  1. Law Enforcement

 

Team discussed issues from the Law Enforcement meeting hosted by the Illinois Commerce Commission on 12/16/97. Action items were assigned and items should be available for the next LE meeting on 1/29/98 @ ICC 09:00 8th floor.

 

Discussions regarding the 24/7 telephone number contact for new entrants. Law enforcement wants to have a number, 24 hours a day for all service providers to have for calls in the event of an emergency.

 

Names on a subpoenas are also in question. Can the subpoenas say that whoever is the Local carrier is responsible for providing MUD and notification if the service is disconnected.

 

SPs will need verification numbers of the person that is calling in to make sure it is a legitimate call from a law enforcement person.

 

Brent stated that T1S1 may be the best course of action for national decisions.

 

Reviewed the 9 questions in preparation for the meeting on the 29th.

2. NPAC NPA Split Software

 

Larry Vasquez updated the team on the NPA Split Software from Lockheed Martin. Also, noted that general availability date is still not certain due to Cost Recovery issues.

 

3. Number Pooling /Pre-Port Process Flows

 

Flows are available on www.ported.com website dated 12/17/97. Robin Meier will talk with Donna Navickas regarding updating flows from this meeting.

 

Page two, has two block 9’s - Check with Donna

 

Page two, block removed stating" After effective date - Complete End Office switch translations work after NPAC down load" - Per H.L./OC, this is part of the NANC process flows and could impact customers. This box should be added back on the process flows.

 

Check on proper indication of asterisks on all pages and whether it is referenced in the right box.

 

May not require note or asterisks if changes in box two are made to reflect that NPA-NXX’s should be open to portability and proper assumption is added to last page.

 

Add in box two, after available ranges "open to portability"

 

Add to notes on page 5 to include a new 1) that ALL NPA-NXXs must be open to portability in the NPAC, Local Carrier systems, and LERG

 

Effective dates in notes 9, 10 and 11 are confusing. May need to clarify in the future.

 

There is a reference to note 12 in the process flows. However, there is not a note 12 on page 5!!!

 

Check on notes 9, and 10. Nine is five business days and ten is eight business days ( automated????)

 

4. St. Louis MSA

 

All requests for number portability have been removed in the St. Louis area. Therefore, no LNP testing is required in St Louis for Phase II. Brent will publish a new list with no switches for the ILL side of the St Louis MSA selected.

 

The next LNP Operations meeting will be on March 9, 1998 at 9:00am
