The CT TSG of 3GPP has elected a new Chairman during their 67th Plenary meeting, in Shanghai this week.

The full election result is that Georg Mayer (Huawei) is elected to the post of Chairman, Martin Dolly (AT&T) is re-elected Vice Chairman with Nigel Berry (Alcatel-Lucent) and Atsushi Minokuchi (NTT DOCOMO) elected as new Vice Chairmen of the group.

Mr. Mayer is a Senior Standards Manager at Huawei Technologies and is the serving 3GPP CT1 Working Group Chairman, so brings a high level of experience and expertise to his new role - gained over more than 15 years of participation in the Core Network groups within 3GPP.

The picture, here right, shows Atle Monrad – the sitting CT Chairman who has completed the maximum number of sequential terms as CT Chair - handing over the Chairman’s bell during the meeting yesterday.

(The official Appointment by the 3GPP PCG will follow in due course)
