V.  **Summary of the Meeting.**

**A. NANC Future of Numbering Working Group (FoN WG) Report and
Recommendation on NANC Change Orders 399 and 400.** Hoke Knox, Co-Chair,
presented the report to the NANC.

Mr. Knox provided the following background for NANC Change Orders 399
and 400:

The NANC at its March 15, 2005 meeting tasked the FoN WG with reviewing
the NANC Local Number Portability Administration (LNPA) Change Orders
399 and 400 to identify and analyze all policy, regulatory or consumer
issues with having them coded into the next Number Portability
Administration Center (NPAC) software release. The FoN WG reviewed the
Change Orders from two perspectives: (1) being coded into the release
but not activated and, (2) if they were coded and activated along with
the entire release package. It was determined that the best approach to
analyze Change Orders 399 and 400 was to separate them and conduct
separate evaluations.

The FoN WG determined that Change Order 399 did not have any policy,
regulatory or consumer impacts; and recommended that it should proceed
per the recommendation from the NANC LNPA Working Group.

The FoN WG was unable to reach consensus as to any conclusions or
recommendations for the treatment of Change Order 400. Accordingly, the
NANC, at its May 17, 2005 meeting, requested that parties supporting or
opposing Change Order 400 provide additional information for the NANC's
consideration in order for it to determine a recommended solution for
Change Order 400.

Chairman Atkinson inquired as to whether any of the NANC members had
changed their pro or con position. There were no changes in position.
Anna Miller, T-Mobile, USA, suggested that the NANC forward the NANC
Report and Recommendation as it has been presented to the FCC. John
Jefferson, SBC, agreed.

Adam Newman, Telcordia, submitted a revision to Section 4.2 of the
Report and Recommendation, along with a minor revision of the Con
Section headings. No NANC members were opposed to Mr. Newman's additions
to the Report Recommendation.

There was a NANC consensus to forward the Report and Recommendation on
NANC Change Orders 399 and 400 to the FCC. Chairman Atkinson agreed to
prepare a cover letter indicating that the NANC was able to reach a
consensus on Change Order 399, and that the NANC was unable to reach a
consensus on Change Order 400.

Chairman Atkinson advised that there is no change in the status of the
Change Orders 399 and 400. He advised that the FCC's directive that both
Change Orders be held in abeyance remains in effect and no action should
be taken on either Change Order until further FCC direction is received.
Regina Brown, Designated Federal Officer, agreed.

Chairman Atkinson asked the FoN WG to keep track of the total person
hours worked on this issue so that he could forward the information to
the FCC.

Robert Nelson, NARUC, Michigan, announced that his term ends on Friday,
July 1, 2005. Chairman Atkinson thanked Commissioner Nelson, on behalf
of the NANC, for his work on the NANC.

**B. Public Participation.** None.

**Next Regular Meeting: July 19, 2005**
