy in edits, please have the process and systems people sit at the same table to take into account any manual processes. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked Bonnie (Johnson) to elaborate on her statement. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that when edits were implemented, Qwest has not historically looked into the manual processes that would be impacted. Then, the edits sometimes prevent the manual process from working properly. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that when we talked about this last month, we talked about getting in synch with the centers on manual workarounds and ensure that the manual workarounds are communicated that are in the event notifications. Lynn stated that she believes that Qwest did true up that process. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the list of edits, based on the LOE, could be provided to the CLECs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that they were from the developer worksheets and stated that Qwest is still defining this candidate. Connie stated that we will take an Action Item and provide a read-out at the June CMP Meeting. Liz Balvin/MCI said ok. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she used to get a report that identified fallout and the reasons why. Bonnie stated that the report was not accurate so Qwest stopped providing it. Bonnie stated that the report was still helpful and stated that she has asked her Service Manager for the report. Bonnie stated that she does not know if the report even still exists. Bonnie stated that if Qwest can identify where the CLECs are having problems, the CLECs can address the problems. Bonnie asked if the report was still available. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked Bonnie (Johnson) whom she used to get the report from. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she received it from Annelyn Aficial and that she found the report helpful. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI does the reverse. Liz stated that if MCI cannot figure it out, they call the EDI team. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she is familiar with the report and that Qwest will take an Action Item to look into it.

May 19, 2003 Received Email from Liz Balvin/MCI: That's fine Peggy, Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Management - Qwest

- May 19, 2003 Email Sent to liz Balvin/MCI: Good Afternoon Liz -- Liz, during the Clarification Meeting for your submitted CMP CR, SCR042303-01, we (Qwest) confirmed that the scope of this CR was for the LS and Resale Forms only. This email is asking for your concurrence to revise the CR Title and Description to indicate that the scope is only for those 2 forms. This would be to prevent any future possible confusion. Is it acceptable to you if I change the Title and Description as shown below? Current Title: Implement BPL Edits for All Required and Conditionally Required Fields Current Description: MCI is requesting that that all required/conditional (where the condition exists) fields be edited for in the business processing layer (BPL).

REVISION (in italics) TO READ: Title: Implement BPL Edits for All Required and Conditionally Required Fields on the LSR and Resale Forms. Description: For the LSR and Resale Forms, MCI is requesting that that all required/conditional (where the condition exists) fields be edited for in the business processing layer (BPL).

If it is acceptable, I will make the change and send you a copy of the revised CR. If it is not acceptable, please advise of the verbiage that you would like used. I have attached a copy of the current CR for your review.

Thanks Much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CMP CRPM - Systems 303.896.63320

Clarification Meeting 5/2/03

Introduction of Attendees Liz Balvin/MCI, Bonnie Johnson/MCI, Stephanie Prull/McLeod, Todd Cherminow/Eschelon, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Curt Anderson/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Kimberly Powers/Qwest

Review Description of Change Peggy Esquibel-Reed reviewed the description of this CR MCI is requesting that all required/conditional (where the condition exists) fields be edited for in the business processing layer (BPL).

Confirm Areas and Products Impacted Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the products impacted are Resale, UBL, and UNE-P. The interface impacted is IMA Common.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation Liz Balvin/MCI asked if additional products would increase the LOE. Qwest stated that we will need to review the errors list and disclosure document from the EDI team. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if MCI would be willing to consider looking at a subset of products due to the potential size of the LOE. Liz stated that for now they are looking at the UNE-P product. John also asked if MCI would consider this change for specific screens if the LOE becomes too large. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the LOE could be provided by form. John reiterated that he was looking for ways to keep the LOE from becoming too large. Liz stated that the error list may provide some insight. Monica Manning/Qwest asked if this request was coming about from a specific field that may be causing a problem. Liz stated that it's everything in general. Liz also stated that if there are fields that can be focused on, that would help. Liz stated that she would like the fields to be edited upfront because they drop for manual handling and rejects. The concept is widely requested by the EDI folks. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said that two forms are causing the most problems, LSR and Resale. Resale is the # issue and have problems with the Directory but don't have a lot of rejects. John stated that some edits will help from a format perspective. Accurate data will need to be validated with a downstream system and that is what makes this a large LOE as well as looking at every field not edited today. John also stated that is why we were asking if you would be willing to look at a subset. Liz asked if we could LOE the LSR and Resale forms. She also stated that she would look at the errors list for a high level example. Directory Listings may or may not be pertinent. John stated that we can provide the LOE for those 2 forms and if the LOE is workable, we could probably expand. Stephanie asked if this would only be looking at the current version or would be retroactive. Liz stated that Qwest doesn't do the retroactive. John stated that Qwest's expectation is on a going forward basis. Liz stated that the earliest IMA release would be 15.0. John verified that the scope at this point would be narrowed to the LSR and Resale forms only and Liz agreed.

Project Meetings

September 16, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was completed in the 15.0 release. The CLEC Community agreed that this CR could be closed.

- August 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was implemented in 15.0 and would remain in CLEC Test.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was implemented in 15.0 and would remain in CLEC Test. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if all of the UBL family was included. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes. The Action Item is Closed.

- June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated this CR will remain in CLEC Test for another month per the request of Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she had a walk-on item to discuss in the walk on portion of the meeting.

Emailed Walk-on Request and Discussion for June Systems CMP Meeting - Submitted by MCI: SCR042803-01 Confirm Product List is 2-Wire or 4-Wire Analog (Voice Grade) Loop, 2-Wire or 4-Wire Non-Loaded Loop, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Compatible Loop, Digital Service Level 1 (DS1) Capable Loop, Digital Service Level 3 (DS3) Capable Loop, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Capable Loop, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Channel Optical Carrier Level n (OCn) Capable Loop, Digital Subscriber Line-Integrated Services Digital Network (x-DSL-I) Capable Loop

John Gallegos/Qwest asked where Liz (Balvin/MCI) obtained the product list. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it was from the PCAT and stated that her concern is with DS1 capable loop. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the list provided in response to the action item was the product list from IMA. John stated that he would compare the 2 lists and see if he could map the IMA List to the PCAT.

-- May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would create an action item to research the possibility of establishing a new Status Code.

Connie Winston/Qwest said this CR impacted UBL Loop Products only. Liz Balvin/MCI said that this should reflect all Unbundled Products. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we will update the CR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that we need to be clear on all products and list all, i.e. DS1, DS3, 2-wire, 4-wire etc. This action item remains open. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR just deployed with the IMA 15.0 Release and will remain open for another month. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this is a slick process and asked if it is only for the products listed in the CR or if it is for all local products that can be ordered thru IMA. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she believes that it is for all local products but that she would validate that it is. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is deploying on April 19, 2004, in the IMA 15.0 Release. There were no questions or comments.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

Form Impacts: N/A

Products: N/A

Activities: N/A

Meeting Discussion: Lori Langston provided the overview based on the document circulated with the meeting agenda.

There were no questions.

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the LOE was very high, but that this would provide all the edits up front for the LSR and Resale forms. She stated that this would help with flow through. Liz stated that this CR is MCI’s highest priority. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked why the Level of Effort was so high. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is due to the complexity of the edits. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that their interest was moderate. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that their interest was moderate.

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was an IMA impact. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is an IMA candidate and is for LSR and ASR. There were no additional questions or comments.

- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest stated that NC/NCI would be accommodated on the ASR flow. John stated that another CR, for ASR, is not needed. There were no additional questions or comments. These action items are closed.

- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed the CR description. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that based on the Level of Effort, if there is a database available to access the data. John Gallegos/Qwest stated yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that if the NC/NCI Codes can be accessed via IMA, if it can be used for access orders as well. Liz asked if this is for all loops supported by Qwest. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the effort is for all loops from an LSR perspective. Liz Balvin/MCI stated - that’s great, as the tech pubs is a manual look up. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the folks that submit ASRs also need the information. Liz asked that if they could get access to IMA would they be able to get Loops. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked for clarification as to if what MCI wants is ASR’s for transport products. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he would check into that and asked Liz (Balvin) if she wants this for LIS Trunks. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she will verify if this would be for LIS Trunks. John Gallegos/Qwest requested that Liz (Balvin) send Qwest an email stating her request, so we know exactly what MCI is asking. Liz Balvin/MCI agreed to send the email and stated that she may need to submit a new CR to have it added for the ASR. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort provided is for this CR only and that it supports the effort described in this CR only. (LOE is 2125 to 3525 hours for this CR only) Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR will move to presented status and that Liz is due to provide Qwest with the email. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would send it. There were no additional questions or comments.

Description Of Change

PART I : WCom requests that Qwest implement a new, unique IMA BPL reject code when any one of the three Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature USOCs {MWI - Audible (USOC: MWW), MWI - Visual (USOC: MV5), or MWI – Audible/Visual (USOC: M1W)} is not available. The unique reject code would be systematically returned to the CLEC submitting a LSR requesting MWI (MWW, MV5, or M1W) when the MWI feature is not available to the end customer due to Qwest switch limitations that prevent support of the MWI feature. The reject reason would be that the MWI feature (USOC) is not available.

PART II : WCom requests that Qwest implement a new, unique Jeopardy when any one of the three MWI feature USOCs is not available. The unique jeopardy code would be systematically returned to the CLEC that had submitted the LSR requesting MWI (MWW, MV5, or M1W) when Qwest determines post-FOC that the MWI feature is not available to the end customer due to the CLEC MDSI link not being provisioned / activated with the Qwest switch. The jeopardy reason would be that the MWI feature (USOC) is not available.

Project Meetings

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR could be withdrawn. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR should be withdrawn due to the scope of AT&T’s SCR060903-01. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest is implementing a jeopardy process change if a LSR hits a BPL error. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that it would not be a jeopardy; it would be a reject. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she agrees with that and stated that the CR could be withdrawn.

1/12/04 E-mail received from MCI Peggy/Lynn,

MCI would be willing to withdraw the attached CR under the following conditions:

1) That Qwest document a BPL edit will exist for MWI when not available at the switch with the implementation of AT&T's CR SCR060903-01.

2) That a "process change" will be implemented by Qwest such that any features identified as not available at the switch during the provisioning process will cause orders to be jeopardized. In addition, that these jeopardy notices will impact all orders, regardless of the release.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Liz,

It shouldn't get past the BPL based on the features available in the switch, but if it did for any reason, then yes, it should be jeop'd.

Thanks Lynn,

Question, for the "other" piece of MCI's CR, wouldn't Qwest automatically (process change) provide a jeopardy notice if for some reason an order got past the PBL?

Liz,

This is in response to your questions below regarding SCR060903-01 and SCR021403-01: The AT&T CR covers Part 1 of the MCI request. The BPL will reject the LSR if the feature USOCs on the request are unavailable in the switch. The 15.0 candidate is for UNE-P and Resale POTS.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks!

Kit,

Per Qwest, the 15.0 AT&T change request SCR060903-01 "Reject Message Required If Call Waiting ID Unavailable in Switch" will include up front BPL rejects for ANY features unavailable at the switch, please verify.

Specifically, I'm assuming that it will cover MCI's Part I to SCR021403-01:

PART I : WCom requests that Qwest implement a new, unique IMA BPL reject code when any one of the three Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature USOCs {MWI - Audible (USOC: MWW), MWI - Visual (USOC: MV5), or MWI - Audible/Visual (USOC: M1W)} is not available. The unique reject code would be systematically returned to the CLEC submitting a LSR requesting MWI (MWW, MV5, or M1W) when the MWI feature is not available to the end customer due to Qwest switch limitations that prevent support of the MWI feature. The reject reason would be that the MWI feature (USOC) is not available.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR had moderate importance MCI.

3/20/03 Systems CMP Meeting Liz Balvin/WorldCom presented this Change Request that is requesting a new unique IMA BPL reject code (Part 1) and Jeopardy Code (Part 2) when the MW1, MWV and MV5 features aren’t available. Mallory Paxton/Qwest also addressed questions associated on Part 2 of this change request. (for a Jeopardy after FOC) if Message Waiting turns out not to be available because MDSI facilities are not in place. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that there are only select instances--3 DMS 10 central offices, soon to be expanded to all DMS 10 offices--where Qwest currently asks the CLEC to provide the name of the voice mail provider on the request. Most of Qwest's offices are not DMS 10s. Therefore, in most instances, Qwest is not aware when processing the service order who the voice mail provider is or whether the appropriate links are in place. Mallory Paxton/Qwest asked WorldCom if they intend this CR to include changing the service order format and the LSOG requirements so that the name of the voice mail provider must always be included on a request for stand-alone Message Waiting and this name must be cross-checked against a list of ESPs with MDS/MDSI in the end-user's central office. Mallory said that if not, is there another provision in this CR for how Qwest would identify the voice messaging provider when it is not Qwest and the central office is not a DMS 10. Mallory Paxton/Qwest further explained that since Worldcom is both a CLEC and an ESP, you might be envisioning that Worldcom, the CLEC, would always be ordering Message Waiting to work with voice mail provided by Worldcom, the ESP. However, there is nothing on the service order, except in a DMS 10, to indicate this. In addition, there could be situations where another CLEC or a Retail customer is ordering Message Waiting to work with WorldCom voice mail--or another provider's voice mail--and we would need to be able to provide the same sort of jeopardy notifications to the other CLEC or the Retail customer as well. Liz Balvin/WorldCom said that she did not know but would research these questions Mallory Paxton/Qwest will e-mail these questions to Liz Balvin/Worldcom and copy Lynn Stecklein/Qwest. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the status of this change request will move to pending prioritization.

3/20/03 e-mail received from Mallory Paxton Clarification from questions asked in the CMP March Meeting

Liz,

Re your second request, for a JEP after FOC if Message Waiting turns out not to be available, the CR specifically mentions the situation where Message Waiting is not available because CLEC (actually ESP) MDSI facilities aren't in place.

My concern is that there are only select instances--3 DMS 10 central offices, soon to be expanded to all DMS 10 offices--where Qwest currently asks you to provide the name of the voice mail provider on your request. Most of Qwest's offices are not DMS 10s. Therefore, in most instances, Qwest is not aware when processing the service order who the voice mail provider is or whether the appropriate links are in place.

Do you intend your CR to include changing the service order format--and the LSOG requirements--so that the name of the voice mail provider must always be included on a request for stand-alone Message Waiting and this name must be cross-checked against a list of ESPs with MDS/MDSI in the end-user's central office?

If not, is there another provision in this CR for how Qwest would identify the voice messaging provider when it is not Qwest and the central office is not a DMS 10?

Since Worldcom is both a CLEC and an ESP, you might be envisioning that Worldcom, the CLEC, would always be ordering Message Waiting to work with voice mail provided by Worldcom, the ESP. However, there is nothing on the service order, except in a DMS 10, to indicate this. In addition, there could be situations where another CLEC or a Retail customer is ordering Message Waiting to work with Worldcom voice mail--or another provider's voice mail--and we would need to be able to provide the same sort of jeopardy notifications to the other CLEC or the Retail customer as well.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Becky Oliver - WorldCom reviewed Part 1 and Part 2 of this change request. WorldCom is requesting a new IMA BPL rejectcode when any one of the three Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature USOCs is not available. The unique reject code would be systematically returned to the CLEC submitting a LSR requesting the MWI feature when the MWI feature is not available to the end customer due to Qwest switch limitations. The reject reason would be that the MWI feature is not available. Part 2 - WorldCom is requesting that Qwest implement a new unique Jeopardy when any of the three MWI feature USOCs is not available. The unique jeopardy code would be returned to the CLEC submitting the LSR when Qwest determines post-FOC that the MWI feature is not available to the end customer due to the CLEC MDSI link not being provisioned/activated with the Qwest switch. The jeopardy reason would be that the MWI feature is not available.

Description Of Change

Qwest current process calls for non-fatal errors to be generated and if not worked within 4 hours, resubmitted to CLECs as fatal errors with same PON and Version. This can result in duplicate rejects. WCom recommends a change that would result in a choice of receiving or nor receiving non-fatal rejects based on CLEC criteria. The choice of not receiving non-fatals would result in the receipt of an immediate reject.

- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

- October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is a 14.0 CR and that the process would be in the draft release notes. Connie stated that we are working with the Help Desk to capture 1-2 weeks in advance, in order to make it part of the deployment plan. The option to receive non-fatal errors, if asked for 2-weeks later is for the CLEC to call the Help Desk. Connie noted that the 28-day notification is due out on November 9th. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she likes this better, that it is cleaner. Liz asked if this option is also going to be for the GUI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the offer is the same for EDI & GUI. Connie noted that with EDI, it is at conversion to 14.0. Liz Balvin/MCI asked where the process would be located. Connie Winston/Qwest stated would be in the draft release notes. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that it would be in the Systems Administration Guide and noted that Qwest would have a 14.0 kick-off call with EDI implementation. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would like the option in EDI & in GUI. Liz asked that if the request is made to Qwest, would Qwest accommodate for both. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the GUI timeframe is different. Connie noted that would go live during the December 8th weekend. Connie stated that when a CLEC goes to 14.0 in EDI, the CLEC does not have to re-do. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this needs to be made clear with the EDI Teams. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked if separate requests need to be made for each RSID. Woldey Assefa/Qwest responded yes. There were no additional questions or comments. This action item is closed.

-- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: This enhancement is to provide for a CLEC choice on the IMA profile to select ‘Elect to NOT receive Non-Fatal Error Notifications’. When this functionality is selected, IMA shall disable the ability for SDCs to send Error Notifications. The SDC will only have the ability to send Reject Notifications to CLECs that choose this functionality regardless if the LSR contains non-fatal errors or fatal reject scenarios.

CLECs will have to call Qwest help desk to add/remove the subscription of ‘Non-Fatal errors’. Only QwestAdmin user shall have the option to change the parameters for ‘Non-Fatal Errors’ subscription/removal. There are no flow through impacts. IMA will disable the ability for the SDC rep to generate Non-Fatal errors manually.

Questions & Answers:

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if a CLEC chooses to remove the subscription of ‘Non-Fatal errors’ and the LSR contains a non-fatal error will the Response Type on the Local Response Form behave like at Non Fatal (LR #18 RT = "E") or will it behave like a fatal (LR #18 RT = "Z")? A: Monica Manning - Qwest stated that Denise Martinez (Qwest) was unable to participate on the call but that she did provide her with the answers to the questions. In response to this first question, it will behave like a fatal.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if a CLEC chooses to remove the subscription of ‘Non-Fatal errors’ and the LSR contains a non-fatal error will the Error/Reject Code on the Local Response Form behave like at Non Fatal (LR #21 ERROR/REJECT CODE = "965") or will it behave like a fatal (LR #21 ERROR/REJECT CODE = one of the other valid 3 numeric value) A: Monica Manning - Qwest responded that it would behave like a fatal, response type = Z. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked if the value is other than 965, is it a fatal reject code. Liz Balvin - MCI explained the CR, stated that if the CLEC requests to suppress non-fatals, they will get an immediate fatal. Phyllis Burt - AT&T stated that it impacts the LR Form, as to how the fields are handled. Phyllis asked that if it looks like a fatal response with an error code that is not a non-fatal, would 1 generic code be used. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that Qwest would follow all fatal rules if the choice were to not opt to suppress non-fatals. Conrad Evans - Qwest stated that the CLEC would normally get a fatal reject in 4-hours but now can get an immediate fatal. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked what the error code is for a fatal. Conrad Evans - Qwest responded that there is not 1 code; there is a list of fatal error codes. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that as a CLEC gets into 13.0, if there are questions, to please direct them to the EDI team.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if a CLEC chooses to remove the subscription of ‘Non-Fatal errors’ and the LSR contains a non-fatal error will the version on the SUP behave like at Non Fatal (send the same version number) or will it behave like a fatal (send an incremented version number) A: Monica Manning - Qwest responded that it would behave like a fatal.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Action Item: - Advise when the best time is for the CLECs to update their questionnaires.

-- March 26, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom: Peggy, The attached title and description updates are fine. The only change would be to the level of effort which should be 1370 - 2280. Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

- March 26, 2003 Email to Liz Balvin/WorldCom: Liz -- Attached is the proposed revision to your CR. Please review and send me your concurrance or requested changes. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

March 24, 2003 Email from Liz Balvin/WorldCom: One clarification that needs to be made is that "option #2" would suppress non-fatal rejects and thus drive "fatal" rejects immediately (NOT delayed 4 hours). Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

-- March 21, 2003 Email sent to Liz Balvin/WorldCom: Liz - Thank you for the email confirmation containing your solution option decision. Within this CR, there is an open Action Item assigned to you to revise the CRTitle and Description once a solution option is determined. Based on your solution decision, I have revised the CR Title and Description to better align to the system change request. I realize that this Action item is yours but thought I could assist with the revision. I have attached a copy of the revised CR and ask that you please review the Title and Description of Change and advise if you concur with the revision, or advise what you would like the revision to state. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems pesquib@qwest.com

(Revised Title = Suppression of Non-Fatal Rejects) (Revised Description = Qwest current process calls for non-fatal errors to be generated and if not worked within 4 hours, resubmitted to CLECs as fata errors with same PON and Version. This can result in duplicate rejects. Wcom recommends a change that would result in the suppression of non-fatal rejects and a a 4-hour delay in the fatal reject.)

- March 20, 2003 Email received from Liz Balvin/WorldCom: Peggy, As stated at today's Systems CMP, WCom would like to pursue the option to suppress non-fatal rejects and immediately receive fatal rejects per the attached. Thanks, Liz Balvin WorldCom Carrier Management - Qwest

-- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Gallegos/Qwest provided the LOE for suppression of the non-fatals of 1170 - 1950 hours. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if this would be high on the priority for WorldCom. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it was very high.

- March 7, 2003 Email to Liz Balvin/WorldCom -- Hello Liz -- I am attaching a copy of your submitted Systems CMP CR SCR013003-01 Issue Single Reject for Same PON and Version. This current reports contains a revised Qwest Response, providing the estimated Level of Effort for the suppression of non-fatal rejects. Qwest will provide a read-out at the March Systems CMP Meeting. You will also notice that there is an Action Item that has been assigned to you for the CR Title and Description Changes, once the option of choice has been decided at the March Systems CMP Meeting. Thank You, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Communications CRPM -- Systems 303.896.6332

- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom presented this CR. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she thought that the best option was the suppression of the non-fatal rejects. Liz stated that she was to be provided two LOEs. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the first option was with a 4-hour delay and that LOE was provided. The second option entails system and process changes. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if the 2nd option was preferred by WorldCom. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated yes and wants to see the 2 LOEs to make the judgement call. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest will pursue for the March Systems CMP Meeting and stated that at the March meeting, 1 of the options will need to be picked. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that a title and description change to the CR will also be needed, once an option is chosen. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated okay. There were no other questions or comments.

-- Clarification Meeting - February 6, 2003

Introduction of Attendees: Liz Balvin/WorldCom, Paul Eslinger/WorldCom, Doug Lacy/WorldCom, Paul Diamond/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Denise Martinez/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest

Review Description of Change: Qwest current process calls for non-fatal errors to be generated and if not worked within 4 hours, resubmitted to CLECs as fatal errors with same PON and Version. This can result in duplicate rejects. WCom recommends a change that would result in no more than one reject for specific PON and Version to be worked by the CLECs.

Confirmed Impacted Interface: IMA Common

Confirmed Impacted Products: All

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation: That Qwest support a single reject per PON and Version.

Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she struggled with how to write this CR. Liz stated that the WorldCom impact is the receipt of non-fatals which results in the receipt of a duplicate, as a fatal reject. Liz stated that this occurs prior to the receipt of an FOC or can occur after the FOC if there is a jeopardy. Liz stated that WorldCom’s request is for Qwest to suppress the non-fatals, WorldCom wants to get fatal errors only for PON and Version. Liz stated that this CR is written from an overall CLEC perspective and that WorldCom would like a single reject or suppression of the non-fatals. It was stated that WorldCom does not want to ever receive a duplicate reject. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that Qwest has always had a distinction between fatal and non-fatal so she does not see it as a duplicate. Denise stated that there are non-fatals because the error can be resolved. Denise stated that if the notice is sent and no response is received from the CLEC, a fatal is sent. Denise asked for clarity on how WorldCom perceives as a duplicate. Doug Lacy/WorldCom stated the he view’s as a duplicated because receives a non-fatal followed by a fatal within 4-hours. Doug stated that the way that the data flows in Qwest and WorldCom is that by the time it gets to WorldCom’s system or back to the Qwest system, the 4-hours has expired. The fatal is on its way in and WorldCom has to work the fatal like the non-fatal was worked. Doug stated that the Qwest system data does not have a direct/unimpeded path to the WorldCom system. Doug stated that this competes with local rejects from other companies. Denis Martinez/Qwest stated that it sounds like WorldCom wants to eliminate non-fatals and will either accept or get a reject. Doug Lacy/WorldCom stated that he would like non-fatals excluded, fatals have the same PON and Version. This looks like a duplicate to WorldCom and different groups, within WorldCom, work the fatals and non-fatals. This can cause them to be worked differently. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that when Qwest sends a non-fatal, sees as an open request and is waiting for additional data from the CLEC. Denise stated that once a fatal reject is sent, Qwest has stopped all work. WorldCom stated that in not getting the non-fatals rejects, it would allow the WorldCom footprint to be consistent. Denise Martinez/Qwest asked if this comes down to WorldCom only not getting non-fatals and asked if WorldCom is asking for a choice of accepting or not accepting non-fatals. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she would like an LOE for the choice of receiving non-fatals or not. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that other CLECs might want to receive non-fatals. WorldCom stated that it could be to another CLECs advantage to work non-fatals. WorldCom stated that with their volumes, non-fatals get in the way of their working a fatal reject. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked for an LOE for Qwest to provide the option of receiving or not receiving non-fatals. Would also like an LOE for the option to eliminate duplicate rejects, same PON and Version number. Doug Lacy/WorldCom stated that he does not want to eliminate all rejects, could be different errors. Liz Balvin/WorldCom agreed. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that if Qwest LOEs for non-fatals as an option, that would take care of the other point. Doug Lacy/WorldCom stated that that was correct. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that it looks like the only option is to not get non-fatals. Paul Eslinger/WorldCom asked to clarify that if a non-fatal is not worked, if a fatal would be sent. Denise Martinez/Qwest stated that if the non-fatal were suppressed, then at the 4-hour point, the fatal would go out. Denise stated that this would create a delay in WorldCom’s receipt of the notification. Denise stated that the only other option is that Qwest could immediately send a fatal, but that would significantly increase the LOE. John Gallegos/Qwest agreed that an immediate fatal would be a bigger LOE. Doug Lacy/WorldCom stated that if WorldCom were to accept the non-fatal right away, the LOE would be smaller. Liz Balvin/WorldCom requested that WorldCom be provided 2 LOEs. LOE 1 would be for the suppression of non-fatals, with the CLEC having a 4-hour delay in the fatal reject. LOE 2 would be for Qwest to offer a choice of receiving or not receiving the non-fatal rejects based on CLEC criteria. John Gallegos/Qwest agreed to provide the requested LOEs.

Establish Action Plan Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due for presentation, by WorldCom, at the February 20, 2003 Systems CMP meeting.

Description Of Change

MCI determined through its testing of Qwest ASR XML interface that the preorder CFA validation query required MCI to provide the CCNA identified via Qwest back end systems. This information was not disclosed by Qwest. Therefore, MCI requests the edit be changed to allow a single source CCNA for all MCI entities.

Expected Delivery:

That the edit be changed as soon as possible such that MCI queries can be successfully processed.

Project Meetings

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR was for pre-order, in order to submit a single CCNA for all entities. Liz stated that the first response given was for the order side and that Qwest took it back. Liz stated that now the solution is a Records only ASR for the system to make a change to existing customers, not how to deal with the pre-order validation process. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that the response might be confusing. Gary stated that in pre-order, when you log into QORA, you use a single CCNA and the application matches up the CCNA to the CFA. Gary stated that there is no method in pre-order or order to match multiple CCNAs. Gary stated that in order to do that going forward would require a R order for the paper change only to indicate that the CCNA is now MCIs. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that then the data base would be changed and going forward when you log in, you would log in using a single entity. Gary Veik/Qwest responded yes. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that there is a change on the order side that doesn’t restrict a single CCNA. Gary Veik/Qwest stated that pre-order is true validation and that order does not perform a validation against the CCNA because that would cause problems for the CLECs. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she now understands, thanked Qwest, and agreed that the CR could be Closed.

-- June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she did receive the response to her question but that she did not understand the option and that it was identical to ASR order processing. Liz stated that she needs to better understand the option from Qwest. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if Liz (Balvin/MCI) was working with their Service Management Team. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would work with Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) This Denied CR remains Open.

-- June 11, 2004 Email Sent to MCI: Liz, In response to your request for clarification on if Qwest would accept a single CCNA for all MCI entity preorder queries and how would be accomplished: Although the issue is exhibiting itself in MCI's pre-order CFA queries, the root of the problem is in the facility record itself, where there is a mismatch between the CCNA associated with the CFA in the record and the CCNA MCI is attempting to use in their query. Qwest's CR response indicates Qwest's willingness to process records-only ASRs to address the CCNAs associated with MCI facilities and change them to any of the CCNAs owned by MCI, as they wish. Note this will follow the current ASR process using records-only changes established for consolidating CCNA.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

- May 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI sent questions for Qwest to research. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest is still investigating.

May 17, 2004 Received Email From MCI: Peggy, Regarding the following: "Qwest will agree, as another option, to process records change ASRs for any and all facilities MCI would like to aggregate under one CCNA, if MCI so wishes." Please clarify: 1) The CCNA requirement is with preorder, please verify Qwest would accept a single CCNA for all MCI entity preorder queries. 2) How would this be accomplished? Thanks, Liz Balvin MCI Carrier Relations - Qwest Region

May 14, 2004 Email Sent to Liz Balvin, MCI: Liz, I have attached a copy of SCR121903-01 ASR Preorder CFA Requirement to Provide CCNA. This copy contains the Qwest Response to this Change Request.

Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- April 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is still being evaluated. Connie stated that there have been changes to our internal architecture, which is causing more analysis of this CR. Connie apologized. This Action Item remains open.

March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this work effort has been approved and Qwest is working to determine the LOE, then will look at scheduling.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is: This CR has been Approved.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed the CR Description and stated that MCI needs the CCNA of the company that Qwest bills for and that MCI wants all entities to have unique CCNAs. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest understands the request and that Qwest is evaluating the request. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI implemented a band-aid, the week before, until Qwest implements this CR. There were no additional comments or questions.

-- CLARIFICATION MEETING - December 29, 2003 ATTENDEES: Liz Balvin-MCI, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Gary Veik-Qwest, Cassandra Hunt-Qwest, Steve Kast-Qwest, Jamal Boudhaouia-Qwest REVIEW CR DESCRIPTION: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest reviewed the CR description: MCI determined through its testing of Qwest ASR XML interface that the preorder CFA validation query required MCI to provide the CCNA identified via Qwest back end systems. This information was not disclosed by Qwest. Therefore, MCI requests the edit be changed to allow a single source CCNA for all MCI entities. Expected Delivery is that the edit be changed as soon as possible such that MCI queries can be successfully processed. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked Liz Balvin-MCI if she had additional information that she would like to provide. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that Gary (Veik) and Steve (Kast) are already aware of this issue and noted that MCI needs a band-aid fix until Qwest implements this request. Liz stated that this is currently being done for the ordering side and noted that MCI is implementing XML in January Gary Veik-Qwest stated that on the ordering side, the edit is relaxed but that the CFA is not fully validated. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that on the pre-order side, need to make sure is appropriate CFA. Gary Veik-Qwest stated that a band-aid would not be for the entire CFA. Gary stated that Qwest has requested some modifications be made and noted that those modifications would probably not occur until after the 2nd quarter of 2004. Gary Veik-Qwest stated that from an industry perspective, it has not been identified that CCNA be part of a CFA response. Gary stated that he is taking this issue to the industry to try and get CCNA added, in order for Qwest to be able to meet the need of MCI and all other CLECs. Liz Balvin-MCI asked to clarify, from previous conversations with Qwest, that LOA was not an option for the XML interface. Gary Veik-Qwest stated that he thought that LOA was an option and stated that he would verify. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she looked at QORA information in the GUI and asked if they can use the LOA Field. Liz stated that she thought that there was a problem in XML. Gary Veik-Qwest stated that he would validate and provide the information to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) for distribution. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she needs the information in order to make sure that MCIs band-aid is as good as they can get it. Gary Veik-Qwest stated that an option is to use CEMR to validate the CFA, until the XML modifications are implemented. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she had not thought of CEMR as an option for CFA validation and stated that it is a good point. Gary Veik-Qwest stated that he would research to see if can piggy-back off what CEMR does to validate the CFA. Gary Veik-Qwest again stated that CEMR can currently be used to validate CFA. Gary Veik-Qwest asked Liz (MCI) if she would share what MCI's band-aid is going to be. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she could share and stated that MCIs intent is to determine, from MCIs 3 systems, what percentage of CCNAs comes out of them. Liz then provided an example. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked to confirm that the impacted interface of Other is correct. Gary Veik-Qwest and Liz Balvin (MCI) agreed that Other would be appropriate. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the CR currently notes Lis Trunks as the impacted product due to this ASR request and asked if that was correct. Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the request is really not product specific and stated that it is a Pre-Order Function request. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the change would be made on the CR. There were no other questions or comments.

REVISED QWEST RESPONSE

May 14, 2004

Liz Balvin Carrier Management - Qwest Region MCI

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR121903-01, dated 12/19/03, and titled: ASR Preorder CFA Requirement to Provide CCNA.

CR Description: Currently, Qwest requires customers to provide the CCNA (Customer Carrier Name Abbreviation) identified as the facility owner when performing a pre-order CFA (Connecting Facility Assignment) validation. MCI requests the edit be changed to allow a single source CCNA for all MCI entities.

History: A clarification meeting was held on December 29, 2003 with MCI and Qwest representation. At this meeting, it was determined that the issue only affects pre-order transactions, since a workaround is available for ASR transactions. Qwest also noted that MCI has the capability to verify CFAs in CEMR for pre-order.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR121903-01, ASR Preorder CFA Requirement to Provide CCNA, and has determined that this change does not provide measurable business benefit.

Currently, Qwest provides customers with the ability to perform pre-order CFA validations in CEMR. Additionally, the current ASR process allows the customer to populate the AGAUTH (Agency Authorization Status) and DATED (Date of Agency Authorization) fields on the ASR to indicate that the CFA does not match the CCNA provided on the ASR. When these fields are populated, there is no detrimental effect on the processing of the ASR. Therefore, Qwest has determined that the functionality is available without changing the edit in QORA. The cost that would be incurred in accommodating this change would be $860,000 (see breakdown below). No demonstrable business benefit would be obtained in comparison to the cost to implement the enhancement.

Changes to Ordering Systems = $630,000 Changes to Provisioning Systems = $100,000 Changes to Repair Systems = $130,000 Changes to Billing Systems = $0 TOTAL = $860,000

Qwest will agree, as another option, to process records change ASRs for any and all facilities MCI would like to aggregate under one CCNA, if MCI so wishes.

Consequently, Qwest is denying your request for SCR121903-01, ASR Preorder CFA Requirement to Provide CCNA, as the request does not provide reasonable, demonstrable business benefit.

Sincerely,

Qwest

11/19/03 November CMP Meeting Kit Thomte with Qwest said that this CR was being discussed with the Global Action Item meeting 11/18/03 and Connie Winston had implied that it might not go forward. Qwest will update the response. Liz Balvin said there might be the ability for CLECs to request testing scenarios specific to the GUI. This CR will remain in Evaluation status.

10/15/03 October CMP Meeting This CR was discussed at the 10/14/03 meeting and it was agreed this CR would remain in Evaluation status. Liz Balvin expressed concern that this CR was lingering even though discussed in the ad-hoc process. Liz said Qwest had not even provided a response on this CR.

09/17/03 September CMP Meeting Connie Winston reviewed the response to this CR. Connie said that Qwest is evaluating how we can package all the suggestions for improvement and provide a joint benefit. Testing is one of the things that Qwest would like to discuss at the next systems Ad Hoc meeting that will take place in a couple of weeks. Liz Balvin said that she was happy that Qwest is looking at resolutions and taking in CLEC input and would like to know what Qwest will do with the input that is being tracked under the Global Action Item. Bonnie Johnson with Eschelon suggested that Qwest provide something to look at prior to the Ad Hoc meeting. This CR will be moved to Evaluation status.

08/20/03 August CMP Meeting Liz Balvin with MCI said this CR was submitted to request insight into Qwest test plans and results for IMA EDI and GUI. CLECs want the opportunity to provide test scenarios for Qwest to use in the testing schedule. Connie Winston said Qwest would need to evaluate this CR and asked if CLECs were interested in functionality testing. Liz said that CLECs are interested in how Qwest is testing the documentation they publish. CLECs see documentation as edits against the LSR and want to verify that Qwest is not testing on the field. CLECs want to know how Qwest is testing functionality. This CR will be moved to Presented status.

1-877-572-8687 3393947# PC073003-1 Qwest to provide test plans and results prior to deployment of IMA

Name/Company: Liz Balvin, MCI Donna Osborne-Miller, AT&T Bonnie Johnson, Eschelon Joel Anderson, Qwest John Gallegos, Qwest Pat Bratetic, Qwest Linda Sanchez-Steinke, Qwest

Introduction of Attendees Introduction of participants on the conference call was made and the purpose of the call discussed.

Review Requested (Description of) Change Linda read from MCI’s CR the description of the change: CLECs currently have no insight to Qwest IMA test plans or results. MCI requests review of the test plan and results prior to IMA deployment. Expected Deliverable: Qwest provide in advance of deployment IMA test plans and results.

Liz Balvin with MCI said that she has assumed there are two stages of implementation 1) test plans 2) test results coming out the testing. Currently CLECs have no insight into the test plans and the test planning process. This CR was initiated to bring forth what Qwest sees when testing and CLECs would like to provide input to test plans. Joel Anderson with Qwest asked what level of information CLECs would like to see. Liz said they would like to see test scenarios and test cases. John Gallegos with Qwest said that the system test level mapping it to what communicated in disclosure documents we would have to work on internally because some of the systems testing would be specific to our own systems. John said that IMA pulls data from other systems and test scenario documentation may go into that kind of detail. Liz gave an example from 12.0; in the disclosure documents CLECs don’t know what edits are in the backend systems and the edits may be cricital processes beyond IMA. Liz said CLECs do get the Disclosure Documents in advance. She would like to see Qwest development test cases to validate the business rules and what the results are from the actual testing. John asked for examples of what other ILECs provide. Bonnie Johnson with Eschelon will provide any examples after Kim returns on Tuesday. Joel asked iif CLEC would want to input to system test case. Liz said yes if have input would like to provide it if necessary and would be more confident the CRs are deployed correctly. Examples of CRs are Migrate as specified; Blocking, Hunting, DL. John asked if CLECs would be able to provide scenarios also to ensure they are tested. Bonnie said yes they would. Liz said if with migrate as specified tested every feature and understand documentation published by Qwest it is hard to provide test scenarios. John said that Qwest would work off-line to review documents sent to CLECs.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted IMA test plans and results prior to deployment of IMA.

Confirm Right Personnel Involved Qwest confirmed the correct personnel were on the call to resolve the CR.

