WT Docket Number 12-301 INFORMATION AND DISCOVERY REQUEST FOR DEUTSCHE TELEKOM AG 1. Provide an organization chart and personnel directory in effect, for the Company as a whole and for each of the Company’s facilities or divisions involved in any activity relating to any relevant product or any relevant service. 2. The Applicants state that “the proposed transaction will strengthen T-Mobile USA by addressing the company’s impending capacity challenges in some areas.” (Public Interest Statement, page 31). Mr. McDiarmid states that “T-Mobile USA requires additional spectrum not only to fend off spectrum congestion in certain markets, but also to launch an LTE configuration that will enable T-Mobile USA to better compete with larger carriers.” (McDiarmid Declaration, ¶ 13). Provide all plans, analyses, and reports, including any documentation, methodologies, and assumptions used in any underlying models, discussing the claimed network spectrum capacity challenges and the spectrum requirements of the Company in these areas. 3. Mr. McDiarmid states that “this transaction will have the effect of further bolstering T-Mobile USA’s network in many of the areas in the country with the greatest population density.” (McDiarmid Declaration, ¶ 16). Mr. McDiarmid also states that “[b]y combining, the two companies will immediately reap the benefits of DAS technology, thereby contributing to the deployment of a denser, more user- intense network for LTE.” (McDiarmid Declaration, ¶ 16). a. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports, including any documentation, methodologies, and assumptions used in any underlying models, discussing the claimed network efficiencies resulting from an enhanced network density. b. Describe in detail how both companies will immediately reap the benefits of DAS technology by specifying how MetroPCS’s DAS nodes will be modified to be integrated into T-Mobile USA’s HSPA and/or LTE networks, including the timeline for such integration, the timeline for decommissioning support of MetroPCS’s CDMA/EV-DO technology from existing DAS nodes, and any plans for additional deployment of DAS technology by Newco. c. Provide all documents provided to, reviewed by, or relied upon by Mr. McDiarmid in making the above statements. 4. The Applicants state that “T-Mobile USA expects that the data rates on the Newco LTE network will reach peak download rates of 150 Mbps with an average downlink rate of 30 Mbps and peak uplink rates of 50 Mbps with an average uplink rate of 20 Mbps.” (Public Interest Statement, page 24). The Applicants state that Newco “will continue to offer HSPA+ service, which will achieve data rates of peak downlink rates of 42 Mbps with an average downlink rate of 11 Mbps and peak uplink rates of 5.8 Mbps with average uplinks of 1.25 Mbps.” (Public Interest Statement, page 34). Provide all plans, analyses, and reports underlying these statements, including those discussing the current and projected performance characteristics of HSPA+ and LTE, the efficiency of spectrum use, upload and download speed, latency, and deployment configuration. Further, include all plans, analyses, and reports regarding the support and expansion of the HSPA/HSPA+ network post-transaction. 5. The Applicants state that by combining the spectrum resources of the two companies, Newco can deploy LTE more efficiently and effectively than either company could on its own. (Public Interest Statement, page 27). Further, the Applicants state that T-Mobile USA needs the additional spectrum and resources to deploy an LTE network that can accommodate the increasing consumer demand for data and support its new unlimited voice and data plans. (Public Interest Statement, page 35). The Applicants assert that the mobile spectrum of the two providers is “highly complementary” particularly in common markets where the parties hold adjacent bands which can be combined as contiguous spectrum, “ultimately [allowing 2Newco] to deploy at least 20 x 20 MHz blocks for LTE in many areas, providing T-Mobile USA customers with deeper LTE coverage in those areas and yielding faster data speeds, lower latency and greater capacity.” (Public Interest Statement, pages iii, 24). a. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports, including any documentation, methodologies, and assumptions used in any underlying models, addressing spectrum requirements for both T- Mobile USA and Newco, including all re-farming scenarios, and including all radio access technologies. b. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports, including any documentation, methodologies, and assumptions used in any underlying models, discussing the implementation and build of the T-Mobile USA nationwide LTE network and proposed LTE service plans, devices and roaming plans absent the Proposed Transaction, including the number of cell sites and backhaul facilities. c. Provide all plans, analyses, reports, and documents discussing the Company’s assessments and plans to transition MetroPCS’s spectrum and devices to Newco’s LTE network. d. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports discussing the planned integration of the Company’s LTE networks including the advantages of transitioning from 1.4 x 1.4 MHz or 3 x 3 MHz channels to 5 x 5 MHz or 10 x 10 MHz channels to 20 x 20 MHz channels. e. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports, discussing the value of having a 20 x 20 MHz block of contiguous spectrum for deploying LTE, the ways a 20 x 20 MHz block of spectrum would be potentially superior for LTE deployment compared to any alternatives considered, and any additional benefits of having contiguous spectrum compared to any alternatives considered. f. Provide a list of counties, in csv format, where Newco proposes to deploy LTE through mid- 2015 for those counties subject to the Proposed Transaction. Identify for each county whether Newco would hold less than 20 x 20 MHz blocks of contiguous spectrum or at least 20 x 20 MHz blocks of contiguous spectrum. 6. Provide all merger simulations, econometric modeling, or similar analyses, including those regarding market concentration or pricing, that have been undertaken by the Company or any consultant or expert hired by the Company to analyze the effect of the Proposed Transaction, including all documents and data used in these analyses. 7. The Applicants state that the Proposed Transaction “will generate substantial and achievable synergies projected to be $6-7 billion NPV” (Public Interest Statement, page 13, 39, see also pages 41-42). Of this, network synergies will generate savings of “approximately $5-6 billion NPV” and non-network synergies will generate savings of “an estimated $1 billion NPV.” (Ewens Declaration ¶¶ 7-8). Mr. Ewens states that the “network synergies will come from Newco’s rationalization of T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS LTE networks into a single network, the decommissioning of overlapping cell sites and corresponding reduction in lease and backhaul costs, the eventual decommissioning of MetroPCS’s CDMA/EvDO network, the elimination of overlapping network functions, and reduction in duplicative network-based capital expenditures. (Ewens Declaration, ¶ 15). Mr. Ewens also asserts that roaming costs will be reduced and asset utilization improved. (Ewens Declaration, ¶ 15). Further, Mr. Ewens states that non- network synergies will arise from “Newco’s increased scale in back-office and administrative functions, as well as reduced handset and device procurement costs from switching handsets supplied to MetroPCS customers from CDMA to the larger global GSM ecosystem.” (Ewens Declaration, ¶ 17). Further, the Applicants state that “Newco's proposed transaction-specific savings will free up significant financial resources that could be invested back in its network and operations. This will allow the company to grow, potentially increasing employment opportunities.” (Public Interest Statement, page 44). a. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports supporting the estimates of operational savings and other cost synergies referred to above. b. Provide all documents provided to, reviewed by, or relied upon by Mr. Ewens in making the statements contained in Section IV of his declaration. 3c. For each operational savings or cost synergy identified by the Applicants in determining their total savings and annual savings referred to in the Public Interest Statement and the supporting declarations, (i) provide a quantification of the operational savings or cost synergy and an explanation of how the quantification was calculated; and (ii) state the steps that the Company anticipates taking to achieve that operational savings or cost synergy, and the estimated time and costs required to achieve it. d. For each cost savings, state separately the one-time fixed cost savings, recurring fixed cost savings, and variable cost savings (in dollars per subscriber and dollars per year). e. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports discussing how Newco will integrate networks, switching facilities, and cell sites, including where and when existing cell sites will be consolidated and the criteria to be used to consolidate cell sites; and the number of cell sites that Newco will own, share, or decommission. f. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports discussing the impact of the synergies referenced above on employment at Newco post-transaction. 8. The Applicants state, “T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS plan a straightforward technology migration program that will allow for rapid expansion of capacity without customer disruption. This migration plan involves: (1) accommodating the use of LTE by MetroPCS’s existing LTE customers on the T-Mobile USA network very soon after closing and (2) beginning distribution of MetroPCS-branded GSM/HSPA+/LTE handsets that operate on T-Mobile USA’s network as soon as practical after closing.” (Public Interest Statement, pages 36-37). The Applicants estimate that the customer migration will be complete by the second half of 2015. (Public Interest Statement, page 38). Describe in detail how Newco expects to accomplish this migration plan by the second half of 2015 and provide all plans, analyses, and reports discussing the migration plan. 9. The Applicants state that “MetroPCS customers will experience improved services and options – many at no additional cost.” (Public Interest Statement, page 22). The Applicants also state that “current MetroPCS customers will receive the benefits of an expanded and enhanced network without an increase in price of their existing service plans.” (Public Interest Statement, page 24). Applicants assert that “[c]ompetition will also be enhanced through the planned extension of the MetroPCS brand to new metropolitan areas.” (Public Interest Statement, page iii). Describe in detail plans for the expansion of the MetroPCS brand, including service plans and pricing in these expansion areas if the Proposed Transaction were approved. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports discussing these expansion plans, such as reports and analyses discussing the Company’s pricing forecasts and launches into new geographic areas. 