Discussion

Review of Basic Description section of each and every basic description for consensus. General agreement that group would use past definitions, both industry and regulatory, to extent possible for Basic Description. Where we agree past work is accurate, we should agree; however, if it is two years old, or changed industry positions, we may need to revisit.

Reviewed NENO 2, and reformatted paragraph structure.

Reviewed NENO 4 on D-digit release; added “in each NPA” to the next to last sentence. Also changed “would” to “could” in the last sentence.

Review of NENO 5 determined that UNP and Expanded Overlay could be deleted since they are NENO 11 and 8 respectively. Agreed to supplement/replace Basic Description of 1K block pooling with the FCC definition in the NRPM for Number Resource Optimization (NRO).

Review of NENO 7 struck “Distributed” from Overlay, and made other substantial changes captured by editor.

Review of NENO 8, NENO 9, and NENO 10 amended very little, and agreed that once changes are received from editor, it is complete.

Discussed asking the NANC to approve the Basic Description of each Optimization Measure, so that it will not be reviewed later and up for change.

Penn Pfautz will circulate a Rate Center definition, abstracted from NENO #2, to be used where appropriate in other templates.

Editors’ revisions of templates to reflect changes agreed to in meetings should not show changes marks.

Next Meeting Agenda:

  1. Discussion to close basic description for the contributions.
  2. Conference call on August 2, 2001, noon-2 pm EDT (seeking volunteers for the bridge.)