Identify/Confirm CLEC’s Expectation MCI’s expectation is that Qwest provide in advance of deployment IMA test plans and results.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests No systems change requests.

Establish Action Plan (Resolution Time Frame) MCI will present this CR at the August CMP meeting.

SCR11103-01 Review CALA requirements for ordering (New & Outside Moves) SCR111103-01 (Eliminate CALA ordering requirement

MCI Comment 2/27/04 - MCI Comment: CALA ordering requirement is a Qwest imposed business rule that provides NO advantage to a CLECs order and should be completely eliminated. Per Qwest, CALA is a conditional requirement but the business rules do NOT specifically define when a CALA is necessary on New or Outside Move orders, the rules applied must be specifically documented.

Below is the list of ZIP Codes that Qwest is currently aware of that cross multiple CALAs. It was decided that the best way to do this would be to provide the list of ZIP Codes in the MCI CR (SCR111103-01) Eliminate CALA Ordering Requirement. Please keep in mind that this list contains the ZIP Codes that we are currently aware of today that cross multiple CALAs. Keep in mind that the list may change over time and that this is a one time list.

Also, I have been advised that you wanted to know if Qwest could modify the Address Validation error message response to clearly state the error was caused by a ZIP Code crossing multiple CALAs. Cim Chambers/Qwest and/or Curt Anderson/Qwest stated that they would be happy to meet with you and explain that we can most likely provide this functionality but that a CMP CR will be required.

In addition, the analysis that we performed for ZIP/CALA shows that only 0.5% of all MCI address errors are a result of the multiple CALA scenario.

ZIP Codes that cross multiple CALAs.

3/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we have been working with MCI to determine the failure rate associated with T/F ‘s crossing CALA boundaries. Connie said that the failure rate is less than 0.5 %. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would schedule a meeting with MCI and close this action item off-line.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we are working offline with Liz Balvin/MCI on this issue.

1/22/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that when Premis was developed, there was no concept of external delivery. The system is very large and CALA is not a changeable feature to remove. Connie stated that if a response is not received on the zip, the CALA might be the only way to get the data. Connie stated that we can’t remove the CALA because some CLECs may want to resolve using CALA. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that Premis was parsed by Qwest for pre-order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Premis is prior to any pre-order functionality. Connie said that if the zip is correct then there is no problem. Connie stated that the problem exists when the zip is not right and that is the only time you need to use CALA. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that CEMR access is Premis. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a Patch is going in on February 1, 2004 to add a field for zip code. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this CR is to eliminate CALA from the order and not pre-order. Liz asked why we are requiring it on the order. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we did research for pre-order and said that she was not sure at this point why CALA is required for ordering. Connie stated that we would look at the requirements for ordering. Connie Winston/Qwest provided an update to the question above on the CALA requirement. Connie stated that the CALA is conditional in ordering and is based on an error. Connie said that the only ordering requirement is if it fails. Connie stated we need the CALA to resolve the issue. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if we need the CALA in pre-ordering wouldn’t the CALA be required in ordering. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it is conditional for all except new & outside moves. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is required if we cannot resolve with the zip and TN. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if there would be an addendum update. Connie Winston/Qwest stated we would review the disclosure document at the break and provide an update.

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed this CR and stated that she thought 14.0 would resolve the new and outside moves portion. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that CALA is very important to PREMIS and that the only time the zip code is a problem is when the range spans 2 zip codes. Connie said that CALA is required as a safety net and that we need to be very sure that address validation can be done. Liz Balvin/MCI said that CALA is a Qwest specific field and means nothing to the CLECs. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she agreed. Liz Balvin/MCI said that this should not be a requirement and noted that she wants the field to become not required, thus not mapped to EDI for every activity type. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest understands the request and that we want to make sure nothing gets broken by taking something away.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR111103-01, dated 12/8/03, titled: Eliminate CALA ordering requirement

CR Description: Qwest to lift the edit that requires CALA information on New and Move Transaction activity types..

History: A clarification meeting was held on November 21, 2003 with MCI and Qwest representation where the request was reviewed and products impacted were clarified. MCI indicated that they would like Qwest to lift the requirement completely. This CR was also discussed in the December Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, held on December 18, 2003. Qwest indicated at that time that CALA is required because Qwest uses CALA to ensure that address validation can be done.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR111103-01, Eliminate CALA ordering requirement, and has determined that this change is economically infeasible as well as has potential to impact response times for other CLECs. Today, CALA is required by Qwest for use with its back-end systems in order to perform complete address validation processes. In order to eliminate the CALA ordering requirement completely, Qwest would be required to change a third-party system (PREMIS), as well as perform a fairly intensive re-architecture of multiple Qwest systems. The cost for removing the requirement from the Qwest systems alone would be, at a minimum, $500k. If Qwest were to eliminate the CLEC CALA ordering requirement from the third-party system only, there would still be mapping required to a SAGA/CALA as this is information required for triggering address validations in various other back-end systems. Each address validation request would require additional verification within the application to determine if the request was routed correctly, or if not correct, it would need to be rerouted to the correct area. In either case, the result of such re-routing would most likely result in performance degradation in terms of response time. The additional mapping would impact performance for CLECs performing address validation.

In light of the potential negative impacts to other CLECs, and the high cost associated with implementation, Qwest is denying your request for SCR111103-01, Eliminate CALA ordering requirement.

Sincerely,

Qwest

Description Of Change

Qwest currently requires CLECs to submit two LSRs to provision an Unbundled Loop with Loop Splitting when the existing loop is analog. MCI requests Qwest provide the ability to submit a single LSR to convert an Analog Loop to Non-Loaded (2 or 4 wire) or ADSL qualified UBL and add Loop Splitting.

NOTE: It is MCI’s understanding that stand alone UNE-P POTS and/or Line Splitting (UNE-P POTs with DSL) to Loop Splitting via one LSR is already covered except for Activity Types of V and Z for which there is a Qwest initiated internal change request (SCR120303-01) to address.

Expected Deliverable:

That CLECs accomplish converting end user’s with analog loops to unbundled loop with loop splitting on a single LSR.

Project Meetings

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is a subset of a Qwest CR submitted by Crystal Soderlund (Qwest), SCR120303-01. John Berard/Covad questioned what was in the Migrations PCAT Matrix. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI needs the ability to submit a single LSR and feels comfortable that Qwest’s SCR120303-01 covers it, if the Matrix is correct. This CR was withdrawn after the 16.0 Prioritization discussion, see Attachment P for SCR120303-01.

- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI reviewed her CR description and stated that Qwest has a CR that was via the SCRP process which has a portion that was postponed until 15.0 Liz stated that with 15.0, will be able to do an outside move. Liz stated that on the same day that this CR was submitted, Qwest issued a CR to add loop splitting. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this MCI CR might be a duplicate of the SCRP CR and the new Qwest CR [SCR030603-01EXSC and SCR120303-01]. Liz stated that she agrees with a status of Pending Withdrawal for her CR, SCR120303-02.

PURPOSE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the call was for clarification of 2 CMP CRs and to determine if Qwest’s SCR120303-01 would meet MCIs SCR120303-02 request.

REVIEW CR DESCRIPTION: SCR120303-02 Allow single LSR to convert Analog Loop to NonLoaded (2 or 4 wire) or ADSL UBL (Unbundled loop) with Loop Splitting Qwest currently requires CLECs to submit two LSRs to provision an Unbundled Loop with Loop Splitting when the existing loop is analog. MCI requests Qwest provide the ability to submit a single LSR to convert an Analog Loop to Non-Loaded (2 or 4 wire) or ADSL qualified UBL and add Loop Splitting. Expected Deliverable is that CLECs accomplish converting end user’s with analog loops to unbundled loop with loop splitting on a single LSR.

SCR120303-01 Line and Loop Splitting Conversions with Number Portability with Flow Through requesting to allow Conversion activity (ACT = V, or Z) for Line and Loop Splitting Conversions with Number Portability on 1 LSR and allow system flow through. Expected Deliverable is IMA 16.0.

CONFIRMED INTERFACE: IMA Common for both CRs

CONFIRMED PRODUCTS: SCR120303-02 (MCIs): UNE SCR120303-01 (Qwests): Line Splitting, Loop Splitting

ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Liz/MCI and Crystal/Qwest if they had additional information to provide regarding their requests. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she needs to be sure what Qwest views as an analog line. Liz stated that MCI sees UNE-P provisioned services as analog and UBL as analog. Liz stated that is regardless of what products are being converted from. Liz stated that she needs to be able to convert to UBL with Loop Splitting. Chad Warner/MCI stated that in the Loop Splitting PCAT it states that if the loop is analog, they need to convert to 2 or 4 wire or to ADSL and would need to add loop splitting. Chad stated that another issue is converting analog loop, UNE-P POTS (2 wire analog) needs to be covered. Chad stated that UNE-P POTS to Loop Splitting needs to be 1 LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she issued the Qwest CR because Qwest agreed to allow DSL if there is a quealified loop. Crystal stated that her CR is for the scenario of UNE-P to Loop Splitting via 1 LSR. Crystal noted would be able to do for only the ACTs of V or Z, and only if is a DSL qualified loop. Crystal stated that if not a qualified loop, would need to first be qualified via the conditioning process. Liz Balvin/MCI asked to clarify that DSL needs to be qualified. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the facility would be reused because would know it to be qualified. Liz Balvin/MCI asked for an order for UBL with loop splitting and is existing UNE-P POTS with line splitting, the facilities would be used. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that that scenario would be more complex and stated that it would be covered in the training. Crystal noted that it would be considered a new product and would be covered in the training. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that this would enable UBL information on the loop service form and the adding of POTS splitter on 1 LSR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she thinks we are on the same page and stated that it looks to be a new way to place an order. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that IMA currently does not allow to add a new form. Crystal stated that training would cover this. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is a new product with pricing and Interconnection Agreement amendments.. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded no. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is just to be able to link forms in IMA. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes and stated that if have an UBL contract and a loop splitting contract, would be submitted as UBL split. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if she would need to certify for that. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she would check into that and have that information as part of the training. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if she looks at these 2 CRs, the difference is the Qwest CR is for Line & Loop Splitting and MCIs is for all UNEs. Liz asked that if UNE-P POTS is just that, with no DSL, the UNE could alresdy be conditioned. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded as long as the DSL is qualified, they can do that. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if add UNE to the Qwest CR, MCI’s need would be met. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she could revise her CR to include conversion of LX - - to LX-N. Crystal noted that PCAT changes would also need to be made. Crystal stated that with 16.0, if you take an existing analog loop and it is DSL capable, you would be able to submit via 1-LSR. Crystal stated that if is not DSL capable, the CLEC would first need to make it DSL capable. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is done via the Loop Qual query. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that if she wants to determine prior to order submission, how would she know if 2/4 wire loaded or if loop qualified versus DSL qualified. Chad Warner/MCI stated that the Raw Loop Data Tool gives the loop makeup but he would not know if 2 or 4 wire. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that it does not matter if 2 or 4 wir. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she believes the MCI CR to be different than the Qwest CR. Liz stated that it would be hard for the CLECs to identify if 2 or 4 wire. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they can now submit UNE-P POTS on a single LSR but that the interval changes. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the voice and data are provisioned to be the same but that the voice can be held-up. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the analog loop definition makes her CR different than the Qwest CR. Liz stated that she is not sure if she is comfortable on how the CLECs would identify ahead of time if is DSL qualified. Jim Recker/Qwest stated that Qwest provides the loop make-up to the CLECs. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the tool states if is qualified. Jim Recker/Qwest stated that the tool states why is not qualified. Chad Warner/MCI asked if UNE-P with Loop Splitting would be documented. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated yes, when talking conversion activities. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the reason that DSL needs to be qualified is due to holding the voice in order to get data in. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that wants to make sure that her CR isn’t withdrawn if these CRs are different. Liz agreed that Line Splitting on UNE-P POTS is covered. Liz stated that she needs to determine if UBL is covered. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if is not qualified, the CLEC would need to submit an LSR to qualify it. Liz Balvin/MCI asked Chad Warner/MCI if he would prefer to wait until documentation comes out before they withdraw their MCI CR. Chad Warner/MCI stated that did not know what the process was. Chad asked that for UNE-P to UNE-P with Line Splitting, the loop needs to be conditioned first with no extra charge and is a 1 LSR process. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded, correct, and noted that the voice would be in so it would not be held up. Chad Warner/MCI asked to clarify that if new or conversion, if existing UNE-P and wants to convert to loop splitting, they first need to make sure is conditioned/qualified and if it is, is 1 LSR. If not, is 2 LSRs. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if is not qualified, Qwest would jeop it back due to DSL not being qualified and 2 LSRs would be needed. Chad Warner/MCI asked if UNE-P and adding Line Splitting would be 1 LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes because the voice is already in. Chad Warner/MCI asked if UNE-P to Loop Splitting. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if DSL qualified it would be 1 LSR. If not qualified, it would need to be qualified 1st, then Loop Splitting could be added. Heidi Moreland/Qwest stated that the origination of the voice would change: for UNE-P, the voice would be from the Qwest switch. UNE-P with Line Splitting is just adding data. For Loop Splitting, the CLEC provides voice from the CLEC switch, not a Qwest switch. Chad Warner/MCI stated that he now understood. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if have conversion at the same time, a UNE-P POTS and Line Splitting, it would be 1 LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that conversion of UNE-P POTS and adding Line Splitting is 1 LSR if DSL is qualified. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if it mattered if line or loop splitting, either has to be qualified. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if have UNE-P to UNE-P with line splitting, yes. If no UNE-P & need UNE-P with Line Splitting, needs to be DSL qualified. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it sounds like Qwest would deny her CR any way due to the conditioning process. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded probably. There were no additional questions. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she needed to clarify previous statements that the Qwest CR changes would take place in 16.0. Peggy stated that the timeframe for the changes is dependant on the 16.0 prioritization outcome and if the candidate gets ranked high eough to move forward. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was an SCRP CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest responded no, not at this time. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would discuss these CRs with her internal team and advise if MCI would withdraw SCR120303-02. There were no additional comments or questions. ACTION PLAN: Both CRs are scheduled for presentation at the December Systems CMP Meeting, by the CR originators.

December 4, 2003 Email Sent to Liz Balvin/MCI: Hi Liz, Would you please provide me with several options of dates and times for the Clarification Meeting for your CMP CR, SCR120303-02? I will then schedule the call. Also, I am attaching a copy of a Qwest originated CR that I believe would cover your request and additional functionality. Would you please review the attached CR and advise if you agree that SCR120303-01 is requesting the same functionality as your SCR120303-02, along with additional functionality being requested on SCR120303-01? If you agree that yours is a duplicate request, would you like to withdraw your CR? Thanks, Liz. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

Description Of Change

7/24/07 - Revision to Description - Request is for change to the edits or processes regarding complex/caption listings on a resale order with the ACT = N, C, V, T. Would like Complex/Caption listings to be allowed on the provisioning order for Resale customers. At this time the CLEC has to submit a dummy listing on the DL form due to the DL form being required, then turn around and process a secondary order to remove the dummy listing and have the correct complex listing established. Would also like orders to flow through, for consistency.

Revision to Products: Resale Act = N,C,V,T

Listings Act = R

Centrex 21 Act = V or C

Original CR Description - Mcleod requests a change to the edits or processes regarding complex listings on a resale order with the ACT = N. Mcleod would either like Complex listings be allowable for resale customers on an ACT of N or we would like the DL form to become conditional based on a related HB order attached to the Provisioning order via the RPON field. At this time the CLEC has to submit a dummy listing on the DL form due to the DL form being required, then turn around and process a secondary order to remove the dummy listing and have the correct complex listing established.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

Mcleod expects to be able to process complex listings on an ACT of N order with minimal rework required by the CLEC. This is either by the changing of the requirement of the DL form on an ACT of N for resale customers, or changing the process to allow complex listings to be established with the provisioning order. This would make the resale products more consistent with the UNE product. And allow for order flow consistency for both the CLEC and Qwest.

5/21/08 Systems CMP Meeting Mark Coyne-Qwest said that this CR was implemented in the IMA 23.0 Release on 4/21/08 and that we are looking to close. There were no objections.

September 19, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that this is the IMA 23.0 Initial Prioritization List and is the list that we would work from for the Packaging of the 23.0 Release.

-- August 15, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that IMA 23.0 is scheduled in April of 2008. Note: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon said that candidate number 7 - SCR121306-01 Enable the EOS Field on the Directory Listing Form is on the Commitment List for IMA 22.0. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that we will remove that candidate from the IMA 23.0 list. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the Prioritization Instructions and spreadsheet candidate list are included in this attachment. She stated that there are 11 candidates on the list. She said that Qwest and the CLEC ranks each CR on the list by providing a point value from 1 through 11. Peggy said that the highest point value (11) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented first. The next point value (10) should be assigned to the CR that Qwest and the CLECs wish to be implemented second and so on. The lowest point value (1) should be assigned to the least desired CR. Peggy stated that the total points will be calculated by the Qwest CMP Manager and the results will be distributed to the CLECs via mailout within 2 business days following the submission of the ranking. Peggy reviewed the timelines associated with prioritization: - Qwest Re-Distributes the Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 20th - The Completed Prioritization Form will be submitted to cmpcr@qwest.com by 5 pm MT on August 23rd. - Qwest e-mails the Initital Prioritization Form by 5 pm MT on August 27th. - Peggy asked if everyone would like to provide their top 2 candidates. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon stated that their top candidate is #9 SCR062906-03 Allow End State Ordering for Resale POTS Service. Integra - no response Jeff Sonnier-Sprint said that he would send an e-mail with this information. Note: 8/17/07 - E-mail received from Sprint with top 2 candidates: 1.

- July 20, 2007 Email Sent to McLeodUSA: Hi Joyce, Have you yet had an opportunity to review the proposed revision to your CR below? Please let me know if the proposed revision is acceptable. Also let me know if you would like to change the proposed revision. Once I have your acceptance, I can revise the actual CR and send you the revised copy. I have received the okay from BendTel and will await your okay before I make any changes. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

- July 17, 2007 Email Received From BendTel: Peggy That sounds fine to me. Thanks. Kay Griffith

- July 17, 2007 Email Sent to McLeod and BendTel: Good Morning, Thank you for meeting with us yesterday and discussing your CRs for Complex/Caption Listings. Below is a proposed change to the CR Title, Description, and Impacted Products for McLeod USAs Change Request. McLeod's CR will then reflect the request from BendTel's CR as well. Please let me know if the below revision, for McLeods CR, is okay. I will then make the actual revision to McLeods CR. BendTels CR is currently in Pending Withdrawal Status and will be withdrawn at the July CMP Meeting. Proposed Revision: TITLE: Changes to Edits or Process Regarding Complex/Caption Listings DESCRIPTION: Request is for changes to the edits or processes regarding complex/caption listings on a resale order with the ACT = N, C, V, T. Would like Complex/Caption listings to be allowed on the provisioning order for Resale customers. At this time the CLEC has to submit a dummy listing on the DL form due to the DL form being required, then turn around and process a secondary order to remove the dummy listing and have the correct complex listing established.

- July 16, 2007 Conference Call Attendees: Joyce Bilow-McLeodUSA, Kay Griffith-BendTel, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest, Chuck Anderson-Qwest, Carol McKenzie-Qwest, Rossana Robinson-Qwest, Anne Pent-Qwest

Lynn Stecklein-Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was in order to discuss CRs that were submitted by McLeod and by BendTel. Lynn stated that Qwest has reviewed the two requests and that as Qwest was looking at the requirements for these CRs, Qwest found that there are possible synergies and that is what we want to discuss on the call. Carol McKenzie-Qwest stated that Qwest analysts looked at the two requests and did find them to be similar as they are both asking for the ability of one provisioning order on caption listings. Carol stated that the CRs could be combined and could cover the applicable products and make it flow through. Carol stated that this work would benefit the CLECs and Qwest and the combining of the CRs would eliminate additional work that would need to be done for separate CRs. Carol stated that Qwest would like to propose that the two CRs be combined with the McLeod CR being revised to include the information from the BendTel CR and that BendTels CR could then be withdrawn. Carol stated that it would then make flowthrough reasonable. Carol then asked for comments from McLeod and BendTel. Joyce Bilow-McLeodUSA agreed to the Qwest proposal and stated that McLeod had wanted to previously add to their CR but that the LOE would have increased. Joyce stated that Qwests proposal is a better solution because it would cover all areas and Activities of N, C, V, T, and Listings only. Kay Griffith-BendTel also agreed to the proposal. Carol McKenzie-Qwest stated that Qwest would then ask that McLeod’s CR be revised since it was submitted a few years ago and that BendTels CR be withdrawn. Kay Griffith-BendTel asked if Qwest really thought that complex listings could flow through. Carol McKenzie-Qwest stated that the effort was reviewed and that Qwest believes it to be workable. Carol then stated that this would be a large request but noted that it would benefit everyone. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest then stated that the next step would be for McLeod’s CR to be revised and BendTels CR to be placed in pending withdrawal status. Lynn then noted that the revised McLeod CR would be eligible for the IMA 23.0 Prioritization exercise. Carol McKenzie-Qwest asked if there were any additional comments, questions, or concerns. Joyce Bilow-McLeod said no. Kay Griffith-BendTel also said no. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest thanked the call participants and stated that Qwest would be contacting McLeod for the revision to their CR. The call was then concluded.

- April 18, 2007 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that this attachment contained the Initial Prioritization List for the IMA 22.0 Release. Mark asked if there were any questions on the list. There were none. Mark then mentioned that Packaging would occur in the June timeframe and be communicated in CMP.

-- August 16, 2006 Monthly Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the list of IMA 21.0 candidates, along with the Prioritization Instructions, is located in Attachment M of the distribution Package. Peggy noted that there are 19 candidates, eligible for prioritization. And for this CR Review Exercise, as in the past, Qwest and each CLEC will indicate what their top 2 candidates are. Peggy stated that we would then follow with the review of the prioritization instructions. Peggy asked if there were any questions. There were none brought forward. Peggy then asked for the top 2 candidates, from Qwest and the CLEC Community.

Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting April 22, 2003

SCR031103-01 Changes To Edits Or Process Regarding Complex Listings On An Act Of N Order For Resale (Originated by McLeodUSA) Stephanie Prull/McLeod USA reviewed the CR description of change. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest wanted to discuss how the dummy listing would be handled. He stated that the issue was discussed during the clarification call and that Qwest proposed in the response how it would be resolved. He said that Qwest assumed it would be set up as a non-pub listing, so the order would not be delayed. He said that Laurel Nolan had sent the response to Stephanie. Stephanie Prull/McLeod USA said that she hadn’t seen it, but that she would look for it. Candy Skaff/Eschelon asked if the CLECs would be charged for the dummy listing. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that they would not be charged. Stephanie Prull/McLeod USA asked how the dummy listing would be different then the non-published charge that they currently receive. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he would take an action item to clarify how the charges worked and report back to the team. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the CLECs were forced to do two listings because of a system limitation. John Gallegos/Qwest stated no, and that this CR is enabling the CLEC to submit without all the information on directory listings. He stated that the CLEC would come back to Qwest and provide the listing information, if they didn’t have it up front. John Gallegos/Qwest noted the LOE of 1800 to 3000 hours

Clarification Call March 21, 2003

Attendees: Stephanie Prull-McLeodUSA, John Gallegos-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Review of request: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR title and description. She asked if there were any questions or additions. Gallegos-Qwest asked about identifing the products impacted. Prull-McLeod stated that she was lery about making the DL form ocnditional. She stated that she would like to have the function at the time of provisioning the order. Gallegos-Qwest stated that it would help decrease the number of orders. Prull-McLeod stated that McLeod had had problems with publishing dummy listings. Gallegos-Qwest stated that he would research options. Prull-McLeod stated that Eschelon had also had issues with this and that if another call was needed to discuss options then they should also be included. She stated that it would occur regardless of the product.

Interfaces and Products: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the products of UNE-P, Contrex, Resale and IMA Common as the interface. She asked if there were any change. No changes or additions.

Confirm right personnel involved: Nolan-Qwest stated that the business representative was not able to attend and that Qwest would have a meeting with the business. She stated if there were any additional questions or concerns then she would contact Prull-McLeod.

CLEC Expectations: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the written expectation. "Mcleod expects to be able to process complex listings on an ACT of N order with minimal rework required by the CLEC. This is either by the changing of the requirement of the DL form on an ACT of N for resale customers, or changing the process to allow complex listings to be established with the provisioning order. This would make the resale products more consistent with the UNE product. And allow for order flow consistency for both the CLEC and Qwest."

Next steps: Nolan-Qwest stated that this CR would be presented by McLeod in the April meeting and that Qwest would provide a response prior to the meeting.

Meeting adjorned.

REVISED RESPONSE April 16, 2003 RE:SCR031103-01

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of McLeodUSA Change Request SCR031103-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meetings (held March 21, 2003) Qwest able to provide an LOE of 1800-3000 for IMA. There are no SATE impacts for this change. The change in edits will entail McLeod's recommendation to use the RPON field to make the DL form for a resale provisioning request with an ACT=N conditional based on a related HB (Listing Only) request.

In order for the provisioning orders to process correctly, Qwest will enter a designated non-pub listing on the provisioning order when issued, which will be removed once an order is issued and the complex listing request is completed.

At the April Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

This change is eligible for the IMA 15.0 prioritization.

Description Of Change

Currently all follow up responses in regards to a FBDL order comes via the confirmation completion report. McLeodUSA is requesting that all individual responses come back electronically to the individual PON not on an overall report. This does include IMA and EDI responses. This will allow the users to track their individual work without having to comb through a large report. This will eliminate the issue of CLECs having to use only one fax number for their information to be sent to.

Expected Deliverable:

McLeodUSA expects to receive individual responses to PON numbers via an electronic format. McLeodUSA also expects that the transactions will come back individually. This will allow CLECs to match up the information provided after the order to the individual user and pon that was submitted to make the requested change. This will make the FBDL transactions more consistent with the other EDI/GUI response transactions. It will allow CLECs and Qwest to manage the individual responses appropriately. This will allow multiple users to get their own response back to the pon they specifically sent in. This allows CLECs with multiple centers to bypass the issue of only one Fax number allowed per the process that it an issue today.

McLeodUSA expects this be implemented with an IMA release.

During the January meeting, these CR's were presented for approval to close. The CR's were deployed with the IMA 14.0 Release, on December 8, 2003. The CR's are currently in CLEC Test status. Stephanie, You asked that these remain open until you could test them. This follow-up is to ask if you have had the opportunity to test this functionality and are okay to close them. It was agreed, by the CLECs, that these could be closed off-line. If you are not ready to have them closed, can you advise of what problems you are encountering so we can investigate. Thank you. Michelle and Tracey, These CR's were originated by McLeodUSA (by Stephanie). Are you okay to close these CR's? Let me know if you have encountered problems that are not allowing you to close these CR's. I am attaching copies of these CR's. They contain the meeting minutes. Thanks to you all, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Currently confirmation completion reports from Facilities Based Directory Listings (FBDL) are sent as faxes to the CLEC for GUI and as the secondary notification for EDI users (for EDI CLECs, initial confirmation is received via the DSRED 855 transaction). The current process of faxing AC responses back via the confirmation completion report is inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. We would like to see automation of this process so that IMA common responds back via individual electronic responses at the CCNA Purchase Order Number (PON) level on all orders with a status of Confirmation (AT), Accepted with Change (AC), Acknowledged with Detail No Change (AD) or Rejected (RF). This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information. CLECs would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders with a status of AC. This will streamline processes for the CLECs and Qwest allowing for better resolution of the FBDL responses that currently come via the fax (for orders with a status of AC). This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products.

IMA will automate the process for both EDI and GUI users and will provide an electronic response back to the CLEC at the PON/LSR level for each FBDL request. Additionally, IMA will be modified so that when a PON/LSR is returned with a status of AT, AC or AD, the PON/LSR will be completed within IMA. However, when a PON/LSR is returned with an initial status of RF, the PON/LSR will remain in a pending status for 10 calendar days so that the CLEC will have the opportunity to correct errors. If the LSR is not corrected within the 10-calendar day timeframe, IMA will cancel the request. If the CLEC attempts to resend/resubmit the request after the 10 calendar day timeframe, IMA will notify them of the cancellation.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- September 12, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) stated the purpose of the call is to discuss the synergies of 5 CMP CR’s. Peggy stated that the 5 CR’s have synergies and would carry the same status as SCR103102-01. Peggy noted the 5 CR’s:

SCR103102-01 Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL responses, originated by McLeod. This CR is committed in the 14.0 Release

SCR012003-01 FBDL Errors after Order Completes. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR.

SCR041802-01 Partial Confirmation of Standalone Directory Listings. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR041703-02 Individual responses for FBDL, originated by McLeod. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR012003-02 IMA GUI Ability to Template Completed/Closed Orders. Peggy stated that this functionality will be delivered with 14.0 and asked Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) if he would agree to withdraw this CR, based on the functionality being delivered in 14.0.

Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) agreed to withdraw SCR012003-02. Alan will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest)

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has a relationship & synergy with 14.0 work for FBDL (SCR103102-01) and will carry the same status as the 14.0 candidates, and will close with it. Connie stated that this would not be on the vote list for 15.0 because of the synergies with the 14.0 candidate. There were no questions or comments.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated this would be discussed with the CR in the Design Walk-Thru portion of this meeting, Attachment N. This action item was closed, after the Attachment N discussion.

-- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeod USA reviewed the CR description. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is in Evaluation because Qwest is analyzing this request against an FBDL CR that is currently prioritized in the 14.0 Release. Connie stated that Qwest needs to determine if there is a relationship and needs to look to see how much is similar in order to LOE appropriately. There were no additional comments or questions.

Originator: Prull, Stephanie

CR PM: Stecklein, Lynn

Description Of Change

Currently it is a manual process for a CLEC and Qwest to decide which call forwarding USOC to use in the 1FB/1FR/UNE-P Pots platforms. McLeod is requesting that this process be automated in the flow through system. This will include the call forward busy, don’t answer and busy/don’t answer combo for overflow, interoffice, intraoffice.

Currently there is order rejected in error by the service centers, features being ordered incorrectly by CLECs and Qwest, and CSR’s not being updated with the correct USOC’s causing issue for change orders after the conversion

McLeod expects that the process of the call forwarding features be simplified by automation being added to the flow through system. We expect to be able to send a generic call forwarding USOC and the flow through system generate the appropriate call forwarding USOC on the service order. If the order drops for manual handling we expect the Qwest service center derive the correct call forwarding USOC for the service order.

This will be consistent with other USOCs that are passed or derived via the flow through system.

Mcleod expects this to be implemented as soon as possible.

Hi Michelle,

This email is to follow-up on a CR that was discussed in the November Monthly CMP Meeting. As noted below, Bonnie Johnson (Eschelon) stated that she needed to get with Steph Prull to determine if this CR could be closed. I did hear back from Bonnie and she said that Eschelon was ok to close this CR. I wanted to contact you due to the fact that this CR was originally submitted by McLeod. Let me know if you are also ok to close this CR and I will close it. If you are not yet ready to close, let me know that as well.

E-mail received from Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon 11/29/04

Purpose: High-level walk-through of the CRs that are committed in the IMA 15.0 Release.

Supporting Documents: Qwest Notification: SYST.02.13.04.F.01366.IMAEDI15.0Cand&DocWkth Documentation containing 15.0 Candidate Summaries: February 17, 2004, attached to notification CRs can be found in the Qwest Wholesale Change Request Interactive Report located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html

Functional Overview: This candidate will enable the user to provide a generic Call Forwarding USOC on the Resale Form and Qwest will derive the correct USOC (whether INTER or INTRA office) from other fields on the LSR (TN and CFN). IMA will display the generic Interoffice USOCs (FBJ, FDJ and FVJ) and Qwest will compare the TN against the CFN in the FEATURE DETAIL field following the USOC and will generate the correct Call Forwarding USOC on the service order.

Form Impacts: Resale (RS) Form

Products: Resale POTS UNE-P POTS UNE-STAR POTS

Activities: ACT = N, T, C, V, and Z

Discussion

Susie Wells provided the description based on the Overview Document provided with the agenda.

Phyllis Burt AT&T (Phyllis): What are the CSR impacts? Will the generic call forwarding USOC or derived USOC be used? Susie Wells Qwest (Susie): On a conversion? Phyllis: Yes. And takeovers. Susie: The CSR will display the derived USOC. John Gallegos Qwest (John): For transactions using an ACT of T and F, the USOC could change. Currently, the CSR will display the correct, applicable USOC. The USOC could change if the location changes. Stephanie Prull Eschelon (Stephanie): What about effective overflow USOCs? Susie: Affects all USOCS--busy, call forwarding, etc. Kim Isaacs Eschelon (Kim): If LSR uses the correct USOC, will it be rejected? Nicole James Qwest (Nicole): Only generic USOCs will be displayed. Kim: When you do a reject? Nicole: Yes. Kim: What are the high level edits for this change? Nicole: The edits and error messages will show the requested feature and explain issue for generic messages. The correct USOC will appear in the reject. Stephanie: Do FID format errors still apply? Nicole: Yes. Qwest is not replacing existing errors.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated the interest in this CR is very high for McLeod

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting Stephanie Prull/McLeod reviewed the CR description. The LOE for this effort is 1000 to 1675 hours. There were no questions or comments.

Clarification Meeting 4/28/03

Introduction of Attendees Stephanie Prull/McLeod, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, John Gallegos/Qwest, Denise Martinez/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Kimberly Powers/Qwest, Lee Gomez/Qwest, Qiana Davis/Qwest, Jill Martain/Qwest, Terry Kilker/Qwest, Lynn Stecklein/Qwest

Review Description of Change Lynn Stecklein/Qwest reviewed the Description of this CR. Currently it is a manual process for a CLEC and Qwest to decide which call forwarding USOC to use in the 1FB/1FR/UNE-P Pots platforms. McLeod is requesting that this process be automated in the flow through system. This will include the call forward busy, don’t answer and busy/don’t answer combo for overflow, interoffice, intraoffice.

Confirm Areas & Products Impacted The interface impacted is IMA Common and the products are UNE-POTS, Resale, 1FB, 1FR Pots

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation McLeod expects that the process of the call forwarding features be simplified by automation being added to the flow through system. We expect to be able to send a generic call forwarding USOC and the flow through system generate the appropriate call forwarding USOC on the service order. If the order drops for manual handling we expect the Qwest service center derive the correct call forwarding USOC for the service order. Stephanie Prull/McLeod cited the example of USOCs EVO and FBJ with 2 lines and where they have to manipulate the information on the CSR. She also stated that the orders are being rejected in error and have issues with the interoffice and intraoffice USOCs. She said that the LERG was not an option for the CLECs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they were not always sure if the TN had been ported. She also said that a very small percentage of the SDCs could answer why the order had been rejected. Stephanie said that they had issued a Product/Process CR that was denied. Jill Martain/Qwest confirmed that McLeod wanted USOCs based on interoffice and intraoffice. Stephanie said yes. John asked if McLeod or Eschelon could provide additional examples. Qwest has a clear understanding for definition purposes but we want to make sure we capture all examples.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests NA

Establish Action Plan McLeod will present this CR in the May 22, 2003 CMP Systems Meeting.

Description Of Change

McLeod would like to have the requirement of the previous address on a move order. This would make these both of these products more consistent with other products.

Expected Deliverable:

McLeod expects that a previous address is no longer required on an ACT = T for Resale Pots and UNE-P Pots. This will make these orders more consistent with other products. It also will eliminate rejects for an address that is being taken out of the system due to validation issues.

Project Meetings

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that they wanted to withdraw this CR. CR withdrawn.

- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that on a move order for POTS or UNE POTS, she does not want to send the out address at all, only wants to provide the new address. John Gallegos/Qwest asked if McLeodUSA is asking to only validate with only the TN. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we need to know the SANO in order to ensure that the correct customer is being moved. Connie stated that the out SANO is really needed for validation in case the TN is typed incorrectly. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she could live with that and stated that WorldCom’s CR, SCR022703-24, will need to be revised to add the ACT=T. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest will need to look at the impact to the WorldCom CR to see if we can add the ACT=T in 14.0. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest would see if there were any way to incorporate it into 14.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that if McLeodUSA wants this specific functionality, then recommends that the CR not be withdrawn since there is no guarantee that we can get this in. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she is ok with closing the Action Item and leaving the CR open. Stephanie stated that if she needs to revise this CR, to please let her know. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that we might need a follow-up clarification call after we do the research. It was also stated that the WorldCom CR needs to have added the ACT=Y and ACT=L. It was noted that there is an AT&T CR, SCR022703-21, that may also need to be looked at for synergies, as stated in the April CMP Meeting distribution package. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he would review SCR022703-21.

- April 29, 2003 Email sent to McLeod Requesting CR Status: Good Afternoon Stephanie, This email is in regard to your submitted CMP CR, SCR032003-01 Removal of Requirement for the previous address on UNE-P Pots and Resale Pots move orders (ACT = T). At the April Systems CMP Meeting, there was discussion that a WorldCom CR may meet your need, from your CR. The WorldCom CR is SCR022703-04 Allow Post Migration Transaction Order Types to be Processed by TN and SANO. I am attaching a copy of your CR and the WorldCom CR for your review and consideration. Will you please review them and advise me of the status of your CR; do we put it in Pending Withdrawal or does the CR need to be revised to add the word 'removed' at the end of the first sentence of your CR description? You will note that your CR does contain an Action Item for your review and decision. Your CR also contains the meeting minutes from the April CMP Meeting. Thanks Stephanie, please call me if I can be of assistance. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Stephanie (Prull) is going to review this CR and possibly withdraw it. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T stated that she would like to add LNP to the products list. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it might be better to have AT&T submit a new CR and noted that it is not too late for it to be included in the next vote. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the addition of other products would impact the Level of Effort for this CR. Jim Maher/Qwest reviewed the description of ‘pending withdrawal’ from the Process Document. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked for the CR number of the other CR that was being referenced.

Project Meetings

Excerpt from January CMP Meeting on January 16, 2003

Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that two notifications went out on January 14th, one was an exception for the sunset of IMA 11.0 (SCR010803-01EX) and the other is the exception for WorldCom’s prioritization for IMA 13.0 (SCR011303-02EX). Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the vote for SCR010803-01EX would be in the February Systems CMP Meeting. Laurel stated that an ad-hoc meeting would not be needed due to the timelines. Laurel reviewed McLeod’s exception request. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that the goal is the first or second week of Septemberr, with the earliest being around August 12. Laurel Nolan/Qwest reviewed that the “yes” vote would mean that we would move forward with changing the date, a “no” vote would mean that we would stay with the timeline as stated. She then stated that the vote would take place during the next Monthly Meeting in February. Laurel Nolan/Qwest- stated that the second exception request was submitted by WorldCom, SCR011303-02EX. Laurel stated that WorldCom is requesting to re-submit their prioritization and the exception is requesting that the prioritization results get re-calculated. A “yes” vote would mean to allow the new prioritization list as well as the recalculation. A “no” vote would mean to stay with the current calculation. We have the vote meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 2003. Ian Coleman/Allegiance stated that his concern is that he would rather see Qwest recalculate the vote, he does not want WorldCom to submit a different prioritization now that they have seen the results of the vote. Judy Schultz/Qwest clarified that WorldCom is not resubmitting their vote, they are just flip-flopping the assignment. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if it was acceptable to ask how the CLECs felt about this. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she we would support the request. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that she would include the attachment with the meeting notice. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she has already calculated and has sent it to the CLECs. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that based on the feedback from the CLECs, Qwest is to move forward with the flip-flopped list. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that time has been lost.

