The poll for 9/29/97 readiness are as follows:

GTE No, per Sam Mehta, February 1998

MCI Yes (Jim Joerger)

Teleport Yes (Rick Arzadon)

Worldcom/MFS Yes (Scot Lewis)

Jim Joerger raised the issue of why we need to get an update on the

readiness of all new entrants at the beginning of every meeting. We

seemed to all agree, and for subsequent meetings we will assume all

new entrants to be ready on 9/29/97 unless we are told otherwise.

Regarding GTE not being ready until February 1998.

Larry Vasquez is to check with Terry Appenzeller (Ameritech - Steering

Committee Chair) and determine the appropriate protocol for notifying

the MPSC of the anticipated delay of GTE.

Larry Vasquez will also notify Sam Mehta that a letter may need to

written to Terry or directly to the MPSC regarding their delay.

Michigan Testing

Dick Dowd did an overview of the testing activities that he will

coordinate in Michigan. Some of the tests will be state specific.

Barry Bishop is to review the test plan and list what tests and we

will have to perform in Michigan versus Illinois. He will also

outline why the tests will be required in Michigan. He hopes to get

the list of tests out to all new entrants within the next week.

Dick recommended that each company assign a Single Point of Contact

SPOC) for him to work with directly during the Michigan tests. The

dedicated resources are as foloes:

Ameritech Bob Bartenstein

AT&T Larry Vasquez to supply name by 5/14/97

Pam Overly MCI

Mitch Mitchell Worldcom/MFS

Teleport Unknown (LV to check)

The SPOC's will work with Dick Dowd and have planning conference calls

and provide the following for the tests:

Telephone Numbers for testing

SSN's (Sub System Numbers)

Trunk Translations

Point Codes

Etc.

Dick recommended that a tentative date to begin testing in Michigan is

August 18 through September 29, 1997

Revised Pick From List

Regarding the revised pick from list. Larry Vasquez is to contact

Terry Appenzeller and determine how to obtain a data aggregator. Bill

Celio (MPSC) has rejected our request to aggregate the data.

As of 5/13/97 Terry A. made arrangements to have Brent Struthers

(Illinois Commerce Commission) handle the neutral third party

aggregation. Lists will be due to Brent on June 6, 1997 during our

next meeting in Chicago.

A conference call has been established, for all CLEC's to discuss the

format and timeline for new pick from list submittals to Brent. The

conference call is scheduled for Friday, May 16, from 9:00 - 10:00

Central Time. The bridge number is

334-264-8326, the participant code is 412-739

911 Testing

Regarding the 911 Update. Nancy DeRoo will contact Walt Subora

(Ameritech) for an updated list of 911 tests. She will advise Dick

and test team SPOC's as required.

Nancy again raised the issue regarding all new entrants having a

contract for network routing with Ameritech, Making sure all new

entrants can bill operational surcharges, provide trap and trace

capabilities, correct ANI failures, etc. This should be handled and

answered by each companies SPOC.

Other tests will be to perform company-to-company testing for LSR's.

In addition, the 911 testing procedures with what telephone numbers

we test, when we test for 911 calls and when we schedule the testing

will be managed by each companies SPOC and Dick Dowd and address some

of the following open issues

* When/how/what numbers do we test

* How do we test for ANI failures

* How do we handle default routing testing

* Will each vendor be able to determine surcharges

* We will need to test before and after the ALI database update

* We will have to test calls to the NXX holder

* How will call transfers between PSAP's be managed

* Trunking for vendors to 911 routing by rate center

* Etc./Etc. As you can tell lots of 911 issues to be resolved

New Entrant Handbook

Barry Bishop updated the team on a new entrant handbook that was

recently developed by the Sub-Committee Chairpersons in the Chicago

Trial. The chairs met in Dallas, Texas (hosted by Jim Joerger, MCI)

to develop a handbook that all new entrants could use as a LNP

guideline. Barry passed out copies and will be used as a tool for

future entrant procedures. John Shea stated that new entrants in

Michigan will be handled by Lockheed on a case by case basis.
