3. Project: VoIP Assignment Criteria
Tasked with development of potential assignment criteria for VoIP providers so that they could obtain numbering resources directly from NANPA.
The FoN needs to extend the time needed to complete its report on the criteria for VoIP providers to be directly assigned numbering resources.
Request that the FoN NANC due date be extended until the July 2005 NANC meeting.
The document will be sent to the NANC as soon as it is completed.

4. Project: NANC LNPA Change Order 399 & 400 Report
Tasked with reviewing 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 NPAC software release per the LNPA-WG’s recommendation
The FoN reviewed the change orders from two perspectives: (1) being coded into the NPAC release but not activated as well as; (2) if they were coded and activated along with the entire new NPAC release package
The FoN did not see any distinguishing characteristics when considering the change orders policy, regulatory and consumer concerns and therefore its analysis was considered to be the same whether the change orders were activated or not.
It was determined that the best approach to analyze the two change orders was to separate them and conduct separate evaluations.