Description Of Change

REVISED DESCRIPTION:

Description of Change/Exception:

Currently if the Service Center receives 2 versions of an order back to back they will respond to the newest version only. This is inconsistent with the way the system works today if an order goes auto-flow. Today by the service centers not responding to all versions this does not allow the CLECs to sync up their responses or makes it look like they are not receiving responses from Qwest for some of their orders.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

McleodUSA expects that for every transaction we send we will receive some sort of response whether it’s via the system or the Service Centers. We expect this process to be changes acrossed all centers and all platforms. We expect this to be implemented ASAP.

-- January 24, 2006 Email Sent to Eschelon: Hi Steph - This email is in regard to the Eschelon submitted CMP CR SCR051203-01X Versioning Process Change. It is my understanding that this CR will no longer be needed due to the implementation of XML with the IMA 20.0 Release. My question to you is if you would like to withdraw SCR051203-01X. Please let me know by January 27th if this CR can be withdrawn. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

- February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that this CR is a medium priority for Eschelon.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. The CR Originator was not on the conference bridge. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this CR is high for AT&T.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that this is a medium priority for Eschelon and confirmed that the CR is an impact to IMA EDI only.

Meeting attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Stephanie Prull-McLeod, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest, Woldey Assafa-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Gregg Wachter-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Description of CR: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR description, expected deliverable, and impacts. She asked Prull-McLeod if there were any changes or additions. Prull-McLeod stated that there were not. Nolan-Qwest then asked if Qwest has any questions about the CR. Gallegos-Qwest asked if the response should be given when the LSR is submitted or if this was to occur only on supped orders. Prull-McLeod stated that they wanted the functionality when an 850 or 860 order was supped. She stated that they currently only get a response from Qwest on the supped order and not on the first submission. She continued that any time an order is changed to inactive that they wanted a response from Qwest. Assaft-Qwest stated that this would only happen on supped orders. Gallegos-Qwest confirmed that this request only applied to supped orders. Prull-McLeod stated that was correct. She stated that she could change the CR to make it more clear. Gallegos-Qwest stated that 'versioning' applied to lots of different things. Nolan-Qwest stated that Qwest needed to make sure that the CR was correct prior to starting the review. Manning-Qwest stated that during the original product/process clarification call that the team talked about notifications and determined that it might be best if it was automatic. Wachter-Qwest addressed the current manual process and that Qwest needed to do some further investigation on the processes tied to the active and inactive buttons. Prull-McLeod stated that they currently got responses through the flow-through system and that it was very fast. Wachter-Qwest stated that the ISC had the ability to also change the inactive and active buttons. Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any questions or concerns. None.

Meeting adjourned.

6/19/03 June Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA presented the CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that another Clarification Meeting would be needed with systems personnel.

- 6/18/03 June P/P CMP Meeting - McLeod and other CLECs agreed this should be crossed over to systems.

5/23/03: Held Clarification Call - agreed this CR should be crossed over to systems CR as CLEC is requesting change to EDI interface transaction set 5/28/03: Crossed over this CR to systems. We will get confirmation at the June CMP meeting that this is a cross over CR

Attendees Stephanie Prull – McLeod Monica Manning – Qwest Wendy Green – Qwest Woldey Assefa - Qwest Cindy Macy – Qwest

1.0 Introduction of Attendees Attendees introduced 2.0 Review Requested (Description of) Change Stephanie Prull – McLeod reviewed the CR. Stephanie explained that Qwest does not respond with an EDI transaction to the older version of an LSR when a newer version comes in when the LSR goes to manual. A response is sent when the LSRs are flowthrough. Cindy Macy – Qwest asked Stephanie why she didn’t identify the CR as a system CR with EDI impacts. Stephanie advised she wasn’t sure how to submit the CR as the process to have the SDC respond is a manual process but the response she needs is an EDI transaction. Monica – Qwest confirmed that Stephanie is looking for a mechanized EDI notification, but the generation of the notification does not have to be automated. Woldy, Wendy and Stephanie discussed possible EDI transaction sets that could be sent. The group discussed FOC or Rejct or Cancel but felt that these would impact the most current version of the LSR and that would not work. Possibly a new transaction set that makes that version of the LSR Inactive, but doesn’t affect measurements and the most current version of the LSR.

Description Of Change

Mcleod is requesting that there be a way to match up or link Trunks and Facilities in Billmate or on the Paper Bills. Currently, there is no correlation between the two bills for Trunks and Facilities. This makes it difficult to reconcile and correlate which trunks belong to which facilities.Mcleod expects that there be implemented an identifier of some kind on the Billmate and Paper bills that allows CLECs to identify which Facility and Trunks tie together. This is to be implemented for all Resale, Unbundled, and Access service type circuits. This identifier should be provided no matter what the combination of Facility and Trunks may be.

Mcleod expects this to be implemented as soon as possible.

10/16/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was denied Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she received the denial response.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Stephanie Prull/McLeod reviewed the CR description. She stated that McLeod is requesting that a link be created on the bill that will connect a facility to the associated trunks of the facility in order to reconcile their bills. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently evaluating this request and has determined that this may involve changes in multiple systems to complete the work. Lynn said that the estimated LOE at this point looks extremely large and that Qwest wants to do further investigation to determine what can be done. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if we provide both pieces today. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that currently the information being requested is on an individual basis and we have to go in manually and pull all the information from the various places. She noted that was part of the complexity of the request. This CR remains in Evaluation status.

Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that the trunks and facilities are on two separate bills and that it was difficult to correlate the trunk to the facility. Shelley Mason - Qwest asked if this ASCII format and Carl Sear - Qwest stated yes. Stephanie stated that they were looking for some type of indicator that would associate the trunk ID to the facility and was open to any other suggestions. Carl stated that the SBN is the tracking mechanism in CRIS.

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked if McLeod could send examples of what they were looking for so that Qwest could further understand this request. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she will provide examples of this scenario to Lynn.

REVISED RESPONSE

October 7, 2003

Stephanie Prull McLeod

CC: Lynn Notarianni Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Christy Turton Kit Thomte

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR080103-01 dated 08/01/2003, titled: Billmate/Paper bill Trunk and Facility Link Request

CLEC CR Description as written by McLeod: McLeod is requesting that there be a way to match up or link Trunks and Facilities in Billmate or on the Paper Bills. Currently, there is no correlation between the two bills for Trunks and Facilities. This makes it difficult to reconcile and correlate which trunks belong to which facilities. McLeod expects that there be implemented an identifier of some kind on the Billmate and Paper bills that allows CLECs to identify which Facility and Trunks tie together. This is to be implemented for all Resale, Unbundled, and Access service type circuits. This identifier should be provided no matter what the combination of Facility and Trunks may be. McLeod expects this to be implemented as soon as possible.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Thursday, August 7, 2003 with McLeod and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest reviewed the change request and asked for examples to aide in further evaluation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR080103-01, Billmate/Paper bill Trunk and Facility Link Request, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. Through Qwest’s analysis, it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $2 million. Additionally, there is no process currently within the systems that can associate one account with another without redesigning how individual accounts are structured. This type of restructure would require the systems to maintain account level relationships between accounts that have separate bill dates and bill on separate summary BANs.

Qwest is denying your request for CR SCR080103-01, Billmate/Paper bill Trunk and Facility Link Request due to economic infeasibility.

Sincerely, Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE

September 11, 2003

RE: SCR080103-01

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of McLeod's Change Request SCR080103-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held August 7, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the September Systems CMP Meeting.

At the September Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Description Of Change

Currently call detail records for bordertowns come across with the billing account number NPA, not the actual ANI NPA. This causes the CLECs to have to manually research all bordertown issues to reconcile their billing records.

McLeod requests that the correct city and state also appear on the bill

Expected Deliverable:

Mcleod expects on any bill where we receive call detail information for bordertown areas that we receive the ANI that the charge is actually associated with. Including the actual ANI NPA. This will help resolve billing disputes in a timely manner and help eliminate some of the manual processes the CLECs must follow due to this issue. This will allow the CLECs to reconcile their bills and bill their customers correctly, also in a more timely fashion.

McLeod expects the correct city and state to also appear on the bill.

Mcleod expects this to be implemented as soon as possible.

Project Meetings

February 2, 2005 Email Received from McLeod: Thank you, I will close the CR.

- February 2, 2005 Email Received from McLeod: Peggy, I'm sorry, I have confirmed with Jim that it is fixed on the DUF file. Sorry about that... You can close the CR. Thanks for your help

-- February 2, 2005 Email Received from Michelle Sprague, McLeod: Peggy, I knew that the boardertown CR went through but didn't think it was the DUF boardertown CR? I thought the boardertown CR only fixed part of our ordering issue. Which the ordering change was not apart of our CR. So I guess I'm still confused.

-- February 2, 2005 Email Received from McLeod: Yes, this is affirmative. The 12/03/04 implementation fixed our border town problem. I had sent an e-mail out to a bunch of people. You must not have been on there. All fixed from what I see. Jim Doyle McLeodUSA

-- February 2, 2005 Email Received from McLeod: I'm sorry Peggy. I must have misunderstood. I thought the Boarder town CR that was implemented did not change the DUF files, that was not my understanding when I attended training on the upgrade. So are you saying that the DUF files were updated to reflect the customer's true NPA/NXX?

Jim, please confirm whether or not the call feed files for Qwest show the customer's true NPA/NXX for boardertowns? Thanks

-- February 2, 2005 Email Sent to McLeod: Michelle, The requested change, SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files, was actually deployed on December 12, 2004. The CLEC Community had no dissent to closing the CR, they have seen no problems with the implementation of this CR, but we need your ok to close, as McLeod is the CRs originator. Qwest has also not received any reported trouble as a result of the deployment. Have you validated your DUF, since the December 12th deployment and found problems? If so, that is where we would ask that you open a trouble ticket. If you have not validated your DUF since the December 12th deployment, can you perform your validation and if you see no issue; let me know that the CR is okay to close? Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP

February 2, 2005 Email Received from McLeod: Yes it is still an issue. We originally opened a ticket a couple of years ago and it was closed because they said it was working as designed. So we opened a CR. I don't have the ticket number since it was so long ago. We are still requesting this change, so we would like to keep the CR opened, unless it's being declined. Thanks

-- February 1, 2005 Email Sent to McLeod: Michelle, We are continuing to research. Did you open a trouble ticket with the Help Desk? Will you please give me the trouble ticket number; it will be helpful in the investigation into this issue. The CR did request that the ANI that the charge is actually associated with, including the actual ANI NPA, be on the DUF (Daily Usage File). This request was specifically for the DUF. Maybe my first question should have been, do you still see this as a problem? If it is and a ticket has not been opened, could you please open one and then send me that ticket number? Specific information as to the issue is very helpful. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP

- January 26, 2005 Email Received from McLeod: Peggy, I'm not sure that our change request was addressed with the billing implementation that was deployed. We still need the billing feeds to reflect the appropriate NPA/NXX info. Is that correct?

-- January 25, 2005 Email Sent to McLeod: Hi Michelle, This email is in regard to the McLeodUSA CMP CR of SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files. This billing CR was deployed on December 12, 2004. I am not aware of any issues as a result of the deployment and ask if this CR can be closed. There was no dissent from the CLEC Community, at the January Systems CMP Meeting, to the closure of this change request. Will you please advise me if McLeodUSA is also ready to close the CR? Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM

-- January 19, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR should be ready to close. There were no objections from the CLEC community and Qwest would work off-line with McLeod.

- December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR deployed on December 12th and will remain open another month for validation.

-- November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the targeted implementation date for this request is 12/12/04.

-- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Susie Bliss/Qwest provided status on funding for billing CRs. Susie recapped the CRs and the order in which the CLECs ranked each CR in the ranking session. 1) SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition (originated by Eschelon) 2) SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN (originated by AT&T) 3) SCR0121102-01 Capability to request suppression of the paper Summary Bill except the summary page (Originated by Eschelon 4) SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files (originated by McLeod) 5) SCR121603-01 Only show the actual circuit ID on all billing media in the Eastern Region (originated by Qwest) 6) SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill (originated by Cbeyond) Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that she did not know if we would be moving forward on CR#6 SCR1120030-03 due Stephan Calhoun leaving Cbeyond. Susie said that she has two action items to complete before taking the issue up the ladder again. Susie said the 1st action item is to meet with the billing center to determine all the business benefits and the 2nd action item is to work with the Compliance Team to understand which CRs we may be obligated to meet. Susie said that she is hoping that by next week we will know which CRs will go down the obligation path, the CRs that require business cases, and which CRs will be denied. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she was surprised that Qwest was only to this point on this issue. Liz said that she understands Qwest is working on behalf of the CLECs and needs to understand why we are only this far in this process. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that SCR112303-02X Adjustment Recognition is the most expensive to implement. Susie said that if this CR was submitted today, it would have been denied upfront. Susie said that on billing and repair CRs each CR is looked at on an individual basis and needs funding approval. Susie said that this won’t change in 2005. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she wished she would have known that SCR112303-02X was causing Qwest a headache. Liz said that they could have been driving other CRs. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that based on what she knows today that #2 SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN (originated by AT&T) and #3 SCR0121102-01 Capability to request suppression of the paper Summary Bill except the summary page (Originated by Eschelon) should be implemented in 2005. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she thought we were looking to implement by the end of 2004. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if Qwest expected any movement at all in 2004. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we talked about pulling some CRs out of scheduled releases but IT advised against that. Liz Balvin/MCI said that Qwest has not yet run this issue up the chain. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the funding request went up the chain and then back down the chain. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if Qwest had any releases scheduled in 2005. Connie Winston/Qwest said that she has not seen the OSS schedule yet. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Retail was getting enhancements in 2004. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that she could not speak to Retail’s schedule. Liz Balvin/MCI said that she thought the CLECs ranked the CRs to get them implement by end of year. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that the plan was to start the funding process and to get the CRs implemented as soon as we could. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she thought that a few months ago that Qwest was running this up the chain and now it appears that none of these CRs will be implemented. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that there were questions that had to be answered before moving forward and we also wanted to validate the LOEs to determine if they could possibly be lowered. Susie also said that with additional research, we were able to lower the LOE on SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN (originated by AT&T). Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest was fighting for the 5 CRs mentioned earlier. Susie Bliss/Qwest said yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest would be providing the number of hours and the number of releases. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we are not obligated to provide X amount of hours for Billing and CEMR CRs. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI has been clear that if we are competing for resources we need to prioritize. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that MCI has been clear and that Qwest will provide a letter stating our position. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if we are equivalent to Retail and Qwest has a 271 obligation, MCI would like to see it in writing. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that in the past we have not provided a set number of hours on Billing and CEMR. Comment from Eschelon 7/30/04 - Liz Balvin/MCI said that it’s because there was no resource issue. Liz stated that Qwest should have invoked the prioritization process as outlined in CMP Redesign. Comment from Eschelon 7/30/04 - Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked if there would be a resource issue if the 5 CRs were approved for funding in 2005. Stephanie asked to have clarification of how that process worked. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that she was 95% sure that if funding was approved, there will not be a resource issue. Susie said that she is 95% sure if funding is approved that the CRs will be implemented and that there is no difference in Retail. John Berard/Covad asked if funding is done annually. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that IMA funding is annual and Billing and Repair is done as needed by individual CR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they will wait for the response from Qwest on their position. Jill Martain/Qwest asked if there were any other questions and there were none.

Meeting Minutes Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest reviewed the purpose of the meeting and stated that the Billing CR’s that are eligible for ranking are: SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Bill Except the Summary Page SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Qwest and the CLECs are trialing the process for the billing requests, that require funding, to rank them by your level of importance.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that some Billing CRs have already been targeted and funded. Susie stated that for those billing CRs that have not been funded, we need to determine which CRs need to go forward for funding.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the original discussion was why the prioritization process was not automatically invoked based on the CMP process. Liz stated that IMA was the only impacted system and she is now hearing that the CLECs need to tell Qwest which CRs are important to the CLECs in order for Qwest to fight internally to see which CRs get prioritized.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that we need to rank the CRs for funding approval, not to get prioritized.

John Berard-Covad asked if the ones identified as the most important would be implemented.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest would then need to write mini business cases for the CRs in order to go for funding approval.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that these billing CRs impact the CLECs and that Qwest is saying that Retail is resources are competing for system changes. Liz stated that she would like to see the CLECs have an allotted set of hours for billing. Liz stated that we should collectively say what should get done. Liz stated that item 1 would not be voted in if they knew that they only had 4000 hours.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that the CLECs need to tell Qwest what is important to the CLECs so Qwest can try and get the funding. Susie stated that Qwest no longer has an open checkbook and noted that Judy (Schultz-Qwest) had previously stated that fact.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that there are 2 items to address. Bonnie stated that the first item is the process going forward starting in 2005. Bonnie stated that Qwest needs to meet internally and decide what that process could look like. Bonnie stated that the second item is that we need to look at the 6 CRs that are currently on the table so Susie (Bliss-Qwest) can try for funding. Bonnie stated that Susie may not get any funding. Bonnie stated that the CLECs need to tell Qwest what is important to the CLECs so Susie can attempt to get funding.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she does not have an issue with the previous discussion but that she is not comfortable that Qwest will get the funding. Liz asked who Susie was fighting with for the funding, both Wholesale and Retail.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Retail uses the same funding process and it also goes up the latter. Susie stated that Qwest knows that Qwest has an obligation and understands the legal requirements for Qwest to not impede the CLECs ability to compete and do business. Susie stated that Qwest needs to know which CRs are impeding the CLECs ability to compete and which ones are nice-to-haves.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that Qwest is still making the decision.

John Berard-Covad stated that this is the current process and not the going forward process.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if all the CRs that have funding approved would be implemented in 2004.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest is working towards that but is still looking at scheduling.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that some CRs that are funded may have work to continue and carry over into the first few weeks of 2005 and noted that should be okay.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the CLECs do not know what the Qwest scheduling is or where it is. Liz stated that the CLECs are truly competing for the Qwest resources so they need to have input. Liz stated that the CLECs are not able to fight that battle, Susie (Bliss-Qwest) fights it.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked if we were going to discuss the 2005 process.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the process needs to first be developed, then communicated.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that when this was discussed in redesign, it was not inclusive to IMA. Liz stated that she needs to know how the CLECs get to provide input. Liz stated that the IMA process should be the process for Billing.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that prioritization takes place only if the capacity is exceeded.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that there are more CRs than can be implemented. Liz stated that it could be the same as IMA in the background and the CLECs just don’t see that. Liz stated that years ago, Qwest was building an entire billing system (4P) and now, 2-years later, it is gone. Liz stated that Qwest received a new CFO and 4P stopped. Liz stated that she now understands and feels better.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that the 6th CR, SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN, has not been formally presented so she would like to present it at this meetinf and could provide a recap at tomorrow’s Systems CMP Meeting.

SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that one of the questions that Qwest needs to respond to is why this CR is a systems CR and not a process change. Sue stated that a process change would require no systems input and in order to track the information that is not currently tracked, there is systems work involved. Sue stated that an example of information not currently tracked is the bill date. Sue stated that if the data is not in the system, the data cannot be obtained. Sue stated that the requested functionality does not currently exist. Sue stated that currently, there is not a field to allow the information to be in the systems in order to carry it thru to the output. Sue stated that bill date information is not stored in the system but noted that it is captured for bill output. Sue stated that back-end billing systems need to create the data for extraction to the bill.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked for which bills and asked if for all.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated is for all electronic media and the paper bill. Sue stated that this would be a benefit to all CLECs.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the problem or business need is that there is a spreadsheet passed back and forth and there is no way to validate it. Bonnie stated that the CLECs don’t ever know what is being credited and they need to know what a credit is for.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that this CR builds on to AT&Ts CRs for CABS/BOS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked how this CR is different from the AT&T CRs.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the bill date was not requested to be returned on the adjustment. Sue stated that USOC level information is not captured in order to go thru the systems. Sue stated that the output media is ready for the Telecordia systems but not for EDI, ASCII, or the paper bill.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if it would be down to the level of detail. Bonnie stated that Eschelon disputes a USOC on the Summary Bill for 25 of them. The Qwest Billing group says that the credit is for 20 of the 25. Bonnie asked if the CLEC would then know which 20 are being credited. Bonnie stated that the CLEC needs to provide the detail to Qwest but then Qwest does not provide it back.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that piece is a process change. Sue stated that Qwest can do at the sub level or the Summary level.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that this is good conversation because maybe there is a different way to do this.

Sue Krieble-Qwest stated that the EXCEL Spreadsheet contains the TNs.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that it does not always show-up the same way on the bill. Kathy stated that she realizes that mistakes can be made but they cannot validate what was actually credited. Kathy stated that the CLEC needs to try and figure out what was adjusted and credited.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that if this were to be at the sub account level, would it then be a process change only.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest responded no, because the system still would not have the from and thru date information or the USOC. Sue stated that the detail is currently not captured in order for the CLEC to see at the summary or sub account level.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if it could be done, it’s just that it cannot be retrieved from the system.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked if this woild provide the WTN or the circuit ID at the sub account level.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it would not if there were multiple TNs. Sue stated that the information is needed to be input for the adjustment.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked how Qwest verifies that the adjustments are accurate and asked if it was a manual process.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the SDCs input into the system, BOS/CARS or IABS. The SDCs then pull reports but the detail is not on the reports.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked how Qwest validates that the adjustment is valid.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated if the question is regarding a dispute, that would be a separate discussion and a separate meeting from this ranking session.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that they need the ability to validate an adjustment.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that Qwest understands and agrees. Sue stated that the SDCs currently validate via a manual process.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that when they receive a credit, does the adjustment provide details.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated is generic because the from and thru dates are currently not captured. Sue stated that an Out of Service adjustment may contain details. Sue stated that it is manually input into BOS/CARS.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked that when Qwest evaluated this CR, was it to update the systems to house the information or to pull data in order to provide the date to the CLECs.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated to input into BOS/CARS in order for the system to pass information through to the billing systems, for media output.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if the information was currently housed somewhere, to grab it from, without changes to the back-end systems.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the billing system would have to be aware of it thru the entire bill process or the bill output could be incorrect.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that this CR appears to be a benefit to Qwest and to the CLECs. Bonnie stated that they currently spend a lot of hours verifying adjustments. Bonnie stated that Eschelon goes to great lengths to provide details to Qwest and it is appropriate that when the credit appears, that the CLECs know what the credit is for. Bonnie stated that it is a very manual process to validate the credits.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that Qwest does not argue that, we just need to get the data in the systems.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked how disputes are currently sent.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated by Billing Spreadsheets.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that if the information is provided by the CLECs, we need to think of the easiest way to capture the data.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that some CLECs have created a text file and noted that Qwest is not yet there.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if Qwest would be looking for other options, for this request.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she would check with her Business Partners but stated that she did not think that there were other options.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked if the LOE was for BOS/CARS.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the LOE is for capturing the data and carrying it thru for processing.

Brenda Kerr-Qwest stated that there are a lot of systems files but CRIS is the bulk of the estimate.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that this CR seems to be of high importance.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that it is very high for Eschelon.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this request is for all UBL products.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon responded yes.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked if any AT&T participants had any comments or questions. None were brought forward.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that she does not know if all UBLs are billed out of CRIS and this is good information to know.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that all UBL via IMA LSR are billed out of CRIS. Connie stated that in QORA ASR, they are billed out of IABS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that was helpful information.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that there would be no restriction built in CRIS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if this would benefit Retail as well.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest responded yes.

John Berard-Covad asked if we were looking to get these 6 CRs ranked today.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that a big driver of prioritization is knowing if you can get 4 CRs for 20000 hours. Liz stated this could benefit the ranking process.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she currently has no dollars to say a number of hours.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition.

SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that this request is asking for CSR data on the bill. Sue stated that EDI does not have 811 series records for CSR data. Sue stated that the CLECs can get CSR via CABS output or via ASCII, but there is no EDI version of the CSR. Sue stated that if the CLECs want CSR data in the 811 records, Qwest would have denied this CR due to the fact that Qwest does not own the 811 records. Sue stated that the CSR data is on the CABS BOS file and it is currently available to them.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if it was available for all products.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated for UNE-P, UBL, and maybe for Line Sharing. Sue stated that there are some out of BOS, such as Centrex.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that Qwest could currently provide CABS format or ASCII format.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that this CR is for BOS BDT.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this would be a better CR if it asked for other products.

Connie Winston-Qwest responded if the CLECs wanted to re-LOE this CR.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this CR covered all UB Local.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that is not for LIS Trunking.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it sounds like CR is at the low end of importance.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill.

SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Summary Bill Except the Summary Page. Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that their Service Manager has suppressed all paper.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that they could currently select to suppress all paper or none of the paper.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon is asking for the Summary Page. Bonnie asked if this would apply to ASCII.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it is for the paper bill only.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that the CLECs want the ability for the option to suppress if they want to, or if they want an all paper bill, they can continue to get it.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that as an FYI, there is a black diamond symbol in the top corner that tells you that you are at the end of the bill.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if Eschelon currently receives the Summary Page electronically.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that they did but noted that it is not always correct.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that EDI and BOS, or the paper, could be the bill of record. Sue stated that ASCII cannot be the bill of record.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon wants an accurate ASCII Summary Page.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that ASCII phase 2 was denied funding, as it was a very big effort. Connie stated that is why this CR was taken out of Deferred Status.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked Kim (Isaacs-Eschelon) for an estimate of the inaccuracy of ASCII.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she was told, by Alan Zimmerman (Qwest), that some have sub-totals or that totals are not carried forward to ASCII.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if it was fractionalizing.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she did not know.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the other CR was denied.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it was a Qwest originated CR and that it was very large, about 20,000 hours.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that if it was looked at as to how much Qwest spends on printing paper bills, would it be easier to sell.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest is supportive of this change.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if all UNE Loops were included and stated that she needs the product set for this CR.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it is for everything that is currently summary billed.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Summary Bill Except the Summary Page.

SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files Liz Balvin-MCI stated that this CR is of high importance to MCI.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Qwest should have to provide this.

There were no additional comments or questions for SCR071603-02 Bordertown Changes to Billing Files.

SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Qwest issued this CR for Eschelon, under duress. Bonnie stated that Eschelon has a CR for the correct circuit ID and asked for the status of that CR.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she knows that it is very, vary big and that it is still being evaluated.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the circuit ID should be consistent throughout the process.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest is not sure how the other CR would be split. Connie stated that Qwest needs to know how important this CR, SCR121603-01, was to the CLECs.

Candy Davis-Covad stated that they see bills via the BTN instead of the circuit ID.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that was a different issue. Connie stated that in the Eastern Region, there is zero filling of the circuit ID and noted that this CR is to remove the uniqueness to the circuit ID. Connie stated that this CR does not address BTN.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if the circuit ID is not passed.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it is stored in the unique way.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if with this CR, Qwest would remove the unique rules and would store the circuit ID correctly.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated yes and stated that it would always look right.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if this was a functional change.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it would be for anytime there was a circuit ID.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked if this was for all output or only for ASCII.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that it was for all output.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what Qwest’s position was on this CR and asked if this was also an impact to Retail.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she did not know if this would impact Retail.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Qwest currently has no position, at this point.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region.

SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN Carla Pardee-AT&T and Ron Stanker-AT&T presented the CR to the meeting participants. Ron stated that AT&T needs to verify the Qwest bills and asked to what extent do they get the WTN. Ron stated that they always need to know what the WTN is. Ron stated that they are looking at it nationwide. Ron stated that they need to validate the WTN and associated non-recurring charges.

Carla Pardee-AT&T questioned the LOE of 10,000 to 20,000 hours and stated that it seems to be extremely high.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that the change would be in CRIS, so it may be all output. Connie stated that this was a quick LOE and noted that Qwest has not had enough time to devote to this LOE since it was needed so quickly after the Clarification Call. Connie stated that the broad range could mean that the billing team is nervous about this CR.

Liz Balvin-MCI asked if Qwest bills for all WTNs that are associated to the Qwest BTN.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that she did not have the details of the CR and noted that the CR is too new.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that this is #1 for AT&T.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if they currently have non-recurring charges identified at the WTN level.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she would have to check if they get it on ASCII.

Ron Stanker-AT&T stated that Qwest was not passing it and noted that Qwest did state, on the Clarification Call, that a change had gone into effect but stated that he has not had the opportunity to validate the bills yet.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that understanding the scope will help get a cleaner LOE.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon stated that she is seeing, on a UNE-P bill, WTN & BTN but not seeing on all.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that it could depend on the condition.

Ron Stanker-AT&T stated that he needs to see on all.

There were no additional questions or comments for SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that ranking would now occur for the following CRs: CR 1) SCR112503-02X Adjustment Recognition CR 2) SCR112003-03 CSR Data on Bill CR 3) SCR121102-01 Capability to Request Suppression of the Paper Bill Except the Summary Page CR 4) SCR071603-02 Bordertown Change to Billing Files CR 5) SCR121603-01 Only Show the Actual Circuit ID on All Billing Media in the Eastern Region CR 6) SCR041204-01 Populate CABS Billing with Activity by WTN

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon ranks as follows: 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that AT&T ranks as follows: 6, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2

Candy Davis-Covad stated that Covad has an interest in only CR 1.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that MCI ranks as follows: 1, 6, 4, 2, 3, 5

Jennifer Arnold-USLink stated that USLink ranks as follows: 1, 5, 4, 6 are the only ones of interest for USLink.

Connie Winston-Qwest stated Qwest ranks as follows: 1, 6, 3, 2, 4, 5

Connie Winston-Qwest stated that Qwest would tabulate the results and communicate those results at the next days Monthly Systems CMP Meeting.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the key is knowing if the change is being made in CRIS, then they know that it would make it to the CLECs.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the CLECs want the going forward process to look like IMA does and stated that she feels that the CMP document supports that.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that the going forward process would be researched.

There were no additional questions or comments. The meeting was adjourned.

-- May 13, 2004 Ad Hoc Meeting - Trial Ranking of Billing CRs Meeting Start Time: 1:00 p.m. MT

Purpose The purpose of the Ad Hoc Meeting was to initiate the trial process for ranking of the Systems CMP CRs for the Wholesale Billing Interface. The purpose of the ranking is for the CLECs and Qwest to rank the Billing CRs by order of importance.

Attendees Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Kathy Stichter-Eschelon, Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Emily Baird-Popp Communications, Maureen Carroll-Birch Telecom, Matt Connelly-Birch Telecom, Carla Pardee-AT&T, Nancy Sanders-Comcast, Jennifer Arnold-USLink, Liz Balvin-MCI, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Kit Thomte-Qwest, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Sue Kriebel-Qwest, Brenda Kerr-Qwest, Susie Bliss-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest, Michael Lopez-Qwest Meeting Minutes Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest reviewed the purpose of the meeting with call participants and stated that the Ad Hoc Meeting Notification included the spreadsheet containing the CRs to be discussed today and noted that the CR Detail is posted on the Wholesale web site.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that funding efforts are continuing but funds are limited. Susie noted that she still needs to send CRs for funding approval. Susie stated that Qwest would like to trial a process in order to help Qwest understand which CRs are important to the CLECs.

Carla Pardee-AT&T asked how many hours the CLECs were limited to and noted that there are CRs that are 1.5 years old: SCR012103-06ES and SCR012103-04ES.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that SCR012103-06ES and SCR012103-04ES are on their way to obtaining targeted dates and have funding approved.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that Covad had asked if CRs that have approved funding could be swapped out for CRs not yet approved. Susie stated that those CRs that are funded need to continue down their path. All agreed. Susie stated that SCR012103-06ES and SCR012103-04ES are just waiting for targeted dates.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what today’s call was trying to achieve.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that this is only a Trial.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if the Ranking List that was sent was only an example, as it does not list all of the Billing CRs.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the Ranking List is a complete List, to date, of all the Billing CRs that are not yet funded or scheduled. Peggy stated that the CRs that have targeted implementation dates are not included in the list and are not to be included in this trial ranking exercise.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon said okay.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that items 1 thru 6 on the Ranking List need to be ranked and items 9 and 10 are on the list due to parity, as Liz (Balvin) had asked about Retail.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked if there was a process to prioritize CRs and stated that is where we should begin.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that there is not a process for Billing CRs and noted that this meeting was to start discussing how that would work.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she thought the LOEs would be provided today for the 2-CRs listed as LOE TBD.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that those LOEs are as follows: SCR112503-02X is 8000 to 12000 hours. SCR041204-01 is 10000 to 20000 hours.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked why SCR112503-02X (Adjustment Recognition) is not a process CR and asked how many hours are allocated to billing. Bonnie asked if Qwest has a certain amount of hours available and asked how many of the 6 CRs would have an opportunity for implementation.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that the 6 CRs need to be looked at and we need to make a case for funding. Susie stated that this is an evolving process.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked to confirm that no one has told Susie (Bliss) that she has 30000 hours for Billing and that she has to build a business case for getting funding approval because you have used-up your time for the year.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that it is not that all the hours have been used-up for this year; it is the fact that the funding approval process was put into place. Susie stated that these are all doable.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that unlike IMA, where the CLECs are given the Release dates and hours, Billing is a different process and will need to rank them on an ongoing basis.

Susie Bliss-Qwest responded yes, and noted that CEMR may also be looked at for a ranking process.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that CEMR Releases are already identified.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that they are but that the CEMR CRs also go through the same funding approval process; even though there are scheduled releases.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she and Liz were confused because they thought that there was going to be a number of hours for billing CRs. Bonnie stated that Susie (Bliss) said that this would be an ongoing process and that the challenge is that all CLECs have different billing processes.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that thru redesign, only IMA fell into prioritization because there were so many CRs competing for resources and other systems were not prioritized because Qwest just did them. Liz stated that she believes that where we are today is that we need to invoke the prioritization process. Liz stated that due to the limited resources and that there are so many CRs; Qwest cannot implement the CRs within a year.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she interprets resources to mean systems. Susie stated that CRs need to first be funded, and then the system’s team works on getting the CRs implemented.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that is not how prioritization works. Liz stated that in IMA, Qwest tells the CLECs how many hours are available in a release. Liz stated that when Qwest says that funding approval is needed, it is not for CRs. Liz asked how much Qwest will allow for CLEC CRs.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she understands that and stated that she can take that back for internal discussion. Susie stated that she does not know what she can do for 2004 and stated that realistically, this would be a 2005 thought. Susie stated that Qwest will still be receiving CRs, in addition to the 6 that we currently have that are not yet funded.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she understood from the last meeting, that for billing CRs in 2004, there would not be any more funding approved and what has been approved would be implemented in 2004. Bonnie stated that she thought that the gate was closed for 2004 and now she is hearing that it is not the case.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she does not know that the gate is closed until she tries. Susie asked the CLECs what they want her to try for.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that the CLECs can tell Qwest what is more important but they need to know what is left, in hours, to go forward.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that she would take that back.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that SCR112503-02X would benefit all CLECs.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that it looks like only #s 9 & 10, SCR030204-01 and SCR011504-01, will be implemented.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that they need to look at items 1 thru 6 and stated that items 7 thru 10 are going forward.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that item #5, SCR121603-01, should not be on the list and stated that Qwest should implement as SCRP.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that the CLECs need to know what billing systems each CR is for.

Susie Bliss-Qwest asked if that information is available.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that some CRs cross multiple systems. Susie noted an example: SCR041204-01 is BDT format and impacts CRIS and IABS.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that Eschelon uses ASCII and asked what this CR would do for Eschelon.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that changes would need to be made in CRIS in order to populate the ASCII file. Sue stated that this CR, SCR041204-01, did not request the inclusion of any other media outputs.

Kathy Stichter-Eschelon asked that if they later need the changes for ASCII, would it be a smaller effort.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest responded yes.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that is good information to know.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked what the difficulty would be to add ASCII to the LOE.

Sue Kriebel-Qwest stated that she did not know and stated that she is just communicating the systems that are impacted. Sue stated for example, SCR112503-02X is impacting to CRIS, but it does impact multiple processing pieces.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that the Systems CRs are not discussed every month and noted that is part of the problem.

Liz Balvin-MCI stated that Qwest has many billing systems and stated that the CRs are usually pretty specific. Liz stated that the information needs to be in the CRs

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that since there are a few days before the next Monthly CMP Meeting, she is requesting that SMEs be available at the CMP Meeting in order to answer questions such as; what are the impacted systems and what bills will the changes be coming in on.

Susie Bliss-Qwest asked if the CLECs wanted to discuss the 6 CRs after the May Product/Process Meeting.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that she would like a review of the CRs and prioritization to occur every month.

Kit Thomte-Qwest stated that maybe they could be reviewed quarterly.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that a process needs to be developed, for 2005 and going forward. Bonnie stated that we need to start now with the 6 CRs. Bonnie stated that Susie (Bliss) needs to fight for funding and she is looking to the CLECs to identify the order of importance.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that going forward, for CEMR and Billing, will Qwest have a set amount of hours allotted or will ranking work the same as today. Bonnie asked that for example, if they know that there will be 60000 hours, will the ranking occur twice a year.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that there is no current process that has been defined for 2005.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that it does not work today like IMA and Qwest does not envision that will be the case, so it does need to be looked at as to how it will be managed.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that we do need to look at what the current process is and what the going forward process should look like.

Jennifer Arnold-USLink asked if the Billing SMEs will be available on Thursday.

Susie Bliss-Qwest stated that we would look and see if they are available Wednesday afternoon, after the Product/Process Meeting.

Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that if Qwest can provide SMEs and get down to the root, the CLECs can commit to meet then to rank the billing CRs.

Carla Pardee-AT&T stated that the CLECs will have SMEs available as well and needs the time of the meeting.

It was agreed by the meeting participants that the meeting will start at 2:00 p.m. MT. This meeting will be to discuss the 6 CRs with the billing SMEs.

There were no additional comments or questions.

This causes the CLECs to have to manually research all bordertown issues to reconcile their billing records. Expected Deliverable: Mcleod expects on any bill where we receive call detail information for bordertown areas that we receive the ANI that the charge is actually associated with. Including the actual ANI NPA. This will help resolve billing disputes in a timely manner and help eliminate some of the manual processes the CLECs must follow due to this issue. This will allow the CLECs to reconcile their bills and bill their customers correctly, also in a more timely fashion. Mcleod expects this to be implemented as soon as possible.

Description Of Change

Currently SATE does not flow through to Qwest backend systems. All "responses" are sent back via Vicki paths.

Expected Deliverable:

McleodUSA is requesting flow through testing for the SATE environment. McleodUSA would like to have the SATE environment flow through to FTS and the response be returned. McLeodUSA believes this would help address issues pre-production of backend system edits or issues. This would also make test case scenarios easier to identify for CLECs and the appropriate responses.

McleodUSA expects this be implemented in an IMA/SATE release.

Description Of Change

10/29/03 Eschelon and McLeod jointly sponsor this CR.

Currently Qwest billing systems only allow for one Active BAN in the UNE markets per stated. Currently no matter what the BAN is the Qwest system will apply it to the current active BAN. Or the service center will change the BAN to the active BAN.