10. The Applicants state that Newco intends to be the “leading value carrier in the U.S., with a focus on offering a variety of appealing plans to compete aggressively for customers seeking affordability and certainty in the cost of their wireless plans.” (Public Interest Statement, page 52). Provide all plans, analyses and reports discussing how Newco would compete post-transaction with other service providers including plan offerings, promotions, and offered device mixes for both the T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS brands. 11. Provide all plans, analyses, and reports (including any surveys conducted by the Company or third party) discussing how customers view and value the Company’s network quality, service plans, pricing, and promotions (including local promotions), including any competitive changes as a result of service offerings by T-Mobile USA, and any contemplated or actual competitive changes to T-Mobile USA’s service plans, pricing or promotions as a response to other service providers’ offerings. 12.

For any document withheld as entirely privilege, it is sufficient to supply one substitute, placeholder page for that document, so long as the range of Document IDs for the entire document is listed on the placeholder page and each Document ID for each page of the document is reflected in metadata. The placeholder pages must be OCR’d as any other paper record, as described above. For each document withheld as privileged, whether in entirety or in part, the Company shall code the substitute document submitted as specified in and provide as metadata the information in the attached MetaData Table of Requested Fields. 13. For each Document identified on the Company privilege log: 1) Provide the document control number(s); 2) Identify all authors of the document; 3) Identify all addressees of the document; 4) Identify all recipients of the document or of any copies of the document, to the extent not included among the document’s addressees; 5) Provide the date of the document; 6) Provide a description of the subject matter of the document; 7) State the nature or type of the privilege that the Company is asserting for the document (e.g., “attorney-client privilege”); 8) Provide the number(s) of the Request to which the document is responsive; 9) Provide the document control number(s) of any attachments to the document, regardless of whether any privilege is being asserted for such attachment(s); and 10) State whether the document has been produced in redacted form, and include the range of Document ID labels for those produced documents. 14. The Company’s privilege log shall also conform with all of the following requirements: 1) Provide a separate legend identifying each author, addressee, and recipient identified on the Company’s privilege log. 13 2) Identify on the privilege log, and denote with an asterisk, all attorneys acting in a legal capacity with respect to the withheld document or communication. 3) The description of the subject matter of each document shall describe the nature of the document in a manner that, though not revealing information that is itself privileged, provides sufficiently detailed information to enable the Commission to assess the applicability of the privilege claimed. 4) For each document withheld under a claim that it constitutes or contains attorney work product, also state whether the Company asserts that the document was prepared in anticipation of litigation or for trial and, if so, specify the anticipated litigation or trial upon which the assertion is based. 5) Produce all nonprivileged portions of any responsive document (including nonprivileged or redactable attachments) for which a claim of privilege is asserted, except where the only nonprivileged information in the document has already been produced. Note where any redactions in the document have been made. 6) The privilege log shall be produced in both hardcopy and electronic form, the electronic form of which shall be both searchable and sortable. 7) Documents sent solely between counsel, including in-house counsel acting solely in a legal capacity, and documents authored by the Company’s outside counsel that were not directly or indirectly furnished to any third party, such as internal law firm memoranda, may be omitted from the privilege log. However, any attachments to such documents must be included on the privilege log (if a privilege is applicable to such materials), unless such attachments are addressed and sent solely to counsel. 14 Instructions for Submission of Electronic Documents A. Form of Production 1. Electronic documents shall be produced in Summation Enterprise load files as images and/or native format files with extracted text and related metadata and bibliographic information. A list of metadata fields that must be populated, as relevant, is attached. Specific requirements for different types of documents are discussed below. Please contact Commission staff for further technical specifications, including the image and text file specifications and the load file configuration, and for a sample load file set. 2. Each Summation submission must be on a physical media, either a portable hard drive or DVD- ROM. 3. Each physical media provided must have a label affixed. The label shall state: (a) the name of the party submitting the data, (b) the date of the submission, (c) the volume number of production (see below), and (d) the range of documents contained on the media. 