Can an ETSI Observer become an Individual Member of 3GPP?
No, an ETSI Observer may “observe” all activities, but their participation is limited to the ETSI General Assembly only. Therefore, ETSI Observers have no participation rights in 3GPP. ETSI Observers have access to ETSI documentation and of course to 3GPP documentation since that is openly published on the web. 3GPP does have it’s own category called “Observer” but that is entirely different and is used for potential Partners.
