PAS Forecasting Work Around Recommendation

• NANC 11-19-2002 Action Item
• NOWG will consider feasibility of work arounds
  so that carriers can obtain number blocks if
  request exceeds PAS forecast.
• Considered the feasibility of work-arounds that
  would allow service providers (SPs) the ability
  to be assigned blocks by PAS even if the quantity
  of blocks requested exceeds the SPs PAS
  forecast.
• Work-around focused on eliminating the need for
  an SP to provide the on the spot forecast
  currently required by PAS when the quantity of
  blocks requested exceeds the embedded PAS
  forecast.
• The NOWG was unable to identify a work-around
  that could be implemented by SPs. However, the
  NOWG did identify a solution that may be easily
  implemented by NeuStar in the short term.
• Recommendation
• PAS should override and auto-update the SPs
  embedded forecast for the current month based
  upon the actual number of blocks requested and
  should discontinue the present practice of
  informing the applicant Resource Request Denied
  Requesting more blocks than forecasted for OCN
  (XXXX). PAS would continue to employ its
  existing logic for pool replenishment, which
  appears to be triggered by forecasts and not by
  block assignments.
