CALENDAR OF 3GPP MEETINGS

For the period September – December.

MEETING STARTS ENDS 3GPP WORK
All meetings are e-meetings
TAKEN ON-LINE

TSG CT#89-e 14 September 2020 16 September 2020
TSG RAN#89-e 14 September 2020 18 September 2020 On May 18, 2020, the 3GPP TSG and
Working Group Chairs agreed that all 2020
TSG SA#89-e 16 September 2020 18 September 2020 meetings will be electronic meetings, by
Cross-TSG default. The decision has allowed all groups
coordination 21 September 2020 21 September 2020
e-meeting to plan their activity – wholly based on
PCG#45-e 28 September 2020 28 September 2020 virtual meetings – for the rest of the year.
At the time of writing, there is growing
WG SA3#100-bis-e 12 October 2020 16 October 2020 optimism that the re-commencement of

WG SA5#133-e 12 October 2020 21 October 2020 face-to-face meetings will take place in the
not too distant future, but in order for that
WG SA1#91-bis-e (TBC) 19 October 2020 28 October 2020 to happen – everyone will need plenty of

WG RAN1#103-e 26 October 2020 14 November 2020 prior notice, to get their travel plans and

diaries aligned.
WG RAN5#89-e 09 November 2020 20 November 2020 For that reason, the leadership has agreed
WG SA1#92-e 09 November 2020 18 November 2020 that physical meetings may only take
place if the meeting announcements and
WG SA3#101-e 09 November 2020 20 November 2020 invitations are sent out no later than 8

WG SA5#134-e 16 November 2020 25 November 2020 weeks ahead of the meeting start date.
Despite the fear that the Autumn may
TSG CT#90-e 07 December 2020 08 December 2020 bring further outbreaks of the COVID-19
TSG RAN#90-e 07 December 2020 11 December 2020 virus, it is reassuring to know that we now
have a process in place that would allow
TSG SA#90-e 09 December 2020 11 December 2020 the leadership to bring the work back in to
physical meetings - with that 8 week period
of notice – when the time is right.
