`your name will not appear on the participation list (so you wil have to add at. and your contact coordinates. manually. before siglruhg it’).
`you wil not receive a delegate badgeon arrival;
`you musfslili register on line, even alter the meeting has started
`
`Note that registering; IOF the meeting is quite independent Of booking HUIEI accommodation!
`
`when you register for a meeting, you will have to identify yourself, either by your ETSl On-Line account coordinates or by your
`name and email address. it you hve reoentiy changed employer. or have a new email address. 00 NOT CREATE A NEW
`PERSON RECORD dunng the registration process, but follow the linkto update yourexisting record first
`
`By default. you will be registered as representing youremployer at the meeting. as long as that employer is a GGPP Individual
`Member organization. Ifyou wish to represent any other organization. select it from the appropriate list When representing an
`organization other than your employer. at the momentyou confirm your registration, an email will be automatically sent to both
`the TSGNVG Secretary and the otiicial contectperson otthe represented organization infonning them of the fad.
`
`Participant lists — why are they Important?
`Participation in TSG and WG meetings is recorded by the Support Team based on signatures on the participants list Ari
`Individual Memberorganization's rightto vote in a particular group (TSG or WG) dependson its de!egates‘part1'cipaling — and
`being recorded as participating — in meetings of that group. Your participation in a meeting is confinned by yoursignlng the
`attendance sheetduring the course of the meeting {and updating any coordinates which may have changed). The ollficial
`participation record appears in the secretary's report at the meeting, and the Individual Member organization you represent
`will acquire I maintain the right to vote altlialmeeling.

`
`Officials
`
`Each TSG hasa Chairman and up to three Vice-Chairmen who are from memberorganizations. and a secretary who is
`usually ttom the SGPP support team. The arrangements for WGS are similar, but WGs may have a maximum of two Vice-
`Chairmen. Contact details olttie ofiicials can be obtained from the homepage ofthe individual TSG or WG.
`
`See the Elections section olthe site tordetails oflhe imminent elections and recent results.
`
`For more inronnation on the election ofofficlels; see the BGPP Working Procedures.
`
`Atthe slartof every meeting. the chairman shall read out the IPR text. He shall also rnaention the conditions of LAN and internet
`usage {cited below}.
`
`Change of employer, restructuring of organization, etc
`If you change employer, you are of course no Iongerellgihle to represent the old employer. unless it is within me same group
`ofcompanies. lithe new employer is a 3GPP Individual Member (or OF’. l\r'lF-ZP. etc} you are immediately able to attend
`meetings representing that new organization.
`
`Ifa member organization restructure-s itself, its delegates may find that they are no longer employed by theiroriginal
`organization. However. changes in 3GPP membership normally occurrather later. and the original memberships will persist
`for some time, Until lhe new structure becomes rellected in the EGPP membership, you may continue to attend meetings
`representing your former organization.
`
`It you change employerorthere is any other modification to youroontactcoordinates. you should immediately take steps to
`update yourPerson reoord held by SGPP. lfyou have an ETSI-On-Line (EOLJ aocount. you shoutd update yourown
`coordinates by visiting this page and correcting yourown record. lfyour email address has changed. you should take
`particularcare to tick the check box to force all exploder lists managed by SGFP to be updated to reflect that new address. if
`you do nothave an EUL account. you should send an email to SGPP Contact with full details of your new coordinates. and
`MCC will update the record for you.
`
`when a company restructurt-:5. or is involved in a takeover or merger, the company may itselfintorm the appropriate 0P[e) of
`the change and in due course the 0Ps will infonn 3GPP. in this case_ SGPP will make appropriate changes to all alfected
`BWIDIDEEES OT 1716 O|'Qaf'IlZBfiOl't3 concerned. and delegates need take i'lO explicit action (other than TO CHECK that their new
`O0Old|l"|fltES are oorrectly FECOFUEG}.
`
`Documents area
`
`Each TSG or WG has a specific documents area allocated on the 3GPPftp sen.-er. This is where you will find the all meeting
`documents including invitations. agenda. reports. contributions and Change Requests relating to that group. Delegates are
`advised to download and read all documerto prior to the meeting.

`

`
`During the meeting, new documents are made avaiahle on the local meeting server, The secretary may copy them to the main
`pubiic server from time to time during the meeting iftime BBt‘lTiil$. After the end ofthe meeting. the secretary will ensure that

