The rule book, covering participation in 3GPP, the 3GPP Structure, Partners Responsibilities, the Project Coordination Group & Technical Specification Groups, the Work Programme and Technical Coordination, 3GPP Deliverables, Reporting and External Relations.

The Change Request (CR) procedure is used to create revised versions of 3GPP specifications after their initial approval. The three main reasons why a change might be required are to add a new feature, correct-clarify-enhance an existing feature of a Release still under development or to correct an error in a specification which is functionally frozen.

3GPP uses a system of parallel "Releases" which provide developers with a stable platform for the implementation of features at a given point and then allow for the addition of new functionality in subsequent Releases.

Delivers information that expands on the 3GPP Working Procedures; providing detailed help on meeting registration and participation, connecting to the server, registering a change of employer, deciding which TSGs or WGs may be of interest, how to contribute documents, on drafting Technical Specifications and Technical Reports, what is responsible behaviour and on Voting rights and the use of a proxy.

We keep details of the candidates, the registrations and about the results of each election. This section also shows any technical votes that have been raised.

All 3GPP specifications have a specification number consisting of 4 or 5 digits. (e.g. 09.02 or 29.002). The first two digits define the series. Our Spec. numbering page gives links to listings of the specifications and reports in each series.

Each 3GPP TSG and WG has its dedicated email list and may also have additional email discussion strings – over their own email list.

The Work Plan provides details of co-operation between all the 3GPP TSGs and WGs on reaching common targets. These targets are called "Features" and are either new or bring enhanced functionality to the existing system.

This new section serves as an introduction to the 3GU portal. Up-to-the-minute meeting information, T-Docs, Change Requests, Release data and links to the specifications are here.