4. Each Summation submission must have a volume number associated with it. On the root of the media, the top-level folder must be named for the volume. This volume number should also be indicated on the physical label of the media. The volume naming scheme should start with a 2 or 3 letter prefix (identifying your company) followed by a 3-digit counter (e.g., ABC001). Load file volumes may not contain more than 25,000 records each (but multiple file volumes may be included on one hard drive). 5. Under the volume folder, the production should be organized in 3 subfolders: a) IMAGES (may contain subfolders, with no more than 5,000 image files per folder) and FULLTEXT (may contain subfolders, with document-level text files). No file may be more than 25 megabytes. b) DOCLINK (documents in native format, including all spreadsheets and presentations) c) LOADFILES (the metadata, EDII, and LST information should be contained in one file, and the custodian append information in a separate file) 6. Each submission shall be accompanied by an spreadsheet (production index), in hard copy and electronic form, detailing what has been produced, by custodian and document identification number, and containing statistical information about each volume. 7. If a password is used, the same password must be used for all submissions. If encryption is used, only Truecrypt software may be used. 8. To minimize any delay in loading your submissions, each submission shall be as large as practical under these specifications, while also maintaining a timely and rolling production. 9. Subsequent submissions shall not include information produced in previous submissions, unless specifically requested by the Commission. However, if an error occurs in loading, the entire load must be resubmitted, maintaining the original volume number(s). For example, if a hard drive contains volumes ABC005 – ABC 009, and there is an error with volume ABC006, ABC006 must be corrected and the entire submission ABC005 – ABC009 must be resubmitted on a new hard drive. 15 B. Document Types 1. Hard-copy (or paper) documents. (a) Except as otherwise agreed, hard-copy documents shall be produced as image files with related searchable OCR text and bibliographic information. (b) Some documents may more appropriately and efficiently be produced in hard-copy form (e.g., maps). (c) Special care should be taken to properly unitize documents, maintain attachment relationships, and indicate file folder or binder labels, consistent with the Definitions and Instructions. 2. E-mail and Other Electronic Messages. (a) E-mail and other electronic messages (e.g., instant messages (“IMs”)) shall be produced as image files with related searchable text and metadata and bibliographic information. (b) Each IM conversation shall be produced as one document. (c) E-mail metadata shall include the folderpath (“folder” field) information for e-mail file folders into which a custodian’s e-mail messages have been organized. Be sure to preserve and produce this information as specified. Beware of copying e-mails into an electronic repository or forwarding them to a central e-mail box, as such processes may destroy this information. See also infra Section C(2) regarding custodian metadata. (d) Depending on how the Company’s systems represent names in e-mail messages or IMs, the Commission may require a table of names or contact lists. 3. Spreadsheets shall be produced in native format (e.g., .XLS files) with the first page imaged and with related searchable text and metadata and bibliographic information. 4. Presentations. (a) Presentations shall be produced as images that show the full slide images and speaker notes, with related searchable text and metadata and bibliographic information. (b) Presentations shall also be produced in native format (e.g., .PPT files). 5. Word processing and other electronic documents not specifically addressed elsewhere in this letter shall be produced as image files with related searchable text and metadata and bibliographic information. 6. Databases. (a) This letter does not address enterprise databases which may be responsive to the Information and Document Requests and should be the subject of a separate discussion once you have identified them. (b) Smaller databases (e.g., Microsoft Access) that are responsive should be produced, but not as part of the load-file production. Such databases should be produced separately. 16 7. Company Intranets and Social Networking Sites. (a) If the Company’s intranet or company social networking content (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) contains responsive information, production of these items should be the subject of a separate discussion. (b) Depending on the nature of the information, it may be appropriate to provide the Commission direct access to the Company’s intranet via a secure Internet connection, but significant technical issues are often involved. 8. Embedded files with no substantive content (e.g., corporate logos, executive “head-shot” photographs, stationery address blocks), which would appear in the production as an otherwise blank and therefore unresponsive “TIFF” image, should not be produced. C. General Issues 1. Attachments and their parent documents are a “family” of documents. Families of documents (e.g., a cover e-mail with multiple attachments) must all be produced in full. If one member of the family is responsive, the entire family is considered responsive, and individual documents in the family cannot be withheld on grounds of being “non-responsive.” 