COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS:

--------------------

* Ralph McCray will be stepping down as Co-chair of the Implementation

Committee following the Indianapolis MSA LNP implementation. We would

like to thank Ralph for all his work on this committee! OC Jackson (ATT)

volunteered to co-chair this committee with Tina Zammuto. Doug Kruger

(GTE) will be replacing Tina in the fall while she is out on maternity

leave.

INDIANAPOLIS MSA TESTING:

-------------------------

* GTE has completed its testing.

* Sprint reported that they have successfully completed placing test calls

to all four service providers participating in the Indianapolis MSA test.

* ATT has placed several test calls and plan to retest calls made to the

Time Warner and WorldComm test numbers. Previous attempts were

unsuccessful.

* No report was available from WorldComm.

* Time Warner has completed putting the LNP test number in their switch.

Test calls made to the Time Warner test number should now complete

successfully.

* To date, there are no outstanding problems or issues that have resulted

from the intercompany testing.

* Participants in the Intercompany testing need to issue disconnect orders

to return the test number(s) to the code owner (Ameritech). Orders should

be issued by 6/26/98 with a due date of 6/30/98.

IURC REPORT:

------------

* The Implementation Committee will submit a report to the Commission

outlining the results of the Indianapolis MSA and Cinncinatti MSA

intercompany tests. Submission of the report is targeted for 7/10/98.

* By 6/26, a test result form will be distributed to the service providers

participating in the testing. This form needs to be completed and

returned to Tina or Ralph no later than 7/2/98.

Tina and Ralph will compile the test results and prepare a report.

* A CONFERENCE CALL WILL BE HELD ON JULY 9TH AT 1:30 PM TO REVIEW THE

REPORT. THE CONFERENCE BRIDGE NUMBER IS 618-457-3338.

CODE OPENINGS:

-------------

* Robin Meier explained that ATT was the first service provider to make a

request to Ameritech (in early May) for code openings in the Indianapolis

MSA. The codes will not be opened until 7/7/98. Both McLeod and Time

Warner made code opening requests after ATT. Most if not all of the

NPA-NXX requests made by McLeod and Time Warner were duplicates of ATT's

request.

NEW CODE OPENING PROCEDURES:

-----------------------------

* Robin Meier stated that Ameritech has revised their code opening

process. This procedure has been adopted as the industry standard. The

procedure is outlined in the Midwest Region LNP Industry Operations

Meeting Minutes of 6/15/98. Tina will forward a copy of the minutes to

committee members.

GARY MSA (PHASE 4):

------------------

* Ameritech has 14 offices selected in the GARY MSA and GTE has 3 offices.

Based on the participants at the meeting, we were unable to determine who

the CLECs will be in the GARY MSA. In order to move forward with testing

and implementation plans, Tina will request Mike Guffey's assistance in

sending out a notice to service providers asking that if they have a

desire to test in the GARY MSA that they need to identify themselves by

7/15/98.

LOUISVILLE MSA (PHASE 4):

------------------------

* Ameritech has 3 offices selected in the Louisville MSA and GTE has 1

office. The Louisville MSA Implementation Team has a meeting scheduled

for July 7th in Louisville. Ameritech and GTE will have representation at

that meeting. The committee decided that it makes most sense to work

through the Louisville Implementation Team for testing and implementation

of these southern IN sites.

IURC ORDER #41083, dated June 19, 1998:

---------------------------------------

* In the order, the Commission requests the Indiana Number Portability

Task Force to make recommendations on certain issues. There has been some

confusion among the Implementation Committee members as to whether the

Task Force implies the Steering Committee or the Implementation Committee.

Following the meeting, Bruce Hazelett (Ameritech) observed a footnote on

page 1 of the report that provides clarification to this issue:

" We will continue in this order to refer only to the Task Force and not

to its constituent committees. Committee assignments remain the

preogative of the Task Force and we will not attempt to identify

committees undertaking various reports throughout this investigation,

except to the extent that such reports identify the authorship".

Based on this new information, it appears that the Task Force is

referencing the Steering Committee. Bruce will discuss this will Terry

Appenzeller (Co-chair of the Steering Committee).
