`Standardization Bodies (Organizational Partners) into their appropriate
`deliverables (e.g., standards).

`Groups, and approving their scope and terms of reference

`
`The 3GPP Technical Specications (TS) and Technical Reports (TR) have, in
`themselves, no legal standing. They only become “ofcial” when
`transposed into corresponding publications of the Organizational Partner
`(or the national / regional standards body acting as publisher for the
`Partner).
`Once a Release is frozen (see denition in TR 21.900), 3GPP specications
`are ofcially transposed and published by the Organizational Partners, as a
`part of their standards series.
`Market Representation Partners
`The 3GPP Organizational Partners may invite a Market Representation
`Partner to take part in 3GPP, which:
`Has the ability to offer market advice to 3GPP and to bring into 3GPP a
`consensus view of market requirements (e.g., services, features and
`functionality) falling within the 3GPP scope
`Does not have the capability and authority to dene, publish and set
`standards within the 3GPP scope, nationally or regionally
`Has committed itself to all or part of the 3GPP scope
`Has signed the Partnership Project Agreement
