[{"name":"SP-210235","title":"MCC Support Team report","source":"MCC Director","contact":"Issam Toufik","contact-id":86944,"tdoctype":"report","for":"Presentation","abstract":"Changes of personnel: After more than three years in MCC supporting RAN WG1 then RAN WG4, Kai-Erik Sunell has decided to pursue his career outside of ETSI. We thank Kai-Erik for his excellent work supporting RAN WGs and wish him a very bright future. Kai-Erik is replaced by Dr Carolyn Taylor. Carolyn has standardization experience in RAN WG1, RAN WG2, RAN WG3, RAN WG4 and RAN 5 from a ETSI Mobile Competence Centre (MCC) perspective to a delegate and contributor on many TSG RAN features from Rel-99 to 5G. Carolyn first joined the ETSI Mobile Competence Centre (MCC) in 1999. During her undergraduate studies, she was part of an internship programme in Motorola, obtained a NASA scholarship and was trained as an Army Reserve Officer. She obtained Senior Member of IEEE, acquired her PhD and received a Chinese Language Certificate along the way. Carolyn joined MCC again in February 2021. Exciting statistics! APPROVED CRS PER YEAR - More than 50% increase over the last 3 years. - The rise in the number of approved CRs over the last 3 years is a matter of concern. - The current CR management system (i.e., marked-up word documents and manual implementation of the CRs) is unsustainable for the future. Nbr of specs (frozen Releases) - Steady increase of the number of specifications - It is getting harder and harder to meet the deadline for the availability of the new versions of specs after each plenary: tight deadline (1 week for CT and SA, 2 weeks for RAN) given the increase of the number of CRs and number of specs. 3GPP Marketing matters: Marketing work since TSGs#90-e: Published Issue 02 of the newsletter - 3GPP HIGHLIGHTS (www.3gpp.org\/highlights): Emails sent to 530 subscribers - link to PDF Mailing out 600 copies March 23. Planned for distribution at conferences\u2026 'If and when'. Agency quotes now in - for a new website (www.3gpp.org) for e\/o 2021 To modernise the design of the site and make it more mobile device friendly. To remove duplicated content that is on the Portal (3GU), at the same time to help users get to that data on the Portal. To improve accessibility to information for new publics coming to 3GPP. 6 News articles posted since TSGs#90 on www.3gpp.org site. Four colleagues have e-received the 3GPP Excellence Award, for their contribution to the progress of standardization efforts in 2020: Stoyan Baev (RAN WG5), Devaki Chandramouli (SA WG2), Mihai Enescu (RAN WG1) and Alf Zugenmaier (SA WG3). Other stuff: MCC CRs to 21.801 and 21.900: - SP-210046: CR to 21.801 on permitted software tools. - SP-210047: CR to 21.900 to introduce the xx.7xx series for internal TRs. - SP-210048: CR to 21.900 to eliminate Rel-16 content in case SP-210047 is approved (The approval of SP-210047 will trigger the creation of 17.0.0 version of the spec). NWM project: Status Update: Trials of the first use-case: Discussion Summary Documents - Support for summary documents developed by moderators of e-mail discussions. - Discussion Moderators can create\/edit their summary documents on the platform and include feedback forms to collect feedback from delegates\/companies. - Delegates, after logging-in into the platform, can provide their feedback\/company view using the feedback form. - Possibility to have several rounds of discussion for each document. - 651 users (i.e. people who logged at least once to the platform). - 543 people trained (1h hands-on training session) - First real use of NWM in RAN WG1 to handle a post-meeting discussion on a draft LS: - There were 18 comments from 11 companies over 2 rounds of discussion. - RAN WG4 trials over two weeks, from the 8th to the 19th of March: - 9 moderators, each created an imaginary discussion summary document and solicited input from the committee. Delegates have been contributing comments with 2 rounds of discussions for all documents. - First use in a meeting with real discussion documents will take place during TSG RAN#91-e For more details about the project: https:\/\/nwmwiki.etsi.org\/projectwiki\/","secretary_remarks":"The MCC Director was thanked for this report, which was noted.","agenda_item_sort_order":88,"ainumber":"20.7","ainame":"MCC Status Report","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":12630,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2021-03-17 20:17:53","uploaded":"2021-03-21 21:27:22","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"","lsreply":"","link":"https:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/tsg_sa\/TSG_SA\/TSGs_91E_Electronic\/Docs\/SP-210235.zip","group":"SP","meeting":"SP-91-e","year":2021,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
