Last Alternative SPID

Origination Date :07/15/2009

Originator:Neustar

Description:

Business Need:

The existing Alternative SPID parameter (within the OptionalData attribute) was introduced to allow Service Providers having a wholesale business relationship with subtending Service Providers, to identify the subtending Service Provider.  However, since the Alternative SPID was implemented, sometimes the provider having the retail relationship with the end user must be identified in the Alternative SPID parameter.  Because the subtending Service Provider having the wholesale business relationship with the network Service Provider, and the subtending Service Provider having the retail business relationship with the end user, may be different, there is a need to have the ability to separately identify two Alternative SPID values. 

Final Resolution:

Func Backward Compatible:  TBD

Jul ’09 LNPAWG, discussion:

NeuStar presented slides during the May ’09 meeting, and the group indicated a change order needs to be provided. 

Sep ’09 LNPAWG, discussion:

The group agreed to forward the change order on to the NAPM LLC, to request an SOW from NeuStar.

Dec ’09, SOW 76 was approved by the NAPM, and will be implemented during the Feb ’10 timeframe.

This change order adds new parameter within the OptionalData attribute (Last Alternative SPID) to the subscription version and number pool block objects.