Expected Deliverable:

McleodUSA would like for the Qwest system to allow multiple active Bans per state. McleodUSA expects the Qwest Flow through system and service centers to honor the BAN number that is sent on the LSR.

December 30, 2003 Email Received from Stephanie Prull: Thanks Peggy, I just wanted to make sure we were all still on the same page. The way it was worded below had me a little concerned. Sounds like we are. Stephanie Prull EDI Business Analyst

-- December 30, 2003 Email Sent to Stephanie Prull, Kathy Stichter, Liz Balvin, John Gallegos, Doug Andreen, Kit Thomte: Stephanie, I received your question/concern regarding the denial for SCR100903-02 Allow Multiple BANs per State. The denial is based upon research conducted for multiple BANs per state. Multiple BANs on a per customer base was also researched and the end result turned out to be the same. That end result is that the same system changes would need to be made whether they are for multiple BANs per state or per customer. Changes would also be required to be made to several of the back-end systems. Due to the cost to make all the necessary changes, at least $1 million, the change request was denied due to economic infeasibility. The $1 million-plus cost for the systems changes would be for either changes to allow multiple BANs per state or for changes to allow multiple BANs per state per customer.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

December 30, 2003 Email Received from Stephanie Prull: Doug, I think there is some confusion on my CR. My CR was to allow multiple Bans per State. My example was if we wanted to be able to have a unique Ban for a very large customer this would allow us to have 2 active bans in the state at the same time.

Please be sure the denial is for the approriate reason. I understand if its still denied but I want to make sure it was evaluated on a multiple ban per state system change. Not a different ban for every customer type situation.

Thanks Stephanie Prull

- December 30, 2003 Email Sent from Doug Andreen (Qwest) to Stephanie Prull, Kathy Stchter, and Liz Balvin: All, During the December CMP Meetings, it was mentioned that there would be an ad-hoc call to further discuss three CRs pertaining to Billing Account Numbers. PC102303-1 requests an increase to 10,000 lines per BAN from thecurrent 2,000, PC111303-1 requests multiple BANs per state per product, and SCR100903-02 requests multiple BANs per state per customer.

After reviewing all three CRs, we at Qwest feel confident that the unique requirements and intent of each CR is well understood. Therefore we do not feel the need to hold an ad-hoc call prior to the January CMP Meetings. The status of the CRs are as follows: PC102303-1 (originated by Eschelon). Qwest is proceeding with the agreed upon 6,000 line solution, with the implementation date to be determined. PC111303-1 (originated by MCI). This CR is still being evaluated and a response will be provided at the January P/P CMP Meeting. SCR100903-02 (originated by McLeodUSA, Stephanie Prull). This CR requesting BANs per customer, remains in Denied status due to economic infeasibility.

If you feel that an ad-hoc call is needed, please advise Peggy or Doug, via email, and a call will be scheduled. Thanks, Doug Andreen Peggy Esquibel Reed

- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR is in Denied Status and that the CR was discussed in the Product/Process CMP Meeting. Kit stated that an ad-hoc meeting would be scheduled to discuss all three CRs. Liz Balvin/MCI asked why this CR was denied when the other CRs for BAN were not. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is a fairly significant change to the system. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she wants the number of BANs expanded and noted that she is ok with 6,000. Liz stated that another CR is asking per product, per state. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that McLeod is request is per customer. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that this CR is the systems side of the Product/Process CR. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that a meeting would be held for further discussion of the 3 CRs.

- December 12, 2003 Email Sent to Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon: Hi Bonnie, I am attaching a copy of the current report for SCR100903-02 Allow Multiple BANs Per State. This CR is co-sponsored by Eschelon and McLeod. I do not have Stephanie Prull's email address so if you can send her a copy of this email, I would appreciate it. Thanks much. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI stated that another CR has been submitted and that this may be a duplicate. Liz stated that the CR is for product, by state. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would look at the other CR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it is a Product/Process CR.

CONFIRM IMPACTED INTERFACE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the CR identified IMA and Wholesale Billing as the potential impacted systems. Peggy stated that the impacted interface placed on the CR is 'Other' until the determination can be made. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated - that was fine. CONFIRM IMPACTED PRODUCTS: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the products noted on the CR are LNP and UNE. Peggy asked Stephanie if that was correct. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that other CLECs may want for other products. Peggy asked Stephanie if she would like to change the products to 'All' or if she would like to see what the other CLECs request. Stephanie stated that 'All' would be appropriate. Peggy agreed to change to 'All' products. MEETING DISCUSSION: Carl Sear/Qwest asked if mcLeod has resale accounts, UNE Star. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that this CR was targeted for UNE, not UNE Star. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she has internal initiatives that for their very large customers, such as Latter Day Saints or Walgreens, they should have their own BANs so McLeod can monitor their billing. There were no additional comments or questions. ACTION PLAN: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that McLeod will present this CR at the November Systems CMP Meeting. The call was adjourned.

Revised Response December 11, 2003

CC: Connie Winston Lynn Notarianni Sue Stott Beth Foster Christy Turton Kit Thomte Judy Schultz

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR100903-02, dated 10/09/03, titled: Allow Multiple Bans Per State.

CR Description: 10/29/03 Eschelon and McLeod jointly sponsor this CR

Currently Qwest billing systems only allow for one Active BAN in the UNE markets per state. Currently no matter what the BAN is the Qwest system will apply it to the current active BAN. Or the service center will change the BAN to the active BAN.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): McLeodUSA would like for the Qwest system to allow multiple active Bans per state. McLeodUSA expects the Qwest Flow through system and service centers to honor the BAN number that is sent on the LSR.

History: A clarification meeting was held on October 21, 2003 with McLeodUSA and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest clarified with McLeod that all products would be affected not just LNP and UNE based on the needs of other CLECs. McLeod agreed that the CR should be updated to reflect all products. McLeod also stated that this CR was targeted as an internal initiative that would allow them to better monitor some of their larger clients who do not currently have their own Ban.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR100903-02, Allow Multiple Bans per State, and has determined that this change is economically not feasible. Qwest currently provides active BANs on a state by state basis. Qwest auto-populates these BANs to ensure ordering and billing accuracy. This change would require Qwest to remove this automation, which would require Qwest and CLEC manual intervention. Additionally, several of Qwest’s front and back end systems would require changes in order to remove automation, modify existing accounts to allow the manipulation of BANs. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be at least $1 million. Qwest believes that to implement such a change to Qwest systems would be cost prohibitive.

Qwest is denying your request for SCR100903-02, Allow Multiple Bans per State, due economic infeasibility.

Sincerely, Qwest

RE: SCR100903-02 (Allow Multiple BANs Per State)

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR100903-02. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification Meeting (held October 21, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the next Systems CMP Meeting.

At the November Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received at the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting into further evaluation of this Change Request.

CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

Qwest shall implement EDITS in IMA to REJECT LSR’s when the ECCKT field has been populated when it should not be populated AND/OR when it is populated incorrectly.

Added Revision 12/30/03: Updates are needed in IMA to allow for only one ECCKT format to ensure manually created FOCs have a consistent ECCKT format, and to the LR worksheets to only include the valid format for ECCKT.

Currently, on LSR's with REQTYP=AB ACT=N, and REQTYP=BB, ACT=Z or V, CLECs can submit an LSR with the ECKKT field populated. An up front edit is needed to automatically reject these LSR's preventing manual intervention.

On ACT=C, T, D or V when ECCKT is not populated correctly, the LSR should be rejected. According to the LSOG (p. 24) Valid ECCKT format =

N.AAAA.NNN..AA

Example: 29.XFU.123456..MS

If NNN section of the ECCKT has less than three digits, then add leading zeroes, e.g., 5.LXFU.20..NW should be sent as 5.LXFU.020..NW

Expected Deliverable:

Qwest must begin enforcing the data requirements for ECCKT field of an LSR per the LSOG instructions. Qwest systems must be updated to implement edits in the ordering systems to reject invalid entries in the ECCKT field. Manual processing shall be instructed to follow the same direction and REJECT LSR’s where the ECCKT field is populated incorrectly. Implementation and notification should coincide with IMA 16.0 release.

Jill also said that the Release date for 17.0 was changed from April 25, 2005 to April 11, 2005. Liz Balvin/Covad stated that the LOE was reduced for this release and asked if Qwest would provide capacity in December of 2004. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide the capacity for 2005 in December of 2004. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if the 1400 to 1600 hours for SCR121003-01EX Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity scheduled in December were available. Liz said the hours should be available for 17.0 Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we were utilizing those hours this year. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that here understanding was that the hours were available for 17.0. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that we don’t know what the hours are for 2005 yet. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the available resources stayed at 20,000 hours for the year. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the 20,000 hours is an estimate for 17.0. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Qwest used to package to mid-range and that for 17.0 Qwest packaged at the high range. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that this is due to the uncertainty. Comment received from Eschelon 11/29/04 – and Qwest does not know the hours for 2005 right now. Liz Balvin/Covad asked why the IMA 17.0 production date was moved. John Gallegos/Qwest said that Qwest needed to sync up with other systems and for other technical reasons. John Berard/Covad asked if the date was moved because of the hours. John Gallegos/Qwest said no, it was not because of the hours.

- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Lori Langston/Qwest explained that this CR will deliver an edit for when the ECCKT Field is populated in error. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this is a medium to medium-high for Qwest.

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is high for Qwest. Lori Langston/Qwest stated that this CR is to standardize the format across the board. Lori stated that it would ensure that the ECCKT that is on the FOC is correct. Lori stated that if the ECCKT is not populated when it should be, Qwest would advise the CLEC. Lori stated that an invalid ECCKT was one of the reasons for a PIA.

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the CR is being revised so will send the circuit ID correctly on the FOC. The Action Item is Closed.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest opens CRs as a result of analysis that is performed on flowthrough errors. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the problems with circuit IDs are numerous and that there is no consistency. Bonnie stated that Eschelon has had to create internal business rules and would like to ask that if an edit is implemented, that Qwest clean up the format issues. Bonnie stated that Qwest should send back the circuit ID as it is received. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would look into making that part of the definition and would revise the CR, as appropriate. John Berard/Covad asked why Qwest couldn’t just ignore it, then Qwest wouldn’t reject because of it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she would discuss with the CR originator, Lori Langston (Qwest). There were no additional comments or questions. This CR was moved to Presented Status.

-- Clarification Meeting - October 24, 2003 Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR Description with CR originator Lori Langston/Qwest: Qwest shall implement EDITS in IMA to REJECT LSR’s when the ECCKT field has been populated when it should not be populated AND/OR when it is populated incorrectly.

3/18/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated in last month’s meeting, Stephanie (Prull/Eschelon) asked why this CR was on the 16.0 prioritization list but the candidate appeared in the 15.0 disclosure documents. Connie stated that this work was done as a result of an IMA trouble ticket that was opened. Connie said that the IMA team does not have visibility to the CMP requests so they were unaware that this CR existed. Connie stated that they did this work with the best intentions in 15.0 by the maintenance team and is a separate effort from the 40,000 hour release efforts. Connie said that this CR would be implemented with 15.0 unless the CLECs want the code to be pulled. The CLECs agreed that the change should be implemented in 15.0.

2/19/04 CMP Systems Meeting

Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that she had a question on candidate #28 – SCR073103-01 (Modify the Alphanumeric Indicator (ALI) code field on the Directory Listing Form to allow 6 characters).

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would create an action item to investigate.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was submitted to support Centrex listings and will allow 6 characters on the Directory Listing form.

Connie stated that today the orders are updated manually.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the LOE is 825 to 1375 hours and is an eligible IMA 15.0 candidate.

Description Of Change

There are times when there are multiple reasons for Provider Initiated Activity (PIA). Currently, the LR form only allows for one value. When there are multiple reasons, a PIA entry of 4 "Other" is required with a Remark entry. This requires manual intervention for Qwest to send an explanation and for the CLEC to interpret the explanation.

This request allows for up to 3 values for the PIA field on the LR FOC that improves mechanization by clearly defining all PIA reasons and eliminates the needs for manual supporting remarks.

Expected Deliverable:

Revised system character length for PIA, March 2004

Purpose: High-level walk-through of the CRs that are committed in the IMA 15.0 Release.

Supporting Documents: Qwest Notification: SYST.02.13.04.F.01366.IMAEDI15.0Cand&DocWkth Documentation containing 15.0 Candidate Summaries: February 17, 2004, attached to notification CRs can be found in the Qwest Wholesale Change Request Interactive Report located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html

Functional Overview: This candidate allows multiple PIA values at both the order level and at the LSR level on an FOC Additionally it introduces new PIA values, removes or retires some existing values, and provides for multiple values of Other so each non-documented reason can be provided as a separate entry.

Forms: LR

Products: All

Activities: All

Meeting Discussion: Denise Martinez provided the overview based on the documentation published with the agenda.

There were no questions.

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked if for SCR062603-01 (Allow Multiple PIA Entries on LR Form), the field would not be retrofitted. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated correct, it would not.

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was high on Qwest’s list of CR.

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the CR Description and stated that the new PIA field will be introduced in the 13.0 Release and noted that the PIA field was previously called CFLAG. Connie stated that when Qwest FOCs, there can be multiple reasons why things were done and that is the reason for this CR, to make those reasons clearer. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked to confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if there are multiple reasons for changes to the LSR, you will see multiple fields. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that when there are multiple reasons the REMARKS field would no longer be used. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR is in Pending Prioritization Status.

- Clarification - June 30, 2003 Review CR Description: There are times when there are multiple reasons for Provider Initiated Activity (PIA). Currently, the LR form only allows for one value. When there are multiple reasons, a PIA entry of 4 "Other" is required with a Remark entry. This requires manual intervention for Qwest to send an explanation and for the CLEC to interpret the explanation. This request allows for up to 3 values for the PIA field on the LR FOC that improves mechanization by clearly defining all PIA reasons and eliminates the needs for manual supporting remarks. Confirm Impacted Interface(s): IMA Common Confirm Product(s): All Confirmed Client Expectation(s): Revised system character length for PIA. Additional Clarification: None. Qwest understands this request. Action Plan: CR to be presented at the July Systems CMP Meeting.

RE: SCR062603-01 Allow Multiple PIA Entries on LR Form

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR062603-01). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held June 30, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 1250 to 2075 hours for this IMA Change Request, with no SATE impacts.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request.

This Change Request is an eligible candidate for the IMA 15.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest

Originator: Wells, Joan
Originator Company Name: Qwest Corporation
Owner: Winston, Connie
Director:
CR PM: Esquibel-Reed, Peggy

Description Of Change

Telephone numbers need to be administered at the rate center level rather than the switch level. As telephone numbers are exhausted in a switch, providers will be required to 'internally port' numbers from another switch in the same rate center. This process will affect certain Pre-Order functions (e.g., feature/service availability); if a TN has been ported from its native switch to another switch, Pre-Order functions will need to use WTN, rather than LSO or NPA/NXX, as the inquiry key to ensure accurate information is returned. Therefore, a method is needed in Pre-Order to inform customers that a TN has been internally ported.

Add an indicator field in Pre-Order that will notify a customer that a TN has been internally ported. This field may also be used for numbers that have been pooled. It has been suggested through the OBF that the industry adopt this standard.

Expected Deliverable:

It is expected that upon completion, Order functions will use the WTN (Working Telephone Number), rather than LSO or NPA/NXX, as the inquiry key to ensure accurate information is returned. And that, a method will be established for Pre-Order to inform customers that a TN has been internally ported.

An indicator field in Pre-Order will notify a customer that a TN has been internally ported. This field may also be used for numbers that have been pooled.

Project Meetings

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is also being withdrawn and noted that it was implemented with other number portability functionality.

- September 15, 2003 Email Received From Joan Wells/Qwest asking to withdraw CR.

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest may withdraw this request and recommended that it not be high in the vote. There were no questions or comments.

-- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the CR description and stated that it is an LSOG 7 candidate. Liz Balvin/MCI asked for the recommended timeframe. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is a voteable candidate and stated that the LSOG 7 window could be September 2003 to March 2004. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the baseline LSOG 7 is needed first. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes and that it would be discussed at August CMP. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if this is a Regulatory request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it was evaluated and so far, Qwest cannot justify a classification of Regulatory, so is classified as an Industry Guideline CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she is checking to make sure there is not an FCC order and stated that if there is, we will bring this back and follow the process for Regulatory requests. There were no additional questions or comments. This CR is in Pending Prioritization status.

- Additional Clarification - July 14, 2003 Per Joan Wells (Qwest): Revise CR to remove references to CSI, FCC order/Docket, and Proposed implemnentation date.

- Clarification - June 27, 2003 Review CR Description: A recent FCC order (Docket FC00-429) requires that telephone numbers be administered at the rate center level rather than the switch level. As telephone numbers are exhausted in a switch, providers will be required to 'internally port' numbers from another switch in the same rate center. This process will affect certain Pre-Order functions (e.g., feature/service availability); if a TN has been ported from its native switch to another switch, Pre-Order functions will need to use WTN, rather than LSO or NPA/NXX, as the inquiry key to ensure accurate information is returned. Therefore, a method is needed in both CSI and Pre-Order to inform customers that a TN has been internally ported. Add an indicator field to CSI and Pre-Order that will notify a customer that a TN has been internally ported. This field may also be used for numbers that have been pooled. It has been suggested through the OBF that the industry adopt this standard. Additional Clarification: Joan Wells stated that the request is not product specific. The request is for a mechanized way to notify that a CLEC, when they obtain a telephone number from Qwest for any product that requires a TN, that the telephone number that they have been given has been either previously ported to an internal port thru Qwest to a different switch (interservice provider ported), or that it is a telephone number that has been pooled and Qwest has obtained that specific block from the pooling administrator. This would let the CLEC know that the numbers that they have been assigned have been pooled or ported. Joan stated that this is a notification to the CLEC that the telephone numbers are of that type (pooled or ported) because different processes and procedures may need to take place on the servoce order's, if the service orders include pooled or ported telephone numbers. Confirm Impacted Interface(s): IMA Common Confirm Product(s): All that require a TNs Confirmed Client Expectation(s): It is expected that upon completion, Order functions will use the WTN (Working Telephone Number), rather than LSO or NPA/NXX, as the inquiry key to ensure accurate information is returned. And that, a method will be established for CSI and Pre-Order to inform customers that a TN has been internally ported. An indicator field in CSI and Pre-Order will notify a customer that a TN has been internally ported. This field may also be used for numbers that have been pooled.

Project Meetings

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest initiated this CR and is looking to withdraw. Lynn stated that based on that decision Eschelon’s SCR121102-01 will be changed from Deferred to an Evaluation status.

9/18/03 CMP Systems Meeting Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we did have a meeting with the CLECs to discuss the ASCII invoice delivered in XML or CSV file formats and there are no outstanding questions. Lynn said that the targeted implementation date is May 2004. This action item can be closed.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest walked this CR on last month and that it is new app-to-app interface. She noted that the LOE is 10,000 to 20,000 hours and that the 270-day initial notification was sent out. Lynn also noted that this CR might be a better solution for Eschelon’s SCR121102-01 Capability to request suppression of the paper summary bill. She noted the walk through the new functionality is scheduled on September 4, 2003 and hoped that all CLECs would participate. The target date for this request is May of 2004.

Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this request is in development.

7/17/03 CMP systems meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest is looking at putting in place an ASCII formatted file in XML and CSV formatted file. She noted this would be a separate file with data available in an XML or CSV file type. This will give us the opportunity to provide ASCII format changes and will be a good enhancement for the current ASCII file availability. Lynn also said that she believes this could be a good substitution for CLECs who are using paper records, but do not necessarily want to go EDI or BOS. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if Qwest has some idea of what will be provided on the XML or CSV file before implementation. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that the XML portion will have specifications and is more complicated than CSV. Lynn also stated that this request would follow the guidelines for the introduction of a new interface. Sue Stott/Qwest said that an XML format is where the industry is going and is a much more flexible data transport format for data exchange between systems. John Berard/Covad added that more programs could read XML. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon would like Qwest to send the same type file as they do now. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that we would take that as an action item. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other questions or comments.

Discussion

Shon Higer provided the overview based on the document that accompanied the agenda.

Kim: Will the VCSR be running a batch on the day that the order completes? Shon Higer Qwest (Shon): This will run in real time. It will not be a batch. Stephanie: Will disconnects show as valid? Today we see pending disconnects. Shon: You may see it if it is actually pending. That is, pending in Qwest’s service order processor. Stephanie: So it won’t affect pending, but it won’t show when completed either. Phyllis: Normally, the AN can change on billing completion. How does this impact VCSR? Can the actual TN be part of the account number change by the time you get to billing? Shon: We pull it from the service order. Where do you see the billing change? Phyllis: When I do a migration, the cuscode gets reassigned. When I do a TN reserve, I don’t know if a new install or change. The CSR can change again. Shon: There is the potential is for the cuscode to change when going to CRIS. Potential for cuscode to change. Phyllis: What about the TN? Shon: I can’t think of an example. John: AN should not change. Phyllis: When we receive the SOC, is the CSR then available? Today, from AT&T’s perspective, we get our posted to be billed, etc. I can release an order once I receive the SOC. I don’t have to wait for billing completion. Is that still the case? Shon: Yes. Phyllis: No pending order issues? Shon: No.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Centrex 21 would be included in the scope. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that is great. This action item will be closed.

8/21/03 CMP Systems Meeting Jeff Thompson/Qwest noted that he now works in improving ordering systems for Qwest. Jeff stated that one of the things we would like to do is implement the Virtual CSR. Jeff said that if there are pending orders in the pipeline, the Virtual CSR would take pending orders that are in a ‘CP’ status and update the CSR that will be displayed to the rep. The rep. will then be able to construct the order with an updated CSR that will reflect the pending orders. We are asking that this CR be considered for the 15.0 IMA Release as a way to improve ordering processes.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was Qwest’s highest priority.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked what the level of effort was for this request.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that the LOE is 3075 to 5125 hours.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the recap functionally will work with the Virtual CSR.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated yes.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the request was for EDI and GUI.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated yes.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest had any plans to provide complete address info on the CSR.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that the existing CSR would be updated with whatever activity is there. Qwest considers it a very solid candidate for improving the ordering process.

Monica Avila/Vartec asked how long the information would stay on the CSR.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the order would actually post on the CSR in one to three days.

Monica Avila/Vartec asked if a customer was recently converted 25 days ago would this conversion be on the CSR.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that the information would be on the existing CSR.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked which customer code would be displayed.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest stated that we would be duplicating CRIS logic and that the correct customer code for the completed order will be displayed.

Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if the CSR would time out after a period of time.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that if the order errors out we would correct manually and the CSR would display what was returned.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the LOE of 5100 hours was for wholesale only.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that yes the 5100 hours are for the IMA portion. He also stated that if this gets voted high enough we will also have to do back-end work.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon summarized that the cost is to how it relates to IMA only and not any back-end systems.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said yes.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest reviewed what will happen with a Qwest to CLEC conversion. The order to convert the activity will show the account as converted.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest noted that Centrex 21 will not be included as part of this request. He said that for now, we are only looking at what we consider the simple products (UNE-P, Resale). Jeff further stated that once we implement UNE-P and Resale, if it achieves the benefits we anticipate we can look at expanding products.

Liz Balvin/MCI asked about timeline improvement.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that the minute the order completes, you will have access.

Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if the CSR will look like any other CSR or will there be an indicator of some type to flag the Virtual CSR.

Jeff Thompson/Qwest said that we would like some input on that question. Some of the internal discussions we have had indicate that we may want to color code the changes on the CSR for the GUI. Jeff stated that as we work requirements we could talk more about how the CLECs would like to see the changes. Jeff also said that when we discuss EDI we would have to be more creative.

Kit Thomte/Qwest stated this request is pending prioritization for the IMA 15.0 release.

7/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Jeff Thompson/Qwest was involved in the submission of this request. Jeff’s new job is to determine solutions for Wholesale Customers. Connie said that when you have service orders that have completed but have not yet posted to the CSR, the virtual CSR would provide this information. John Berard/Covad asked if this was applicable to completed pending orders. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes. Carla Pardee/AT&T asked if the virtual CSR would have the updated customer code. Connie Winston/Qwest said yes, assuming a pending order caused a customer codes change. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked how error resolution (9116) plays into this. Connie Winston/Qwest said if we could not resolve the error it would be shown on the order and would be very rare and a minor risk. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said thank you. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner asked which CSRs this applies to and could it apply to resale. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that she will take an action item to check and would not be for all products like Centrex. John Berard/Covad asked if we are changing from resale to UNE facility based such as a Loop would, we still see the CSR even if we no longer own it. Connie Winston/Qwest said that Qwest maintains the CSR for the Loop by Circuit ID. UBL is not included in this effort. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that the Products impacted are Resale and UNE-P and asked if there was potential for Centrex 21 to added to this request since Centrex has it’s own CSR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that we would check into that. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she would appreciate it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we do not have the LOE yet and will provide in the August CMP Systems meeting. We think it is exciting and will be a good thing. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that they really appreciate Qwest bringing this forward before you LOE so that we could provide input into the CR. Connie Winston/Qwest said that was our intention.

In conjunction with the CRIS system release targeted for implementation on January 31, 2005, Qwest will make no changes to its CRIS technical specifications. The CRIS system is changing to reflect the following CMP CRs, but the change does not have an impact on the technical specifications.

Western CRIS will now provide the NRC USOC along with the NRC USOC description and Dollar Amount in the Service Order Activity section of the bill for all RSID and ZCID accounts. This will be displayed on the CRIS bill and the appropriate BOS record. The NRC USOC will appear on all bill media including EDI and ASCII. Multiple NRC USOCs are not to be bulked.

-- July 9, 2004 Email Sent from Qwest to John Berard: John, Did you decide against the manual process?

This is the email that I handed you in the June 17th Systems CMP Meeting, for your review. Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

-- June 17, 2004: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest gave copy of the email that was sent on May 26th to John Berard. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Covad if, based on the information in the email, if he still had a need for the requested interim manual process. John Berard/Covad stated that he would review the email and get a response back to me.

June 8, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hi John, Any response to the email below?

Thanks, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

May 26, 2004 Email Sent to Covad: Hi John,

We met internally to discuss how the manual process might look like in preparation with our meeting with you. I was asked to provide you with some information and to request some information, prior to our call (not yet scheduled).

Comments:

- The FOC that Qwest provides currently contains the service order information/USOCs. The FOC can be used for validation. - Additional service order details can be obtained from the PSON. PSONs do need to be subscribed to via a call to the Help Desk. The PSON includes information form the Listing, Bill, Control, Traffic, and Service & Equipment Sections of the Service Order. - The bill that you currently receive does have the dollar amount, from the service order, so validation can currently occur. - The targeted implementation date for this CR is December 4, 2004. - In our internal discussions, we have so far been unable to determine how a manual process could be implemented for this CR. Our initial internal discussions have determined that if a manual process can be developed, it would be a very large effort that would require a large amount of time to develop and implement. This CR would most likely be implemented before any manual process could be developed and implemented. Questions:

- This Change Request is specifically for the 10-30-20 and 10-30-21 files. Does Covad receive and use these record types? - Will you please advise me of what your specific business need is for the manual process. This will help in our researching if a manual process could be developed prior to this CR being implemented. - Based on the information that I have provided above, does Covad still want to pursue a manual process? If this is something that you would still like to pursue, please let me know what your specific business need is. We can then take another look at any possible solution for a manual process and schedule a call with you to discuss. Thanks John, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM - Systems

-- September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the fix for trouble ticket 44886 would display with this CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this effort would apply to all bill formats. Lynn noted that the CR would be revised with that information. There were no additional comments or questions. This Action Item is closed.

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that PC051403-2 is related to this CR but that it is a different request. Lynn noted that the Product/Process CR is asking for zone information, which will require systems work, so she would like the Product/Process CR to be crossed over to Systems. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the resolution of the trouble ticket for Better OCC Invoices might take care of these CRs. Connie stated there would be a read-out at the September Systems CMP Meeting. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that the CRs description talks about CABS BOS and asked if it would also update Billmate. Kerri Waldner/Qwest stated that it is only impacting CABS BOS. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this CR is 700 to 1400 hours. There were no other questions or comments.

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest reviewed the CR description and stated that this CR is currently in evaluation and at this time looks to be a very large effort. Qwest is continuing to evaluate possible solutions. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked what is meant by dollar amount. Jami Larson/Qwest stated that it would be the fractional amount. John Berard/Covad stated that Covad has a Product/Process CR that is asking to address USOCs and stated that it could be related to this CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we would look into that possibility. There were no other questions or comments. This CR remains in Evaluation status.

-- June 20, 2003 Clarification: CR Description: Currently, western region does not provide the dollar amount at the USOC level in the OC&C Section of the bill. For the unbundled summary accounts in the BOS format, the amount will be populated in the BOS record. The amount provided will be directly related to the USOC. 10-30-20 and 10-30-21 records will be provided if the USOC is present. Impacted Interfaces: Wholesale Billing Impacted Products: UBL, UNE Loop, UNE-P Action Plan: CR will be presented at the July Systems CMP Meeting.

Project Meetings

June 21, 2006 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mark Coyne-Qwest stated that this CRs IMA component was implemented in April and that the DLIS portion was deployed on May 18th. Mark then stated that Qwest was ready to close this CR and asked for any objection to closure. There were no objections. This CR is closed in Completed status.

May 17, 2006 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that the DLIS component is being deployed on May 18th and noted that the IMA portion was deployed in the 19.0 Release. Jill stated that the DLIS portion was discussed in the last CMP Meeting and stated that with the DLIS deployment, this effort would be complete. This CR will move to CLEC Test on May 18th.

- April 19, 2006 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that this was just deployed in the IMA 19.0 Release and would remain in CLEC Test.

-- March 15, 2006 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lee Gomez-Qwest stated that an additional requirement is needed to add information to DLIS for ACT=W. Lee stated that this CR would now include the addition of the CCNA to 4 of the DLIS Listing Display Screen(s) Listing Detail, AN Display Search Response, Listing History Display and the Account History Display Screen. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon asked if this effort would be ready for the IMA April 10th release. Lee Gomez-Qwest stated that this additional DLIS requirement would deploy with a May 18th DLIS Release. Lee then noted that the DLIS Release is being added to the OSS Releaser Calendar. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon asked if they are to use LSTR from April 10th to May 18th. Lee Gomez-Qwest stated yes. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint asked if the new fields needed information for new service. Lee Gomez-Qwest stated that the addition is only for FBDL only, ACT=W and that it would be required on the LSR. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint asked if this applies if transmitted via EDI. Lee Gomez-Qwest asked when Sprint would be migrating to the IMA 19.0 Release. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint stated that they would migrate to 19.0 in June. Lee Gomez-Qwest then noted that the new fields would be available, for Sprint, when they migrate to 19.0 in June. Kim Isaacs-Eschelon asked to confirm that ACT=W is for FBDL CLEC to CLEC and that ACT = W is not necessary with Qwest to CLEC. Lee Gomez-Qwest stated that was correct. Jeff Sonnier-Sprint stated that if ACT=W FBDL CLEC to CLEC, he is assuming that the LSR is going to Qwest in order to provide facilities to the new CLEC. Lee Gomez-Qwest stated this would be for the FBDL Listing and not for facilities. Lee then noted that ACT=W is for migrating of Listings for FBDL (Product 14). Jill Martain-Qwest then stated that the DLIS Release would be added to the OSS Calendar and posted to the web site. This Action item is closed. Jill Martain-Qwest stated that this CR will be deployed on April 10, 2006, in the IMA 19.0 Release.

February 8, 2006 Combined Overview and IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation Walkthrough for IMA EDI Release 19.0 (facilitated by Qwest IT) Attendees List (may be incomplete): Kyle Kirves-Qwest, Anders Ingemarson-Qwest, Angela Stewart-Qwest, Annelyn Aficial-AMS, Carol McKenzie-Qwest, Chris Terrell-AT&T, Chuck Anderson-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Dawn Beck-Qwest, Denise Martinez-Qwest, Diane Burt-AT&T, Dianne Friend-Time Warner, Ellen McArthur-Qwest, Gary Berroa-Qwest, Jeff Yeager-Accenture, Judy DeRosier-Qwest, Lee Gomez-Qwest, Linda Birchem-Comcast, Lynn Stecklein-Qwest, Maria Aquino-AT&T, Mark Haynes-Qwest, Michael Lopez-Qwest, Nancy Thompson-Wisor, Orbit.com Representatives, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Roslyn Davis-Verizon Business, Shonna Pasionek-Qwest, Stephanie Prull-Eschelon Walkthrough Discussion: Introductions Kyle Kirves began the meeting by taking attendance and announcing the meeting purpose. The meeting notice included copies of the agenda, the candidate overview document, and a summary sheet of changes that customers can expect to see in the final version of the tech specs that do not appear in the draft. Kyle explained that the walkthrough would cover the candidates, the candidate impacts to the associated documentation, and the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation overview. Kyle introduced Ellen McArthur to go over the first candidate, SCR051304-01- Request for Line Loss Notification to notify CLECs if the customer was lost to a Wireless. CANDIDATE REVIEWS: SCR061703-01 Create New Fields of OCC and OCCNA to Identify Old Service Provider Lee Gomez reviewed the information provided in the candidate overview document circulated with the meeting agenda and the meeting notification announcement. Kyle opened the floor to Questions. Stephanie Prull asked if the customer will only be required to use a single company code. Lee Gomez replied that, today, the state-specific OCN is required for EDI CLECs and back-end processing converts the code to the Company Code. With 19.0, there will only be one CC regardless of state for all IMA users. Stephanie asked if the Company Code does not pertain to OCC. Lee confirmed that the OCC and OCCNA are for FBDL only and required with ACT=W. FBDL does not support ACT=V, therefore it is not required. Lee also confirmed that this enhancement is for FBDL only. Stephanie asked what happens if the code is not sent? The result is an error message stating that the field is required for FBDL ACT=W. Stephanie asked what the customer should do if the Listings Reconciliation Query is down. Lee stated that the customer should use DLIS. Lee also remarked that CCNA is not on DLIS. If LSTR were down, the customer wouldn’t be able to submit the order. Chuck Anderson suggested that the customer could submit a bogus ACNA, but that the customer would likely be better served by waiting to send the order. Might as well not send it. Lee suggested that the CLEC could always contact the LOC to request the OCCNA info prior to submitting an order. Stephanie asked if the code is a letter for letter match. Lee stated that the code is a letter-for-letter match in LSTR, and that OCCNA is a three digit alpha code. Abbreviated? It is not an abbreviated version of the company name, but is actually the current ACNA being used by the FBDL CLECs. Kyle asked about GUI documentation updates. Mark Haynes covered the changes to the FBDL documentation. IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation Review Kyle conducted the review of the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation. Kyle reviewed the agenda and advised as to the content of the agenda. Kyle reviewed the five change requests that are outstanding to date that CLECs can expect to see in the final disclosure. These changes appear as a separate attachment with the meeting materials. Kyle advised that there were no questions submitted through the CMP channels to date, but that those channels remain open through February 14, 2006. Kyle opened up the floor to questions on the changes for the Product/Transaction chapters (i.e., Appendix F). There were no questions. The majority of the questions asked involved the method Qwest uses to show changes in the new format and that change and replace cause the customer to stare and compare to identify the change. Chuck Anderson and Kyle Kirves agreed to review the process.

- January 18, 2006 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston-Qwest stated that this Action Item was opened because we thought that this may impact previous releases. Connie stated that they found a solution and it will not impact previous releases. Jill Martain-Qwest stated that the IMA and SATE 19.0 Commitment are in Attachment M and there are no changes from Packaging.

November 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Attachment M lists the IMA and SATE candidates.

- July 20, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion for IMA 19.0 Prioritization CR Review: Jill Martain - Qwest stated that we provided a list of all candidates for IMA 19.0 in the June Meeting. Jill said that for this month’s prioritization, instead of reviewing all candidates, we would like to trial reviewing the top two candidates per CLEC. Liz Balvin-Covad asked why the Covad CR was not on this list. She said that she submitted it before the June 1st cutoff. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said that the CR was a Product/Process CR not a System CR.

Below are the top two candidates per CLEC: Qwest #1 SCR061703-01 Create new fields of OCC and OCCNA on the LSR and DL Forms to identify old Service Prov #2 SCR052303-02 Request to Implement Interactive Agent Issue 3

AT&T #1 SCR051304-01 Request for Line Loss Notification to Notify CLECs if the Cust was lost to a Wireless Carrier #2 CR040204-01 PreOrder and Order Error Message When NPA NXX Does not Belong to Qwest

Liz Balvin-Covad asked if the Interactive Agent Issue 3 should be an Industry Change. Liz said that Qwest is not supporting Issue 2 anymore. Liz said that she was asking because the software won’t work going forward. Steph Prull-Eschelon said that if the Interactive Agent goes bad they would be in trouble as the vendor does not have to support it and EDI would be down until the new version was installed Jill Martain-Qwest stated that we currently don’t have it as an Industry Change and noted that the Industry Change CRs would still need to be voted upon and prioritized.

Covad #1 SCR102102-1X Dual Inventory of DSL Tie Cables in Tirks and Switch/FOMS #2 SCR052303-02 Request to Implement Interactive Agent Issue 3

Eschelon #1 Bulk PIC Change in IMA #2 SCR030405-01 Change to Reject RT Codes

Integra-Laurie Frederickson stated that she was not prepared for this exercise.

MCI #1 SCR103102-02 Eliminate PON Tracking Requirement for Reserved Title #2 SCR040204-01 PreOrder and Order Error Message When NPA Does not Belong to Qwest Communications

VCI #1 SCR040204-01 PreOrder and Order Error Message When NPA Does not Belong to Qwest Communication #2 SCR050305-01 Bulk PIC Change Process in IMA

Dianne Friend-Time Warner asked if all CLECs would be included in SCR031105-01 (Change of Usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders) Jill Martain-Qwest said yes.

Time Warner #1 SCR031105-01 Change of Usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders #2 SCR042704-01 FBDL PON Field

Sprint #1 #1 SCR031105-01 Change of Usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders #2 SCR10705-01 Directory Listing Changes in Conjunction with LNP.

Liz Balvin-Covad asked if Qwest new what the capacity for IMA 19.0 would be. Jill Martain-Qwest said that she did not know at this time. Liz Balvin-Covad asked if Qwest could provide a guesstimate. Jill Martain-Qwest said that her guess would be between 10,000 to 15, 000 hours but would not know until the end of the year.

-- February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that this CR is a high priority for Qwest.

-- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Lee Gomez/Qwest explained the CR and stated that this is a medium low for Qwest.

- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is a low priority for Qwest.

-- September 18, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that this has been approved for LSOG 9 and noted that the CR was opened for FBDL customers. Lee stated that this CR is to do the transition of migrating listings. Lee stated that the CLEC would need to match criteria, you would tell Qwest that you are migrating the listing to yourself. Lee noted that this would result in a change to the customer code. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked Kim Isaacs (Eschelon) to confirm that the problem was not on FBDL to FBDL, is on the Qwest CSR and having to verify information that is on the CSR. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that this does not apply to QCSR and asked what kind of orders Eschelon was referring to. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Eschelon gets an influx of rejects because of things on the Qwest CSR that was not being recapped. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated on UNE-P or UNE-E, for the do not call list, for example. Bonnie stated that they were previously not required to recap but now they are required to use all information because it is on the CSR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they are removing it and they are being required to recap it. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that is a 14.0 CR. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they are not carrying it over on conversion, they are removing it. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that this started in January. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that she talked with her Service Manager and was advised that this was due to the Qwest Quality Initiative; for Qwest to require the information.

