LNPA WORKSHOP • PA contract inhibits timely changes to process improvements and is inflexible relative to the change order process • The PA contract is based on the INC Guidelines/Forms in effect on Sept. 9, 2000. • For example, the ability to add a “remarks” field on PAS mechanized forms is hampered by the change order process • INC and PA continue to improve industry processes • Some PAS upgrades require additional funding, such as adding a “remarks” field • Frustration with implementing current change orders in PAS because state trial processes were more flexible
CO/NXX WORKSHOP • INC discussed at length the input received from state regulators on Issue 322 - Removal of Switch ID. Although the issue remains in initial closure, INC has concluded that the Switch ID field should be removed because: • FCC rules mandate assignments at the rate center level, not the switch level; • Switch ID is an artifact from the days when assignments were made at the switch level and is no longer used in the assignment of a Central Office code; • SPs may move numbers between switches within a rate center to balance resources, therefore rendering the original Switch ID moot; and • State regulators have other ways to obtain Switch ID information, e.g., TRA, CCMI, NECA FCC Tariff No. 4 and other vendor products.
CO/NXX WORKSHOP • NANC LNPA Working Group provided further clarification relative to PIMs 14 & 15 which the INC is working within Issue 364 - Modifications to Procedures for Code Holders/LERG Assignee Exit • INC approved interim procedures for returning non-pooled codes with active or pending TNs (detailed in the NANPA report)
NANPE Workshop • NANP Expansion Reference Document • Final Closure expected at July INC meeting • July NANC meeting precedes July INC meeting • NANC briefing on Reference Document in September • INC requests NANC members submit questions, in writing, prior to September meeting.
