3. Current Activities Monthly Billing and Collections Oversight Monthly Evaluation of Deliverables Red Light Rule: The FCCs Red Light process has been upgraded. It is now more automated therefore timeframes are even more critical and payments not received on time will invoke the Red light process. The provider can be restricted from obtaining additional numbering resources, and from advocating at the FCC. Please make note that notification of Red Light Rule change is included on the backside of Invoices distributed by B&C Agent 3June 7, 2012

4. Contribution Factor The B&C-WG has long held the practice, as stewards of the factor from a fiscal perspective, on behalf of the industry, and in concern for the continued availability and best management of number resources, to carefully control the impact of factor changes. Thus, in seeking the optimal solution for the 2012-2013 budget, with the least impact to industry participants budgets and run rates, and with careful management of the fiscal needs for covering the numbering administrator contractual funding requirements.

5. Contribution Factor Updates March – NANC mtg: Funding factor of 0.000021. This option left the $750,000 in the surplus account which represents the contingency provision. April - We revised the contribution factor to 0.0000217, to accommodate the difference between our draft budget from the overall revenue generated from the USAC forecast. May – We revised the contribution factor again, to 0.0000254, based on the need to increase the contingency from $750,000 to 1.5M. THANK YOU NANC members for your quick turn around in providing company position. June 7, 20125
