July 3, 1997
Michigan Team, as Dick Dowd has indicated below, we are very concerned
that the attendance and attention to the Detroit MSA has been very
poor. We are proceeding with the current timeline of having LNP
activated on 9/29/97 (same time as
Chicago).
Scot Lewis, I thought Mitch Mitchell was the designated SPOC for
Detroit as well as Chicago, why hasn't he been
participating?!?!?!?!?!
No one is quite sure what is going on with TCG. I will follow up with
Ed Gould and AGAIN with Rick Arzadon. Hopefully they can let us know
who is the assigned TCG SPOC.
Time is getting short and I would hate to jeopardize the Detroit MSA
because the resources are not
available.
It is critical that you contact Dick Dowd or myself on your attendance
at the next Michigan face-to-face meeting scheduled on Friday, July
11. The meeting is scheduled from 8:30 to 12:00 at 350 N. Orleans,
room 412. If you can't attend in person, we have reserved a bridge
(312) 814-8097.
Dick, thanks for getting the meeting minutes out so quickly. Dick can
be reached at (972) 498-5069.
Everyone have a safe and enjoyable
Fourth of July weekend.

Subject: Michigan SPOC Team Weekly
Conference Call 7/03/97
Due to lack of support as evidenced by the lack of participating from
service providers during the Weekly Michigan SPOC Team conference
calls,
I am asking Larry Vasquez to escalate to the Steering Committee in an
attempt
to determine which service providers intend to perform inter-company
testing
in the Detroit MSA.
On Thursday June 26, 1997 the Detroit Single Point Of Contact
Conference Call
was held via conference bridge, 1-800-593-xxxx passcode "xxxx", at
10:00 AM
CST.
The next meeting will be Friday 7/11 9:00 AM CDT at the Ameritech
Training
Center in Chicago located at 350 N Orleans. Team, the room for the
face-to-face meeting is Room 412, and the conference bridge number for
is 312-814-8097. This meeting will be held in conjunction with the
Detroit Implementation Team Meeting to ensure that the Implementation
Team and the SPOC Team are in
sync.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEANS THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A CONFERENCE CALL
ON
THURSDAY 7/10.
Those who took part in today's
call were as follows:

=======================================================================
=======
Attendance/Representation for Detroit has been vary scarce. Each
company
that intends to participate in testing in the Detroit area needs to
have
a representative present on the
SPOC Team Weekly Conference Calls.
As you can determine from the attendance listed above. Of those
service
providers that will be in the Detroit MSA and that are taking an
active
part in the SPOC Team meetings is
Ameritech.
I am asking Larry Vasquez, Chair of the Implementation Team to take
action
to attempt to gain support for the testing effort in Detroit. If
participants
do not intend to test, as in ATT, then their representative should
make this
known to the Test Coordination
Manager, Dick Dowd.
=======================================================================

Bob Bartenstein reported that the earliest date that Detroit based
Ameritech
switches would be ready to actually port test customers is currently
9/8.
Bob didn't rule out the possibility of submitting LSR's for porting
prior
to 9/8 as long as the due date was
not prior to 9/8.
Being that the Michigan PUC mandated that Detroit would turn up
commercial
service at the same time as Chicago, 9/26, this would leave very
little
time for inter-company testing. It is not known what amount of
testing
each participant will wish to perform at this time so there is only a
possibility of a Jeopardy. It is possible that service providers will
only
with to port one or two TNs and then perform a couple of call through
tests
on these TNs. This could probably be taken care of in a two working
week
window. We must keep a close eye
on this area.
Below is a list of Ameritech switches that will be LNP capable by
9/8/97:
CLLI ENGLISH NAME SWITCH TYPE RATE CENTER

Before we decide which switch(s) and NXX(s) we are going to use for
the InterCompany tests we need to know in which rate center(s) SPs
plan
on participating in. Please remember that we can only port numbers in
and out of switches that are in
the same rate center.
ACTION: Each participating service provider that intends to do
any
inter-company testing in the Detroit MSA needs to
determine
within which rate centers their switch does business and
provide that information to Dick Dowd as soon as
possible.
July 11th if at all possible.
RESPONSIBLE: World Com, MCI,
SPRINT and TCG.
STATUS: Assigned July 3, however network forms were distributed
some
time ago and the information was
requested at that time.
General Information:
The rate center for Detroit is
"Detroit 6", Dearborn.