Bonnie stated that it could be a Product/Process issue. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that she had a call with Mark Early (Qwest) and he advised her that it is due to the Quality Initiative that the information is needed on out activity. Kim stated that Mark (Early) is still checking into this. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would take an Action Item to get status from Mark Early (Qwest).

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the CR description and stated that this is very specific to FBDL. Connie stated that these are LSOG fields but that Qwest would like to implement them before LSOG. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner asked if these fields are required. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that they may be optional, will not know until it is defined. Connie stated that this might help in listings posting quicker. Connie stated that this might also help flowthrough. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if it would be better to bump up against DLIS. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that DLIS is the system that needs it and noted that this change request was originated by the DLIS process person, Lee Gomez. Connie stated that she would check with Lee to see if there are other options and stated that she would get Lee to attend the August Systems CMP Meeting to further explain. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that it would be appreciated if Lee could explain further at August CMP. There were no other questions or comments. This CR is Pending Prioritization.

-- June 20, 2003 Clarification: CR Description: Create new fields (OCC=Old Company Code and OCCNA=Old Customer Carrier Name Abbreviation) on the LSR and DL forms to identify Old Service Provider to allow for flow through for Directory Listings. Currently, every Migration/Conversion order (CLEC to CLEC) falls out for manual handling. NOTE: These new fields are currently in OBF Issue #2537 and targeted for LSOG9. Impacted Interfaces: IMA Common, DirB, SATE Impacted Products: Directory Listings Expectation: Successful flow through for Directory Listings (Reseller/Unbundled Network CLEC to Reseller/Unbundled Network CLEC or FBDL and FBDL to FBDL) Action Plan: CR will be presented at the July Systems CMP Meeting.

Description Of Change

Qwest is implementing a new USOC to identify the second line in a 2-line POTS package. The USOC will not be used for billing or provisioning the line; it will enable us to correctly identify and bill for the elements in the 2-line package account overall.. The impacted packages are identified in the table below.

Expected Deliverable:

Effective 8/9/2003 (or as otherwise determined as part of the Level 4 notification process), CLECs will be required to provide this USOC when ordering a 2-line package.

Fyi: Effective 6/12/03, CLECs will see this USOC on CSRs and Qwest will addd the USOC to orders issued in response to a request to add an impacted package. CLECs will be advised of this change in a Level 1 notification.

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the preference was more towards the three regions deploying in December. Lynn stated that Qwest went back to look at this again and noted that there is other functionality in the Eastern region that affects some of the same module for another CR. Lynn stated that if we deploy in December, Qwest would have to back out functionality and we would have about 3500 hours worth of wasted time and work. Lynn stated that the best thing to do is to deploy Eastern and Western in September and deploy Central in December. Lynn stated that there would be minimal impact to the CLECs who use CMDS and stated that Qwest is moving forward with the split implementation of September and December. There were no questions or comments.

Peggy stated that this was requested during the July CMP Meeting. Kathy Pearce/Qwest stated that CMDS is the Centralized Message Data System and that CMDS is a mechanical transmission of records among CMDS. Kathy stated that it is sending recorded call information from the Originator Company to the billing company. Kathy noted that there are currently 24 direct participants that utilize CMDS and that 22 of those are pre-divestiture companies, the former BOCs, including Qwest. Kathy stated that any company could become a CMDS company by contacting Telcordia. Kathy stated that CLECs and IXCs can have involvement, but will need to be a hosting agent with an RAO (Revenue Accounting Office) code. Kathy stated that there is a document located at http://www.trainfo.com. which contains RAO code guidelines. Kathy stated that the URL also contains contact information and other information. Kathy Pearce/Qwest stated that in CMDS, some off-line editing is done and that resends can be done if there is a problem with the files. Kathy stated that CMDS is by packs and have header, detail, and trailer records. Kathy stated that this CR, SCR051203-02IG, is for 20-02-09 and 20-20-10. Kathy stated that currently are limited to 9,999 records and this CR is requesting a limit of 99,999 records. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked to confirm that this is between direct participants and not a way for Qwest to distribute records to the CLECs. Kathy Pearce/Qwest stated that is mainly for access records, category 11 records. Kathy stated that category 11 records could have local arrangements. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked if the number of records within the packs are limited. Kathy Pearce/Qwest stated that current limits are 9,999 for call detail records. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that this is not an impact to Eschelon. Kathy Pearce/Qwest stated that CMDS does have reporting, but is between direct participants; the former BOCs. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that is fine for Eschelon. There were no other questions. Peggy Esquibel Reed/Qwest stated that there were 2 deployment options for this CR and that option 2 was decided upon, by the CLECs, so all 3 regions will by implemented in the targeted timeframe of December 2003. There were no additional comments or questions. The call was adjourned.

- July 25, 2003 Email sent to CLECs: Hi All, The above noted CMP CR, SCR051203-02IG Allow A Maximum of 99,999 Records in 20-20-09/10 Packs Transmitted Over CMDS, has 2 options for deployment of this request. This was mentioned during the July Systems CMP Meeting. During that meeting Qwest agreed to email those options to you, the CLEC Community. I am attaching a copy of this CR, which contains the deployment date options. Also in the CR is an Action Item for your preference as to which option Qwest is to move forward with. This decision will be needed no later than the August Systems CMP Meeting. Please contact me at Peggy.Esquibel-Reed@qwest.com if you have questions. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CRPM -- Systems

-- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there are options as to the scheduling of this request. Lynn reviewed the CR Description. Lynn noted that CLECs might have an issue with volume and the technical impact it could have to the CLECs system to receive almost 100,000 records per pack. Lynn stated that there are options available for deployment in order to provide the CLECs the necessary time they would need to modify their systems to handle the record size. Lynn stated that the options are that Qwest could implement the Eastern and Western Regions in September 2003, with the Central Region implementing in December 2003; or, implement Eastern, Western, and Central in December 2003. Lynn asked if the CLECs wanted time to decide if there is a preference for one implementation date or two. Donna Osborne-Miller /AT&T stated that AT&T would like to take this back and would let Qwest know. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon asked for a description of CMDS. Jim Maher/Qwest stated that it is a clearinghouse for toll messages. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked for an ad-hoc call for a CMDS discussion. Liz Balvin/MCI also stated that she would like an ad-hoc call for CMDS. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she also would like an ad-hoc call. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would schedule an ad-hoc call to discuss CMDS and stated that the options would be sent in an email. There were no additional questions or comments. This Action Item remains open for a decision, from the CLECs, on the implementation date option.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this is an edit that will prevent ordering of the noted packages with inward activity. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked that when Qwest is implementing edits, to look at all manual processes that it might impact. There were no questions or additional comments.

Description Of Change

PIC/LPIC will need to expand the record layout for CARE files to 1500 bytes. At this time no new fields are being added. CARE is expanding from 960 to 1500 bytes and all existing fields used by Qwest will remain the same, CLEC impact is in the PIC/LPIC Verification only.

A sunrise date of 6-2-2003 has been set for 1500 byte record and a sunset date of 6-1-2005 was set for 960 byte record.

The Version Number data element in the header/trailer records layout (positions 29-32) should be 0003 for 960 byte and 0004 for 1500 byte.

Currently PIC/LPIC is displaying the accept/process record count on the acknowledgement file in positions 105-111. It needs to be changed to 104-110 to comply with OBF.

Announcement Date: April 23, 2003 Effective Date: Immediately Document Number: SYST.04.23.03.F.04298.CEMRIDPWSecurityPlcy Notification Category: Systems Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: Security policy for CEMR ID and Password Associated Release Number or CR Number: Not Applicable

The purpose of this notification is to address an action item addressed during the CMP Monthly Systems Meeting on April 22, 2003.

During the CMP Monthly Systems Meeting, Eschelon Communications reviewed their request for the distribution of Eschelon employee CEMR IDs and Passwords to the individual user as well as to Eschelon's IT Department.

While Qwest noted that the request is technically feasible and requested that a CMP CR be initiated requesting the enhancement, upon further investigation Qwest realizes that we would be unable to fulfill this request due to Qwest’s Security Policy. This policy reads "Qwest assigns one Digital Certificate per individual user. Once a Digital Certificate has been assigned, additional system access may be requested to add to the user's certificate. This user is not allowed to share information regarding the Digital Certificate with any other person. If a user is found to be sharing a Digital Certificate, this violation will result in the termination of access to Qwest's Systems." This policy is available at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/systems/generalinfo.html If you should have any questions, please contact Beth Foster at bxfoste@qwest.com. Sincerely, Qwest

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR was deployed on April 14th, there are no open trouble tickets, and is ok to close.

- NOTIFICATION Announcement Date: April 14, 2003 Effective Date: Immediately Notification Number: SYST.04.14.03.F.04292.CEMRReleaseUpdatesUG Notification Category: System Notification Target Audience: CLECs, Resellers Subject: CEMR April Release and Update to CEMR User’s Guide Associated CR # or System Name and Number: Qwest CMP CR # SCR021903-01

This notification is to advise you that the new release of CEMR was successfully completed on April 14, 2003.

Please note that going forward, each new CEMR user enrollment will require obtaining a Digital Certificate that will map to their user ID and password. Existing users will be required to obtain a password that will map to their existing user ID and Digital Certificate. When users log in to CEMR, they will always be prompted for their user ID and password. This will ensure that access to CEMR is authorized and tracked on a per user basis, and help to mitigate any user misuse of client certificates. Client certificates are tracked on a per-user basis, and the user registered to an individual certificate is responsible for the use of that certificate.

The enhancements are reflected in the updated CEMR User’s Guide at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/training/cemrguide.html

Questions may be directed to Qwest IT Communications at itcomm@qwest.com.

Sincerely, Qwest

Ad-Hoc CLEC Meeting - April 11, 2003

Attendees: Kim Isaacs– Eschelon, Jan Step – WorldCom, Tonna – SBC, Eric – SBC, Janet – Eschelon, Todd – Eschelon, Mike Reith – Z-Tel, Lori Fredrickson – Integra, Jeff Tietz – Qwest, Jean Novak – Qwest, Eric Yohe – Qwest, David Anderson – Qwest, Sara Bolis – Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, Beth Foster - Qwest, Jim Maher – Qwest, Justin Sewell – Qwest, Connie Winston – Qwest, Diana Ward – Qwest, Randy Owen – Qwest

Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was in regard to a CEMR Release being deployed this weekend and Qwest wanted to answer any questions that the CLECs have in regard to the CMP CR, SCR021903-01 CEMR Usability Upgrades. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest opened the bridge to questions. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that she had a concern setting up new CEMR users. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that userid’s and passwords were sent out via Service Managers and stated that adding this functionality was a big change. Connie stated that the Wholesale Help Desk is to be called on Monday (April 14, 2003); they are prepared and have access to the system. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon asked if Eschelon would have control to set-up new userid’s and passwords. Diana Ward/Qwest stated that the process for new users has not changed and that a Digital Certificate would need to be applied for. Diana stated that when the Digital Certificate request is received by the security group, it goes to the user group and a userid and password is then assigned. Sara Bolis/Qwest stated that the Certificate is obtained from the Service Manager and the userid and password is sent via a separate email. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon asked if the CLECs could get a CC: of the email to their IT Department. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the Digital Certificate will have the userid and will need to look at the form to see if can accommodate 2 ID’s on it. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that Qwest will look at the process and have status at the Thursday CMP Meeting. CLECs asked if all existing Digital Certificates are valid with no change to the existing Certificates. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that is true, including the expiration dates. Tonna/SBC asked if that was the only change from this CR. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that the changes have been notified and are in the CR: to allow access via Internet Explorer 5.5 and maintain own defaulted data. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this call is focusing on the userid and password but there are other changes happening. Eschelon asked if there was a change to the form, such as a new form. Beth Foster/Qwest stated there is no change to the existing process. Eric/SBC asked if there was any change to the NLT. Justin Sewell/Qwest stated that the NLT functionality was not changed with this release. Lori Fredrickson/Integra asked that if a computer has a Digital Certificate on it, could anyone log on and use it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest recommends and supports the process of a Digital Certificate per person due to security and asked that the process continue to be followed. Connie stated that a notice is going out on Monday (April 14th). Connie noted that the Digital Certificate owner is fully responsible for anything that happens while that Certificate is being used. Lori Fredrickson/Integra asked that if push came to shove, could it be done. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it is physically possible but again stated that the person that you are borrowing from is totally responsible for that Digital Certificate. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the Help Desk is prepared and support will be there on Monday, April 14th, if needed. Todd/Eschelon asked for the telephone number of the Help Desk. Sara Bolis/Qwest stated that it is 1-888-796-9102, option 3. There were no other questions or concerns brought forward. The call was concluded.

Excerpt from March 24, 2003 Notification - SYST.03.24.03.F.04279.CEMRAprRlsFinlRlsNts: As notified earlier, the CEMR application will be enhanced to include an explicit User Id and password for each user so that the users can access the application from any machine on which CEMR digital certificate is configured. The User Id and password will be provided by the Qwest Service Managers. The login screen will be updated immediately to prompt users to contact their Qwest Service Managers to receive their new User Id's and passwords prior to April 13, 2003. The users added after April 14, 2003 will get the User Id and password information in email.

Summary of Change: The following changes will be made 1. The CEMR application will be updated to support Internet Explorer (version 5.5, at the minimum). However, this will not change the current windows or functionality of the existing GUI. Information on how to configure Internet Explorer for the digital certificate and other recommended settings for Internet Explorer will be included in the CEMR User’s Guide (Section 2.3 Other Prerequisites). 2. The CEMR application will be enhanced to add the concept of User Id and password to eliminate the need for a user to have a digital certificate on a specific machine to access the application. A new CEMR Login window will replace the current Password Entry Dialog box (Figure 3-2 in the CEMR User’s Guide). 3. CEMR application will now allow the users to access and add/modify their default user information. Instructions on how to access, add and modify the User Profile replaces Section 3.9 New Functionality of the CEMR User’s Guide. An icon for modifying User Profile has been added to the CEMR Tool Bar. A screenshot of the updated Tool Bar, with the new icon, will be included in the User’s Guide as Figure 4-2: CEMR Tool Bar. The description of this new category will be included in the User’s Guide in Table 4-1: CEMR Toolbar Icons. Figure 4-1: CEMR Home Page in the CEMR User’s Guide will also be replaced with the new screenshot of the Home Page, showing the updated Tool Bar. 4. In the Sonet Information window and the Carrier Information window, CEMR will now display the details in a table instead of the existing scroll-down list. Users can now use the checkbox to be provided at the beginning of each row to select the channel/DLR information/circuit details. The new screenshots will replace Figure 6-3: SONET Information window and Figure 6-4: Carrier Information for a T1 Circuit in the CEMR User’s Guide.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarriani/Qwest stated that this CR was reviewed in the February CMP Meeting and noted that the LOE is 150 – 200 hours. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. None were brought forward.

- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this is a Qwest walk on and that the CR is posted to the Wholesale web site for those on the phone. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that his is an opportunity to implement changes that are fairly small that initially came from a CLEC user session. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR might enhance the level of use of CEMR. Lynn stated that currently CEMR can only can be used via Netscape. This CR would allow the capability use CEMR via Internet Explorer. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this CR is 150-200 hours and that the targeted implementation date is in April. Stephanie Prull/McLeod asked if either Netscape or Internet Explorer could be used. Dan Busetti/Qwest stated that yes, you could use either one. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if there were any other questions. There were no other questions or comments.

-- Clarification Meeting - February 19, 2003 Attendees: Dan Busetti/Qwest, Kathy Garcia/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest Reviewed Description of Change: Qwest is proposing to implement the following enhancements as a result of user input: - Enable users to access CEMR using Internet Explorer 5.5. - Allow users to maintain their own defaulted data (eg. telephone number, email address, etc...) and to automatically populate the CREATE screens with user information. - Provide individual user log-ons in CEMR. This will allow digital certificates to be loaded to PCs and not be bound to a single user. Confirmed Interface: CEMR Confirmed Products: All There were no questions or comments.

-- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest asked if there were any objections to this CR closing. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that there were no problems and Eschelon is okay to close. This CR moves to Completed status.

January 9, 2004 Ad-Hoc Meeting was held by Cindy Macy (Qwest). The blocking discussion was in regard to the possible creation of a new PIA value for Blocking. This would require a CMP CR to be submitted.

- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is a patch scheduled to go in on Friday, December 19th and noted that this CR would remain in CLEC Test until the patch goes in and the CLECs have tested. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that Jill Martain (Qwest) has some questions that she is bringing internally to Qwest. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that she does have the Action Items. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

-- November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has been testing the job aid and noted that it is testing fine. Connie asked the CLECs if they also wanted to test the job aid. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T responded yes. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would ask for feedback in the December Systems CMP Meeting. This Action Item is Closed.

-- October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the target date for the Blocking Job Aid is October 17th. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked if every scenario that is in the blocking job aid was tested. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that was the case the last time and would ensure that is the case this time as well. It was agreed that this action item could be closed off-line, after the job is available.

-- September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Implementation of this candidate will permit the CLECs to request multiple changes to the blocking activity on a single line without the need to mark the request for manual handling and without the need to populate the REMARKS field with additional information. This candidate will also eliminate the need for the CLECs to populate the FEATURE and FEATURE DETAIL fields with blocking USOCs and FIDs.

Since Qwest will implement blocking based on the entries in BA and BLOCK, the CLECs will need to request a BLOCK value or group of BLOCK values equal to a valid Qwest product. Documentation will be updated to reflect valid BLOCK values and combinations.

Additional block values will be added for blocking pay-per-use features and for screening values associated with CustomNet.

Products: All products associated with product specific forms that can have a block feature.

Forms Impacted: Port Service (PS), Loop Service Number Port (LSNP), Number Port (NP), Resale (RS), Centrex (CRS),

Field Impacts:

FEATURE - Blocking USOCs will be prohibited in the FEATURE field.

FEATURE DETAIL (FEATURE DET) - Blocking FIDs will be prohibited in the FEATURE DETAIL field. BLOCK ACTIVITY (BA) - Remove current value of A-Add. Implement new value of E-End State of the Account (Block values that are not specified, as part of this block activity and that are currently on the account will not be retained.)

BLOCK - LSNP, NP, PS, CRS, and RS form screen change and EDI valid value change to accommodate additional Block values.

ACTs: N/A Questions & Answers:

Q: Will the Blocking USOCs and FIDs appear on the PSON? A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes, the PSON is a snapshot of the service order, not of what was submitted on the request. No additional comments or clarification requested.

Q: Will this upgrade apply to change ACT C orders as well as conversions? A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes, all ACT’s where the BA field is utilized. No additional comments or clarification requested.

Q: Will the CSR recap function return Blocking USOCs and FIDs that will need to be removed from the feature fields by the CLEC? A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes, USOCs and FIDs would be returned and stated that yes; the CLECs will need to remove USOCs and FIDs. Liz Balvin - MCI asked if the CLEC has to populate what they are intending to remove. Mallory Paxton - Qwest stated that the CLEC would have to remove, from the recapping CSR. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon asked if they would use the delete function in IMA. Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked for clarification. Kim Isaacs - Eschelon stated that in IMA, you can recap the CSR and noted that it is a GUI function. Mallory Paxton - Qwest asked if there were any other questions.

No additional comments, questions, or clarifications were requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS Conversion orders, migrate blocking as specified without having to specific changes to the Customer’s current blocking options. (ACT= V with BA= E) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest stated that blocking features that are to be retained, will have to be specified as BA=E for end-state. Mallory stated that the CLEC will have to specify the value and that the block field is required.

No additional comments or questions were requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS Change orders, adding blocking only (if QWEST doesn't support BA =A how is this accomplished?) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded that the CLEC would use a block of E. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked if 1 blocking option exists and are adding an additional, would the CLEC use BA=E and specify both. Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS Change orders, deleting blocking only (ACT= C with BA = D) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS Change orders, adding & deleting blocking only (ACT= C with BA = E specifying the end state) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes, the CLEC would use ACT=C with BA=E and show what the CLEC wants to end up with in BLOCK, rather than Remarks.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS Change orders - no change blocking only (ACT= C BA IS NOT REQUIRED) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes and noted that the CLEC may not be doing anything on a C request, and noted that it is not required. Phyllis Burt - AT&T asked if BA=N would be optional. Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded yes.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS New install & Move Order or Change Order to Add Line - adding blocking only ( (ACT = N or T) or (ACT = C & LNA = N) with BA = E) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded that BA=E would be used, even if adding new.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR that on UNEP POTS Disconnect Order or Change Order to Disconnect Line - removing all blocking ( (ACT = D) or (ACT= C & LNA= D) BA IS NOT REQUIRED) A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded that is a true statement, BA is not required.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if the BLOCK field values would still be required to be in alphabetical order. A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded no.

Q: Please confirm that with the implementation of this CR, if a draft Blocking Job Aid would be issued with the draft Technical Specifications for IMA 14. A: Mallory Paxton - Qwest responded that a job aid would be available but does not yet have that date. Liz Balvin - MCI asked if the tech specs would draw to the same conclusions. Connie Winston - Qwest responded yes.

There were no additional comments, questions, or clarification requested.

Liz Balvin - MCI asked if meeting minutes would be made available. Peggy Esquibel Reed - Qwest responded yes and noted that they would be emailed to meeting participants, would be noted within each of the CR’s discussed, and that a copy of the minutes would be included in the October Systems CMP Distribution Package. Connie Winston - Qwest stated that she would like the minutes incorporated into the walk-thru summaries document that has been provided to the CLECs. Peggy Esquibel Reed - Qwest stated that could be done.

Connie Winston - Qwest thanked Mallory Paxton (Qwest) for providing and sharing the information.

Action Item: - Provide date for when job aid will be available.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Mallory Paxton/Qwest presented this CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked for some clarification on the blocking, when to use ‘D’ and ‘A’. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if you can add to add a block without recapping. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated not as it is written it and stated that if the CLECs want that, she would need to look at all the BA’s and combine to get what is needed. Mallory stated that you cannot add without re-capping. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she wants to combine ‘E’ and ‘A’. Mallory Paxton/Qwest asked to clarify that AT&T is asking for a new BA value. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we would have to look at the LOE prior to the vote. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if we use this new value with the assigned meaning, and if we remove all blocking, can we put something in there in terms of migration orders. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that for UNE-P and UNE-P POTS on migrate as specified, you will give us USOCs and FIDs, as they are new. Mallory stated that with that CR, if you do not specify the FIDs and USOCs, you do not get the feature. Mallory stated that due to the unique nature of UNE-P, we are not going to combine. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that that is correct. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked to clarify that when they do a migration order, can’t use assigned on UNE-P POTS. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that you would need to give it if it exists and can use assign. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if she always has to give the assign value. Phyllis asked if can put UNE –P POTS and UNE-P CTX 21 on the migrate as specified order and always use a BA value of ‘A’. Mallory Paxton/Qwest asked AT&T, what if you want no blocking? Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated would use ‘Z’ and for UNE-P POTS will use A, N, or Z. Phyllis stated that that would satisfy AT&Ts need. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if we had closure. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she was having difficulty understanding the change for UNE-P POTS. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that for resale migrate as specified, can use any available value. Mallory stated that for UNE-P POTS, the difference is the Add. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated ok, as long as I know that’s the case. Mallory Paxton/Qwest stated that until this CR gets worked, you are still going to need to use your manual workaround for blocking features. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated add the value for supporting ‘N’, and add BA of ‘N’ and ‘Z’, block field not required. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that the LOE will need to be revisited. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest will turn around for the vote.

February 24, 2003 - Clarification Meeting

Attendees: Mallory Paxton/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Connie Winston/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest

CR Description Reviewed: - BA field will keep same values but meaning and rules will change. BA values will be: A-Assign (CLEC must indicated all desired blocking, even if it already exists. Blocking not indicated will be removed.); D-Delete; N-No Change (N will be default); Z-remove all blocking.

- BA will be a required field and will be auto-populated with "N."

- BLOCK field will have letters P, R, S, T, W, Y, & Z activated for PPU features as shown in attachment.

- All references to USOCs will be removed from rules.

- A new rule will be added to BA, BLOCK, FEATURE, & FEATURE DETAIL fields: "Blocking USOCs & FIDs are not allowed in FEATURE or FEATURE DETAIL". These entries will be derived by Qwest from the BA & BLOCK entries."

- FTS will derive the blocking USOCs & FIDs from the BA & BLOCK entries.

- Qwest will reject requests with blocking USOCs & FIDs.

- Qwest typists will be advised to reject manual requests with blocking USOCs & FIDs.

There were no other questions or comments.

Description Of Change

This exception CR seeks a change to the CMP requirement (sections 8.1.6 and 10.1 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document) for SATE to be available for 30 days prior to the release production date. 

As discussed at the December 19 CMP Monthly Systems meeting, to minimize the impacts of a potential work stoppage Qwest is moving the Release Production Date for IMA 13.0 to August 4, 2003. In order to maintain the maximum amount of IMA availability for 10.0 pursuant to previous exception CR request, SCR090302-01EX (Eschelon is requesting that the sunset date of IMA 10.0 be extended).

In order to accommodate this date change this exception requests a new timeline to have SATE available for 15 days prior to the release production date (beginning July 19) for IMA 13.0 Release.

January 16, 2003 Excerpt from CMP Systems Meeting Minutes

SCR010203-01EX Exception Request To Change The IMA 13.0 Timeline (Originated by Qwest) Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR was mentioned in the December Systems CMP Meeting. This was the situation where, due to a potential work stoppage, the deployment of IMA could fall on the same weekend. Qwest is requesting to move up the deployment, but this would affect the other Exception Request for the extension of the Sunset date of IMA 10.0. So, Qwest is requesting to shorten the timeline of SATE and maintain the extension of IMA 10.0. She continued that during the last meeting, no CLEC stated that they would be moving to IMA 13.0 immediately. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if it is only this time that you are suggesting changing this timeline. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said yes, unless we are in the same position in three years. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Regina Mosley (AT&T) if she had any issue with this request. Regina Mosley/AT&T stated that she did not have any issue with the request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked Stephanie Prull (McLeod) if she had an 11.0 sunset date exception request. Stephanie Prull/McLeod said yes. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if this CR would impact McLeod’s request. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that it doesn’t appear to have any impact, but we will continue to investigate. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she believes that this requires a unanimous vote. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Laurel Nolan (Qwest) would review the exception voting process. Laurel Nolan/Qwest reviewed the voting process and stated that the quorum is 6. She noted that ballots were provided in the packet, for those in the room, and that the forms can be submitted now. Laurel stated that for those on the phone, the votes could be submitted by sending their completed forms via email to cmpcr@qwest.com. Laurel reviewed what a vote of yes would mean, shortening SATE window to 15 days, and that a vote of no would mean that Qwest would not change the timeline. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that traditionally Qwest let CLECs on the phone cast their vote on the phone and asked if that had changed. Laurel Nolan/Qwest responded yes and stated that per the CMP Document, the votes are taken in writing. Ian Coleman/Allegiance stated that he was dialing up from home and would drop off the bridge in order to submit his vote. He would then re-join the meeting. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that if Ian was comfortable, that he could state his vote on the phone and he would need to follow it up with his emailed vote via the form. Ian Coleman/Allegiance stated that his vote was yes. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that she would calculate the votes, from the room and the emails, and read-out by the end of the meeting the results of the vote.

September 16, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was completed in the 15.0 release. The CLEC Community agreed that this CR could be closed.

August 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was implemented in 15.0 and would remain in CLEC Test.

-- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this was implemented in 15.0 and would remain in CLEC Test.

- June 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated this CR will remain in CLEC Test for another month per the request of Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T.

-- 5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the majority of the CRs in Attachment G were deployed in 15.0. Connie said that we usually like to wait for the 1st EDI customer to certify a new release. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that when the submitting CLEC of a CR has not moved to the release and another CLEC performs the test, they may not understand the submitting CLECs intent or their system may be different. Bonnie said that she initiated a CR to establish a new status and Qwest voted no. 6/1/04 - Revision to Minutes from Eschelon. Bonnie said that we need to define in the CMP Document, a new status that fits the situation when a CR has not been tested in a release. Randy Owen/Qwest said that we might look at something between CLEC Test and Completed. Cheryl Peterson/AT&T said that we might use CLEC Test One and Two. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that we could use ‘Pending Test’ or ‘CLEC Hold’.

Attendees: Anne Robberson-Process Analyst (Qwest), Curt Anderson- IT Systems Analyst (Qwest), Diane Burt-Systems Analyst (AT&T), Donna Osborne-Miller - Carrier Relations Manager (AT&T), Dusti Bastian-Process Analyst (Qwest), Ellen McArthur-Process Analyst (Qwest), Hank Martinez-IT Systems Analyst (Qwest), James McCluskey- ILEC Manager (Accenture), John Daugherty-Product Management (AT&T), John Gallegos-IT Manager (Qwest), Kathy Miller-Process Manager (Qwest), Kim Isaacs- ILEC Relations Process Analyst (Eschelon), Kyle Kirves-IT Analyst (Qwest), Linda Miles-Process Manager (Qwest), Lori Langston-Process Manager (Qwest), Marie Acceno-Systems Analyst (AT&T), Nancy Denny-IT Analyst (Qwest), Nicole James-IT Analyst (Qwest), Pat Bratetic-Process Manager (Qwest), Phyllis Burt-Systems Analyst (AT&T), Randy Owen-IT Manager (Qwest), Shon Higer-Process Analyst (Qwest), Shonna Pasionek-IT Analyst (Qwest), Stephanie Prull-EDI Business Analyst (Eschelon), Susie Wells-Product/Process Analyst (Qwest) Meeting Facilitator: Nancy Denny (Qwest)

Purpose: High-level walk-through of the CRs that are committed in the IMA 15.0 Release.

Supporting Documents: Qwest Notification: SYST.02.13.04.F.01366.IMAEDI15.0Cand&DocWkth Documentation containing 15.0 Candidate Summaries: February 17, 2004, attached to notification CRs can be found in the Qwest Wholesale Change Request Interactive Report located at: http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html

Functional Overview: Qwest will create product Identifiers for a new UNE-P with Line Splitting and an Unbundled Loop with Loop Splitting request to allow these to be submitted on a single LSR with a New or Transfer (N or T) order for UNE-P or Unbundled Loop service. This solution will require IMA to create a new Resale (RS) and Centrex Resale (CRS) Line Splitting form/worksheet. The new IMA product identifiers must pre-qualify for DSL to be accepted by IMA. IMA will implement PIA-14 with this request. Qwest will not hold voice portion of LSR if data portion must be conditioned or is unavailable. PIA-14=data portion not provisioned. IMA will implement 2 new REQTYP’s. UNE-P Splits will have REQTYP = SB, and UBL Splits will have REQTYP = UB. IMA will implement new DLEC CCNA field on the LSR form.

Form Impacts: L-UNE Resale (new form) L-UNE Centrex Resale (new form) LSR

Products: Line Splitting Loop Splitting

Activities: ACT = N & T

Meeting Discussion: Linda Miles presented the overview based on the documentation published w/the agenda. James: What are the new forms? Linda Miles- Qwest (Linda): Resale Service Split. Centrex Resale Service Split. Stephanie: For N and T for ACT of D, should we just use the REQTYPE? Linda: On a UNE-P, you’ll use the existing rules.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Qwest would respond to this walk-on item in an email to MCI, who had to leave the meeting early due to illness. Line Splitting and Loop Splitting are currently targeted for the IMA 15.0 Release. Loop Sharing/Line Sharing was deployed with the IMA 13.0 Release. System Event Notification verbiage for Ticket Number 198295, dated October 13, 2003: Description of Trouble: CMP CR SCR030603-01EXSC was targeted originally for deployment with IMA 13.0 on 08/04/03. One component of the CR, deployment of line and loop splitting orders via single LSR, has been delayed. All other components are scheduled for deployment with 13.0. Business Impact: UNE-P and Line Splitting New Connects and Outside Moves cannot be submitted on a single LSR. Unbundled Loop and Loop Splitting New Connects and Outside Moves cannot be submitted on a single LSR. All other components of the CR will be implemented as planned. Qwest Proposed Work Around: CLECs should continue to follow the current process and submit two LSRs with the Related Purchase Order Number (RPON) field populated for their UNE-P/Line Splitting and Unbundled Loop/Loop Splitting New Connect and Outside Move requests.

-- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has not yet fully deployed as stated in the Event Notification that was sent. There were no questions or comments.

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would deploy in Release 13.0, on August 4, 2003.

April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this CR was previously presented and noted that it is moving forward with IMA 13.0. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR would move to ‘development’ status. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the 13.0 Commitment list is posted to the web and that there is a handout for the room. Lynn stated that Qwest is committing to everything we packaged. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that LR form candidate is much larger than originally anticipated and noted that there are some risks that are being closely tracked and managed. Sue stated that we would do a read out to the CLECs if anything changes that would adversely affect the release Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that on the 13.0 Commitment List, the SCRP Candidate was not included. Lynn stated that the list would be revised and reposted. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Qwest is to provide quotes. Beth Foster/Qwest stated that quotes are provided to the initiator of the SCRP request.

- March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Crystal Soderlund/Qwest presented the CR and stated that it will be implemented with the 13.0 Release. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked if we were voting on SCRP today. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the vote had already occurred and that it passed unanimously. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated yes, she now remembers. There were no other questions or comments.

March 18, 2003 - Exception Vote Conference Call Purpose The purpose of the Exception Meeting was to vote on whether to treat the Qwest Exception Request (SCR030603-01EX) as an exception to the CMP. Attendees Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T Sharon VanMeter/AT&T Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest Liz Balvin/WorldCom Chris Conner/Qwest Carla Pardee/AT&T John Gallegos/Qwest Judy Schultz/Qwest

Meeting Minutes Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the following: A vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate that SCR030603-01EX will be implemented using the SCRP Process and will be implemented with the IMA 13.0 Release, which is currently prioritized. A vote of ‘No’ will indicate that Qwest will NOT invoke the SCRP Process for this Systems CMP CR and that this CR will be considered as a late adder CR for the IMA 13.0 Release, which is currently prioritized. There were no questions associated with the Yes and No vote. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Quorum was achieved with 5 Carriers. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that emailed votes have been received from NOS Communications, Eschelon, Allegiance, McLeod, and Qwest. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that WorldCom’s vote is ‘Yes’. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that AT&T’s vote is ‘Yes'. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that based on the results of the vote, Exception Request SCR030603-01EX was granted by a vote of 6 ‘Yes’ votes, 0 ‘No’ votes, and 1 ‘Abstain’ vote. The meeting adjourned at 10:12 a.m. MT

-- March 11, 2003 Exception Pre-Meeting (CMPR.03.07.03.F.01439.ExcepReqPreMtg) Attendees: Kim Isaacs-Eschelon, Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon, Liz Balvin-WorldCom, Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Jim Maher-Qwest, Judy Schultz-Qwest, Cindy Schwartze-Qwest, Crystal Soderlund-Qwest, Connie Winston-Qwest, Linda Miles-Qwest MEETING DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was to conduct the pre-meeting for the Qwest originated system's CMP change request, which is an exception CR to Add Qwest DSL Loop Qual by Address and Enable Single LSR For New Voice Service & DSL Installation. This exception CR is asking to utilize the SCRP for this change request. This exception is asking for an exception to the language as stated in the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Document, Section 10.4 which states " The SCRP may be requested up to 5 calendar days after prioritization results are posted. Peggy stated that Crystal Soderlund (Qwest) will give a hi-level overview of the change request. Crystal Soderlund - Qwest reviewed the CR, stated that the CR is to enable the submission of a single LSR for voice and DSL. Crystal reviewed the impacted product's: UNE-P with Qwest DSL, Resale Qwest DSL, Line Sharing & Splitting, Loop Splitting, POTS (voice). Crysatl stated that the current process is that service must be existing in order to order DSL. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon stated that she was very excited about this request. Bonnie stated that she had previous CR(s) that were denied and asked why the change of mind to implement. Crystal Soderlund-Qwest stated that this CR will be of benefit to both Qwest and to the CLECs. Crystal stated that Qwest currently spends an enormous amount of time with escalations and with orders not posting prior to the second order being submitted. Crystal stated that Qwest would like to implement this system's change with the IMA 13.0 Release. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon thanked Crystal for her honesty. Liz Balvin-WorldCom asked how SCRP will be invoked by Qwest and asked if it would be in the same manner as if a CLEC would invoke SCRP. Jim Maher-Qwest stated that the SCRP would be invoked in the same manner whether by Qwest or a CLEC. Jim stated that the process is stated in the CMP Document and that Qwest will follow the process as stated. Liz Balvin-WorldCom stated that she did not want to impact IMA resources working on 13.0. Jim Maher-Qwest stated that Qwest understands the concern and stated that this CR would be managed in a manner in that the 13.0 development resources would be separate from the resources for this effort. Liz Balvin-WorldCom asked if this was an Eschelon escalated CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that it is not an Eschelon CR. Peggy stated that this is a Qwest originated CR seeking exception to the SCRP language that states that SCRP may be requested up to 5 calendar days after the prioritization results are posted. Peggy stated that the 13.0 prioritization was posted on January 02, 2003. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if this CR ties into the other DSL CR's that Qwest has originated and asked if for Qwest Resale DSL, will Qwest provide conditioning. Cindy Schwartze-Qwest stated that we use the Loop Qual tool to get a red or a green and that we must get a green in order to submit the request on 1 LSR. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon clarified that if not a clean green, they would have to submit 2. Cindy Schwartze-Qwest stated yes. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked if this CR would apply only if a clean green is obtained. Cindy Schwartze-Qwest stated that Bonnie's statement is correct. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest asked if there were other questions. No other questions were brought forward. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that for the vote, a YES vote will indicate that this CR will be implemented using SCRP and will be implemented with the IMA 13.0 Release. Peggy stated that a vote of NO will indicate that the SCRP will NOT be used for this CMP CR and that this CR would then be considered as a late adder for the 13.0 IMA Release with discussion at the next Systems CMP Monthly Meeting.. Liz Balvin-WorldCom asked why this was considered as an exception CR when SCRP can be invoked at anytime. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the exception is due to the SCRP language that states that SCRP may be requested up to 5 calendar days after the prioritization results are posted. Peggy stated that the 13.0 prioritization was posted on January 02, 2003. Peggy stated that this CR is seeking exception due to the fact that we are beyond that 5 day period. Liz Balvin-WorldCom asked for clarification of the yes and no votes. Judy Schultz-Qwest stated that what precludes Qwest from using SCRP is the language to invoke up to 5 days after prioritization. Judy stated that if the vote is no, Qwest will attempt to get this CR into the 13.0 Release as a late adder. Bonnie Johnson-Eschelon asked that if this CR had been submitted within the 5 days, if it would not have been an exception CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated yes, that is correct. There were no other questions brought forward. Peggy Esquibel-Reed-Qwest stated that the meeting for the exception vote will take place on Tuesday, March 18th at 10:00 a.m. MT with the same conference bridge call in number and passcode. Peggy stated that a notice would be sent with the conference call information. The call was adjourned.

