     A SUMMARY OF RECENT LNPA TASK FORCE AND WORKING GROUP
              ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE MEETING PLANS

    A joint meeting of the two Task Forces reporting to the LNPA
Selection Working Group was held on November 18 in Washington,
D.C.  This meeting was followed by a second meeting of the LNPA
Selection Working Group at the same location and on the same day.

    The highlights of the first joint meeting of the LNPA
Architecture and the LNPA Technical and Operational Requirements
Task Forces and the subsequent Working Group meeting are as
follows:

1.  Co-chairs were elected for each task force.  These are Renie
Spriggs of Bell Atlantic and Hoke Knox of Sprint for Architecture
and Sandra Cheung of PacBell and Bonnie Baca of AT&T for
Technical/Operational Requirements.

2.  Potential bidders for SMS/LNP were asked to announce their
intentions at the meetings and indicate it in writing to the LNPA
Working Group and the FCC.

3.  The teams will support current state RFP efforts by
developing information on needed common elements across all
SMS/LNPs as well as administrator selection criteria.

4.  The LNPA Architecture Task Force will address geographic
coverage as well as LNPA selection and duties issues.  See items
1 through 5 of the FCC Items (for NANC) list.  It was noted that
wireless LNP should be included in state RFPs.

5.  Administrative arrangements including a consensus decision
process were agreed upon, with one voice per entity for the task
forces and escalation of issues to the LNPA Selection Working
Group when necessary.

6.  The Technical and Operational Requirements Task Force will
address issues involving standards and specifications. Its first
report will be made at the next Working Group meeting. See item 6
of the FCC Items (for NANC) list.  A joint task force meeting
will be held on December 3, 1996 followed by a Working Group
meeting.  A Technical and Operational Task Force meeting will
also be held on the morning of December 4, 1996.  All will be
held at the Crystal City Courtyard by Marriott in Arlington, Va.

7.  The question of whether a state may choose to enter or leave
an NPAC location was directed to the FCC.  Questions of capacity
and whether a single vendor for SMA/LNP and the NPACs is
appropriate were directed to the Working Group.
    
 8.The Working Group met in the afternoon and noted that the
next NANC meeting will be held December 2, 1996.  The Working
Group co-chairpersons will attend.  We also noted that the FCC
Web Site is operational.

 9.Beth Kristener of MCI distributed and reviewed the State
NPAC/SMS Status Report dated November 15, 1996.  This tracking
effort will continue.

10.On December 3, 1996 the LNPA Working Group will review its
Task Force readouts, all state activities, web site status and
any new FCC inputs.

11.A subsequent meeting was tentatively scheduled for
January 7, 1997.

12.AT&T will contribute to the creation of an electronic
distribution list for these groups to include all interested
parties in order to facilitate meeting announcements and
distribution of minutes for the Working Group and its task
forces.
