The issues and outcomes are summarized in Attachment A.1
Within seven days from today, SBC-CA and MCIm shall jointly file an ICA which conforms to the orders herein. Parties shall each separately file a document identifying the tests to be used by the Commission in considering approval or rejection of the conformed ICA, and stating whether the Commission should approve or reject the ICA.
