CISC Canadian Steering Committee on Numbering - Consensus report CNRE110A regarding changes to certain guidelines

  1. In CISC Canadian Steering Committee on Numbering - Consensus report CNRE106A, Telecom Decision CRTC 2014-603, 20 November 2014 (Telecom Decision 2014-603), the Commission approved the elimination of the split and boundary realignment area code relief methods from the Canadian NPA [Numbering Plan Area] Relief Planning Guideline.
  2. On 28 January 2015, the Canadian Steering Committee on Numbering (CSCN) of the CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee (CISC) submitted the following consensus report for Commission approval:
    • Elimination of the Split and Boundary Realignment Relief Methods from consideration during Relief Planning in Canada (CNRE110A)
  3. In its report, the CSCN proposed changes to the following three guidelines:
    • the Canadian Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Guideline;
    • the Canadian Number Resource Utilization Forecast (C-NRUF) Guideline; and
    • the Canadian MIN Block Identifier (MBI) Assignment Guideline.
  4. The CSCN noted that these three guidelines contain references to the split and boundary realignment area code relief methods, and proposed that these references be removed.
  5. The consensus report can be found in the “Reports” section of the CSCN page, which is available in the CISC section of the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca.
  6. The Commission considers that the CSCN’s proposed changes would ensure that the three guidelines noted above are consistent with the Commission’s determinations set out in Telecom Decision 2014-603.
  7. Accordingly, the Commission approves the above-noted consensus report and the modified guidelines.
