Competitive Topics Forum
11/20/03
The meeting began at 10:30 a.m. Updates were provided on several Topics.
Topic B-3 (EMI records show local as access)was the first item discussed. BellSouth
indicated that ITC needed to take the lead on this topic at the OBF; BellSouth and
ITC will discuss.
On Topic O-10 (Single point of contact for EELs problems), Bob Buerosse with Allegiance
indicated that BellSouth's web site was improved and needed information was now
easier to locate and this topic could now be closed.
Topic B-1 (Delays for billing new contract rates), Topic EEL-3 (Credits for EEL
conversions), Topic O-12 (LCSC E-mail process for manual order notices), Topic P-3
(10 digit translations), Topic P-4 (Number reassignments) and Topic PO-2 (Pending
facilities) were discussed briefly but there was no change in their status.
Open issues on Topic PO-1 (End user migration) were discussed at length. Discussion
on Issue 1 (ILEC provision of CSR information for CLEC customers) continued to center
on legal implications of CPNI and Florida statutory confidentiality provisions.
Positions on this issue are generally split with the LECs on one side and the CLECs
on the other about what customer service information should be made available to
the acquiring local provider. No resolution was reached. Issue 2 (Indication on
CSR of termination liability) is supported by a single CLEC and the issue remains
unresolved. Issue 3 (Time frame for providing circuit ID information), and Issue
4 (Reducing time for returning a confirmation from 2 to 1 day one year for CLECs
after rule becomes effective) were closed with an agreement that the circuit ID
should be provided at the same time as the customer service record.
The next meeting of the Forum will be a teleconference scheduled for Monday, December
15, 2003 at 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. The purpose of the teleconference will be to discuss
how to proceed with a draft rule on End User Migration (Topic PO-1).
