Summary: On October 12, 1999, Viola Gonzales, Executive Director of Latino Issues Forum; Robert Gnaizda, General Counsel, of the Greenelining Institute, met with Tim Sullivan, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, Linda Serizawa and Norman Low, advisors to Cmmr. Wood; Fassil Fenikile, advisor Cmmr. Neeper; Lester Wong, advisor Cmmr. Bilas, in San Francisco. Also present were Tim McCallion, Regulatory & Governmental Affairs Vice President-West, for GTE Corporation (GTE); Mark Savage and Maria Andrade, counsel for National Council of La Raza, et al. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed Community Collaborative Agreement (CCA) in the pending GTE/Bell Atlantic merger application. McCallion gave an overview of the commitments contained in the CCA and described the funding and allocation mechanisms, delineating ratepayer and shareholder contributions. Savage, Gonzales, and Gnaizda each discussed the benefits of the Collaborative, the monitoring proposed in the Agreement, as well as the reports of the Commission. Filer: The Greenlining Institute and Latino Issues Forum Contact: Robert Gnaizda Phone: (415) 284-7200 Summary: On October 13, 1999, Kelly Boyd, Senior Telecommunications Analyst, of the Office of the Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), met with Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas; Norman Low and Linda Serizawa, advisors to Cmmr. Wood; and Kim Malcolm and Robert Lane, advisors to Cmmr. Hyatt, in three separate meetings in San Francisco. Boyd presented an overview of issues of concern regarding the GTE/Bell Atlantic as proposed by the Applicants. In particular, Boyd described the service quality monitoring reports that Applicants have agreed to provide, and discussed the reasons that the Applicants should be required to fund their proposed Community Collaborative. Boyd and Selwyn explained how Applicants had underestimated the economic benefits to GTE ratepayers and that the proper calculation of economic benefits should be no less than $80.5 million allocated annually to GTE's California ratepayers. Boyd and Selwyn also discussed the impact of the proposed merger on competition. A copy of the redacted version of the briefing book was provided and attached to the notice.

Neeper; Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas; Tim Sullivan, advisor to Cmmr. Duque; and Norman Low and Linda Serizawa, advisors to Cmmr. Wood, in San Francisco. Also present were Tim McCallion, Regulatory & Governmental Affairs Vice President-West, for GTE Corporation (GTE); Viola Gonzales, Executive Director of Intervenor Latino Issues Forum; and Robert Gnaizda, General Counsel of Intervenor Greenlining Institute. A copy of the Community Collaborative Agreement (Agreement) was provided to each advisor at the meeting by McCallion. The meeting was to introduce the Agreement and answer questions. Each representative summarized the Community Collaborative Fund, a ten-year fund at $2.5 million per year for grants to community-based organizations to fund telecommunications projects for underserved communities; and the benefits of GTE's and Bell Atlantic's commitment to a goal of 98-percent universal service in California's underserved communities. In response to a question from an advisor, Savage stated his understanding that the Utility Reform Network construed Section 854 to preclude equitaby allocating and maximizing merger benefits to underserved communities, but that the Commission had already decided as a matter of law that Section 854 did allow and afford the Commission the discretion to equitably allocate a portion of the merger savings in the more valuable form of a community technology fund. Savage also observed that the Commission would be able to monitor the signatories' efforts through annual reports, as the Commission does with the Community Partnership Agreement which it approved in the Telesis/SBC merger.

Summary: On October 12, 1999, Karen Notsund, Senior Director - Government Affairs, for ICG Telecom Group, Inc. (ICG), met with Kim Malcolm, advisor to Cmmr. Hyatt; Cmmr. Bilas and Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas; Cmmr. Duque, and Tim Sullivan, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, in three separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present were Nick Selby, undersigned counsel, for ICG; Glenn Semow, of the California Cable Television Association (CCTA); and Melissa Waksman, Esq., counsel, for NEXTLINK California (NEXTLINK). An overview materials which summarized points why the Commission should deny GTEC's petition for pricing flexibility was presented to each meeting and attached to the notice. In each meeting, the representatives of ICG, CCTA and NEXTLINK urged the Commission to deny GTEC's petition. During the meeting with Malcolm, ICG, CCTA and NEXTLINK also pointed to the fact that the Draft Decision called for GTEC to submit its proposed cost floors by advice letter, which could lead to protests and, in effect, a recapitulation of the OANAD proceeding as parties contested whether GTEC had properly determined prices floors for the services for which it is seeking pricing flexibility. In the meeting with Wong, representatives of ICG, CCTA and NEXTLINK mentioned the point raised by the Office of Ratepayer Advocates that, if GTEC truly wished to reduce prices for local services, it could file a rate rebalancing application similar to that filed by Pacific Bell to offset funds received from the CHCF-B surcharge.

Summary: On October 13, 1999, Jeanne Bennett, attorney for Alliance of Retail Markets (ARM), had an equal-time meeting with Cmmr. Bilas, and Dorothy Duda and Julie Halligan, advisors to Cmmr.

Hyatt, Mona Petrochko of Enron Corp., participated. In all two meetings, Aaron Thomas of New Energy Ventures attended the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Proposed Decision (PD) in Phase I of the Post-Transition Ratemaking proceeding. Thomas informed that ARM was very supportive of the PD and the clarifications which had been made thereto since its initial issuance. Bennett pointed out that one area in the PD remains unclear - the manner in which the UDCs calculate the refund of overcollected transition costs.
