How to
create a Change Request for the OCG EMTEL requirements documents
-
Download the Change Request form (MS Word format).
-
Fill in all relevant areas on the CR cover sheet. See
Annex A below for further detail.
-
Open the document to which you wish to make a change. It is very
IMPORTANT to ensure that you are using the latest version of the document
to make the change. If in doubt, contact
EMTELsupport@etsi.org
-
Copy the subclause(s) from the document that you want to change
and paste it into the CR form, starting on page 2. Enter your changes with
revision marks in the copied text.
-
Send your CR to
EMTELsupport@etsi.org, who will submit it to OCG EMTEL for approval.
Examples of
expressions of provision in ETSI specifications:
To ensure that everybody else understands
your proposed changes the same way that you do, it is very important to keep to
the following rules:
SHALL:
To be used to indicate a requirement. e.g. "The ACH shall be used for
sending RFCH in the downlink" is correct. Do not use "The ACH is used for
sending RFCH in the downlink" or "The ACH must be used for sending RFCH in the
downlink".
SHOULD:
To be used to indicate recommendation. i.e. if, among several
possibilities one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or
excluding others, or that a certain course of action is preferred but not
necessarily required, or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or
course of action is deprecated but not prohibited.
MAY:
To be used to indicate permission. To be used instead of phrases such as
"is permitted", "is allowed" or is permissible". The opposite of "may" is "need
not".
CAN:
To be used to indicate possibility and capability. To be used instead of
phrases such as "be able to", "there is a possibility of" or "it is possible
to".
