Meeting start at 08:30:



1) Overall Test Plan status



Bill, MCI, stated that the existing issue 1 is the final issue1. All

changes from now on will go into issue2. Added AT&T s Local and IXC

drawings and Ameritech s AIN Call flow drawings to Appendix A. Added to

www.cameos.com/lnp area.



Dick Barton, SW Bell, asked if the next draft would make a better

distinction between IXC and local test cases? Bill, MCI, stated that the

test cases do make the distinction. 



Also, Bill stated that the next issue will do a consolidated Table of

Contents which better defines the break out of sections.



2)  Test Interval



Dick Dowd, MCI, questioned the interval as 07/01/97 to 09/01/97. OC,

AT&T stated that the 08/15 to 09/01 interval was for cleanup, removal of

test numbers, retest, etc. We will treat the entire two months as the

interval and not differentiate the last two weeks.



Walt, AIT,  stated that, from Barry Bishop - Operations chair, the NANC

process flow compromises will probably impact the NPAC availability date

and push it out to 07/24/97. We will use this as the working assumption

and look at the new test dates as 07/28/97 to 09/26/97 with the report

taking 3 weeks (10/17/97). If it can be done earlier, we will.



Dick, MCI, motioned to change the name of the inter-company test

interval to "LRN Certification test" to remove the misconception that

this is a trial and enforce that TCs must be ready by 07/28. (editor s

note: The major focus is on the inter-company part and not on the

technology itself).



Carmen, AIT, stated that the operator services software for AIT, from

Nortel, will be VO on 07/19 at Wabash. AIT is working on getting two

other Operator Switches in the Chicago MSA. Also, Carmen will be

coordinating the validation queries for the Ameritech network as well as

for the inter-company certification.



3)  Inter-company test topography



The next face to face meeting (Feb 13) will spend much time on this

subject.

• Need to determine who has facilities into whom for the proposed rate

districts/NPA-NXXs for the individual companies.

• Will we have interconnection agreements between each of the companies

to allow porting of numbers as well as the usage of unbundled ports,

etc.

• How do the proposed NPA-NXXs line up with each company?
• Need point codes for STPs (gateways) and end offices, office CLLI

codes, actual DNs, etc.



4)  911 Discussion



Andy Chalk, Sprint-Centel, brought up discussion about 911 tandem

interconnection between Sprint-Centel and Ameritech. Walt, AIT, asked

Andy to send e-mail to Barry Bishop, Operations chair, to be discussed

at the 911 Adhoc team meeting on 01/29/97. He agreed.



Note: Nancy DeRoo, AIT, will be sending updated test scripts to Walt,

who will forward to Bill, MCI, for inclusion in Issue 2 of the document.
