The dispute resolution procedures are intended to resolve disputes concerning:

1. (1) proper interpretation of terms and conditions in the interconnection agreements;
2. (2) implementation of activities explicitly provided for, or implicitly contemplated in, the interconnection agreements, including, but not limited to, interim rates and terms expiring before the contract expiration date; and
3. (3) enforcement of terms and conditions in such interconnection agreements.
