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), and allows participation in 3GPP meetings, the right to receive documents, but not to contribute documents, to take part in decision making, or to hold 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.
How to join 3GPP
If you wish your organization to join 3GPP on a time-limited Guest basis, please complete the on-line 3GPP application form for Guest status. We aim to process such applications within two working days.
