  3. About INC • The Industry Numbering Committee (INC) provides an open forum to address and resolve industry-wide issues associated with planning, administration, allocation, assignment and use of North American Numbering Plan (NANP) numbering resources within the NANP area. • Membership • To become a member of INC or ATIS, see http://www.atis.org/membership/become.asp. • To understand how INC operates, see http://www.atis.org/legal/OP.asp

  4. INC Meetings • Meetings • Since the previous NANC meeting, INC held one face-to-face meeting from July 29-31, 2014, and interim meetings on July 23 and August 26, 2014. • An INC meeting is being held this week in Washington, DC.

  5. Issue 748: Assess Impacts on Numbering Resources and Numbering Administration with Transition from Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to Internet Protocol (IP) • INC has drafted a response to the FCC regarding the impacts of large-scale rate center consolidation during the transition from PSTN to IP. • Outlined positive and negative impacts of large-scale rate center consolidation • Documented impacts to carriers networks and systems • Identified that regulatory changes would be necessary • Concluded that, given the complexities related to large-scale rate center consolidation, it is premature to develop a plan for implementation. However, as carriers’ network architecture and the market drives the need for such consolidation, the industry and regulators should work collaboratively to develop a plan.

  6. Issue 762: CO codes assigned/transferred only to providers who own switching facilities • When a Central Office (CO) code is assigned and the Part 1 has an invalid Switching Entity or Point of Interconnection, the CO code cannot be built in iconectiv'sBusiness Integrated Routing & Rating Database System (BIRRDS). This can result in: • Delays that affect other service providers with blocks from that code. • More red blocks in the pool. • Stranded numbers if there is no regulatory direction to reclaim the code. • INC has modified the guidelines to expand verification that the switching ID/POI is valid for an NPA-NXX assignmentand is built in BIRRDS.
