CLECs were asked to provide consensus input on pending Type 5 initiatives involving migration. CLECs provided Verizon with the following guidance. This chart represents all the potential migration scenarios discussed at the Verizon East Change Management meeting on December 9, Some of these are not currently supported with change requests. Some of the CRs represented here have not yet been rated by the industry and are so noted. A few of these were raised during the CMP meeting and were listed as potential requirements but have no CR supporting them. The CLECs undertook this effort still believing Verizon should act on the priority established in the CMP process, yet understanding that Verizon s request was intended to focus the available Verizon resources on highly rated CRs of a similar nature. This list represents a consensus among CLECs and also details the synergies that CLECs believe exist within the scenarios. These synergies are represented as notations in the Other column. The CLECs request Verizon convene a conference call if there are any required clarifications or if Verizon recognizes that the synergies represented by the CLECs do not exist. Note: Format of chart altered to fit available space. Page 4 of 60 February 2005 CMP Meeting

6 OSS Interface Change Management Meeting Summary 1/13/04 Other Notes: CR CO asks for acceptance of an LSR with Pending Activity. Covad discussed this with Verizon some time ago. The problem was the initial activity was instituted on the retail side, e.g., a customer moving in the same central office district. The result is the data provider gets a loss notification at the time of the move. The inherent problem here is a process problem. Should the retail side be forced to direct the end user to their data provider when they request a move from Verizon? If an end user calls Verizon to move when they have voice service from another carrier what happens? In meeting status, including the Loop Share Product there are 16 scenarios under review. Items 4,5,6 are currently under trial with one CLEC evaluating manual processes to reclassify analog to digital. Action items resulting from discussion include: - VZ request forecast of pent up and normalized demand for reclassify activity to assess need to automate the reclassify process. CLECs are requested to send the forecast to CMP. - CLECs request information on manual process that includes explanation of manual process and job aids - Broadview requested inclusion in manual pilot Items 7,11,12 and new loop share product are under review with goal of deploying in Group discussed product name because of differences between regulatory and CMP terms. Reference to Qwest Loop Split product was recommended. Items 1,2,3 are under review. Initial assessment considered large and complex with no commitment. CLECs encouraged Verizon that scope of line split scenarios not overly broad that line share or loop share scenarios. Items 8,9,10, 14,15 have not yet been reviewed. 2/10/04 The current status per initiative is reported per above.

30 Rank CR#/ Type 0 C Description of CR CLEC Ratings Status/Comments Title: Provide access to resold Customer Service Records via EDI. Overall = STATUS: Deferred Type 5 Description: This initiative requests that Verizon provide access to resold Customer Service Records via EDI, so that LSRs can be populated completely and accurately allowing a port to flow through more quickly and efficiently. Reason: For resold accounts, the CSR information is not available and, as a result, the LSR cannot be completely populated and processed. Having the CSR information for resold accounts will greatly reduce fallout associated with porting and Directory orders.