2. The required metadata for each electronic document includes “custodian” information (typically, the name of the human person from whose files the document was gathered) and “filepath” information for directory/server folders into which a custodian’s documents have been organized. Ensure that this information is collected when collecting responsive documents. If the Company stores documents in a repository that does not maintain personal custodian or filepath information (e.g., that “journals” e-mails), it shall be required to stipulate to custodian identities for purposes of using documents. 3. In certain circumstances, a custodian may be a shared resource (e.g., shared drive or server, shared filing cabinet). Materials gathered from such repositories, to which multiple people have access, shall be produced as separate custodians. The Company shall provide a brief description of each shared resource that includes a list of the employees who have access to that shared resource. The documents in shared resources should otherwise be produced as described in the rest of this letter. (Personal share or server drives are not shared resources and shall be produced as part of each human custodian’s files.) 4. Native Format Files (a) If any native files will be produced that cannot be viewed using the standard configuration of Microsoft Office 2007, Adobe Acrobat Reader 9, WordPerfect X4, or Internet Explorer 7, you will need to notify the Commission so it can determine whether it has the appropriate software and licenses to view those files. If it does not, it may be necessary for the Company to provide that software. (b) Any encryption or password protection shall be removed from all native format files produced. 5. Images and Text Files (a) Images of the produced electronic documents shall conform with any further specifications provided by the Commission. 17 (b) Searchable OCR and extracted text from the produced electronic documents shall conform with any further specifications provided by the Commission. (c) Care should be taken to ensure that the text files will properly format and wrap. (d) If any document cannot be interpreted in image/text format (e.g., color, Microsoft Project), the Commission may request that it be produced natively, or the Company can contact the Commission to discuss producing them natively. As noted above in C(4)(a), the Company may need to provide the appropriate software in order for the Commission to view these documents. 6. Deduplication (a) The Company shall deduplicate vertically within each custodian’s files. (b) The Commission prefers that the Company also deduplicate horizontally across all custodians’ files, but only if: (i) the deduplication methodology preserves information on BCC recipients of e- mail; (ii) custodian information from suppressed duplicates can be preserved and produced as a custodian append file; and (iii) the Company, prior to beginning its production, provides a written description its deduplication methodology, including how custodial and BCC information shall be preserved and produced, to which the Commission agrees. (c) The Company must produce all members of a family of documents (see C(1)) and cannot suppress attachments to other documents. In other words, the integrity of families of documents must be maintained, except as limited by any claim of privilege. For example, and in particular, the deduplication process may not remove attachments to e-mails that are being produced because the attachment is produced elsewhere. Improper dedeuplication may require the resubmission of a production set. (d) The Company agrees not to raise any objections to the Commission’s use of the produced duplicate in relation to whether it was in the files of the custodians who had the suppressed duplicates in their files or were the sender or recipients of any e-mail. 7. Privilege Designations (a) Documents redacted pursuant to any claim of privilege shall be designated “Redacted” in the Properties field in the metadata and bibliographic information provided. The Company shall provide appropriately redacted related searchable text, metadata, and bibliographic information for these documents. (b) Documents withheld pursuant to any claim of privilege that are part of a document family shall include a designation of “Family Member of Priv Doc” in the Properties field in the metadata and bibliographic information provided for all the other documents in its family. A placeholder image with a document identification number should be provided in place of the document. 18 (c) Both redacted and withheld documents shall appear on the privilege log. Each withheld document from a family shall include the family document identification number range in its entry on the privilege log. 8. Document Identification Numbering (a) A consistent format for document identification numbering shall be used across the entire production. Document identification numbers should contain no more than three segments – e.g., a company identifier, a middle segment (e.g., custodian identifier), and a sequence of 6-8 digits (the number of digits should be consistent across the entire production). (b) Document identification numbers should not contain embedded spaces (“ ”), slashes (“/”), backslashes (“\”), or underscores (“_”). Document identification numbers may contain hyphens (“-”). (c) Native format files should be assigned a document identification number; if images have been produced with a native format file, the beginning document identification number of the images should be the native format file’s document identification number. 