Description Of Change

Integra requests that CenturyLink add a CLLI code search option to the CLEC Badge Access Request website. Currently the system has an option to search by “Building ID”, however, the CLEC community does not use Building ID. In addition, CenturyLink bills charges associated with access badges using the CLLI code. The CLLI code is an industry standard code that the CLEC community uses to easily identify central offices. Adding this field would allow the CLEC to quickly identify the central office they need access to.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): To be able search by CLLI code under Building Search in the CLEC Badge Access web site.

Project Meetings

FROM 8/17/16 System CMP Meeting Minutes Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said this was the other CR of the two new System CRs presented by Electric Lightwave last month associated with the CLEC Badge Access Request process. Mark then reviewed the CenturyLink Draft Response that was sent on August 11, 2016 and said that based on further investigation by the CenturyLink SME team, CenturyLink accepts this CR and believes this CR should also be crossed over to Product Process. At this time, the proposed effective date would be early October 2016. Mark asked if Electric Lightwave was OK to Cross this CR over to Product Process.

Kim Isaacs - Electric Lightwave said historically, that has occurred with web functionality CRs but Electric Lightwave disagrees that web functionality is Product Process vs. Systems. Kim said that they agree to disagree on this but, with that noted, is OK to cross the CR over.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said based on that, the CR will be a Cross over CR next month.

Bonnie Johnson – MN Dept of Commerce asked why web functionality is being addressed by CenturyLink as Product Process. She said she agrees with Electric Lightwave that it has always been Systems.

Susan Lorence – CenturyLink said the reason is that a Systems CR has a longer implementation/notification cycle than a Product Process CR. Also, a system CR would require CenturyLink to use some of the allotted system hours for the year and that was not needed for this CR. Susan also referenced the existing Level 2 Product Process Change Category that CenturyLink felt best fit this type of change: • Changes to eliminate/replace existing Web functionality will be available for twenty-one (21) days until comments are addressed. (Either a demo or screen shot presentation will be available at the time of the notification for evaluation during the twenty-one (21) day cycle.) Susan said this type of web update is not like a web change to a GUI. She said that type of CR would have to remain a System CR and asked if that explanation helped.

Bonnie Johnson – MN Dept of Commerce said thank you.

Mark Coyne – CenturyLink asked if there were any other comments and asked Kim if she wanted to keep the comment that they disagreed with this approach.

Kim Isaacs - Electric Lightwave said yes, she believes web functionality should be a system change.

SUBJECT: Change Request PC070816-2X, CenturyLink Updated Response for Review

This letter includes an updated response to Electric Light Wave/Integra’s Crossover Change Request PC070816-2X, entitled “Add CLLI code (8 digit) option for Building Search to the CLEC Badge Access Request Website”.

CR Description: Integra requests that CenturyLink add a CLLI code search option to the CLEC Badge Access Request website. Currently the system has an option to search by “Building ID”, however, the CLEC community does not use Building ID. In addition, CenturyLink bills charges associated with access badges using the CLLI code. The CLLI code is an industry standard code that the CLEC community uses to easily identify central offices. Adding this field would allow the CLEC to quickly identify the central office they need access to.

Updated CenturyLink Response: During the August CMP monthly meeting, CenturyLink reviewed the Draft response which stated that the Change Request was accepted for implementation. The CenturyLink response also recommended that the CR be crossed over to a Product Process CR to implement the enhanced web functionality to the CLEC Badge Access Request Website. At that time, the proposed effective date was to be early October 2016.

After discussion in the monthly meeting, it was agreed that CenturyLink would note the concerns expressed by Electric Light Wave/Integra and could then crossover the CR to Product Process PC070816-2X. After further analysis, the CenturyLink SME team has revised the proposed effective date and is planning to implement the CLLI code (8 digit) Building Search option in the CLEC Badge Access Request Website with an effective date of November 1, 2016.

Sincerely,

Susan Lorence CenturyLink Wholesale CR Project Manager
