-	Wireline/Wireless Integration Report 

LNPA  is continuing review of cost and time frame for the reduction of the current wireline/wireline porting interval.  Some of the areas of concern that are being investigated include:

•	LSR/FOC Processes – All participant service providers would need to develop/utilize electronic interfaces for LSR/FOC exchange.
•	Batch Processes – Current overnight batch processes used by many service providers would need to be modified to support a more “real time” process.  This would require redesign of many systems.
•	Shorten manual processing times – System automation of additional processes is needed to lessen the need for manual intervention and reduce the porting interval.
•	Disconnect closer to NPAC activation – Possible process for the disconnect order to be triggered by NPAC activation.  This would require major system and switch updates for service providers as well as system updates for the NPAC/SMS.
•	Timer change in NPAC – Current NPAC timer functionality would have to be reduced  to accommodate shorter time intervals for service provider processing.
•	Better Coordination of UNE Orders – Service providers would need to streamline/automate the processing of UNE orders as a prelude to the porting process.

-   NPAC/SMS Release Status

There are no changes in NPAC release status since April meeting.
-	PIM Report

Open Issues:
PIM 0001  - Multi- service provider process flows.  

The  final update of the flows was presented by the OPS team to the LNPA. The LNPA will now review and discuss the flows for possible submission to the OBF.

PIM 0005 – Inadvertent Porting Issue. 

Resolution still under development by LNPA and Neustar.

Pim 0006 – NENA 9-1-1 Database Update Issue.

The LNPA postponed submission of the NENA request discussed in the April meeting to NANC.  Service providers feel more time is needed for investigation into internal issues.
-	Slow Horse Update

The Slowhorse Subcommittee put the final touches on the LSMS Availability Requirement in the May meeting.  The document has been sent to the working group for approval.  A copy of the LSMS Availability Requirement will be sent via letter to NANC prior to the June meeting.  Steve Addicks, Slowhorse Subcommittee Chair, will be present at the June NANC meeting for discussion.
