Full Membership of 3GPP
For full membership of 3GPP, an organization must be a member of one of the 3GPP Organizational Partners. These member organizations are called "Individual Members".
Guest Membership
The 3GPP rules permit the Organizational Partners to grant the status of "Guest" to an entity which has the qualifications to become a future Individual Member.
Guest status is granted for a one-time, limited period (normally six months, two TSG cycles).
A Guest may have representatives at TSG and subtending group meetings. Representatives may receive documents but shall not take part in decision making, participate in discussions, contribute documents, or hold any leadership positions.
To apply for Guest membership, see "how to join" below, but first read Article 10 of the 3GPP Working Procedures, which outline the terms and conditions of Guest status.
Note that Guest status applies to organizations (companies, government departments, educational establishments, etc) and not to individual people.
