3. Issues before the Commission
Four issues are being considered in Phase 2 of this proceeding:
1. Use of the advice letter process for CLEC involuntary exits from providing local exchange service;
2. Applying the Mass Migration Guidelines adopted in
D.06-10-021 to ILEC voluntary exits;
3. Adopting general principles and limited procedures for CLEC to CLEC/ILEC end-user transfers; and
4. Modifications to the Mass Migration Guidelines adopted in D.06-10-021.
Following the workshop, the first issue concerning involuntary exits was narrowed by general agreement among the parties that AT&T's Proposed Guidelines for CLEC Involuntary Exits from Local Exchange Service Market should be adopted in this proceeding.1 The second issue, applying the Mass Migration Guidelines to ILEC voluntary exits, was narrowed by general agreement among the parties to deferring consideration of ILEC voluntary exit guidelines to a subsequent proceeding after the reverse auction process is resolved. The third issue, adopting general principles and limited procedures for CLEC end-user transfers, was deferred to future discussions and proposals submitted in a consensus position. Modifications to the Mass Migration Guidelines were not discussed at the workshop.
1 AT&T's Proposed Guidelines for CLEC Involuntary Exits are attached to the January 27, 2009 ruling as Attachment A.
