 How to create a Change Request for STQ documents

  1. Download the Change Request form (MS Word format).
     

  2. Fill in all relevant areas on the CR cover sheet. See Annex A of these instructions for further detail.
     

  3. 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 STQsupport@etsi.org
     

  4. Copy the subclause(s) from the document that you want to change, and paste it into the CR form, starting on
    page 2, and enter your changes with revision marks in the copied text.
     

  5. Request a CR number from STQsupport@etsi.org, and submit as a normal meeting document. Remember to state the CR number in the title when you reserve the meeting document number via the Automatic Document Numbering facility (ADN).
     

 

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".
