doc.: r00 Submission Guidelines for Telcos Telecons operate under the rules as described in the Operations Manual (11-09/0002r5) Anybody may attend (not limited to voting members) Hence: –Telecons can only be run if a secretary taking minutes is present; minutes are approved during next interim / pleanary session –Presented documents need to use the template for submisstion, need to have a document number, and should be uploaded on mentor before presenting the document Agenda needs (only) to list a summary / review of relevant antitrust and P&Ps; call for essential patents required Formal motions are not permitted (exception: acting as Comment Resolution Committee; relevant once we are in Sponsor Ballot) In practice, it is fruitful to present material during telephone conferences, foster discussion and reach consensus during the telco. Straw polls are one valid (non binding) and useful scheme for probing the groups opinion. Any formal motions (resulting from presentations) have to be put on the floor during an upcoming plenary / interim session Mar/Apr/May Slide 10Hiroshi Mano, ATRD Root,Lab
