OC Jackson announced he would have to step down as Co-chair for the Midwest Region LNP Operations Team. We would like to thank Oc for his assistance as Co-chair for the first six months of 1998.

MIDWEST REGION LNP CODE OPENING CHANGE STATUS

Previous action items:

Robin Meier- Identify exceptions - completed- see text below

Robin Meier - Status for effective dates on changes- 3 out of 4 scenarios effective date status completed in advance of ICC steering committee meeting. Research is still needed for the NRD’s prior to 9-1-98. See text.

Reminder: Code opening agreement changes are applicable for all service providers in the Midwest Region based on code holder and switch owner. Agreements were revised to mirror agreements made in other regions for consistency. Ameritech has outlined the schedule, to date, for their switches and codes. All service providers in the Midwest Region should be following/providing equivalent schedules for switches and codes under their control.

TEXT

1. A request for a new NPA-NXX.

Starting June 15, 1998 when Ameritech makes a request for a New NPA-NXX, in addition to following all other industry agreements, the new NPA-NXX will be made LNP portable on the effective date. This presumes the switch is LNP capable, and the NPA-NXX has not been identified as an exception.

When a CLEC requests a new NPA-NXX, via the code administrator, as long as the CLEC appropriately indicates LNP portability on the forms, the NPA-NXX will be made LNP portable on the effective dates. This presumes the switch is LNP capable, NPA-NXX is not an exception, industry agreements are followed, and Ameritech is the code administrator for that NPA-NXX.

This means at the time a New NPA-NXX is requested it will also be made LNP portable on the initial effective date.

2. Selected Switches with a Network Ready date 9-1-98 and beyond.

Effective 9-1-98 any selected switch with a NRD of 9-1-98 and beyond, all qualified NPA-NXX's in that switch will be made LNP portable on the NRD. Qualified NPA-NXX's do not include exceptions.

This means a SP will no longer have to request individual NPA-NXX's for portability in a selected switch scheduled with a Network Ready date after 9-1-98.

3. New switch selection

Effective immediately: When a SP makes a request to have a switch made LNP capable (following industry criteria and guidelines) all qualified NPA-NXX's in that switch will be made LNP portable on the switch NR/effective Date.

4. Selected switches with a Network Ready date prior to 9-1-98.

Ameritech is in the process of determining how many qualified NPA-NXX's this includes in the Ameritech region and how long it will take to go back and make those NPA-NXX's portable. Each service provider should also be making the same determinations for qualified NPA-NXX’s under their control.

In the interim, SPs should continue to request NPA-NXX's in these areas to be made portable following the current procedures.

Includes switches with a Network Ready date prior to 9-1-98: Chicago MSA, Detroit MSA, Cleveland MSA, Indianapolis MSA, Milwaukee MSA, Columbus MSA, Louisville MSA, Springfield offices.

Following is a list of exception codes that would not be LRN portable.

NUMBER POOLING PAPER PROCESS TEST

PRE NPAC (MANUAL) CONTAMINATION FLOW DISCUSSION

Box 1 - Considerable discussion surrounded this box. Box 1 relates to a current industry agreement. Oc Jackson AT&T was not familiar with this agreement and will check on it further. As will other participants who expressed concern or questions.

Box 2 - No comments

Box 3 - Oc Jackson expressed concern on the timeline of this box. On the day Lockeed Martin receives them (blocks), would they be available? Discussion took place on the 10 business day per guidelines when request is sent. It was determined not to add the 10 day guideline to box 3 to avoid additional confusion. However, it was decided to use the same information as the non-contaminated flow box 3.

Box 4. Recipient will perform this via NPAC or donor as they choose.

Box 5 was changed to box 6 - no comment

Box 6 was changed to box 5 - no comment

Box 7 - no comment

Minor changes were made to the proposed flow and the revised flow has been sent under different cover on 6-16-98.

The discussion will continue during the conference call on June 18. It is the goal to finalize the flow during that conference call.
