  2. Mission Statement / Area of Responsibility • The Billing and Collection Agent Oversight Working Group (B&C WG) was formed by and reports to the North American Numbering Council (NANC) and is responsible for overseeing the performance of the functional requirements provided by the North American Numbering Plan Billing and Collection Agent (B&C Agent). • The B&C WG will investigate/review the performance of the B&C Agent and submit reports at each NANC meeting to fully inform NANC of the B&C Agent’s performance with respect to the functional requirements. • The B&C WG will identify and determine the financial impact, feasibility and/or the appropriateness of initiatives/activities that may need to be included in the budget.

  3. Current Activities/Discussion Topics • Monthly Billing and Collections Oversight • Monthly Evaluation of Deliverables • Red Light Rule Process • B&C Agent Contract

  4. Red Light Rule • The Red Light Rule process was updated in 2012, has been implemented for a year. The B&C Agent does not send the overdue invoices to the FCC as was the previous process. The B&C Agent now provides the updates to the red light system directly on a daily basis.   Now instead of the FCC having to collect the funds and send to the B&C Agent, the funds are collected directly by the B&C Agent. The process is streamlined now and working well. • Note that once in the red light process, access to numbering resources is blocked. This new automated process means delay in provider’s processes for payment could put them in the red light process sooner.

  5. Contract Renewal • The contract expired October 1, 2009. Welch LLP received an 8 month interim contract which includes a 2 1/2 month transition which will cover the period from April 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013.
