Hi Team,
Attached is the T1S1 meeting information for those of you that can attend. This morning I had conversations with Wayne Zeuch, Chairman of T1S1 to discuss the upcoming T1S1 meeting in Dallas and how he envisioned the Nation LNP Billing Forum would fit.
It appears that T1S1 will convene on Monday and develop recommendations throughout the week that will establish a new "Working Group" for LNP under T1S1 (probably T1S1.6, this will be the Work Group dedicated to LNP). They anticipate the NLBF will to become a "Sub-working Group" of the T1S1.6 to handle billing related issues.
He expects the new committee to begin work immediately on establishing the LNP Work Group, elect officers, outline the work that needs to be done, and actually begin working on requirements. The actual establishment of the Work Group will not take place until the end of the week but work can proceed as an Ad Hoc Work Group until the LNP Work Group is made official.
The new LNP Work Group will actually consist of all members of any Sub Working Group under it. It is for this reason he would like as many NLBF people there as possible to answering any question that arise in reference to billing and aid in the establishment of the Work Group.
Debi and I discussed scheduling a conference call on Nov 12th prior to the meeting to discuss how all of this is to layout and to get input from the group as to how to proceed. I plan to attend and have attached the neccessary information make your reservations. Due to the short notice I don’t expect all of you will be in attendance please consider going if at all possible.
