B. Testing Timeline:
The new timeline was discussed (provided by Dick Dowd), it should be
cautioned that this timeline is approved by the Operations Committee,
the NPAC SMS Committee and the Testing Committee only. The Steering
Committee has not approved of this schedule yet. We expect that there
will be no problem with their acceptance at this time.
(Editor s Note: On conversation with Barry Bishop, 02/17/97, the ICC may
have an issue with calling this an LRN Certification and he will get
back to me on what the ICC would like it called. I was cautioned against
using the term until cleared.)

B. Interconnection:
A major issue has come to light. After compiling the NPA-NXXs that each
of the Illinois Service Providers want to use during the Illinois
LRN/LNP Certification, it appears that none of them are in the same rate
district. Each Service Provider needs to provide information on their
inter-connection arrangements. This will be used to set up the
Certification Topology. It is possible that some of the Service
Providers will not have inter-service arrangements signed and in place
in time for the start of Certification meaning that they will be limited
as to which Service Providers they will be able to port to and from.
C. Items for resolution :
-- How we will interconnect
--`Tandem arrangements
-- Trunking
-- Direct trunks between SP's vs. Tandem trunks (using Ameritech)
-- Rate district breakdown for Chicago LATA for a more concise
view of where service providers can overlap and port in/out.
-- What to do to with SP s which are late (Worldcom won t be
available until 08/15/97) - Assigned Dick Dowd and Bettie Shelby.
IV. Operator Services Update:
Carmen - still working on test scripts. (Bill needs ASAP.)
o getting contact names for all COs sending validation queries to
us.
o mid may time frame hopefully to start testing by Aug 1st will
have 2 VO copies of software hopefully
o planning on installing new OS positions, up by mid July
hopefully for testing
V. 911 Update:
Robin - 911 folks to provide test scripts, being written each CO
will have to decide what tests will need to be done
VI. Document Section Updates:
Bill - noted sections he has updates to. Bill asked for Service
Providers to sign up for the remaining areas of the Certification Plan
that need to have scenarios defined. Still have some open areas. See
below.
A. Items needing scripts, someone to write:
o Provider Interfaces - Barry Bishop
o Failure Scenarios - Walt will provide some default routing
tests
- Not sure what other tests to put here.
o NPA Splits
o Looping Scenarios
(Changes)
o Sections 4.6 and 4.11 will be combined
o Cellular and PCS will be shrunk to a call through test
o Choke Networks - NA in IL. test
o Removing Tones and Ann section
VII. Action Item Review: Noted on hand out. Will be sent separately.
