LATE FILED. On March 3, 2005, Tony F. DiStefano, Chief Executive Officer of Arrival Communications Company, met with Tim Sullivan, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, and Karen Miller, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich; and, on March 4, 2005 - Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in three separate meetings in San Francisco. DiStefano discussed the three pending proposed decisions and stated his support of the separate treatment of DS1/DS3 loop true-up for those carriers with ICA amendments for such true-ups. DiStefano questioned the basis for SBC's claim that there was a legitimate dispute over whether the Federal Communications Commission TRO Interim Rules rendered contractual true-up null and void.

DiStefano requested that the Commission reconsider granting a partial waiver of the true-up in this proceeding, despite the lack of such a waiver in the proposed decision and the alternate decisions. DiStefano stated that Arrival supports there being no offset between the true-up for UNE within the scope of this proceeding, and contractual true-up provisions for DS1/DS3 loops contained in SBC's interconnections agreements (ICAs). DiStefano expressed support for the retroactive application of the permanent common/shared cost factor, once that factor is ordered in A04-03-013. DiStefano urged the Commission to oversee closely the true-up process and be prepared to intervene expeditiously in the event of any party's abuse of the ICA dispute resolution processes.

DiStefano suggested that the Commission reconsider the refusal to consider any waiver of a true up, as now contained in the proposed and alternative decision drafts. DiStefano supported no offset between true up for UNE elements within the scope of A01-02-024, and contractual true up provisions for DS1/DS3 loops contained in SBC ICAs. DiStefano recommended that, while any true up billing disputes and payments may be governed by ICA dispute resolution provisions, the Commission needs to stay involved and be ready to intervene in the event of any party's abuse of the ICA dispute resolution processes. DiStefano supported the retroactive application of the permanent common/shared cost mark up factor.

Peevey, in two separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present was Richard Severy, Director of MCI, and, in the meeting with Lester Wong - Chris Poschl, interim advisor.

Harrelson made clear that while MCI took no position on the issue of the SBC UNE Pricing "true-up" for the period of time before September 23, 2004, MCI was a party to and was very interested in proper Commission implementation upon remand of the mandate of the 9th Circuit. Harrelson stated that there is inadequate notice and an inadequate record to determine finally or prospectively compliance with the 9th Circuit remand in the "true-up" phase of this proceeding.
