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 FCC’s 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 continued
interest 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 of
respondents and tallying the ratings and comments.
