The draft aggregate results of this G-NRUF, released on 29 March 2012, indicated that the Projected Exhaust Date (PED) for NPA 902 had moved in from April 2017 to January 2016. The CNA notified Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) staff that NPA 902 was in relief planning since the PED was less than fifty (50) months in the future. On 24 May 2012, the CRTC issued Telecom Notice of Consultation CRTC 2012-309, in which it established a CISC ad hoc Relief Planning Committee (RPC) to examine options for providing relief to area code 902 in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The Commission also identified that NPA 902 was projected to exhaust in April 2015 and declared NPA 902 to be in a Jeopardy Condition. In this TIF Report, the NPA 902 Relief Planning Committee is submitting a Planning Document which includes the following recommendations: 1) The Relief Method should be a distributed overlay of a new NPA Code on Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island NPA 902; 2) NPA Code 782 should be the Relief NPA

  • NANPA Annual Report 2018
    North American Numbering Plan Administrator Annual Report 2018 1 NORTH AMERICAN NUMBERING PLAN Background In October of 2018, following a competitive bidding process, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) awarded Somos, Inc. (Somos), the contract to perform the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) services, effective January 1, 2019. Pursuant to this award, the system and personnel transitioned from the incumbent to Somos. The NANPA is required to publish, within the first quarter of the year, an annual report covering the performance of the prior year. Somos did not serve as the NANPA during 2018; however, the same personnel who performed the NANPA services in 2018 are now employees of Somos. Somos therefore submits the following 2018 Annual Report in the interest of providing informational continuity to the FCC and the industry. By doing so, Somos does not intend to speak for or represent the interests of the former incumbent. History The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) was developed by AT&T in 1947 to simplify and facilitate direct dialing of long-distance calls. NANP telephone numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code, commonly called an area code, followed by a seven-digit local number. The NANP is an integrated numbering plan serving twenty North American countries that share its resources. Regulatory authorities in each participating country have plenary authority over numbering resources, but all participating countries, implicitly or explicitly, share numbering resources cooperatively. This approach has been successful for seventy years. North American Numbering Plan Administration AT&T administered shared numbering resources such as area codes until divestiture of the Bell System in 1984, when these functions were transferred to Bellcore under the Plan of Reorganization.

Of particular importance, we recognize colonization as gendered oppression and its relation to the ongoing experiences of Indigenous people with sexual violence and exploitation, most especially Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). In its structure and activities, TESS aims to honour several Calls for Justice stemming from the National Inquiry into MMIWG, including: • denouncing and speaking out against violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people; • breaking down stereotypes and busting myths that hypersexualize and demean Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people; • providing and promoting ongoing awareness and training on the issue of grooming for exploitation and sexual exploitation; [email protected] [email protected] 4 @TESSNovaScotia @TESSNovaScotia 5 • developing specialized Indigenous/community-led responses to the issue of human trafficking and sexual exploitation; • supporting programs and services for Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people in the sex industry to promote their safety and security, including delivering these services in partnership with people who have lived experience in the sex industry; and • developing prevention initiatives in the areas of health and community awareness related to sexual trafficking awareness and no-barrier exiting.