Description Of Change

Keep the current copy and paste functionality which exists in the 12.0 version of the IMA GUI, and add to that the ability to copy from and to applications external to the GUI, such as email, etc (assuming that these external applications also have system clipboard access). A logical switch can be added to the GUI to allow the users to access either the System Clipboard or the internal clipboard. If the user wants to have the ability to copy and paste from external applications, they will have to add the "accessClipboard" permission to their java.policy file. If the users do not want to want to modify their java.policy file, they will still have the internal copy and paste

functionality which exists in release 12.0.

Qwest has determined that the following disclaimer language is required for the implementation of this request:

WARNING: Enabling System Clipboard access may have adverse effects on the user’s system, and could allow malfeasant code to share potentially sensitive or confidential clipboard information with external sources. Qwest advises against enabling System Clipboard access, and disclaims responsibility for any resulting adverse effects. User acknowledges that by enabling this access, it is doing so at its own risk.

Project Meetings

12/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this functionality works and said that this CR can be closed.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would be implemented with the IMA 14.0 Release on December 8, 2003.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: This enhancement will allow IMA GUI users to expand their copy & paste capabilities. By modifying their java.policy file with an "accessClipboard" permission, GUI users will add the ability to copy from and to applications external to the GUI. The external applications used for copy and paste functions must also have system clipboard access. If GUI users choose not to modify their java.policy file, they will still have the internal copy and paste functionality deployed with IMA Release 12.0.

1. If the user decides to change the java.policy file, we will recommend (in the instructions) that a backup of this file be done prior to applying the change. This will protect the user if the java.policy file gets corrupted and provides them the ability to restore to the original java.policy

2. From the Sun Java web site: "Risks of Allowing this Permission: This would allow malfeasant code to share potentially sensitive or confidential information."

3. If the "accessClipboard" permission is turned on, then the GUI applet or any other applet running on the user’s computer, could access information that the user has in the system clipboard. A worst-case example: If the user copied their SSN or credit card number into the system clipboard, then went to a web site, which had a malicious applet, the applet could read this information from the clipboard and send it back to the computer from which the applet originated.

4. Each user would have to change their own java.policy file in order to gain system clipboard access. Depending on the computer literacy of the user, this could take some time. We are estimating it would take the average user 30 - 60 minutes to make the change to their java.policy if they had not done this before.

5. The user support staff may receive numerous calls regarding how to change their java.policy file if they have trouble completing it themselves.

6. If the user does not have "admin" access to their PC, they would have to rely on their local system support person to make the policy file change.

7. If IMA GUI upgrades to a newer version of the Java Plug-in in the future, the users may have to change their java.policy file again, because a new policy file is delivered or created with the new plug-in.

Questions & Answers:

There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

5/22/03 CMP Systems Meeting Ann Thomas/Qwest reviewed the description of the CR. She noted that this CR would add the ability to copy from applications external to our JAVA GUI. Ann alsostated that there are some limitations that Qwest wanted to make the CLECs aware of, associated with how Java delivers their applications. IMA will make the code change and anyone who wants to use the external cut and paste functionality will have to make configuration changes on their desktop. You have to go into the Java policy file, add a line to the file that will add the external clipboard permission. Ann also stated that we have no idea how each desktop is configured. It would be something that each user would have to be aware of and do at their own risk .You also need to know that when you open this up, it will open up your clipboard to every Java applet. If you are on the network, and you go to another site that has an applet, anyone may be able to access your clipboard. Ann also stated that with a new release of Java you would have to make the changes to your desktop. Ann referred to the warning included in this CR that states ‘Enabling System Clipboard access affects on the user's system, and could allow malfeasant code to share potentially sensitive or confidential clipboard information with external sources.’ Ann also stated that Qwest advises against enabling System Clipboard access but can do so at your own risk. Ann also stated that this is an option only and if the users do not want to modify their Java policy, they will still have the internal copy and paste functionality that exists in release 12.0

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked since they had this functionality before was the risk always there.

Ann Thomas/Qwest said that when we talked to sun Java they said they do not support this functionality and that it was a bug. This only happened to work in the pre-order screens because of the way it was designed.

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the before 12.0, when the CLECs were cutting & pasting, they were at risk because of this same issue.

Ann Thomas/Qwest said that there was some risk, but without having the policy file change the risk was not as great.

Liz Balvin/MCI said that we all talked about this and everyone voiced that this has impacted them severely. Liz also stated that she submitted a CR requesting that this request be implemented sooner that 14.0.

Connie Winston/Qwest said that Ann was here to discuss the technical part and since there were no other technical questions, we should conduct the vote for the late adder.

Jim Maher/Qwest stated that we should move forward with the late adder and prioritization and then work the exception CR under the normal guidelines.

Kit Thomte/Qwest said that they could be worked simultaneously.

Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon thanked Qwest for articulating the risks. She also said that she would like to take this back to her IT folks to make sure we are ok with exposing ourselves to this. Bonnie said that her understanding is that you will have the option to do this or not.

Ann Thomas/Qwest said that is true. If you do decide to take this option, Qwest will provide instructions and additional information.

Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if we are only talking GUI.

Ann Thomas/Qwest said yes.

Lynn Stecklein/Qwest stated that Qwest sent out a notification stating that Qwest would like to process this CR as a late adder for 14.0. She reviewed the vote of ‘yes’ that will indicate a preference to consider the late added CRs for the addition to the initial prioritization list and reprioritization of IMA 14.0 and a vote a ‘no’ will indicate a preference that the CRs are not considered for IMA 14.0 prioritization. She noted that quorum was achieved (more than six were present). She asked everyone to fill out his or her ballots in the room or submit an email ballot. The results of the vote will be reviewed at the end of the meeting.

4/17/03 Systems CMP Meeting Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she would like to keep the SCR060402-01 Ability to copy & paste within fields in IMA open. Lynne Powers/Tel West reviewed the email (dated 4/16/03) response from Lynn Stecklein/Qwest. (E-mail dated 4/16/03 - This is in response to your e-mail dated April 10, 2003 regarding the functionality question that occurred in the 12.0 IMA Release. SCR060402-01 (Ability to copy and paste within certain fields in IMA) was clarified and discussed in several CMP meetings and was implemented as specified in the request. The copy and paste ability was not supported functionality in the IMA GUI. For this functionality to become available, a CMP Change Request would be required) Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that copy & paste was not something we ever implemented and designed. We were not aware that you had the functionality. The functionality was actually part of JAVA which is software we don’t even own. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that copy and paste has never been a supported or documented feature for IMA. It was a feature that may have been active based on browser behavior. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that this functionality is an external clipboard. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that when this request came in, it required IMA to take control of the copy and paste capabilities for IMA. On the clarification call, it was specified to be copy/paste functionality within IMA only. Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that the individual at Tel West (who originated this) said he does believe that he clarified that he wanted both. Functionality was taken away and the CLECs were never told. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Jeff Thompson (Qwest) addressed a question from AT&T in a monthly CMP meeting last summer, and the notes reflect what we are saying here that Thompson indicated it was IMA only. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon said that she was told at training that she could go to an outside application and copy & paste. Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that there was no notification that the functionality was removed Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that again, on the technical side, it was never a supported functionality and that team didn’t know it was being done. We will validate with the trainers regarding whether they knew about the copy and paste functionality and try to improve that process. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that training is a side issue. The real issue is that there was a CR which took away functionality that existed. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we disagree that this was supported functionality and said that she was not sure we could resolve that issue. To put in a capability to allow you to handle both external and internal functionality is doable and it would require a systems change. Lynn also stated that it would require each of the CLECs to do some work on their side and to update their JAVA scripts. Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there a list of unsupported functionalities. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that would be like asking us for a list of things we do not know. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that this is functionality that was removed Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this process was documented. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that it was never supported functionality and so it was never documented. The functionality to Qwest was not a part of IMA Liz Balvin/MCI said that she was struggling with this concept. How is it that we do not have the functionality now? Sue Stott/Qwest stated that this was not advertised functionality and was not documented anywhere. When the request came in Qwest added functionality to control what could be copied and pasted. It was developed and tested according to the submitted Change Request. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that there was not full disclosure of what was going to happen when this was implemented. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she thought we were at a point where Qwest can’t give you a sufficient answer on how do we know about what we don’t know. She also stated that these types of things do not happen often. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon said that what you are saying is that you did not know what you had. When we called the Wholesale Systems Help Desk, they agreed with us and said they used to be able to copy & paste our email into IMA as well. She also said that when you tell me you did not know, that is not truthful. You knew, you just did not communicate with each other. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she did not think that was an accurate statement. She said that what Lynn Notarianni/Qwest is trying to state is that it was never anything developed in IMA. She also stated that the bottom line is that a CR needs to be issued and noted that Qwest would be happy to issue the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the CLECs have more users than we do internally at Qwest. Lynn requested that for the things that the CLECs do outside of IMA, to please identify what those things are as this would be helpful information. Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that you are asking the CLECs identify functionality outside of IMA that may be taken away. Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there is a possibility if the GUI users feel that this is not advantageous at all, is there a way to back it out. Sue Stott/Qwest said that we would have to look at it. The frustrating part is that in good faith my team, asked the questions on the clarification call and would have LOE’d to do both. This request will require an LOE to either back out the feature or add the external copy/paste in. It will likely require coding. Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there was a way not to have to wait a year and a half. Sue Stott/Qwest said that it could be possibly be as a late adder to 14.0. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would open a CR and process it as a late adder if that is what the CLECs want. Lynne Powers/Tel West said that is what they want. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that they feel that Sue Stott’s team are the IT experts. She also stated that they feel that when you knew that you were going to take control of the clipboard functions, we think that you should have come to us to advise that we would be impacted. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that during the clarification calls we can make sure to ask if there is anything being done outside of IMA. Liz Balvin/MCI added that we could ask how the functionality is today. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said yes, that is a good way to put it. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that it might be important to ask for additional clarification when utility functions are impacted. She will take the feedback to her team. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that we would issue a CR and bring it forward as a late adder.

Description Of Change

Qwest has reviewed the formal escalation submitted by WorldCom on January 29, 2003 requesting that the FID accuracy edit associated with SCR062702-09 submitted by Eschelon (prioritized #3 IMA 13.0) be lifted in a production patch. Qwest maintains its position that this is not a production support issue and therefore cannot be implemented in a production patch. In researching this item, Qwest has determined that there is an option that could be explored to resolve this situation. Given that this change has been prioritized by the CLEC community for implementation in 13.0, and that several CLECs have supported this escalation, Qwest would like to pursue this matter as an Exception Request to be initiated by Qwest.

Section 8.0 of the CMP document, states “Past Releases of IMA EDI will only be modified as a result of production support changes. When such production support changes are made, Qwest will also modify the related documentation. All other changes become candidates for future IMA EDI Releases.” Additionally, Qwest has determined that SCR062702-09 is neither CLEC code impacting nor requires updates to systems documentation. Therefore, Qwest plans to take action using the CMP Exception Process to work this candidate as quickly as possible, for all existing releases of IMA, prior to the implementation of the next major release for which it is currently prioritized.

Dear Ms. Balvin:

This letter is in response to your formal escalation (number SCR062702-09-E07) regarding CLEC Change Request number SCR062702-09 “Remove FID accuracy edit in IMA when the value is "C" or "D" in the FA field for a USOC,” dated June 27, 2002.

Qwest has reviewed the formal escalation and maintains its position that this is not a production support issue and therefore cannot be implemented in a production patch. In researching this item, Qwest has determined that there is an option that could be explored to resolve this situation. Given that this change has been prioritized by the CLEC community for implementation in 13.0, and that several CLECs have supported this escalation, Qwest would like to pursue this matter as an Exception Request to be initiated by Qwest.

Therefore, Qwest plans to take action using the CMP Exception Process to work this candidate as quickly as possible, for all existing releases of IMA, prior to the implementation of the next major release for which it is currently prioritized.

Qwest would like to initiate the aforementioned Exception Request as soon as possible and will consider your Escalation Response email as authorization to move forward with this proposed solution.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni Information Technologies Senior Director Qwest

Description: WCom identified production defect with EDI 10.0. The customer service record (CSR) retrieval pre-order query lacks required ordering information.

History: WCom received a "fatal" reject via EDI 10.0 due to Business Processing Layer (BPL) edit that requires a 10 digit TN be populated yet the CSR responded with only 7 digits (lacked area code) [PON: S011507695QWAZPR 4806491751]. Qwest initiated an internal change request. Qwest determined an Eschelon change request existed (SCR062702-09) that would correct this production defect by lifting the edit on features that are to be changed or disconnected. The open change request is evidence that CLECs are impacted.

Reason for Escalation: Qwest's invalid reject places CLECs at a competitive disadvantage. Burden should not be placed on CLECs to obtain area codes for numbers that will be changed or disconnected upon migration. Documented business rules cannot be systematically supported.

Business need and impact: Call Forwarding is a standard offering of WCom's local services, thus impact is severe. All CLECs are impacted because preorder to order integration cannot be supported. In addition, this evidence proves Qwest CSRs are not accurately reflecting information that is programmed into the Qwest switches.

Desired CLEC resolution: That the FID accuracy edit be lifted in a production patch.

CLEC Contact Information: Liz Balvin, Carrier Management, 303-217-7305, Liz.Balvin@wcom.com

Qwest's recommended work around procedures will not support the flow through capabilities necessary for WCom's commercial volumes of UNE-P migrations.

Description Of Change

A recent FCC order (Docket FC00-429) requires that telephone numbers be administered at the rate center level rather than the switch level. As telephone numbers are exhausted in a switch, providers will be required to internally port numbers from another switch in the same rate center. This process will affect certain

Pre-Order functions (e.g., feature/service availability); if a TN has been ported from its native switch to another switch, Pre-Order functions will need to use WTN, rather than LSO or NPA/NXX, as the inquiry key to ensure accurate information is returned. Therefore, a method is needed in both CSI and Pre-Order to inform customers that a TN has been internally ported.

Add an new indicator field and data of PPT to CSI and Pre-Order that will notify a customer that a TN has been internally ported.

This field may also be used for numbers that have been pooled.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that this CR was deployed with 16.0. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that she would like to research this CR further. Chris Terrell/AT&T asked what would be returned if we have a date of today. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that you would receive a view of new information including pending orders. Chris Terrell/AT&T asked how the date works in the new field query. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that the date is used to determine what the CSR will look like on that date. Kim Isaacs/Eschelon stated that you would see on the pending order tab and that the merged indicator is no. Chris Terrell/AT&T asked if there was a pending order, would you get a virtual view and will you always see the merged indicator. John Gallegos/Qwest said yes. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon (Comments received from Eschelon 11/29/04) expressed concerns that there were so many questions and recommended that Qwest review the documentation to determine if the above processes are clearly documented.

Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed this CR. Connie stated that Phase 1 of the Virtual CSR was for completed orders and that Virtual CSR Phase 2 will enhance LSR processing using pending orders or in-flight orders. Connie cited an example of 2 out of 3 orders being issued and then a 3rd order is issued. Connie said that the 3rd order will be revised to include orders 1 & 2. Connie stated that if a due date changes on order 1, then we will have to change orders 2 and 3. Connie stated that this request will reduce errors and the CSR will be cleaner. The status of this CR will change to Pending Prioritization.

12/11/03 Clarification Meeting

Description Of Change

To allow SUPP type 3 activities to go full Flow through for products that are already Flow through eligible.

Expected Deliverable:

SUPP type 3 LSRs for products that are currently flow-through eligible will be added as a scenario for Flow Through if there has been no prior order issuance from previous versions on the PON being supplemented. All exclusions currently listed in the Ordering PCAT on the Qwest web site for those products will remain in affect as well. In other words, if no previous orders were issued on earlier versions of the LSR, then Qwest will treat the Supp Type 3 as a brand new LSR and attempt flow-through.

As noted in CMPR disposition notification number CMPR.10.27.04.F.02223.ExceptRequestVoteResults, Qwest originally scheduled implementation of QWEST SCR121003-01EX on December 18, 2004. Qwest subsequently published notification number SYST.12.01.04.F.02359.SCR121003-01EXChgImpDt advising of a new implementation date of December 11, 2004.

Qwest is using the Systems notification path to advise of a change in implementation date noted in SYST.12.01.04.F.02359.SCR121003-01EXChgImpDt. The effective date is December 18, 2004.

SCR121003-01EX is summarized as: SUPP type 3 LSRs for products that are currently flow-through eligible will be added as a scenario for Flow Through if there has been no prior order issuance from previous versions on the PON being supplemented. All exclusions currently listed in the Ordering PCAT on the Qwest web site for those products will remain in effect as well.

- November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR will deploy on 12/8/04. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the IMA 17.0 Packaging Status is located in Attachment M. Jill also said that the Release date for 17.0 was changed from April 25, 2005 to April 11, 2005. Liz Balvin/Covad stated that the LOE was reduced for this release and asked if Qwest would provide capacity in December of 2004. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would provide the capacity for 2005 in December of 2004. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if the 1400 to 1600 hours for SCR121003-01EX Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity scheduled in December were available. Liz said the hours should be available for 17.0 Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we were utilizing those hours this year. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that here understanding was that the hours were available for 17.0. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that we don’t know what the hours are for 2005 yet. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the available resources stayed at 20,000 hours for the year. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the 20,000 hours is an estimate for 17.0. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said that Qwest used to package to mid-range and that for 17.0 Qwest packaged at the high range. Susie Bliss/Qwest said that this is due to the uncertainty. Comment received from Eschelon 11/29/04 – and Qwest does not know the hours for 2005 right now. Liz Balvin/Covad asked why the IMA 17.0 production date was moved. John Gallegos/Qwest said that Qwest needed to sync up with other systems and for other technical reasons. John Berard/Covad asked if the date was moved because of the hours. John Gallegos/Qwest said no, it was not because of the hours. There were no questions or comments.

-- October 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this attachment is for an exception vote and noted that Eschelon requested information prior to the vote. Jill stated that this CR is a benefit to Qwest and for the CLECs. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that this CR is only for flow through. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that it will allow for more flow through and stated that there is a 40 - 45% incidence to attempt flow through. She further explained that it would allow LSRs that were rejected or had non-fatal errs that were re-submitted as a supplement type 3 to attempt flow-through if no service orders were attached. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if that was the percentage of original orders that should have flowed through. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the CR would be for any LSR, for the products that are currently flow through eligible. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if the LOE hours would then allow more in the 17.0 Release. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that we are currently funded through 2004 and noted that we have the opportunity to use these hours to implement early, but it is still 17.0 hours for 2004 funding. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if hours were being taken out of 17.0. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that the CR is out of 2004 hours for 17.0. Susie stated that there would be a new set of hours for 2005. Liz Balvin/Covad asked if Qwest was working down the list to accommodate another 1600 hours. Susie Bliss/Qwest stated that Qwest is currently working on funding for 2005. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked if the 1600 hours would not be taken out in 2005. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest is still determining the funding for 2005 and noted that it would not be known if another CR would make 17.0, until December. [Comment Received from Eschelon: Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon said then the hours in 17.0 that were slotted for this CR are now back in the 17.0 release. Qwest said yes. This is a rare case where the hours are available in the 2004 budget and not 2005.] Liz Balvin/Covad asked if this CR is helping Qwest. [Comment Received from Covad: Covad stated the CR will help Qwest because all supp 3 fall to manual handling.] Jill Martain/Qwest stated that it will help the CLECs as well. Jill Martain/Qwest turned the vote over to Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote will be conducted to determine if the CR could be implemented this on December. Peggy stated that the quorum of 6 was achieved. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed what the vote of ‘Yes’ and the vote of ‘No’ would indicate. “A vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate a preference that Qwest implement SCR121003-01EX on December 18, 2004, prior to the implementation of the next IMA major release, IMA 17.0, for which it is currently prioritized.” “A vote of ‘No’ will indicate a preference that Qwest not implement SCR121003-01EX on December 18, 2004, prior to the implementation of the next IMA major release, IMA 17.0, for which it is currently prioritized.” Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if there were any question regarding the vote. There were no questions brought forward. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest conducted the vote, the vote results are: Comcast voted Yes, via email McLeodUSA voted Yes, via email Qwest voted Yes, via email RockyNet voted Yes, via email Covad voted Yes Eschelon voted Yes AT&T voted Yes MCI voted Yes Time Warner voted Yes VCI voted Yes Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Doug Andreen/Qwest if there were any additional emailed votes. There were none. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote was unanimous and the Exception CR was granted by a vote of 10 ‘Yes’ votes, 0 ‘No’ votes, and 0 ‘Abstain’ votes. Peggy stated that this CR would be implemented on December 18th. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote disposition notice would be sent no later than close of business on October 27th.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. Jill Martain/Qwest reviewed the CR and stated that this was a high priority for Qwest.

- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the Revised 16.0 Prioritization List is provided due to the Late Adder CR, which was ranked at number 14. There were no questions or comments.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest would like SCR121003-01 (Mechanization for SUPP Type 3 Activity) to be processed as a late adder to the IMA 16.0 release. Peggy stated that the vote to include this CR as a late adder would be conducted in this meeting. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest to review the CR description again and to identify the importance of this candidate. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR was to allow SUPP type 3 activities to go full Flow through for products that are already Flow Through eligible. Jill stated that this functionality will result in more Flow through LSRs and will enable LSRs to process more quickly. Peggy Esquibel/Qwest stated that we achieved quorum with 5 CLECs and that we received two votes via e-mail. Peggy Esquibel/Qwest reviewed that a vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate that SCR0121003-01 is to be included in the IMA 16.0 Prioritization, utilizing the Late Adder Process. Peggy stated that a vote of ‘No’ will indicate that SCR121003-01 will not be included in the IMA 16.0 Prioritization as a Late Adder request. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if there were any questions regarding the Yes or No vote. There were no questions Peggy Esquibel-Reed asked if any more votes were received via e-mail and Doug Andreen/Qwest stated that none had been received. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked for everyone’s vote. MCI voted yes, via Email Qwest voted yes, via Email Eschelon voted yes US Link voted yes Allegiance voted yes AT&T voted yes Comcast voted yes Vartec voted yes Covad voted yes Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the vote was unanimous with 9 ‘Yes’ votes, 0 ‘No’ votes, 0 ‘Abstain’ votes. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the disposition notification will be sent by Monday, February 23, 2004 and that the Initial Prioritization List will be sent no later than Tuesday, February 24, 2004. John Berard/Covad asked when the ballot needed to be returned. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the CLECs will need to return the ballot no later than COB, Friday, February 27, 2004. There were no other questions or comments

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that mechanization already exists for Supp 1 & 2. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is a result of evaluating what was not flowing through. Connie stated that mechanizing Supp 3 would create the service order. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked if this would remove the requirement of putting ‘would be nice’ in remarks. Connie Winston/Qwest responded yes, in specific cases. There were no additional questions or comments.

- CLARIFICATION MEETING - December 19, 2003 ATTENDEES: Ellen McArthur-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest REVIEWED CR DESCRIPTION: Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest reviewed the CR description: To allow SUPP type 3 activities to go full Flow through for products that are already Flow through eligible. Expected Deliverable is SUPP type 3 LSRs for products that are currently flow-through eligible will be added as a scenario for Flow Through if there has been no prior order issuance from previous versions on the PON being supplemented. All exclusions currently listed in the Ordering PCAT on the Qwest web site for those products will remain in affect as well. In other words, if no previous orders were issued on earlier versions of the LSR, then Qwest will treat the Supp Type 3 as a brand new LSR and attempt flow-through. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest asked Ellen McArthur (Qwest) if there was additional information to share. There was none. Ellen McArthur-Qwest asked if this CR was eligible for the IMA 16.0 prioritization. Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest stated that the cutoff for inclusion in the 16.0 prioritization had passed and stated that the Late Adder Process would need to be invoked if the CR needed to be included in that ranking. Peggy explainind the Late Adder Process; 16.0 will be prioritized right after the January Systens CMP Meeting,the Late Adder process would need to be requested, this CR would then be an exception and a vote would be conducted on whether to be include as a Late Adder into the 16.0 prioritization CR. The vote would be taked at the February Systems CMP Meeting and if votes unanimously to include it in the ranking, the ranking would take place right after that February meeting. Ellen McArthur-Qwest stated that she would probably invoke the Late Adder Process. There were no additional questions or comments.

January 19, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: John Berard/Covad stated that CR could be closed.

December 15, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that a question was received asking if orders have gone successfully thru flow thru. Jill stated that they have in test and noted that there have been no live orders as of yet. (Changes to meeting minutes from Covad 12/28/04) Liz Balvin/Covad asked that whether the CR should be deferred until actual production orders have gone been processed successfully. Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest is okay to close the CR and if problems occur, a trouble ticket can be opened. Jill stated that the CR could also remain in CLEC Test. Liz Balvin/Covad asked that the CR remain in CLEC Test.

- December 6, 2004 Email Received from Liz Balvin, Covad: Peggy, Covad is not able to test this functionality because it does not yet submit number port orders. Can Qwest advise as to whether any orders that meet this criteria have been met and successfully flowed through? Thanks, Liz Balvin Covad Communications

- November 29, 2004 Email Sent to Liz Balvin, Covad: Hi Liz, This email is a follow-up to the November Systems CMP Meeting discussion regarding the Qwest originated CMP CR of SCR120303-01 Conversions with Number Portability with Flow Through. At the November CMP Meeting you stated that Covad just migrated to 16.0 and would like to close the CR offline. Have you had the opportunity to determine if this CR can be closed? I am not aware of any problems associated to this deployment. Please let me know if Covad is ready for the CR to close. I appreciate your time. Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM

November 17, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/Covad said that this CR handles migration flow through and that they just migrated this weekend. Liz said that she will advise if this CR can be closed offline.

October 20, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was deployed with the IMA 16.0 Release and will remain in CLEC Test for validation. Liz Balvin/Covad stated that she would also check with John Berard to see if there are issues for this CR.

-- September 16, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that this CR will deploy prior to the next monthly CMP Meeting.

1. Introductions Kyle Kirves began the meeting by taking attendance and announcing the meeting purpose. Kyle handed out agendas and copies of the candidate overview document that were distributed with the notification announcing the walkthrough (copies attached). Kyle explained that the walkthrough would cover the candidates, the candidate impacts to the associated documentation, and the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation overview.

2. Reviews SCR 120303-01 Line and Loop Splitting Conversions with Number Portability with FTS Crystal Soderlund reviewed the information provided in the candidate overview document circulated with the meeting agenda and the meeting notification announcement. Kyle opened the floor to Questions. There were no questions. Kyle asked about PCAT updates. Vicki Dryden stated that the PCATs would include updates to products, adding options for line splitting and unbundled split. The PCATs will also add details around POTS split, star, etc. Kyle asked about GUI documentation updates. Dave Schleicher stated that the GUI document update would include notations in the release notes summarizing the changes made by the CR. There will be corresponding changes to the user guide for order and pre-order (screen captures, etc.) as necessary. There will be updates to the forms affected by implementation/rollout of the candidate.

3. IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation Review Kyle conducted the review of the IMA EDI Disclosure Documentation. The commentary and questions around this segment are captured in a separate document with the Qwest responses to CLEC comments submitted through the CMP site for the convenience of having it in one spot. Please refer to Systems Notification number SYST.09.03.04.F.02009.IMAEDI16.0FinalTech Specs for details on the location of that document.

- July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that the 16.0 Commitment List is included, in Attachment M of the July Systems CMP Distribution Package. There were no comments or questions.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that this CR was a high priority for Qwest. John Berard/Covad stated that this CR was a high priority for Covad. Liz Balvin/MCI asked to confirm that with the 13.0 and 15.0 efforts, Qwest is accommodating all other activity types for the submission of a single LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this Qwest CR would then cover the activities of V and Z. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes. John Berard/Covad stated that the migration document (PCAT) does not include Line Sharing with Loop Splitting. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she has made those changes and noted that the changes would be out the following week. John Berard/Covad asked to confirm that if this CR were voted into 16.0, all migration scenarios would be covered. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes. John Berard/Covad stated that the document that Qwest has created is a great document. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that this CR would allow combining LSR types; a new header would be developed in IMA.

December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR was the CR that Liz Balvin (MCI) was referring to, in conjunction with her MCI CR of SCR120303-02. This CR is currently in Evaluation status.

-- CLARIFICATION MEETING - December 10, 2003 SCR120303-02 Allow single LSR to convert Analog Loop to NonLoaded (2 or 4 wire) or ADSL UBL (Unbundled loop) with Loop Splitting / Submitted by MCI SCR120303-01 Line and Loop Splitting Conversions with Number Portability with Flow Through / Submitted by Qwest

ATTENDEES: Liz Balvin/MCI, Chad Warner/MCI, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Conrad Evans/Qwest, Crystal Soderlund/Qwest, Robert Hercher/Qwest, Sandy Heimann/Qwest, Jim Recker/Qwest, Heidi Moreland

PURPOSE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the call was for clarification of 2 CMP CRs and to determine if Qwest’s SCR120303-01 would meet MCIs SCR120303-02 request.

REVIEW CR DESCRIPTION: SCR120303-02 Allow single LSR to convert Analog Loop to NonLoaded (2 or 4 wire) or ADSL UBL (Unbundled loop) with Loop Splitting Qwest currently requires CLECs to submit two LSRs to provision an Unbundled Loop with Loop Splitting when the existing loop is analog. MCI requests Qwest provide the ability to submit a single LSR to convert an Analog Loop to Non-Loaded (2 or 4 wire) or ADSL qualified UBL and add Loop Splitting. Expected Deliverable is that CLECs accomplish converting end user’s with analog loops to unbundled loop with loop splitting on a single LSR.

SCR120303-01 Line and Loop Splitting Conversions with Number Portability with Flow Through requesting to allow Conversion activity (ACT = V, or Z) for Line and Loop Splitting Conversions with Number Portability on 1 LSR and allow system flow through. Expected Deliverable is IMA 16.0.

CONFIRMED INTERFACE: IMA Common for both CRs

CONFIRMED PRODUCTS: SCR120303-02 (MCIs): UNE SCR120303-01 (Qwests): Line Splitting, Loop Splitting

ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked Liz/MCI and Crystal/Qwest if they had additional information to provide regarding their requests. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she needs to be sure what Qwest views as an analog line. Liz stated that MCI sees UNE-P provisioned services as analog and UBL as analog. Liz stated that is regardless of what products are being converted from. Liz stated that she needs to be able to convert to UBL with Loop Splitting. Chad Warner/MCI stated that in the Loop Splitting PCAT it states that if the loop is analog, they need to convert to 2 or 4 wire or to ADSL and would need to add loop splitting. Chad stated that another issue is converting analog loop, UNE-P POTS (2 wire analog) needs to be covered. Chad stated that UNE-P POTS to Loop Splitting needs to be 1 LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she issued the Qwest CR because Qwest agreed to allow DSL if there is a quealified loop. Crystal stated that her CR is for the scenario of UNE-P to Loop Splitting via 1 LSR. Crystal noted would be able to do for only the ACTs of V or Z, and only if is a DSL qualified loop. Crystal stated that if not a qualified loop, would need to first be qualified via the conditioning process. Liz Balvin/MCI asked to clarify that DSL needs to be qualified. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the facility would be reused because would know it to be qualified. Liz Balvin/MCI asked for an order for UBL with loop splitting and is existing UNE-P POTS with line splitting, the facilities would be used. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that that scenario would be more complex and stated that it would be covered in the training. Crystal noted that it would be considered a new product and would be covered in the training. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that this would enable UBL information on the loop service form and the adding of POTS splitter on 1 LSR. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she thinks we are on the same page and stated that it looks to be a new way to place an order. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that IMA currently does not allow to add a new form. Crystal stated that training would cover this. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is a new product with pricing and Interconnection Agreement amendments.. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded no. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is just to be able to link forms in IMA. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes and stated that if have an UBL contract and a loop splitting contract, would be submitted as UBL split. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if she would need to certify for that. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she would check into that and have that information as part of the training. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if she looks at these 2 CRs, the difference is the Qwest CR is for Line & Loop Splitting and MCIs is for all UNEs. Liz asked that if UNE-P POTS is just that, with no DSL, the UNE could alresdy be conditioned. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded as long as the DSL is qualified, they can do that. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that if add UNE to the Qwest CR, MCI’s need would be met. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that she could revise her CR to include conversion of LX- - to LX-N. Crystal noted that PCAT changes would also need to be made. Crystal stated that with 16.0, if you take an existing analog loop and it is DSL capable, you would be able to submit via 1-LSR. Crystal stated that if is not DSL capable, the CLEC would first need to make it DSL capable. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this is done via the Loop Qual query. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated yes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked that if she wants to determine prior to order submission, how would she know if 2/4 wire loaded or if loop qualified versus DSL qualified. Chad Warner/MCI stated that the Raw Loop Data Tool gives the loop makeup but he would not know if 2 or 4 wire. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that it does not matter if 2 or 4 wir. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she believes the MCI CR to be different than the Qwest CR. Liz stated that it would be hard for the CLECs to identify if 2 or 4 wire. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they can now submit UNE-P POTS on a single LSR but that the interval changes. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the voice and data are provisioned to be the same but that the voice can be held-up. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the analog loop definition makes her CR different than the Qwest CR. Liz stated that she is not sure if she is comfortable on how the CLECs would identify ahead of time if is DSL qualified. Jim Recker/Qwest stated that Qwest provides the loop make-up to the CLECs. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the tool states if is qualified. Jim Recker/Qwest stated that the tool states why is not qualified. Chad Warner/MCI asked if UNE-P with Loop Splitting would be documented. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated yes, when talking conversion activities. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that the reason that DSL needs to be qualified is due to holding the voice in order to get data in. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that wants to make sure that her CR isn’t withdrawn if these CRs are different. Liz agreed that Line Splitting on UNE-P POTS is covered. Liz stated that she needs to determine if UBL is covered. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if is not qualified, the CLEC would need to submit an LSR to qualify it. Liz Balvin/MCI asked Chad Warner/MCI if he would prefer to wait until documentation comes out before they withdraw their MCI CR. Chad Warner/MCI stated that did not know what the process was. Chad asked that for UNE-P to UNE-P with Line Splitting, the loop needs to be conditioned first with no extra charge and is a 1 LSR process. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded, correct, and noted that the voice would be in so it would not be held up. Chad Warner/MCI asked to clarify that if new or conversion, if existing UNE-P and wants to convert to loop splitting, they first need to make sure is conditioned/qualified and if it is, is 1 LSR. If not, is 2 LSRs. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if is not qualified, Qwest would jeop it back due to DSL not being qualified and 2 LSRs would be needed. Chad Warner/MCI asked if UNE-P and adding Line Splitting would be 1 LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded yes because the voice is already in. Chad Warner/MCI asked if UNE-P to Loop Splitting. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if DSL qualified it would be 1 LSR. If not qualified, it would need to be qualified 1st, then Loop Splitting could be added. Heidi Moreland/Qwest stated that the origination of the voice would change: for UNE-P, the voice would be from the Qwest switch. UNE-P with Line Splitting is just adding data. For Loop Splitting, the CLEC provides voice from the CLEC switch, not a Qwest switch. Chad Warner/MCI stated that he now understood. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if have conversion at the same time, a UNE-P POTS and Line Splitting, it would be 1 LSR. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that conversion of UNE-P POTS and adding Line Splitting is 1 LSR if DSL is qualified. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if it mattered if line or loop splitting, either has to be qualified. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest stated that if have UNE-P to UNE-P with line splitting, yes. If no UNE-P & need UNE-P with Line Splitting, needs to be DSL qualified. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it sounds like Qwest would deny her CR any way due to the conditioning process. Crystal Soderlund/Qwest responded probably. There were no additional questions. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she needed to clarify previous statements that the Qwest CR changes would take place in 16.0. Peggy stated that the timeframe for the changes is dependant on the 16.0 prioritization outcome and if the candidate gets ranked high eough to move forward. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this was an SCRP CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest responded no, not at this time. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would discuss these CRs with her internal team and advise if MCI would withdraw SCR120303-02. There were no additional comments or questions. ACTION PLAN: Both CRs are scheduled for presentation at the December Systems CMP Meeting, by the CR originators.

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that this CR is requesting that the addition of Selective Call Waiting be available to the CEMR users. Lynn stated that a link would be added which will allow the user to choose from a list of possible problems with the product. She noted that retail is providing this enhancement to their systems, and Qwest is very interested in providing this enhancement to their wholesale customers as well. She noted that the LOE for this change was quite small for CEMR, so the team is able to get it into a December Release. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if Selective Call Waiting was specific to the call waiting feature only. Cathy Garcia/Qwest stated that a generic trouble report would be specific to that call waiting feature. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if we were having a lot of trouble with this feature. Cathy Garcia/Qwest said no that it is a new product that was just introduced. She noted that this is just providing the functionality to report on the new product in CEMR Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest issued an exception CR requesting to reduce the overall timeline for a change to the CEMR GUI from 28 calendar days to 25 calendar days to be implemented December 15, 2003.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest reviewed this CR. Lynn stated that this CR is requesting two items in CEMR; 1) to allow trouble reports to be taken prior to noon on the same day service due date for applicable Non-Dispatchable Features and Enhanced Services and; 2) to allow the customer to select a four hour “appointment” for trouble reports that require dispatch. Lynn stated that the Repair Call Expert (RCE) is a backend system that needs to make changes that we need to bring forward. She noted that retail is providing this enhancement to their systems, and Qwest is very interested in providing this enhancement to their wholesale customers as well. She noted that the LOE for this change was quite small for CEMR, so the team is able to get it into a December Release. Qwest has submitted an exception CR because of CMP timelines associated with the release notification. The exception is requesting to reduce the overall timeline for a change to the CEMR GUI from 28 calendar days to 25 calendar days to be implemented December 15, 2003. The vote will be held on November 24, 2003.Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon asked since we were doing this CEMR release could we get AT&T’s CR (Vendor Meet) in this release. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that she did not think so but would take an action item to research further. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that the LOE for this request is 50 to 100 hours. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that we are also trying to implement Eschelon’s 10-page limitation CR in this Release because it is has a small LOE. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if retail already has the ‘trouble report prior to noon’ implemented. Cathy Garcia/Qwest said that retail would implement in conjunction with wholesale.

11/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting

Lynn Notarianni/Qwest reviewed this CR. Lynn stated that this CR is requesting similar functionality as the previous CR but for MEDIAAC; 1) to allow trouble reports to be taken prior to noon on the same day service due date for applicable Non-Dispatchable Features and Enhanced Services and; 2) to allow the customer to select a four hour “appointment” for trouble reports that require dispatch. Lynn noted that the targeted implementation date for the MEDIACC CR was February 1, 2004. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if the MEDIAAC CR could be implemented with the same timeline. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there is a difference in the MEDIAAC timeline and that they need a 73-day notification because of JIA changes. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if there was going to be an Exception on the MEDIAAC CR to deploy in December. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest said that an exception CR would need to be issued for a December deployment of MEDIACC as it would require CLECs to change their code, but she would take an action item to determine if we can deploy in December.

Description Of Change

The Restore Type field in IMA on the LSR form consists of two values: S Restore from Seasonal Suspend and D Restore from Deny. When a CLEC submits a Restore against an account currently in a suspended status and incorrectly select the value of D to restore from deny, an edit will prompt them to select the S value to restore from seasonal suspend. When a CLEC submits a Restore against an account currently in a deny status and incorrectly select the value of S to restore from seasonal suspend, an edit will prompt them to select the D value to restore from deny. This edit will enable the CLEC to submit their LSR correctly rather than receiving a reject.

