Ah, so that's all in the plan that my consultant is working on (and delivered 
to me yesterday) or already existing in my company. I'll follow up. Thanks.

You used the term "policy and procedure changes", but that depends on your 
business. I've read many of the RMPs filed in the database, and in most cases, 
the policies they describe are already practices that were in place. 


Here are a couple of overviews from law firms --

>From CommLaw Group -- 


A good RMP will contain detailed (but not necessarily lengthy) descriptions of 
an SVP’s: 

• acceptable use policy 
• know your customer procedures (e. information that confirms the customer’s 
identity) 
• telephone number authorization 
• monitoring 
• investigation of suspicious activity and traceback 
• blocking 
• plan update information.

>From DWT --

The FCC requires all programs to include: 

• (1) Detailed practices that can reasonably be expected to significantly 
reduce the origination of illegal robocalls; 

• (2) Compliance with the described practices; and 

• (3) Participation in industry traceback efforts.

If you're an "Intermediate Provider" (calls enter your network from another 
voice service provider, and without going to an end-user subscriber they also 
leave your network, but IANAL so read the legal definition ) then the changes 
are more likely to be substantial. If you allow people to signup with a credit 
card and start sending you calls from random numbers, then you're probably not 
demonstrating that you "know your customer", also known as KYC. And if they're 
sending calls from US telephone numbers and non-US IP addresses, then you 
should know exactly why.

Yes, I am working a variety of things in parallel in this project.
