Decisions / Recommendations
An Industry Best Practice has been agreed upon to limit the length of time for planned service provider downtime to a maximum of 60 consecutive hours as it relates to Local Number Portability outages. Additionally, Trading Partners should provide 30 days notice of planned porting outages. If 30 days is not possible, a minimum of 14 days notice should be provided.

It is recognized that there may be emergency situations that could require outages within the proposed minimum 14 day planned outage notification window. The Suggested Resolution of PIM 62 is not meant to prevent any required outages under these extreme emergency conditions.