Expected Deliverable

An upfront edit to prevent the misuse of the Restore Type field.

Review description of change The Restore Type field in IMA on the LSR form consists of two values: S Restore from Seasonal Suspend and D Restore from Deny. When a CLEC submits a Restore against an account currently in a suspended status and incorrectly select the value of D to restore from deny, an edit will prompt them to select the S value to restore from seasonal suspend. When a CLEC submits a Restore against an account currently in a deny status and incorrectly select the value of S to restore from seasonal suspend, an edit will prompt them to select the D value to restore from deny. This edit will enable the CLEC to submit their LSR correctly rather than receiving a reject.

John Gallegos/Qwest asked when Qwest wanted the validation done and Qiana Davis/Qwest said that the validation could be done after the LSR has been submitted. Curt Anderson/Qwest asked what happens in these situations today. Qiana Davis/Qwest stated that the order errors out and has to be manually handled.

Expected Deliverable An upfront edit to prevent the misuse of the Restore Type field.

September 28, 2004 Email Sent to Mark Mattson, SBC: Hello Mr. Mattson, This email is in regard to a CMP CR that was submitted by SBC and deployed by Qwest on August 9, 2004. An email was sent to the CR originator; see email below, asking for approval to close the CR. To date, no response has been received from SBC. I am not sure if Mr. Van Winkle is still employed with your company or maybe is in a different position within SBC. The CLEC Community has indicated that there are no known issues related to the deployment of this change request and have no dissent to the closure of the CR. My questions for you are: Can you/will you approve the closure of the CMP CR noted in the email below. Advise me of any issues that are preventing closure of the CR, and any Trouble Ticket numbers of reported problems. Provide me with the SBC Qwest CMP Representative, if I need to go elsewhere, within your company, for closure approval. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

- September 22, 2004 Email Sent to Kevin Van Winkle at SBC: Subject: Closure Request for Rated EMI Records Kevin, This email is in regard to your submitted CMP CR SCR031303-01ES Rated EMI Records. This request was deployed on August 9, 2004 and we are not aware of any issues regarding the implementation. Qwest did ask the CLEC Community at the September Systems CMP Meeting if this CR was ok to close. The CLECs in attendance did not have issues with the CR closing. In light of that fact, is SBC ready to close this CR? If there are issues that are preventing the closure, please advise me of what they are and/or the Trouble Ticket numbers, for the reported problem(s), so we can investigate and resolve. I look forward to your response of agreeing to close or advising of open issues. Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM-Systems

SBC requests that Qwest send rated usage records so that SBC, on Qwest's behalf can bill the SBC customers accepting these alternativelybilled calls. SBC will accept these rated records via DUF.

History of Item: 3/13/03 - CR Submitted. 3/28/03 - Clarification call held. October CMP - LOE provided and implementation date of 2/9/04 provided. November CMP - Qwest states that this CR will not meet the 2004 implementation date. Qwest is reviewing the CR. January 2004 - MCI asks whether this CR has a targeted implmentation date. Qwest states it has not.

Reason for Escalation / Dispute: This change request has been lingering for over a year, with no implementation date provided. AT&T has a very strong interest in this change request and would like to have it implemented as soon as possible. Qwest has not provided any reason why this change request cannot be implemented.

Business Need and Impact: AT&T needs to have unrated DUF records.

Desired CLEC Resolution: Qwest to provide an implementation date as soon as possible.

- March 18, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Carla Pardee/AT&T stated that AT&T has interest in this CR and AT&T would like to see movement.

February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy noted that the status of this CR is that it is being reviewed at the Qwest CEO level.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin/MCI asked if this CR is not yet scheduled. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that is correct. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI view’s these as compliance issues. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she would relay her concern.

November 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Judy Schultz/Qwest stated Qwest is reviewing all of the CRs that have targeted release dates in 2004. At this point, it looks like there are 2 where we will not be able to meet the targeted implementation date. Those are still under review, so we will let you know when more information becomes available about the status of those CRs. Those CRs are SCR031303-01 (Rated EMI Records) and SCR042902-01 (Use CLEC internal repair ticket number on CLEC bill to identify maintenance & repair charges). Judy stated that if anything changes with any of the other CRs we would let you know. Judy noted that Qwest would continue to accept and process CRs and that going forward, our focus will be to maintain parity, to maintain and continue to enhance our systems. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments or questions brought forward.

October 16, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that the revised Level of Effort is 1900 to 3800 hours and noted that the targeted implementation date is February 9, 2004. There were no comments or questions. This action item was closed.

- July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that this has been open for a while so the CLECs can determine if there were negative impacts to your companies. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that MCI was okay with this request and that this CR can move forward. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that Eschelon agrees with MCI. Stephanie Prull/McLeod also agreed that this CR could move forward. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest would look to schedule this CR. There were no additional questions or comments. This Action Item is Closed.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest asked the CLECs to go back and look at this internally to make sure of the impacts. Jennifer Arnold/USLink stated that she is still waiting for feedback from her team. Kathy Stichter/Eschelon stated that she does have a comment but will wait until next month to bring it forward. This action item will remain open.

May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Qwest does not currently rate alternately billed calls. Lynn stated that Qwest would go from a field that is unrated to a rated field. Lynn noted that it is currently the category 10 record. Lynn noted that when this is implemented it will be a category 1 record. Lynn noted that this might impact a CLEC, depending on how the CLEC takes the info and sorts through it. Lynn asked the CLECs to take this information back to their teams and let Qwest know what, if any, concerns you have about this change. This action item will remain open pending CLEC feedback.

- April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Debbie Soriano/SBC reviewed the CR description. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that the Level of Effort for this CR is 900 to 1000 hours and noted that it is in the scheduling process. Debbie Soriano/SBC asked for clarification of Lynn’s (Notarianni) statement. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest explained that the clarification meeting was held and that the Qwest billing group estimated the number of hours. Lynn stated that this is being looked at to see when the work can be scheduled for implementation. Lynn then stated that we may not have that date at the May CMP Meeting but noted that the targeted implementation date would be provided when it is determined. Debbie Soriano/SBC said thank you.

March 28, 2003 email from Debbie Soriano (SBC) to LaShon Vincent(Qwest) La Shon, I attended a conference call with several Qwest folks (including Gin) this morning. We are still trying to find a system fix that allows SBCT to receive all alternately billed calls in a rated manner. SBCT's 1st choice has always been that Qwest send these calls via CMDS. However, Qwest has proposed to send the rated calls (without a discount) via DUF, as well as place call details (with a discount) on SBCT's resale bills. SBCT is attempting to confirm that Qwest's proposal will not generate internal system changes and/or expenses. I agreed to submit a revised CR to Qwest later today (or once this information has been confirmed). During the call, there was also discussion about the OCN blocking at the inmate facilities. On March 11, 2003, I provided the OCN info you requested. What is the current status on our OCN block request? Debbi Soriano SBC Telecom Inc Associate Director Carrier Management

-- Clarification Meeting - March 28, 2003 Attendees: Debbie Soriano/SBC, Kevin Van Winkle/SBC, Joyce Bertelsman/SBC, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, Carl Sear/Qwest, Wendy Thurnau/Qwest, Kerri Waldner/Qwest, Beth Foster/Qwest, Fred Howard/Qwest, Gin Sakal/Qwest, Vaughn Nelsen/Qwest Reviewed Requested Description of Change: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the CR description is in the CR states: SBCT is receiving unrated EMI records for coin/inmate calls (10-01-31 records with Indicator 01=1 and Indicator16=2). The billing telephone numbers are SBCT's customers. But since SBCT does not offer an "inmate" type service to its customers, we verified the originating telephone numbers for these records and found these originating numbers not to be SBCT's customers. Given the above, we believe that Qwest should send us rated usage records so that we can, on Qwest's behalf , bill the SBCT customer that apparently accepted the call. In other words, we should receive rated records from Qwest via the standard incollect/outcollect process that is handled through CMDS. Qwest was also billing these calls on our paper bills (at a resale discount), but this is incorrect, these calls are not subject to a resale discount, since the calls were made not on a resale or facilities basis. Qwest did state that the discounted rates should not have been applied (which SBCT agrees with). We dispute Qwest billings to SBCT of these calls. Qwest is the only ILEC in that their daily usage file doesn't contain rated records, and in addition, Qwest has told SBCT that we should use the calls reported on the summary bill and bill SBCT's customer at SBCT's rates. We again explained that we could not rate the call, since the charges are Qwest's. We noted that we are not able to use the summary bill that Qwest talked about and indicated that Industry practice would be for Qwest to send rated EMI records. Confirmed Impacted Interface: Wholesale Billing Confirmed Impacted Products: Switched DISCUSSION: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that she had received an email from the SBC Service Manager stating that SBC would like to accept Qwest's offer to receive the calls rated via the DUF File and that this CR was submitted asking for CMDS. Peggy asked SBC if their request is via CMDS or the DUF. Debbie Soriano/SBC stated that they are currently getting unrated collect calls from prisons in Washington. Debbie stated that the calls are put on the resale paper bills and cannot transfer to the end user who has accepting the calls. Debbie stated that Qwest had agreed to adjust the calls. Debbie stated that SBC is the local provider not the toll provider and does not want to be a reseller of Qwest toll. Debbie noted that LaShon Vincent (Qwest) & Gin Sakal (Qwest) are working with Tnetics to do blocking and that Ken Beck (Qwest) had agreed to adjust charges thru October 15th, then the adjustments would stop. Debbie stated that Qwest had agreed to provide rated calls in rated form. Debbie stated that SBC wants Qwest to make system changes unless the blocking takes place. Joyce Berterlsman/SBC stated that the industry standard comes thru CMDS. Carl Sear/Qwest stated that the previous request (SCR112101-1) was for any alternately billed messages and that they would appear on the bill fully rated with no discount. Carl stated that this request would result in the DUF containing full rates (no discount) and the Wholeale bill containing discounted rates. Carl stated that there would be a mismatch. Kerri Waldner/Qwest asked to confirm that SBC is accepting via the DUF. Deb Soriano/SBC stated yes. Joyce Bertelsman/SBC stated that needs vis CMDS. Deb Soriano/SBC stated that the DUF is acceptable and that they just did a copy and paste from the previous CR. Debbie stated that Margie Ammon (SBC) had indicated that the DUF would not be a problem. Debbie stated that SBC will discuss internally and advise of their position. Wendy Thurnau/Qwest asked if this request is an interim or long term solution due to the toll block at the OCN level. Debbie Soriano/SBC stated that this request is a going forward/long term solution request. There were no other questions regarding the CR. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Qwest's response is pending the SBC decision and asked Debbie to send an email with their decision and to submit the CR revision. Debbie Soriano/SBC agreed to advise and send the revision. Action Plan: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that SBC is due to present their CR to the CLEC Community at the April 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting. The call was concluded.

Carla Pardee AT&T LSAM Manager

Dear Ms. Pardee:

This letter is in response to your March 22, 2004 escalation # SCR031303-01-E24. In this escalation AT&T is requesting an implementation date for the CR, which is titled Rated EMI Records, to be communicated as soon as possible.

Qwest understands that AT&T has a strong interest in this change request relative to rated DUF records and has been working to get funding for this work approved. Qwest has now approved the work associated with SCR031303-01 to be completed. Qwest is working to determine potential implementation timeframes. Specifically, with regards to SCR031303-01, Qwest is addressing significant back-end system changes associated with this CR to determine the most efficient ways to implement the required changes.

Qwest will commit to an implementation date as soon as the final solution can be determined and the necessary resources mobilized. Qwest will communicate the implementation dates as soon as they are finalized. Sincerely, Connie Winston Director, Qwest Information Technologies

-- DRAFT RESPONSE April 4, 2003

RE: SCR031303-01 Rated EMI Records

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request SCR031303-01. Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting held on March 28, 2003 , Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 900 to 1000 hours for this Wholesale Billing Interface Change Request.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest’s further evaluation of this Change Request. Upon obtaining consensus from CMP participants as to the appropriate direction for Qwest to take on this Change Request, Qwest will review release schedules and development timetables in an effort to evaluate options for potential scheduling of Change Request SCR031303-01.

Sincerely, Qwest

July 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is in Pending Withdrawal at the request of Talk America. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked if anyone wanted to take over sponsorship. There was no dissent to the withdrawal of this CR.

June 23, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Viju Hullur-Talk America, Janine Truhn-Talk America, Mark Crosby-Talk America, Randy Owen-Qwest, Peggy Esquibel Reed-Qwest Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) stated that the Clarification Call was held earlier this month for SCR052303-01 and that the CR was presented, by Talk America, at the June Systems CMP Meeting. Peggy stated that during the analysis of this CR, Qwest felt that a follow-up call was needed to further discuss this request with Talk America. Peggy stated that is the purpose of today’s conference call. Randy Owen (Qwest) asked to confirm that the issue, for Talk America, was overhead and the number of connections that need to be initiated and dropped. Viju Hullur (Talk America) responded yes, that is correct. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest’s concern is that 997’s are currently required and that both Qwest and some CLECs have coded to the 997’s. Randy stated that Qwest uses the 997’s to proactively monitor that transactions are being sent and received, the 997’s assist to trouble shoot problems before there is an impact to the CLECs. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that with pre-order, would know instantly if there were a problem. Janine stated that other ILEC’s do not require 997’s. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest has had 997’s since day 1 and stated that CLECs have coded to them, log them, and that Qwest proactively monitors the environment. Randy stated that Talk America is pursuing the use of Interactive Agent and this CR is because Talk America wants to turn-off the 997’s. Randy stated that the system is architechted for the 997’s as well as the systems of other partner’s. Randy stated that Issue 3 on Interactive Agent would help with Talk America’s issue. Randy stated that with that, Qwest is looking to see if Talk America wants to withdraw this CR (SCR052303-01). Janine Truhn (Talk America) asked if the 997’s were hard coded or if the come from the translator. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that they come from the translator. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that the 997’s can then be turned off or on. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that the issue is that if they are turned off, the ability for Qwest to provide production support is severely diminished. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that they would know instantly in pre-order, would know as soon as Qwest does. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest does not distinguish between order and pre-order in EDI transactions. Janine Truhn (Talk America) asked if Qwest uses 997’s instead of receipts. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that receipts are optional and that not all CLECs have coded to 997’s. Randy stated that Qwest built this in order to monitor transactions. Randy stated that Qwest does not believe that the 997’s can just be turned off because Qwest would then need to create another means to monitor the environment. Randy stated that in order to configure, per CLEC, it would be a big rearchitecture change at a significant cost, for the little overhead. Janine Truhn (Talk America) asked why it would be a significant cost if it is just a swag. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest still has an obligation to monitor transactions in some way. Randy stated that if 997’s are shut-off, Qwest needs another way to monitor. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that she is in agreement that 997’s are important in ordering, but not in pre-order. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Talk America may be proactive with problems, but not all trading partners may be as proactive and a problem could exist for several days before it is known. Randy stated that Qwest needs to maintain across the board, for all partners. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that she now understands that Qwest would need to allow all CLECs to be configured, not just configure for Talk America. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest does have an obligation to proactively maintain the environment. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that she now understands that point. Mark Crosby (Talk America) stated that Issue 3 will alleviate roadblocks with the 997’s. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that there is different information in a functional acknowledgement, at a transaction level, that is not in an IA receipt. Randy stated that it not only tells if the transaction was not acknowledged or if it failed, it specifies why it failed. Randy stated that the IA’s do not give the same detail. Mark Crosby (Talk America) stated that he agrees that a functional acknowledgement is needed. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest needs to convey what Qwest’s responsibility is down the road with Issue 3. Randy stated that if there is a need to pick-up the slack in the IA receipt’s, it could be pursued with the standards model. Mark Crosby (Talk America) stated that he does not want to drop one for the other, since going down the Issue 3 path Mark stated that if Talk America runs into performance issues, can then discuss them at that time. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that she agrees that this CR should be withdrawn and agrees to do so. Randy Owen (Qwest) stated that Qwest is glad they Talk America understands. Janine Truhn (Talk America) stated that if they run into issues, they would address them then. Peggy Esquibel-Reed (Qwest) stated that the CR will be placed in Pending Withdrawal and can be withdrawn at the July Systems CMP Meeting. The meeting was adjourned.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Viju Hullur/Talk America presented the CR and stated that there will be another clarification call on Monday. Viju noted that this request is for pre-order only. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this CR would remain in evaluation. There were no additional questions or comments.

- June 17, 2003 Email sent to Viju Hullur: Good Afternoon Viju -- In regard to your submitted Systems CR, SCR052303-01 (Request to Remove Mandatory Rule Where CLEC Has to Send 997 Back to Qwest After Receiving Pre-Ordering Responses), Qwest would like to have some additional discussion around this request. Would you please advise of your availability for a follow-up clarification call. We would also like to request that your IT Director, or the technical person who is really asking for this functionality, please participate in that follow-up call. We would just like to make sure that all the appropriate people participate. Please provide several options of dates and times. I will then schedule the meeting and send call-in information.

Viju Hullur/Talk America asked if Qwest had any plans of going to Corba. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that there are no plans and stated that Qwest had received 2-CRs in the past and that they were denied. Wendy stated that the CR’s were in the Archived Interactive Reports if Talk America would like to review them. Wendy Green/Qwest asked if this request was to be configurable, if Talk America wanted this to be optional by CLEC. Viju Hullur/Talk America stated that yes, that is the intent of this CR.

February 15, 2006 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain-Qwest stated that this CR is being withdrawn. There were no objections. This CR moves to Withdrawal status.

January 30, 2006 Email Received from Talk America: Yes.. Talk America agrees to withdraw - SCR052303-02 Viju

January 30, 2006 Email Sent to Talk America: Hello Viju, I am checking for the status of the request below. Will you please advise me if Talk America is in agreement to withdraw SCR052303-02, based on the information provided in the email below? Thank you, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

January 24, 2006 Email Sent to Talk America: Good Morning Viju - This email is in regard to the CMP CR that Talk America submitted, to Qwest, on May 23, 2003. The Systems CMP CR is SCR052303-02 Request to Implement Interactive Agent Issue 3. Due to the fact that Qwest will be implementing the IMA XML Interface on October 16, 2006, with the 20.0 Release, this CR seems to be no longer necessary. The IMA 20.0 Prioritization effort will occur in February 2006 and my question is if you would like to withdraw this CR due to the XML implementation with the 20.0 Release? The CR for XML is SCR121305-01 and can be viewed via the Systems Interactive Report located at http://www.qwest.com/wholesale/cmp/changerequest.html of the Qwest Wholesale web site. Please let me know by January 27, 2006 if this CR can be withdrawn. Thanks much, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest Wholesale CMP

-- July 20, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion for IMA 19.0 Prioritization CR Review: Jill Martain - Qwest stated that we provided a list of all candidates for IMA 19.0 in the June Meeting. Jill said that for this month’s prioritization, instead of reviewing all candidates, we would like to trial reviewing the top two candidates per CLEC. Liz Balvin-Covad asked why the Covad CR was not on this list. She said that she submitted it before the June 1st cutoff. Lynn Stecklein-Qwest said that the CR was a Product/Process CR not a System CR.

Below are the top two candidates per CLEC: Qwest #1 SCR061703-01 Create new fields of OCC and OCCNA on the LSR and DL Forms to identify old Service Prov #2 SCR052303-02 Request to Implement Interactive Agent Issue 3

AT&T #1 SCR051304-01 Request for Line Loss Notification to Notify CLECs if the Cust was lost to a Wireless Carrier #2 CR040204-01 PreOrder and Order Error Message When NPA NXX Does not Belong to Qwest

Liz Balvin-Covad asked if the Interactive Agent Issue 3 should be an Industry Change. Liz said that Qwest is not supporting Issue 2 anymore. Liz said that she was asking because the software won’t work going forward. Steph Prull-Eschelon said that if the Interactive Agent goes bad they would be in trouble as the vendor does not have to support it and EDI would be down until the new version was installed Jill Martain-Qwest stated that we currently don’t have it as an Industry Change and noted that the Industry Change CRs would still need to be voted upon and prioritized.

Covad #1 SCR102102-1X Dual Inventory of DSL Tie Cables in Tirks and Switch/FOMS #2 SCR052303-02 Request to Implement Interactive Agent Issue 3

Eschelon #1 Bulk PIC Change in IMA #2 SCR030405-01 Change to Reject RT Codes

Integra-Laurie Frederickson stated that she was not prepared for this exercise.

MCI #1 SCR103102-02 Eliminate PON Tracking Requirement for Reserved Title #2 SCR040204-01 PreOrder and Order Error Message When NPA Does not Belong to Qwest Communications

VCI #1 SCR040204-01 PreOrder and Order Error Message When NPA Does not Belong to Qwest Communication #2 SCR050305-01 Bulk PIC Change Process in IMA

Dianne Friend-Time Warner asked if all CLECs would be included in SCR031105-01 (Change of Usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders) Jill Martain-Qwest said yes.

Time Warner #1 SCR031105-01 Change of Usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders #2 SCR042704-01 FBDL PON Field

Sprint #1 #1 SCR031105-01 Change of Usage of CCNA for Sprint on LNP Orders #2 SCR10705-01 Directory Listing Changes in Conjunction with LNP.

Liz Balvin-Covad asked if Qwest new what the capacity for IMA 19.0 would be. Jill Martain-Qwest said that she did not know at this time. Liz Balvin-Covad asked if Qwest could provide a guesstimate. Jill Martain-Qwest said that her guess would be between 10,000 to 15, 000 hours but would not know until the end of the year.

-- February 16, 2005 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Liz Balvin-Covad asked if issue 2 was a non supported version. Woldey Assefa-Qwest said yes. Liz Balvin-Covad said that this CR is a high priority for Covad.

July 22, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Jill Martain/Qwest stated that Qwest would distribute the ballot on July 27th, it is due back to Qwest on July 30th, and Qwest would email the initial prioritization list to the CLECs on August 3rd. There were no questions. The CR Originator was not on the conference bridge. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that this is good for EDI. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that there is some risk in being on an unsupported version.

-- February 19, 2004 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Excerpt (Attachments H & J): Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wanted to provide an update to the funding approval process that was discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. Judy referred everyone to Attachment J in the Distribution Package. She stated that all CRs are being re-evaluated and must be approved. Judy said that CRs could not be scheduled without approval. Judy stated that the CRs with an impact to the IMA interface would follow the existing prioritization process. Judy noted that the funding for IMA 15.0 and IMA 16.0 has been approved, as well as funding to begin work on IMA 17.0.

January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest had asked the CLECs to not prioritize this CR in the 15.0 vote, but Qwest is now in the position to ask that it be voted on. Connie stated that this is a medium to high priority for Qwest, for 16.0. Connie stated that the CLECs might want to discuss this candidate with their technical partners. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked that if they move to Issue 3 and 16.0 deploys Issue 3, what happens to 15.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that all of EDI would have to go to Issue 3, regardless of the functionality version that a CLEC is on. Connie noted that previous versions are not supported from an industry perspective and noted that all need to convert. Connie stated that there would then be only 1 version of the Interactive Agent. Connie stated that there would be a window, probably 90-days, to complete the Interactive Agent Issue 3. Connie stated that all EDI users will need to migrate to Issue 3, Issue 2 would no longer be supported. Sheryl Peterson/AT&T asked how Qwest was going to handle the pipeline. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would care for what was in the pipeline, would be part of the definition of the CR. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that she would discuss with Leo (AT&T). Liz Balvin/MCI asked that when Qwest implements LSOG 7, would it be only on Issue 3 or would it also implement for Issue 2. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that it would only be against the version that Qwest is currently on. Connie stated that it would not work in previous Issues. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Talk America is very interested in this CR and stated that Qwest is supportive of this CR as well. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that this CR is medium to high for AT&T. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if there were any major issues with Interactive Agent 2. Connie Winston/Qwest responded no. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if something would be communicated in regard to the pipeline issue. Dave Steckline/Qwest stated that Qwest would certainly look into that. Connie Winston/Qwest asked what the CLEC concern was, and asked if it was that Qwest was not going to respond. Phyllis Burt/AT&T stated that there is a perceived 90-day window and noted that she would check with Regina (AT&T). Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would care for the pipeline in the definition phase. Phyllis Burt/AT&T asked if this CR had to be in 16.0 or could it be in 17.0. Dave Steckline/Qwest stated that the industry standard is for the 16.0 timeframe. Dave stated that the recommended timeframe is January 1, 2005. There were no additional questions or comments.

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest reviewed the LOE and noted that it might be good to vote it low for IMA 15.0 because the IMA 16.0 timeframe would be better for implementation.

-- CMP Monthly Meeting- excerpt from meeting minutes June 17, 2003

SCR052303-02 Request To Implement Interactive Agent Issue 3 (originated by Talk America) Viju Hullur/Talk America presented the CR and asked if Qwest was still evaluating this request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that currently, this CR would be part of the 15.0 vote. Connie stated that it might be a better fit in the timing of this CR, to wait for the implementation of this standard in 16.0. Connie stated that 15.0 is early in the standards window and stated that we would discuss this again in August for the inclusion, or exclusion, into the 15.0 prioritization. Connie noted that it would be available for the vote. There were no other questions or comments.

- Clarification Call Tuesday, June 10

Meeting attendees: Viju Huller-Talk America, Connie Winston-Qwest, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Wendy Green-Qwest, James Miller-Qwest, Randy Owen-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Review of CR: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR and asked Huller-Talk America if there were any additions or changes to the CR. Nolan-Qwest then asked Qwest what questions they had. Green-Qwest stated that Qwest had reviewed the CR and stated that currently Qwest was using Issue 2 of the AI. She asked if Talk America was asking for Issue 3. Huller-Talk America stated that she thought that this could be also done with Issue 2. Green-Qwest stated that Qwest reviewed it and believed that this was part of Issue 3 and would like to request that the CR be expanded to request Issue 3. Huller-Talk America asked if this would speed up the process. Green-Qwest stated that the only way to implement this was to do Issue 3. Owen-Qwest reviewed Issue 2 and Issue 3 with the team. He stated that Percistant Connection was a major part of Issue 3.

The team then discussed SCR052303-01 addressing 997 responses. Green-Qwest asked what the business need was for this request. Huller-Talk America stated that the 855-865 response is know immediately for pre-ordering. She continued that 997 didn't buy Qwest anything and that the key issue was traffic. She said that it's overload. Owen-Qwest asked if 'traffic' was related to persistant connection issue. Huller-Talk America stated that it did and that Qwest was using the AI reciept differently. Owen-Qwest stated that the acknowledgement is not part of the AI specifications and that it was part of the translator its self. He stated that this was a very ligimate request, but that this may not be best at the transmitter level and was not the standard. Huller-Talk America stated that she understood. Owen-Qwest stated that Qwest did have trading partners who do not look at their systems and that Qwest needed to know if they were not getting their acknowledgements. Huller-Talk America stated that they just wanted it to be optional. She suggested that they call Qwest if they did not receive the information. Owen-Qwest stated that if all trading partners monitored their systems then there would not be a need for this. He stated that Issue 3 would help with the persistant connection. He continued that he felt that the 997 issue should be addressed with TSIF. Huller-Talk America suggested a follow up meeting with Qwest. Owen-Qwest stated that this was not a standard that Qwest could change. He stated that the issue needed to be brought to TSIF.

Huller-Talk then moved back to the issue of Persistant Connection available in Issue 2. She stated that in section 9.3, page 38 it stated that Issue 2 also supported Peristant Connection. Owen-Qwest stated that in 9.2 it addressed Single EDI Messages. He stated that Peristant and Resumbale Connections were available with Issue 3. Huller-Talk America stated that she felt that it was a difference in understanding Issue 2 and Issue 3. She asked for Owen (Qwest) to reread the information in 9.2. Owne-Qwes thten stated that currently Q was compliant with Issue 2 and that they didn't want to break Issue 2 by trying to add the Peristant Connection. He stated that Peristant Connection was part of Issue 3 and that he suggested that Talk America issue a CR for Issue 3. Huller-Talk America agreed and stated that they wanted Qwest to be on Issue 3 as soon as possible.

Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any other questions, concerns, or additions. None. She stated that this CR would be presented at the June meeting and that Qwest would not be able to provide a LOE during that meeting because of the change in description to Issue 3. She stated that Qwest would provide Talk America with the LOE as soon as they had it. She then asked if there were any other questions or concerns. None.

Meeting adjourned.

For Example: USLink checks Dual Service availability by NPA/NXX in the service availability screen in the IMA and Qwest checks availability by customer’s specific addresses causing a discrepancy in information. Dual Service may be available for a specific NPA/NXX but not available for a specific address. USLink has to call interconnect to check actual availability at this time.

5/13/03 Clarification Meeting

Introduction of Attendees: Jennifer Arnold - USLink , Jody Thompson - USLink - Curt Anderson - Qwest, Monica Manning - Qwest, John Gallegos - Qwest, Berkley Loggie - Qwest

Review Description of CR Jennifer Arnold/USLink presented this CR. USLink requests that the option to check availability of a USOC or service by address, be added to the service availability screen in IMA. For Example: USLink checks Dual Service availability by NPA/NXX in the service availability screen in the IMA and Qwest checks availability by customer's specific addresses causing a discrepancy in information. Dual Service may be available for a specific NPA/NXX but not available for a specific address. USLink has to call interconnect to check actual availability at this time.

Monica Manning/Qwest asked if USLink was requesting this functionality for dual service only. US Link said yes. Monica stated that this functionality could possibly be added to the facility availability screen in IMA instead of the service availability screen

Confirm Areas and Products impacted USLink stated that this request will be revised to reflect that they are looking for this functionality for dual service and the products impacted are UNE-P POTS and Resale POTS.

Identify CLECs Expectation USLink requests that the option to check availability of a USOC or service by address, be added to the service availability screen in IMA. For Example: USLink checks Dual Service availability by NPA/NXX in the service availability screen in the IMA and Qwest checks availability by customer's specific addresses causing a discrepancy in information. Dual Service may be available for a specific NPA/NXX but not available for a specific address. USLink has to call interconnect to check actual availability at this time.

Identify any Dependent Systems Change Requests NA

Establish Action Plan US Link will send a revision to the CR and will present this CR in the June CMP Systems Meeting.

Description Of Change

Currently there is a defect in IMA due to the fact that USOC -ORDMS is now being required on all LSRs that are addressing accounts on a 5E switch. Subsequently, Qwest stated that it was not all 5E switches but that ORMDS in now required only on a 5E switch that has Call Return Deluxe. In addition, Qwest stated that there was not a method for determining which 5E switches have Call Return Deluxe and that Tel West should submit the order and if it errors out, then Tel West will know the switch has Call Return Deluxe. For example, rejected LSR 6312075 for PON 30310RB07. This was rejected and was the first one rejected that was on a 5E switch.

Tel West does not believe that Qwest Retail Reps do not have this same ordering complexity. Tel West also sees a defect in Qwest business rules since required information isn't provided for on Qwest CSRs. Qwest business rules as defined causes CLECs inoperable functionality. If a feature is not supported, Qwest should have an IMA BPL reject (up-front). It is inappropriate for CLECs to receive a FOC, followed by an ISC manual reject stating the feature doesn't exist.

Hi Karen,

I am following up on the status of SCR032703-01 (Qwest to remedy defect in IMA or Wholesale) and your e-mail below. During the October CMP Systems Meeting this CR was discussed. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that a Patch for this CR was completed in the IMA 16.0 release that should correct the problems you were experiencing. Once you have had an opportunity to review that the patch resolved the problem, please let me know if you agree that this CR can be closed.

Kerry,

We are still getting the ORDMS errors and are unable to add the block. I have noticed the switch is DMS and we are blocking

the last call return feature. I don;t think anything has changed that I can see.

LSR Reject 11784805

LSR Reject 11747738

The error also states that we can't have ORDMS and HBQ block at the same time. We need to have both blocks.

ORDMS- Redial message suppressor

HBQ - Last call return

Don,

This is to inform you that SCR032703-01 (Qwest to remedy defect in IMA or Wholesale system related to USOC – ORDMS) was deployed on April 19, 2004 in the IMA 15.0 Release. As a result, the status of this CR has been changed to CLEC Test. At this time, Qwest would like to ask if TelWest has any questions associated with the completion of this CR. If you do, please forward them to me and we will be happy to address them. If I do not receive your dissent to close, this CR will be closed on Thursday, September 10, 2004.

Thanks,

Excerpt from CMP Monthly Meeting April 22, 2003

SCR032703-01 Qwest To Remedy Defect In IMA Or Wholesale System Related To USOC –ORDMS (Originated by Tel West) Lynne Powers/Tel West reviewed the description of change of the CR.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest had tested the system and that they had not found a defect in the system. He stated that from Qwest’s perspective, the system was operating correctly. He stated that Qwest could accommodate the request for the BPL edit and stated that the LOE is 1825 to 3050 hours.

Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that on the clarification call she requested verification that Qwest retail had the same order complexity.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest retail did have the same order complexity and that both the CLECs and Qwest had to look up the availability of the USOC. He stated that the CLECs use the Service Availability Query.

Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that her Service Manager told her to submit the order and if it was rejected then it was not available.

Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that that was not currently the process and that she would touch base with Tel West’s Service Manager.

Lynne Powers/Tel West asked if there was documentation detailing how the process worked.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he could take an action item to review the documentation. He stated again that the appropriate process was to use the Service Availability Query.

Lynne Powers/Tel West stated again that Qwest did not think that it was a system defect and that the retail process had the same complexity.

John Gallegos/Qwest restated that it appeared that the system was working correctly and that Qwest had provided the LOE of 1825 to 3050 hours for the BPL edit. He stated that he assumed that that was what Tel West wanted.

Lynne Powers/Tel West stated that it was.

Description Of Change

Time Warner Telecom has issues numerous standalone Directory Listing orders (REQTYP=JB) that are confirmed and completed in IMA. These orders are then subject to additional errors from DLIS and must be reissued. There needs to be some compatibility between the two systems so that the CLEC does not have to reopen orders that our system shows complete.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Currently confirmation completion reports from Facilities Based Directory Listings (FBDL) are sent as faxes to the CLEC for GUI and as the secondary notification for EDI users (for EDI CLECs, initial confirmation is received via the DSRED 855 transaction). The current process of faxing AC responses back via the confirmation completion report is inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. We would like to see automation of this process so that IMA common responds back via individual electronic responses at the CCNA Purchase Order Number (PON) level on all orders with a status of Confirmation (AT), Accepted with Change (AC), Acknowledged with Detail No Change (AD) or Rejected (RF). This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information. CLECs would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders with a status of AC. This will streamline processes for the CLECs and Qwest allowing for better resolution of the FBDL responses that currently come via the fax (for orders with a status of AC). This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products.

IMA will automate the process for both EDI and GUI users and will provide an electronic response back to the CLEC at the PON/LSR level for each FBDL request. Additionally, IMA will be modified so that when a PON/LSR is returned with a status of AT, AC or AD, the PON/LSR will be completed within IMA. However, when a PON/LSR is returned with an initial status of RF, the PON/LSR will remain in a pending status for 10 calendar days so that the CLEC will have the opportunity to correct errors. If the LSR is not corrected within the 10-calendar day timeframe, IMA will cancel the request. If the CLEC attempts to resend/resubmit the request after the 10 calendar day timeframe, IMA will notify them of the cancellation.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- September 12, 2003 Email Received From Alan Flanigan/Time Warner: Subject: SCR012003-02 IMA GUI CR Per our conversation, this CR is being resolved under the auspices of the another issue that will be worked in IMA Common rel v14.0.

- September 12, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) stated the purpose of the call is to discuss the synergies of 5 CMP CR’s. Peggy stated that the 5 CR’s have synergies and would carry the same status as SCR103102-01. Peggy noted the 5 CR’s:

SCR103102-01 Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL responses, originated by McLeod. This CR is committed in the 14.0 Release

SCR012003-01 FBDL Errors after Order Completes. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR.

SCR041802-01 Partial Confirmation of Standalone Directory Listings. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR041703-02 Individual responses for FBDL, originated by McLeod. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR012003-02 IMA GUI Ability to Template Completed/Closed Orders. Peggy stated that this functionality will be delivered with 14.0 and asked Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) if he would agree to withdraw this CR, based on the functionality being delivered in 14.0.

Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) agreed to withdraw SCR012003-02. Alan will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest)

-- 8/21/03 CMP systems meeting Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR would also be included in SCR103102-01.

2/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Alan Flanigan/Time Warner Telecom presented the Change Request. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we held a meeting with the Directory Listing Team and they believe there are three conditions when a listing can post to the listing system: 1) without errors, 2) accepted to the database with a small error, and 3) a fatal error the database won’t accept. When there is a small error, it is still passed to IMA because it was accepted in the database. Qwest is recommending that we reject the fatal errors and not complete until the error is corrected. Alan Flanigan clarified that Qwest would not complete the fatal errors. Connie Winston/Qwest said that is correct. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that the status would be changed to Presented.

Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) agreed to withdraw SCR012003-02. Alan will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest)

- August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has a relationship with 14.0 candidates and that this CR may be able to be withdrawn as Qwest is giving the ability in 14.0 Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would work with TimeWarner offline to withdraw. Connie stated that this CR would remain on the 1530 ballot while we work with Time Warner to withdraw.

-- June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this listings change, in 14.0, touched on many of the other CR’s we had pending. Connie stated that there are currently 3 types of status for listings. Connie stated that an ‘RF’ is a fatal reject. An ‘AC’ is a small problem and will be fixed. An ‘AT’ is that the request was completed. Connie noted that these are for FBDL only. Connie stated that with 14.0, an ‘RF’ will only be sent through IMA, you can then make a change and resend it. Connie stated that this is similar to the request for a template, and may eliminate that need. Connie stated that an ‘AC’ will be Qwest responding to you that we are working on it and then Qwest will return an ‘RF’ or an ‘AT’. Connie noted that an ‘AT’ would be sent on completions. Connie stated that ‘AD’ is a new code to advise of information, such as to advise if a feature is not available in a specific state. The AD will provide Qwest the ability to provide information to the CLECs about the listing. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA asked if an ‘AD’ is equivalent to an ‘AT’ but with additional information. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this would be included in the training. Connie stated there are five CR’s that are very similar, and Qwest believes that has incorporated the changes to meet the needs with this one in 14.0. The other four CR’s are: SCR012003-01 Errors after order completes (originated by Time Warner) SCR103102-01 Change to confirmation completion report for FBDL responses (originated by McLeodUSA) SCR041802-01 Partial confirmation (originated by Time Warner) SCR012003-02 IMA GUI ability to template completed closed orders (originated by Time Warner) Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would work with the originating CLECs off line and see if they are comfortable with it. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if SCR103102-01 meet the needs of the four CR’s mentioned. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she had talked to Time Warner at one time about this and thinks that they will agree with it. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest would work with them off-line. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she likes the new ‘AD’ and asked if Qwest was going to create an exhaustive list and indicate where the ‘AD’ will apply. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest could certainly check with the listing’s people and ask for a comprehensive list of ‘ADs’. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if all stays the same until 14.0. Connie Winston/Qwest stated yes. Woldey Assefa/Qwest stated that this would be implemented in SATE for 14.0 and will be tested using the existing FBDL process in SATE. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that Qwest has identified these as having synergy and will look to package all five of these CR’s in to the 14.0 Release. Connie asked if that is how the CLECs want it represented, with SCR103102-01 as the parent CR? The CLECs responded yes. There were no additional questions or comments.

