-  LNP Problem Identification and Management 
The PIM sub-team presented their draft process flows, issue submittal forms, issue tracking forms and scope to the body of the LNPA WG.  There was some modifications made to the draft forms by the WG prior to the acceptance of the forms.  One issue had been submitted to the WG using the draft forms by SBC.  This issue was reviewed and accepted by the WG to be worked.  It was also decided to have the PIM become a standing agenda item with a fixed start on the WG agenda (Tuesday @ 2:00pm).  This was done so that any party who submitted an issue would be able to be present either in person or via conference call to support their issue.  It was proposed that letters be submitted to the NANC, various industry organizations and the regional operations teams to socialize the process.  The WG will evaluate the need for further socialization based on feedback from the initial letters.

-  Wireline/Wireless Integration Report 
	
The LNPA WG 2nd Report on Wireless/Wireline Integration was submitted to the NANC at the last meeting.  The Co-chairs are prepared to address any questions the NANC might have regarding that report.

-  NPAC/SMS Release Status 

There was a point release for 1.4 issued the 15th of August.  This was to correct a problem with the way the NPAC was receiving queries from service providers. The NPAC was blocking queries from service providers.  There was a change made to prevent this from occurring (1.4.0.6).  This will also be applied to 2.0.  2.0 was installed in the Midwest region the 15th of August as well (2.0.1.3) and went live on the 16th.  No major problems have been identified at this time.  The SOW for release 3.0 has been accepted and work has begun on release 3.0.  Y2K  - 2.0 has been certified in the lab, the entire NPAC will be re-certified after 2.0 has been installed in all the regions.

-  Slow Horse Update

•	The Slow Horse update will be given by Steve Addicks, Chair of the sub-committee.