9. These instructions do not address or endorse any search method the Company may use to identify responsive electronic documents. 10. In order to ensure the Company’s full technical and procedural compliance with these instructions, the Company shall make its Information Technology personnel and those of its vendors available to Commission staff for consultation and coordination before, during, and after its production of materials responsive to the requests. D. Sample Submission Required Prior to Full Production In consultation with Commission staff, the Company shall submit a test submission to ensure proper configuration of data for uploading into the Commission’s Summation Enterprise database server before the Company “ramps up” production. To minimize the likelihood of encountering problems during full production, the sample must be representative of an actual production, including multiple types of documents, documents with attachments (“families”), document families from which an item has been removed pursuant to privilege (and replaced with a document identification -numbered, placeholder image), redacted documents with appropriately related searchable text, and presentation documents with speaker notes. 19 FIELD LISTING FOR SUMMATION METADATA LOAD FILE TYPE OF RECORD(S) TO WHICH EACH FIELD APPLIES Field Name Field Description Field Type Hard Copy E- Mail Spreadsheets and Presentations Other E-Docs (all Attachments, Calendar Appts, Loose Files SUBMISSION# Production volume number (e.g., ABC001) Note Text x x x x REQUEST# Request(s) to which the document is responsive Multi-Entry x x x x BEGDOC# Start Bates (including prefix) -- do not use commas, underscores, ampersands, slashes, spaces, characters not allowed in Windows file names or any character used as a delimiter in the load files as part of this number Note Text x x x x End Bates (including prefix) -- do not use commas, underscores, ampersands, slashes, spaces, characters not ENDDOC# allowed in Windows file names, or any character used as a delimiter in the load file as part of this number Note Text x x x x Indicate All That Apply : Record Type: Loose File, E-mail, Attachment, Hard Copy, Calendar Appt EPROPERTIES Privilege Notations: Redacted, Privileged, Family Member of Priv Doc Multi-Entry x x x x PRIV Privileged (Y/N) Note Text x x x x PO1 Subject to First Protective Order (Y/N) Note Text x x x x PO2 Subject to Second Protective Order (Y/N) Note Text x x x x DATEAPPTSTART Start date of calendar appointment - YYYYMMDD Date x TIMEAPPTSTART Start time of calendar appointment - HH:MM am/pm Time x DATEAPPTEND End date of calendar appointment - YYYYMMDD Date x TIMEAPPTEND End time of calendar appointment - - HH:MM am/pm Time x FILESIZE File size (numeric value only - do not include unit of measure) Integer x x x FILEEXTENSION File extension of native electronic file Fixed Length 5 chars x x x FILEPATH File path to native file as it existed in original environment Note Text x x x HASHMD5 MD5 hash value (used for deduplication or other processing) Note Text x x x 20 HASHSHA SHA1 hash value (used for deduplication or other processing) Note Text x x x SEARCHVALUES List of search terms used to identify record as responsive (if used) Multi-Entry x x x x COMPANIES Company submitting data Multi-Entry x x x x CUSTODIAN Custodian(s) / source(s) -- format: Last, First or ABC Dept Multi-Entry x x x x DOCID Must equal the value appearing in the BEGDOC# field Note Text x x x x NUMPAGES Page count Integer x x x x PARENTID Parent record's BEGDOC#, including prefix (populated ONLY in child records) Note Text x x x x ATTACHMENTIDS Child document list: BEGDOC# of each child (populated ONLY in parent records) Multi-Entry x x x x BATESRANGE BEGDOC# value of the parent record and ENDDOC# value (including prefix) of the last child record (for example, ABC-001 - ABC-020); populated for all documents in the group - otherwise, remains empty Note Text x x x x FROM Author of the e-mail or loose electronic file (as formatted on the original) Note Text x x x TO Recipients of the e-mail (as formatted on the original) Multi-Entry x CC Names of the individuals who were copied on the e-mail (as formatted on the original) Multi-Entry x BCC Names of the individuals who were blind-copied on the e-mail (as formatted on the original) Multi-Entry x SUBJECT E-mail or calendar subject, or electronic file's document title Note Text x x x DATESENT Date the e-mail was sent - YYYYMMDD Date x TIMESENT Time e-mail was sent -- HH:MM am/pm (e.g., 09:32 am; Timezone indicators cannot be included) Time x DATERECEIVED Date e-mail was received - YYYYMMDD Date x TIMERECEIVED Time e-mail was received -- HH:MM am/pm Time x HEADER The internet header information for e-mail sent through the internet; Note Text x INTERNETMSGID Internet message identification number Note Text x MESSAGEID Unique system identification number for the e-mail message Note Text x DATECREATED Date electronic file was created - YYYYMMDD Date x x 21 DATESAVED Date electronic file was last modified - YYYYMMDD Date x x DOCDATE Populate with: DATESAVED for electronic files (loose files and e- mail attachments) ; DATESENT for e-mails; or DATEAPPTSTART for calendar appointments - YYYYMMDD Date x x x x ATTACHTITLE File name of an e-mail, e-mail attachment, or loose electronic document Note Text x x x APPLICATION Application used to create native file (e.g., Excel, Outlook, Word) Note Text x x x DOCLINK Current file path location to the native file (on the delivery medium) Note Text x FOLDER E-mail folder path (sample: Inbox\Active); or Hard Copy folder/binder title/label Note Text x x