March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion Regarding IMA 14.0 Prioritization: Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that this is a Time Warner request and they are not on the call. There were no questions or comments regarding this request.

March 14, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Alan Flanigan/Time Warner, Katherine Joslin/Time Warner, Amy Shaffer/Time Warner, Bob Chavez/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Lee Gomez/Qwest, Monica Manning/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that the purpose of the call was for further clarification. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked for confirmation that Time Warner’s request was for FBDL only. Alan Flanigan/Qwest stated that Time Warner only uses IMA for FBDL so yes, their request is for FBDL. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if Time Warner was agreeable to leave the Impacted Product as only FBDL. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner stated yes, is in agreement. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that there is another CMP CR submitted by Time Warner that may meet the template need. (SCR012003-01FBDL Errors After Order Completes). John (Qwest) stated that RF would be kept in a pending status and those other than RF would need to be modified. Katherine Joslin/Time Warner stated that leaving the RF’s in a pending status will certainly help, but would like to be able to pull up an order that was done several weeks ago and use it without having to re-key the information. Katherine (Time Warner) stated that currently, they have to re-key the entire order. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that the RF’s kept in pending will help them and stated that Time Warner is still in need for a template for other than RF. Katherine Joslin/Time Warner stated yes, that is correct. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that they would be recapping the main listing and that if there were 100 listings, it would still require a lot of work Katherine Joslin/Time Warner stated that is thinking it would be more for an Executive Suite. The account information and main listing would remain the same; but maybe there would be a change in a name. Lee Gomez/Qwest stated that it is more at an account level. Katherine Joslin/Time Warner stated that for example, the Listed Name could change but that the main account information would stay the same. John Gallegos/Qwest asked how long does Time Warner want the template to be kept available. Katherine Joslin/Time Warner stated that she would leave that up to Qwest, but 3 month’s would be more than enough time. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest will analyze and will provide a status. There were no other questions or comments.

-- February 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Alan Flanigan/Time Warner presented this CR. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this may not be needed due to the solution for SCR012003-01 (FBDL Errors After Order Completes). Alan Flanigan/Time Warner stated that Time Warner'srequest is just for FBDL but other CLECs may want for all orders. Alan stated that he wants to copy orders. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that there may be an existing template. Alan Flanigan stated that it cannot be used for FBDL. Connie Winston/Qwest stated will look into that and stated that if this CR was to include all products, the scope would increase for this CR. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner stated that that he did not understand why the scope would increase to add all products. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that that she would look into it. There were no other questions or comments.

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation: Method to reissue orders in IMA

Meeting Discussion: Amy Shaffer/Time Warner stated that the main problem was that when an order completes and is confirmed, they can’t touch it and they need to be able to. Monica Manning/Qwest stated that when specifically referencing completed/closed orders, Qwest does have pending requests that can be used as the template. Amy Shaffer/Time Warner stated that the problem is with the confirmed/completed status. John Gallegos/Qwest asked to confirm that this is specific to listing’s errors. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner stated that he would like open to any posted order, to obtain a higher priority. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that if the request is not specific to DLIS and is for all orders, this would be a much larger issue. Alan Flanigan/Time Warner agreed to scope of listings only.

Establish Action Plan Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that this CR is due for presentation, by Time Warner, at the February 20, 2003 Systems CMP meeting.

Description Of Change

WCom is requesting that Qwest modify its process(es) and system(s) to provide the option for CLECs to receive, and Qwest to transmit, DUF data in distinct files for UNE-P and for Resale, as well as distinct files for each state in Qwest’s region.

Therefore, if so requested by the CLEC, for each state where a CLEC had UNE-P and/or Resale DUF data, Qwest would provide a UNE-P DUF and/or a Resale DUF, and identify the associated state. Such that for a CLEC with UNE-P and Resale DUF data in all 14 states, Qwest would provide a total of 28 files (14 UNE-P files and 14 Resale files) each with a unique DSN.

[ NOTE : This functionality is requested to be made available in conjunction with Qwest’s current offering to provide UNE-P DUF data separated by ADUF (Cat. 11) and ODUF (Cat. 10) data. ]

Providing DUF data segmented by product type and state will benefit both Qwest and the CLEC by minimizing the size of each DUF and thereby reducing the risk associating with handling extremely large file sizes. Additionally, the separation of DUF data will ease the management of the data and troubleshooting issues.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR010303-01, dated 1/03/03, titled: Provide DUF (Daily Usage File) By Product Type and By State.

CR Description: WCom is requesting that Qwest modify its process(es) and system(s) to provide the option for CLECs to receive, and Qwest to transmit, DUF data in distinct files for UNE-P and for Resale, as well as distinct files for each state in Qwest’s region.

Such that for a CLEC with UNE-P and Resale DUF data in all 14 states, Qwest would provide a total of 28 files (14 UNE-P files and 14 Resale files) each with a unique DSN. [NOTE: This functionality is requested to be made available in conjunction with Qwest’s current offering to provide UNE-P DUF data separated by ADUF (Cat. 11) and ODUF (Cat. 10) data.] Providing DUF data segmented by product type and state will benefit both Qwest and the CLEC by minimizing the size of each DUF and thereby reducing the risk associating with handling extremely large file sizes. Additionally, the separation of DUF data will ease the management of the data and troubleshooting issues.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Monday, January 13, 2003 with WorldCom and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR010303-01, Provide DUF (Daily Usage File) By Product Type and By State, and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit in relationship to the associated costs. Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the LOE of this change would be 12,403 hours and would also require significant maintenance costs and additional resources. This request would require Qwest to distribute up to 42 individual DUF files per CLEC per day versus 6 files that are sent in today’s environment. This increase per CLEC would not result in a reasonable business benefit to warrant the expense of this change.

Currently, CLECs can readily determine the information requested in this CR through currently available DUF information. For example, on DUF files currently distributed to all CLECs, the EMI Indicator-4 field is populated on DUF detail records. All records that contain a value of "7" in this field are associated with UNE-P accounts. Conversely, all records that contain a value of "6" in this field are associated with Resale accounts.

This CR also requested that Qwest provide separate DUF files by state. Currently, Qwest "packs" records separately, within each DUF file, by RAO (Regional Accounting Office). These RAOs provide CLECs a reliable method of determining which state each record relates to. In addition, the EMI Billing Number/To Number/From Number fields provide ample information allowing CLECs to determine state ownership.

In light of the information currently available to CLECs through the Indicator-4 field and the RAO/Telephone Number fields, and no perceivable reasonable demonstrable business benefit for the associated costs, Qwest is denying your request for SCR010303-01, Provide DUF (Daily Usage File) By Product Type and By State.

Sincerely, Qwest

Description Of Change

EDI Implementation Guidelines – for Interconnect Mediated Access (IMA) Version 11.0

"The Controlled Production exit criteria listed above must be satisfied for a transaction type before it can be utilized by the CLEC in the Qwest production environment. When meeting the above requirements for Controlled Production, any given product/activity type can be phased into production, as CLEC client data becomes available to be provisioned. A CLEC can move into IMA Production with one or more products when any of the products being implemented for that release receives an 865 Completion and at least one product being implemented for that release has also received an 865 FOC for a Supplemental transaction."

Qwest asserts its EDI Stand Alone Test Environment (SATE) "mirrors" its production environment. Thus, CLECs should have the "option" to verify transactions in production.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): That Qwest change EDI controlled production phase from required to optional.

Escalation of SCR010303-02 (Change EDI "controlled production" phase fromrequired to optional) Initial Response Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2003 13:51:23 -0600 From: Elizabeth Balvin To: 'cmpesc@qwest.com' CC: lnolan@qwest.com

============================================================================ =====================

Description: MCI requests that Qwest change from required to optional its EDI "controlled production phase" or that production volumes during the EDI "controlled production phase" not be restricted.

History: SCR010303-02 submitted 01/03/03 and denied on 2/10/03.

Reason for Escalation: Per Qwest, the EDI stand alone test environment (SATE) mirrors the production environment. Thus, SATE is the means to identify coding issues. In addition, the business processing layer (BPL) edits are in place to reduce the acceptance of "flawed" LSR's, thus other CLECs would not be impacted by "validated" production volumes.

Business need and impact: Delays market entry unnecessarily.

Desired CLEC resolution: That Qwest EDI controlled production phase become "optional" or that Qwest not restrict production volumes during controlled production phase.

Liz,

Qwest received your email in regards to the need for Controlled Production after WorldCom’s implementation of IMA 10.0 Release.

For the products and pre-order functions that WorldCom implemented in IMA 10.0, WorldCom will not be subject to performing controlled production when migrating to future releases.

For any new products or pre-order functions that are added in future releases, WorldCom needs to complete the Controlled Production phase for the new EDI transactions in the release. After placing the new products into production, WorldCom would not be required to perform the Controlled Production phase when migrating those products or pre-order functions to new releases.

Please contact Qwest with any additional comments or concerns.

Thank you, Wendy Green Qwest

Nolan-Qwest stated that the team would be discussing the issue at the CMP meeting under the requested Walk-On item and that the CMP were not on the phone to discuss. She continued that this meeting was for the clarification call for the CR. Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the request as stated on the CR form. She asked if there were any questions or additions. Balvin-WorldCom stated that there were no additions. Green-Qwest asked Balvin what her specific concerns were that were driving this request. Balvin-WorldCom stated that other ILECs have a Managed Phase and don't have restrictions. She stated that she understood that orders could still be sent in production, but that they were restricted. She stated that this would be possible. Green-Qwest stated that Qwest would continue to look into this request.

Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the products and interfaces impacted and asked if there were any changes or additions. No additions.

Nolan-Qwest stated that Balvin-WorldCom had requested a walk-on item for the classification of this CR and that it would be discussed in the January CMP Systems Meeting. She stated that the CR would be presented in the February CMP Systems Meeting and that Qwest would provide its initial response prior to the meeting as scheduled.

Response to Laurel Nolan-CRPM from Liz Balvin-WorldCom- January 9, 2003

Laurel,

Per the CMP document:

CLEC-Qwest OSS Interface Change Request Process

"A CLEC or Qwest seeking to change an existing OSS Interface, to establish a new OSS Interface, or to retire an existing OSS Interface must submit a Change Request (CR)."

CLEC Originated Product/Process Change Request Process

"If a CLEC wants Qwest to change a product/process, the CLEC e-mails a Change Request (CR) Form to the Qwest CMP Manager, cmpcr@qwest.com"

WCom's CR does NOT intend to change an existing OSS Interface, etc. The intent is to change the process imposed by Qwest for the EDI controlled production phase.

WCom requests this issue be discussed as a walk-on item at next weeks CMP.

Thanks in advance,

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR010303-02, dated 1/03/03, titled: Change EDI "controlled production" phase from required to optional.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): That Qwest change EDI controlled production phase from required to optional.

History: A clarification meeting was held on Monday, January 13, 2003 with WorldCom and Qwest representation.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR010303-02, Change EDI "controlled production" phase from required to optional, and has determined that this change may impact many CLECs in a negative manner. It has been determined that this would not result in customer service improvement if Qwest were to accommodate this request.

As defined in the Colorado SGAT Eighth Revision in section 12.3.9.3.4, Controlled Production is designed to provide both the CLEC and Qwest assurances that the CLEC’s interface is ready for operation. During Controlled Production, a CLEC demonstrates that the interface between Qwest and the CLEC is working correctly by submitting a series of agreed-upon transactions.

By utilizing Controlled Production, Qwest and the CLEC work to ensure that there are no problems with the interface prior to submitting full production volumes to the production IMA system. This is beneficial to both the CLECs and Qwest. If a problem is uncovered during the Controlled Production phase, the CLEC becomes aware of the problem quickly and can fix it. However, if a problem was discovered without performing Controlled Production, a large number of submitted LSRs could be affected. This would require the CLEC to fix and resubmit all of the incorrect transactions. Additionally, the incorrect transactions could flood the Qwest Interconnect Service Center (ISC), causing a back-log in the center in situations where the center manually reviews and rejects the transactions. This would impact other CLEC’s ability to have their transactions processed in a timely manner and therefore cause diminished levels of service to everyone.

Qwest has been engaged in interface testing with CLECs for several years, has experienced CLEC software problems during Controlled Production, and believes the currently defined process to be thorough and efficient. Qwest has worked to meet WorldCom’s needs to help them expeditiously release into production specifically using a Controlled Production environment.

By utilizing Controlled Production, the CLEC avoids problems in the production environment with a new interface. In light of the potential negative impacts to other CLECs, and no perceivable improvement to customer service, Qwest is denying your request for SCR010303-021, Change EDI "controlled production" phase from required to optional.

Sincerely, Lynn Notarianni, Information Technologies

WCom requests an ad-hoc meeting be scheduled as soon as possible to vote on the following:

"Yes" would allow WCom’s intended prioritized results be included in results for IMA 13.0.

"No" would cause initial prioritized results to stand.

January 23, 2003 Conference Call Meeting Start Time: 1 p.m. NOTE: The meeting began at 1:00 p.m. MT. The meeting took place as an Ad-Hoc Meeting.

Purpose The purpose of the Exception Meeting was to vote on whether to grant SCR011303-02EX. A vote was planned and noted during the Pre-Meeting held during the January Systems CMP Meeting on January 16, 2003.

Attachments a) Attendees (see below)

Meeting Minutes Nolan-Qwest started the meeting with roll call. She then stated that quorum was calculated in accordance with section 17.4.1 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process document. She stated that the quorum was set at five and that seven companies had submitted votes or were on the call. She stated that a vote would be taken during this call. Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the purpose of the call. She stated that it was to vote on the exception of SCR011303-02EX submitted by WorldCom. She reviewed the exception vote notification stating that “This Exception CR seeks an exception from the timeline delineated in Section 10.3.2 of the Qwest Wholesale Change Management Process Document. This exception requests permission for WorldCom to resubmit their prioritization for IMA 13.0, because their initial list reflected the reverse of WorldCom’s intent. If this exception is granted it would cause the IMA 13.0 prioritized results to be recalculated.” She then stated that the pre-meeting was held during the January CMP Systems Meeting. Nolan-Qwest then asked if there were any questions. No questions were asked.

Nolan-Qwest then reviewed the “yes” and “no” vote definition. She stated that a vote of ‘Yes’ will indicate a preference to allow WorldCom to resubmit prioritization for IMA 13.0. A vote of ‘No’ will indicate a preference that Qwest NOT implement a change to the timeline. She also noted that if this exception is granted it would cause the IMA 13.0 prioritized results to be recalculated. She asked if there were any questions or concerns. No questions were asked.

Nolan-Qwest stated that Qwest had received votes from WorldCom, Eschelon, and Allegiance. Van Meter-AT&T asked if she had received AT&T’s vote. Nolan-Qwest stated that she had and apologized for not calling it out in the list. She asked for the other companies who were participating on the call to please email in their votes to cmpcr@qwest.com. She then stated that email votes were received by McLeod and Qwest. Barard-Covad stated that he had also sent his in. Nolan-Qwest then stated that she was waiting for the Covad vote. She then stated that the vote was received and that the Exception was granted with 7 “yes” votes, 0 “no” votes, and 0 “abstains”. She stated that an email would be distributed with the vote disposition and that the Initial Prioritization Form would be distributed. She stated that it would be the same as the example that was sent out with the Exception Vote Notification. She asked if there were any questions. No questions were asked.

Nolan-Qwest then thanked everyone for participating and reminded the companies that the SATE prioritization was due by 5:00pm that day.

Meeting adjourned.

Allegiance: Ian Coleman Excerpt from January Systems CMP Meeting on January 16, 2003

Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that two notifications went out on January 14th, one was an exception for the sunset of IMA 11.0 (SCR010803-01EX) and the other is the exception for WorldCom’s prioritization for IMA 13.0 (SCR011303-02EX). Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that the vote for SCR010803-01EX would be in the February Systems CMP Meeting. Laurel stated that an ad-hoc meeting would not be needed due to the timelines. Laurel reviewed McLeod’s exception request. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that the goal is the first or second week of Septemberr, with the earliest being around August 12. Laurel Nolan/Qwest reviewed that the “yes” vote would mean that we would move forward with changing the date, a “no” vote would mean that we would stay with the timeline as stated. She then stated that the vote would take place during the next Monthly Meeting in February. Laurel Nolan/Qwest- stated that the second exception request was submitted by WorldCom, SCR011303-02EX. Laurel stated that WorldCom is requesting to re-submit their prioritization and the exception is requesting that the prioritization results get re-calculated. A “yes” vote would mean to allow the new prioritization list as well as the recalculation. A “no” vote would mean to stay with the current calculation. We have the vote meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 2003. Ian Coleman/Allegiance stated that his concern is that he would rather see Qwest recalculate the vote, he does not want WorldCom to submit a different prioritization now that they have seen the results of the vote. Judy Schultz/Qwest clarified that WorldCom is not resubmitting their vote, they are just flip-flopping the assignment. Connie Winston/Qwest asked if it was acceptable to ask how the CLECs felt about this. Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon stated that she we would support the request. Laurel Nolan/Qwest stated that she would include the attachment with the meeting notice. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she has already calculated and has sent it to the CLECs. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that based on the feedback from the CLECs, Qwest is to move forward with the flip-flopped list. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that time has been lost.

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting An agreement was reached with the CLEC Community in the April CMP Systems Meeting on SCR022703- 26 Documentation update valid values on AVR and CSR response field. This change request will be 'crossed over' to product and process and closed. Qwest agreed to 'cross over' this CR with the caveat that Qwest does not agree that this is Process work and believes it to be a system request. 4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that there is one more walk on to discuss regarding, from Liz Balvin. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was expecting a follow up call from Qwest last month and never got one. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that nothing has changed in regard to this issue. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom submitted process CRs and Qwest unilaterally processed them as systems CRs. Liz stated that if Qwest objected to MCI’s issuing these CRs as Process CRs, then Qwest needs to take this to the oversight committee. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Judy Schultz needs to address this issue and that Judy will be returning to the meeting after lunch. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom wanted the CRs reverted back to Product/Process and sees that it was not done. Liz stated that she does not know if Judy is aware of that. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that Judy is aware of your position on that. Lynn stated that from a standpoint of resolution, Qwest’s position is that we would not be escalating on ourselves on an issue that we feel that the decision was made congruent with how we’ve treated these types of issues in the past. Lynn stated that these CRs do need and take systems resources in order to do the work. Kit Thomte/Qwest recommended that we break for lunch and reconvene at 1:00 p.m. MT. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom submitted 3 CRs as document changes and Qwest unilaterally changed them to systems CRs. Liz stated that this conversation has gone round and round. Liz stated that she tried to change the language back in December because she did not want these to impact IMA resources. Liz stated that the Qwest EDI implementation team changes documentation if Qwest finds a problem. Liz stated that if Qwest believes that WorldCom inappropriately sent these as Product/Process, Qwest needs to do something. Liz noted that any time there has been a cross over we’ve agreed to it in this forum and stated that she sees Qwest as out of process and doesn’t know how to better address that. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that it is important to have this discussion and feels that we are at an impasse. Judy apologized if in the past Qwest has made unilateral decisions without communicating those decisions to change the CRs from Product/Process to Systems. Judy stated that Qwest is in the unique position of knowing which it should be and when there will be an impact to the systems. Judy stated that you might think it is just a process change, but we do know our internal systems and can say when a request would really impact a system. Judy noted that on the other hand, some changes come in as systems and we can look at it and determine that it would not require systems restraints and so we suggest crossing those CRs over to Product/Process. Judy stated that an email is sent to state if processed as a Product/Process or a Systems CR. Judy stated that the one issue that we are a little bit apart on is what to do with these systems documentation changes. Judy stated that in Section 8, which describes systems changes, the deliverables do include the system’s documentation, which is Sue’s (Stott) team. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she agrees that the initial documentation to documented system enhancements per release should be included, but this is after it is implemented and a CLEC identifies a flaw with the documentation. Liz stated that in December, she said that the change was not intended to change existing documentation or previously existing versions, we just want issues addressed going forward. Liz stated that resources are required for new release documents, but once the document is used and a defect is identified, they should be corrected. Liz noted that the CLECs work with the EDI documentation team and when an issue is identified, that team fixes the problem. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that her team handles those in the same manner as a production support bug. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that these CR’s are for the issues that the EDI team said Qwest would not do as a bug fix. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that those were ones that Qwest viewed as enhancements rather than a bug in the documentation. Sharon Van Meter/AT&T asked if after a release is implemented and a bug is identified in the documentation, WorldCom sends an email to someone? Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that should go through production support. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the production support help desk would not know this stuff. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they do work with the EDI team and were told to issue these CRs. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that they are not a bug because the information is already there, it is an enhancement. Wendy noted that a lot of the time Qwest fixes issues that a CLEC brings forwards through that team but in this case you were requesting something a bit bigger than simply a clarification or a bug fix. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it is not an enhancement because the documentation is incorrect. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that we are disagreeing about a gray area, one side views as an enhancement and one side views as a bug. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that her consumer team is finding this a challenge, they are trying to work with a manual and are feeling the same frustration. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she understands Qwest’s position to not look at every data field so agreed to change the CR. Liz stated that the guidelines are for Qwest to focus on documentation going forward. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that there is a process for documentation issues when Qwest and the CLECs believe that it is a bug. Liz Balvin/MCI stated is for when Qwest believes it to be a bug. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked when it happens that something in the documentation that a CLEC sees as a defect and Qwest doesn’t, would it satisfy the CLECs if going forward as fields are impacted in the course of a release, the documentation would be changed going forward to adhere to those expectations. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that this is currently occurring. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that in reference to this CR, they were told to issue a CR., as well as for the other 2 CRs. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that where it gets gray is when further clarification is needed for a field. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that these items are not gray, they are adding valid values or formats. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that the bigger issue for IT documentation is Qwest has people working on the releases and when they get a request for a documentation update, the people have to be diverted from the release in order to do the documentation updates. Sue stated that maybe the answer is less capacity for a release. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she wants to make sure that we’re clear. Judy noted that if there were 200 different fields to update, that would be a big effort. Judy stated that she thought she heard that IT was going forward in trying to follow the proposed guidelines. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that IT does that today and noted that her concern is, if you are an EDI user you are not going to pay close attention to the new release right away and that Qwest will not be made aware of issues until much later. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that Qwest needs to be careful because you cannot update for some products and not all, that would create other problems. Randy stated that we need to look at updates across the board, maybe a legend should be developed. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the EDI documentation is going to come along because you now have users. Liz noted that consistency is an excellent point, if you only do that on one field then it could create inconsistency. Liz stated that she liked the idea of a legend but would need to check with her coders to see if one would work for them. Liz stated that she could possibly only be looking at a specific field and would need a guide to tell her what to look at first. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked what if we do a running cheat sheet. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that we saw that this CR might take us there and started down that path. Then heard that is not what was wanted. Sue Stott/Qwest stated that we have to carefully scrutinize to ensure that a documentation change doesn’t also mean a system change. It is so tightly related, the difference can be as subtle as an and/or difference. Sue stated that is another reason why system resources are needed. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she understands that it is the same resources and is just trying to explore if IT can do a piece at-a-time. Judy asked if there are ever any times when it would be logical do to this kind of work. Is there ever a time in development when we could spend time doing this? Sue Stott/Qwest stated that it would still take systems resources to do that and stated that the issue is if it affects the voting capacity for a release. Sue stated that in many cases the same resources are used for coding and documentation. Liz Balvin/MCI asked if she could update the single source CR with a title change to ‘Guiding Principals to Qwest Documentation on Going Forward Basis, When Documentation Happens’, and will list the 10-items that you say you are using. Liz stated that the CR would then be moved back to Process and the documentation would be done when the regular document comes out. Liz stated that when new documentation comes out in future releases and sees that the guidelines are not being adhered to, and when it severely impacts her ability to do business then she would bring it forward. Liz stated that she would be willing to do that in order to get these off the table. Liz stated that she understands where Qwest is coming from and that believes that Qwest understands where she is coming from. Kit Thomte/Qwest asked how the guidelines would be updated. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that they would be closed with this CR and for other items that come up, new CRs would be issued. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked if they are to call the Help Desk if problems after in production. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that the documentation team is to be contacted if prior to 30 days after production, after the 30 days, you contact the Help Desk. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that we took the principles and looked at redesigning to be 1 document for both EDI and GUI. Wendy stated that she did not know if that is still on the table. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that that was not the intent of the CR. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest asked if the guiding principles are separate from SBCs document. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that within the current format, will use the 10 guiding principles. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked if we should have a ‘guiding principles’ standing agenda item to identify what can be removed from the list. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that things would never be crossed off the list because they are principles and are there forever. Liz Balvin/MCI shared Judy’s concern and stated that they just came across a situation where they reserved TNs in the GUI and submitted the order in EDI. The reps populated the PON manually, typing them in lower case, but went out the door in upper case. Liz stated that it is not documented that they have to be in upper case. Liz stated that it would be helpful to have a tab for Documentation Experiences/Discussion. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that there is a tab for design walkthrough’s and we can have one for documentation. Lynn noted that it could have something in it, or not. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she understands Qwests position and stated that she did not know that she could call the Help Desk for documentation issues, that is a value add from this discussion. Sue Stott/Qwest asked that instead of a standing agenda item or separate tab, maybe we could add documentation issues to the SATE portion of the meeting. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that that would be fine. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that it could be EDI/SATE. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would review her 3 CRs to see if they are guiding principles. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that if Liz wants to close as a process CR, is ok with that as long as it is noted that Qwest does not agree that this is Process work. Judy stated that Qwest truly believes them to be systems requests. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was not clear on closing the CR as a Process CR. Judy Schultz/Qwest responded that that is what Liz wanted. Randy Owen/Qwest stated that the guiding principles can be closed, Qwest has adopted them. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that when a CLEC submits a CR, Qwest looks at it and determines if it is an impact for Product/Process or Systems. Judy stated that Qwest would email the CLEC if the category is different. Judy asked if that was an acceptable way to communicate. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she did receive emails and that she responded that she did not agree with the assigned category. Judy Schultz/Qwest asked that when the email is sent, what happens if we cannot reach agreement, how do we break that stalemate? Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that in that case, if a CLEC says it is a Product/Process CR and Qwest says that it is not, it could result in a denial based on infeaseability. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that it could result in a denial. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she would not be unreasonable. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that she is just stating that it could be a risk. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that the stalemate is due to the category of product/process or systems, and stated that she thinks that we have flushed out why each of us believes the way we do. Liz asked if these CRs are going to remain as Process CRs as they were originally intended? Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that she is ok with the change back to Process and closing it out, with Judy adding a note that Qwest believes the CR to be a Systems change. Judy stated that she has an obligation to represent Qwest’s position. Judy stated that in the future, as CRs come in the door, my team will send out an email with the category, and if you don’t agree you need to let us know and we will call a meeting to discuss. Judy asked if that was acceptable to the CLECs. Liz Balvin/MCI said yes. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest asked how the CRs that are marked as both Product/Process are to be handled. Judy Schultz/Qwest stated that in some instances the CR may be both, could be a systems CR and an MN. Judy stated that if the CR is for both P/P and Systems, the CRPM would ask that separate CRs be issued. Lynn Stecklein/Qwest clarified that all 3 CRs will be crossed-over to Product/Process and will be closed. There were no additional questions or comments.

3/20/03 CMP systems meeting Wendy Green/Qwest provided the revised LOE of 50 to150 hours, and noted that this CR will be reflected on the ballot for 14.0 Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that this does not impact the GUI and that the interface should be EDI. Wendy Green/Qwest confirmed that it should be EDI because it’s associated with the developer worksheets.

2/26/03 Qwest recommendations re: EDI Documentation

Liz,

Based on Qwest's analysis of the documents you submitted on 2/25/03, Qwest makes the following recommendations:

1. Questions 75, 76, 107, 115, 190, 195, 202 (Appendix A in the attached document) Create a systems CMP CR titled "Explicitly state valid values on AVR and CSR Response Fields." This CR should incorporate adding the valid values for each of the fields referenced in the questions listed above.

2. Question 81 (Appendix B in the attached document) Create a systems CMP CR titled "Add date format to valid values to ORIGDATE on CSR response."

3: Question 34 (Appendix G in the attached document) Create a product/process CMP CR "Add Pre-order abbreviations to QLSOG". 4. Questions 256, 270, 16 (Appendix D in the attached document) Qwest will initiate an internal CR to update the documentation in the next release of the IMA Disclosure Document.

5. Questions 7, 18, 19, 23, 25 (Appendix E in the attached document) Each of these questions relate to the documentation of differences between EDI vs. GUI. Qwest would like to initiate an action item to discuss the usage of the current documents and whether these updates are needed in the March systems CMP meeting.

6. Question 15 (Appendix F in the attached document) Qwest would like to initiate a CMP action item to discuss this question in the March systems CMP meeting.

7. Questions 1, 2, 4, 31 (Appendix C in the attached document) Qwest would like to address these questions as part of the ongoing documentation restructuring efforts.

8. Questions 99, 100, 12, 22: Qwest is still researching these items.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks, Lynn Stecklein CRPM Systems lsteckl@qwest.com 303 896-0547

4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting An agreement was reached with the CLEC Community in the April CMP Systems Meeting on SCR022703- 25 Documentation update valid date format.This change request will be 'crossed over' to product and process and closed. Qwest agreed to 'cross over' this CR with the caveat that Qwest does not agree that this is Process work and believes it to be a system request. An agreement was reached with the CLEC Community in the April CMP Systems Meeting on SCR022703- Single Source Document for implementing ED. This change request will be 'crossed over' to product and process and closed. Qwest agreed to 'cross over' this CR with the caveat that Qwest does not agree that this is Process work and believes it to be a system request. 4/17/03 CMP Systems Meeting Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that there is one more walk on to discuss regarding, from Liz Balvin. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she was expecting a follow up call from Qwest last month and never got one. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that nothing has changed in regard to this issue. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom submitted process CRs and Qwest unilaterally processed them as systems CRs. Liz stated that if Qwest objected to MCI’s issuing these CRs as Process CRs, then Qwest needs to take this to the oversight committee. Kit Thomte/Qwest stated that Judy Schultz needs to address this issue and that Judy will be returning to the meeting after lunch. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that WorldCom wanted the CRs reverted back to Product/Process and sees that it was not done. Liz stated that she does not know if Judy is aware of that.

3/20/03 CMP Systems Meeting Beth King/Qwest stated that this CR (and the following CR) are associated with one of the items that is part of the single source discussion in Attachment R and asked if we wanted to defer this CR until we had that discussion. Everyone agreed. Wendy Green/Qwest stated that the LOE has been revised to 25 to 100 hours.

2/26/03 Qwest Recommendations re:EDI Documentation Liz,

Based on Qwest's analysis of the documents you submitted on 2/25/03, Qwest makes the following recommendations:

1. Questions 75, 76, 107, 115, 190, 195, 202 (Appendix A in the attached document) Create a systems CMP CR titled "Explicitly state valid values on AVR and CSR Response Fields." This CR should incorporate adding the valid values for each of the fields referenced in the questions listed above.

2. Question 81 (Appendix B in the attached document) Create a systems CMP CR titled "Add date format to valid values to ORIGDATE on CSR response."

3: Question 34 (Appendix G in the attached document) Create a product/process CMP CR "Add Pre-order abbreviations to QLSOG". 4. Questions 256, 270, 16 (Appendix D in the attached document) Qwest will initiate an internal CR to update the documentation in the next release of the IMA Disclosure Document.

5. Questions 7, 18, 19, 23, 25 (Appendix E in the attached document) Each of these questions relate to the documentation of differences between EDI vs. GUI. Qwest would like to initiate an action item to discuss the usage of the current documents and whether these updates are needed in the March systems CMP meeting.

6. Question 15 (Appendix F in the attached document) Qwest would like to initiate a CMP action item to discuss this question in the March systems CMP meeting.

7. Questions 1, 2, 4, 31 (Appendix C in the attached document) Qwest would like to address these questions as part of the ongoing documentation restructuring efforts.

8. Questions 99, 100, 12, 22: Qwest is still researching these items.

Description Of Change

Qwest currently performs synch testing when provisioning wholesale DSL services. MCI requests the addition of MLT testing prior to the issuance of a service order completion (SOC) notice. In addition, that these results be made available to CLECs. The request is made based MCI’s experiencing a 51% failure rate in a single month (August/03). MTL testing during Qwest provisioning process would reduce the number of trouble tickets necessary to adequately provision DSL services.

Expected Deliverables

That Qwest implement MLT testing as a requirement prior to issuance of SOCs. In addition, that these results be made available to CLECs

Project Meetings

7/22/04 Systems CMP Meeting

Connie Winston/Qwest stated that we responded to MCI and asked if MCI was ok to close this CR. Liz Balvin/MCI said this CR could be closed.

6/17/04 Systems CMP Meeting

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that Qwest will be providing a written response to MCI. John said that the response was based on the problem description MCI provided. John said that Qwest is implementing a Covad CR in October for MLT and is part of the ownership check. Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she will review the response with MCI personnel and would like to leave this action item open.

5/20/04 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion:

Liz Balvin/MCI stated that she is waiting on a written response on the 12 examples she provided and what sync testing would have done. Liz also would like the conditions to get a positive result when this fails. John Berard/Covad asked if sync test is an option when a CLEC has DSL in those offices. John Gallegos/Qwest sated that this would be available in CEMR.

This CR was discussed earlier in Attachment G. John Berard/Covad asked if there were any CRs submitted for the MLT splitter signature because it would be a useful test. John Gallegos/Qwest stated that he did not think a CR was ever submitted. Liz Balvin/MCI wants the response in writing. This action item remains open.

Lynn,

Attached are several examples whereby MCI believes an MLT performed by Qwest would not have resulted in M&R issues. Root cause analysis performed by Qwest may provide guidance to MCI's concerns below "what Qwest plans to do about the failure rates MCI is experiencing as provided for with the initiation of this CR?"

Please provide a written response to the following as well:

Please provide a better description of why this CR was denied by Qwest. MCI must understand what Qwest finds economically infeasible: a) their ability to perform MLT or b) their ability to update IMA and CEMR systems to provide results or c) both.

Thanks,

Liz Balvin

Lynn,

MCI is requesting “MLT testing on the data portion of the DSL line or the voice portion of the DSL line”.

When will Qwest have an LOE?, this CR has been open since October of 03.

Hi Liz,

Qwest has been evaluating SCR102803-01 (Qwest to perform MLT Testing and provide CLEC results for DSL provisioned services) and have a question for you. Can you verify whether this CR is requesting MLT testing on the data portion of the DSL line or the voice portion of the DSL line.

Thanks in advance,

Review Description of Change MCI is Qwest currently performs synch testing when provisioning wholesale DSL services. MCI requests the addition of MLT testing prior to the issuance of a service order completion (SOC) notice. In addition, that these results be made available to CLECs. The request is made based MCI’s experiencing a 51% failure rate in a single month (August/03). MTL testing during Qwest provisioning process would reduce the number of trouble tickets necessary to adequately provision DSL services.

Discussion Liz Balvin/MCI said that she thought that the existing CR submitted from Covad was providing the same thing that MCI was requesting but said that she has come to the conclusion that these requests are not the same. Craig Sullentrop/Qwest stated that there is an existing Product/Process CR that was submitted by AT&T that may have some synergies but that request is for UNE-P. Craig said that AT&T does not want the result.

Liz Balvin/MCI said that she marked both the IMA and CEMR interfaces because she was not sure which would be easier.

John Gallegos/Qwest stated that we would look at both interfaces and provide the LOE for both. John also stated that we would prefer CEMR..

Bob Hercher/Qwest asked MCI to verify if they were looking for a new response time and that this was not a FOC.

Liz Balvin/MCI said that they were looking for the MLT Test result.

Confirm Product and Interface Impacted This product associated with this request is UNE-P with Line Splitting and is requesting that Qwest look at CEMR and IMA as the potential interface

Identify/Confirm CLECs Expectation That Qwest implement MLT testing as a requirement prior to issuance of SOCs. In addition, that these results be made available to CLECs.

Establish Action Plan MCI will present this CR in the November CMP Systems Meeting.

This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR102803-01, dated 10/28/03, and titled: Qwest to perform MLT testing and provide CLEC results for DSL provisioned services.

CR Description: Qwest currently performs synch testing when provisioning wholesale DSL services. MCI requests the addition of MLT testing prior to the issuance of a service order completion (SOC) notice. In addition, the request asks that these results be made available to CLECs. The request is made based MCI’s experiencing a 51% failure rate in a single month (August/03). MLT testing during Qwest provisioning process would reduce the number of trouble tickets necessary to adequately provision DSL services.

History: A clarification meeting was held on November 10, 2003 with MCI and Qwest representation. At this meeting, Qwest asked MCI to verify whether they were looking for a new response time and stated that this was not a Firm Order Confirmation (FOC). MCI responded that they were looking for the MLT Test result. Additionally, MCI is requesting that Qwest consider CEMR and IMA as a potential interface for the return of MLT information on the UNE-P with Line Splitting product.

Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for SCR102803-01, Qwest to perform MLT testing and provide CLEC results for DSL provisioned services, and has determined that this change is economically infeasible.

Currently, MLT is a diagnostic repair test that can be performed by a CLEC via CEMR on a loop connected to a Qwest switch after the loop has been provisioned to the CLEC. MCI is requesting that Qwest perform the MLT test on behalf of the CLEC for every DSL request prior to SOC completion and return the results to the CLEC. MCI also requests that Qwest modify its CEMR and IMA system interfaces to perform this functionality. However, this type of change would require significant and expensive upgrades to Qwest systems. Qwest will be implementing functionality through change requests SCR061303-01 and SCR090503-01, which will provide CLECs the ability to perform an MLT after ownership validation, but earlier in the ordering process. CLECs will have the capability to perform an MLT on converted accounts and receive the test results directly after the LSR ID is sent to the CLEC. This enhanced functionality will give MCI the MLT data requested for the product category specified in this change request.

Qwest does provide the requested functionality around POTS products. Using that model, Qwest has determined that the cost associated with the implementation of the requested new functionality for DSL does not demonstrate a business benefit reciprocal to the associated expense. Specifically, Qwest’s full analysis around the hardware and software required to fulfill this request amounts to, at the very least, $7 million for minimal functionality. To fulfill the request in its entirety would amount to $22.5 million.

Scaled Down Functionality Full Functionality One Capable Test Head in all Cos $6,000,000 All Test Heads Capable in all Cos $21,500,000 OSS Upgrades to Operate & Store Data $1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 TOTALS $7,000,000 $22,500,000

Consequently, Qwest is denying your request for SC102803-01, Qwest to perform MLT testing on behalf of the CLEC and provide CLEC results for DSL provisioned services, as the request is economically infeasible.

Sincerely,

Qwest

DRAFT RESPONSE November 12, 2003 RE: SCR102803-01

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of AT&T's Change Request SCR0102803-01. Based upon research that has been conducted following the Clarification meeting (held November 10, 2003) Qwest is still examining the issue. Qwest will continue to research the problem and provide an updated response at the November Systems CMP Meeting.

At the November Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Qwest is interested in the experiences of the CMP community as relates to this issue. Qwest will incorporate any feedback received into further evaluation of this Change Request.

Sincerely, Qwest
