PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 38 dated January 14, 2005
• This change order contains several PAS users
  suggestions to enhance the productivity of PAS.
• The seven (7) proposed enhancements to PAS
  contain ideas suggested by PAS users. They range
  from the user being able to re-set their password
  (without having the PA do it) to a disclaimer
  that a preferred block might not be available by
  the time the application is processed to adding
  Part 3 and Part 4 reminder notifications to PAS. 
• This is a change in the scope of programming for
  PAS and as such the NOWG recommends that this
  change order be approved so that the industry
  will benefit from being able to enhance the
  usability of PAS for the SP.

PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 39 dated February 18, 2005
• This change order proposes that PAS be modified
  to provide two Part 4 reports, similar to the
  Part 4 reports that carriers can presently
  obtain from the NAS.
• Currently there is no Thousands-Block Part 4
  Report in PAS for either assignments needing Part
  4s or those Part 4s that have already been
  submitted. The PA submitted Change Order 25
  (Thousands-Block Part 4 Report) previously to
  establish some kind of Part 4 report in PAS. The
  PA also submitted Change Order 34 (SP
  Enhancement Modify Part 1A Report) after a
  service provider sent in a suggestion to add a
  column to the Part 1A report that would have the
  Part 3 effective date in it. Change order 34 was
  an attempt to establish some sort of Part 4
  report. After reviewing both change orders, the
  NOWG did not recommend approval for either 25 or
  34, but did recommend that the PA submit another
  change order containing the NOWG recommendations
  from 25 34. The PA has taken the NOWG
  recommendations on both previous change orders
  and has incorporated those recommendations into
  the current change order (39). After reviewing
  this change order, the NOWG recommends that this
  change order be approved.

NeuStar Board of Director Additions

• On January 28, 2005, NeuStar notified the
  Wireline Competition Bureau, Federal
  Communications Commission via Letter, regarding
  the addition of two (2) new members to the
  NeuStar Board of Directors. Chairman Atkinson
  directed the NOWG to consider this request on
  behalf of the NANC the same day. The NOWG has
  been tasked with providing feedback to the NANC
  of any perceived issues regarding the contents of
  this notification.
• The NOWG considered this request and asked
  NeuStar questions as to the additional BOD
  members qualifications for Neutrality and
  Independence. NeuStar responded that the new
  Board members were consistent with the NeuStar
  Safe Harbor Order, and that they are not employed
  by any of the entities appearing on the FCCs
  list of Telecommunications services, they also
  reiterated that the Board members have signed the
  appropriate NeuStar neutrality compliance
  certifications, certifying their adherence to the
  NeuStar Code of Conduct.
• The majority of the NOWG did not identify any
  perceived issues.

Status NANPA and PA 2004 Performance Surveys

• The NANPA and PA surveys were distributed via
  bulk e-mail by the NANPA and PA administrators as
  well as posted to each of their web sites. The
  NARUC and the INC sent notices via their
  distribution channels.  All parties sent reminder
  e-mails.
• The response due date was March 4th, and because
  of continuedinterest in participation and the
  fact survey's are still being submitted,the
  cut-off date has been extended until March 31st.
• We are in the process of gathering the results,
  creating a matrix ofrespondents and tallying the
  ratings and comments.
