NUMBER POOLING

Three issues were discussed in today’s meeting:

1.

The manual contamination flow agreement for aging needs to be changed. Previously the team agreed to extend aging for disconnected numbers to November 1, 1998.

The number pooling feature in release 1.4 will not be turned on until 1-19-99, with testing scheduled to complete 2-1-99. The group discussed a new date to extend aging. Two dates were discussed 2-1 and 2-15. It was decided to target 2-15 as the date to extend the aging of disconnected numbers, to allow for slipping of target dates. It was noted that we needed to have more of the number pooling participants to reach final agreement. Please plan to attend the next conference call to discuss and finalize this issue. It was also noted that in many cases this extends the aging period beyond normal time frames. Discussion felt this effected a small number of lines and was still the best solution.

2.

Disconnected pooled numbers. In the original October timeline no special arrangements were agreed to regarding numbers which disconnect in the pooled blocks. Three plus months have been added to the timeline and there is a greater potential for numbers to disconnect and will require special handling for aging. The team discussed the need for an agreement where companies will review the pooled blocks to monitor disconnects and manually give them the new aging time period. We need to determine if this is the best method, and how often a review should be conducted. Once a month, twice a month, once a week?

3.

LERG 1000 blocks indicator for 847. The LERG modification for the 1000 block indicator is not available until March 1999. Discussion took place for how this affects the 847 area. Questions discussed included:

1. 1. Who’s keeping track of the 847- 1000’s blocks to input in the LERG in March ’99?
   2. What do we do until March ’99? How does the industry know who has which 1000 blocks?
   3. Is record an individual company responsibility or will Lockheed Martin keep this information on the WEB site until March 99? Is the solution a combination of Lockheed Martin and individual company. Will companies have the information required to track?

It was decided we need to discuss this issue and come to common agreement.

These issues will be discussed on the next conference call.

LAW ENFORCEMENT UPDATE

A brief report out of the National Law Enforcement meeting was presented. Meeting minutes will be distributed when they become available.

ICC AGENDA ITEM for OCTOBER 1 MEETING

Brent Struthers ICC would like for companies to be prepared to report rollout schedules for code openings at the ICC meeting on October 1. Brent would like clarification from all companies on the code opening status. Example of items to be clarified: How are you handling code opening? Are all of your company codes LNP capable? If not, what is your schedule for rollout? General clarification on the whole issue.

OTHER DISCUSSIONS

Darin Liston gave a brief impromptu report from the WWISC (Wireline Wireless Integration Sub Committee) meeting.

At the meeting primarily the NANC flows were reviewed. Other key discussion items included:

Query differences

• • • • 911 will identify correctly to PSAP, callback problem may go to the wrong place.

        OBF- LSR forms/process

        Statement of work for NPAC. WWISC wants enhancements included in release 2. There concern is there won’t be enough time to test, as they have a flash cut. (Note: On this call it was thought that release 2 was closed.)

        Wireless to Wireline has agreed to the time frames for wireline.

        Wireline to Wireless time frames are not agreed to. Wireless feels they want to be able to program the phone at the time the customer is in the store, not ask the customer to come back at a later date.

NEXT MEETING

Please review the dates at the top of the minutes and respond with availability for the next meeting.
