II. MEETING ATTENDEES

A list of the meeting attendees is attached.

  1. III. FOLLOW UP FROM LAST MEETING

At the August 16, 1996 meeting a schedule had been agreed to for developing an implementation plan. Based on this schedule, the new entrants were to identify to an independent consultant, the exchanges that they want to enter by September 19, 1996. (Letter from Stan Sallier, dated September 4, 1996.)

For a variety of reasons only one Competing LEC (AT&T) had submitted it's list of Exchanges as of this meeting. As this effort is critical for determining the cost of implementing LNP for the State of Indiana as requested by the IURC on November 8, 1996, the task force agreed to:

  1. 1. establish a revised schedule 2. submit a preliminary progress report to the IURC on November 8, 1996 3. request an extension for the cost estimate due to the IURC. The requested date would be January 8, 1997.

The following revised schedule was agreed to:

10/21/96: New entrants to identify by MSA, exchanges they want to enter. These lists

are to be sent to Brad Behounek, an independent third party consultant, at:

Brad Behounek
