`
`During the drafting phase (versions lower than 3.0.0),
`3GPP TSs and TRs ("Specs") are under the control of their
`authors ("rapporteurs") and are handled like normal
`meeting contributions (see above). Revised versions
`incorporating text agreed by the responsible working
`group are often made available by the rapporteur via the
`group's email exploder shortly after the end of the
`meeting at which such text was discussed. Consultation
`of the exploder archives can reveal this. Alternatively, a
`revised draft may be sent directly to the 3GPP Support
`Team, and it will be uploaded to the public le server
`(specs archive directory) shortly afterwards. Again, the
`time stamp of the Zip le can be relied upon to indicate
`when the upload occurred.
`Do I and my company have to support my
`TSG/WGs Work Items?
`Do I need a password and user name to access
`the 3GPP Web site ?
`Can you give me information about which
`companies manufacture particular types of
`equipment. Or about what services are
`available on particular networks?
`How can I determine when a meeting
`contribution document (TDoc) became
`publicly available?
`Is it possible to determine the date and time of
`publication of a particular version of a 3GPP
`Spec?

`
`After formal approval by the TSG (versions 3.0.0 or
`greater), Specs are edited only by the Support Team. The
` rst approved version is based upon the draft version
`formally approved by the TSG, and thereafter versions are
`generated whenever Change Requests are approved by
`the TSG. These versions are made available shortly after
`the TSG meeting at which such approval occurred. The
`date (year and month) shown at the top of the Spec's
`cover page indicates either the date of (the last day of)
`the meeting, or the month in which the new version was
`prepared. However a more precise indication of the date
`of availability can be obtained from the Spec's web page
`(via the table at http: //www.3gpp.org/speci cations/ )
`where a precise date is shown in the "available" column.
`More information on the procedures relating to Spec
`handing can be found in 3GPP TR 21.900.
`Note that, in accordance with the statement at the foot
`of the cover page of all 3GPP Specs, 3GPP does not
`"publish" its Specs per se. Formal publication is the
`responsibility of the individual Standards Development
`Organizations which comprise the Organizational
`Partners of 3GPP. For further information,
`see http: //www.3gpp.org/speci cations/63-of cial-
`publications.
`What formalities do I have to go through to
`get type approval for terminal equipment in
`Europe? Is there a single point of contact?
`What standards does my equipment need to
`conform to in order that I can place it on the
`market?
`Where can I nd a list of technical terms and
`abbreviations used in 3GPP documents?