`
`Downloading meeting documents individually using H1'|'P is very time-consuming. and delegates are strongly encouraged to
`use FTP. Some organizations configure employees‘ PCs to inhibit the use of l-‘l’P: delegates may wish to ask their IT
`department to relax this restriction to enable more elficient meeting participation.
`
`Archeological note: Written contributions are referred to as TDocs tor ldcics). This is an abbreviation o1'”terriporary document‘
`and in the long-ago era of all-paper meetings. signified tl1at such documents’ lifespan was limited to the meeting at which they
`were presented. Following the meeting. TDocs were destroyed. Iiany information presented in a TDoc was to have continuing
`Validity atterwards, it had to be captured in a "pen11enantdocument" orin the meeting report For this reason, itwas not
`legitimate for a publishabie deliverable [T5 or TR in 3GPP context) to use a TDoi: as a reference. 3GPP has always operated
`100% electi-onir: (0% paper) as taraa oontribution documents are oonoerned Documents are not deleted following the
`meeting, but are retained on the public sewer indefinitely, Neve rthess. the term "|'l2loc" persists. But 3GF'F' has no Concept ot
`"perma nent documents‘.
`
`Contributing
`Any 3GPP Individual It-temberor GP or MRP may make a contribution to a 3-GF'P meeting. Each meeting invitation will contain
`details oi how to register and provide contributions for that meeting. See the Meetings pages tor more details.
`
`Organizations which have been granted temporary Guest or Observer status are not allowed to make technical contributions.
`
`Organizations which are not Individual Members of3GPP (or are notOPs or MRPs) must not appear as the ‘source’ of a
`technical contribution other than those clearly identified as Liaison Statements. There is no restriction on organizations with
`which SGPP may exchange Liaison Statements other than outgoing LSs to the ITU. as identified in the SGPP Working
`Procedures.
`
`Location
`
`Most SGPP meetings are held in countries} regions in which 3GPP Individual Members are based (Europe. North America,
`Asia.) Meeting locations tend to reflect the geographical diversity of the TSG and WG participants. Meetings may occasionally
`be hosted outside these regions by agreement otthe delegates and, itneoessary. the N36.
`
`Hosting
`Any 3GPP Individual Mamberor group thereof may has! a meeting. For more intonnafion on hosting requirements see here, ,

`information relating to rig; tuture rneetingstor that group.
`
`Document Numbering
`Each TSG orWG meeting has a structured numbering scheme for its documents. Delegates wishing to make contributions
`must first obtain a document number either from the secretary or an tiornaticaliy via an on—line application {see belowt.
`
`Automatic Document Numbering (ADN)
`Some groups use an on—line Iiool for ailocating document numbers. This will be clearly stated in the meeting invitation.
`

`
`Also follow the procedural rules given in the 3GPP Working Procedures and the TSG procedures in 3GF'P TR 21.900.
`
`Use common sense. If Ihatfails, ask your group's Support Team Project Manager.
`
`Responsible behaviour
`Delegates are reminded that they share the meeting [Resources with their fellow delegates. You should not abuse the
`service by using bandwidth—hogging appticafions such as movie downloads, streaming video, web—based gaming, etc during
`the meeting. Use the intern et service in your hotel rooms for this!
`
`Delegates must respect the law of the hosting country, and should not visit prohibited internet sites.
`
`In C3585 Of persistent abuse Of the ll1lEt‘l'IeT bandwidth, MCC may fES‘iI'iCT if'IdiVidi.IaI'S USE Of the SENECE.
`
`In part1cuIar_ the FCC has laid down the following F1Bt\'ll'Dfk LISBQE conditions:
`
`1. Users shall not use the network to engage in illegal activities. This includes activities such as copyright violali on. hacking.
`espionage or any other activity that may be prohibited by tooal laws.
`
`2. Users shall notengage in nonvwork related activities that are consume excessive bandwidth or cause significant
`degradation Of the performance otthe network.
`
`Since the networlc is a shared resource. users should exercise some basic etiquette when using the SGPP netwont at a
`meeting. It is understood that high bandwidth applications such as downloading large files or video streaming might be
`required for business purposes, butdelegates should be strongly discouraged in perionning these activities for personal use.
`Downloading a movie ordoing sornethirlg in an interactive environment iorpersonal use essentially wastes bandwidth that
`others need to make the meeting effective. The meeting chainnan should remind end users that the network is a shared
`resource: the more one user grabs. the tees there is for another. Email and its attachments already take up significant
`bandwidth (certain email programs are not very bandwidth etlicienl). In case or need the cnaircan ask the delegates to restrict
`IT usage to things that are essential forthe meeting itself,
`
`1. DON'T place your VWF1 device in ad-hoc mode
`DON'T set up a personal hotspot in the meeting room
`DO try 502.112: ifvour U'lIF'r device supports it
`DON'TmanuaIly allocate an IP address
`DON'T be a bandwidth hog by streaming video, playing onllne games, or downloading huge lites
`DON'T use packet probing software lllt'i"li1'.'.h dogs the total network [egg packet shifters or port scanners)

`
`Feedback
`
`Delegates are encouraged to provide feedback on their 3GPP meeting experience via a shortweb-based survey. The URL of
`the survey will be made known to participant.
`
`Centralized editing tools
`Certain TSs contain ‘lorrnal SDL diagrams, MSC diagrams. and tests using TFCN. These require specialist tools to edit (see
`EGPP TR 21.501 annex H .5 and annex 1. ‘these tools are expensive to purchase or license, so ETSI graciousiy makes a
`centralized instance of the tools avaiiabte for the use of 3GPF' delegates.
