Scope: Parts 1 and 4 to 10 of the ES series The 4 extension packages (ES , ~782, ~784, ~785) Proforma for TTCN-3 reference test suite  Cooperation with STF 160 on language requirements of LTE testing (interim version around middle of the year)  Cooperation with STF409 on Development of TTCN-3 conformance test suite  Two new language extension packages  Advanced TRI  Continuous Signal support  „Maintenance“ work (i.e. no new standard is developed)  Except reporting problems, CRs are often requesting smaller additions, new fearures -> TTCN-3 „maintenance“ also includes development work
