It was felt that as the relevant regulatory people already attend this forum, that it was better discussed here for a report to go back to Oftel. • New Chairman – John Blakemore from BT Cellnet is to take over the chair of the OPF MNP FG from Frank Stuart-Brown for the ensuing 6 months.
Fixed Line & MNP2 Process • Outgoing FG Chairmen of NGNP and MNP have had brief e-mail dialogues and agree in principle for some sort of harmonisation. • New Chairmen will need to take this further during their time in office.
