Objectives:The NANC must recommend to the Commission no later than May 1, 1997 one or more entities to serve as LNPA(s). The LNPA Selection Working Group will develop and advise the NANC on an appropriate process for selecting an entity or entities to serve as LNPA(s), whether one or multiple LNPA(s) should be selected, whether the LNPA can be the same entity as the NANP Administrator, and what the specific duties of the LNPA(s) should be. The LNPA Selection Working Group will also direct implementation of a nationwide system of regional SMS databases for number portability, and will determine possible future SMS needs.
