6. 3GPP Working Procedure highlights
Membership
Open to members of 3GPP Organizational Partners
Decision making
1 member 1 vote
Voting rights are earned: member added to voting list if attends 2 meetings, removed from list if he misses 3 consecutive meetings
Proxies permitted
Access to information
All working documents open to the public
All lists open to the public
Meeting participation restricted to 3GPP members
Meeting documents, lists, next meeting details etc.:

7. Ways of working
New work initiated by member companies via Work Items outlining scope and time plan.
Work Items prioritised if all estimated work cannot be done by the scheduled release deadline.
All 3GPP member companies contributes on equal terms on any work item
3GPP seeks consensus on all technical matters (but has mechanisms if consensus cannot be reached)
Release deadline respected, unfinished work deferred to a later release

8. 3GPP Working Procedure highlights
Release-based work
Releases or major packages of Features
Multiple releases maintained in parallel
Work plan built using Features, Building Blocks and Work Tasks
Work Item Description exists for each of these
WI may cover more than one specification
WI may cover more than one committee
WI Description document exists for each WI
3GPP WorkPlan:

9. 3GPP Working Procedure highlights
Change Control
Each release progressively frozen as it is developed
Specifications pass under Change Control
Rapporteur may no longer update drafts
All changes managed by TSG
Change Request process to introduce corrections/updates
Package of CRs approved 4 times per year at TSG Plenary meeting
CR database:
CRs also searchable per specification via 3GPP website
CR process provides full traceability of all changes to every specification
Release and CR process closely related to network equipment development and supply contracts

11. About oneM2M www.onem2m.org ETSI is a founding partner in oneM2M
Along with ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, TIA, TTA, TTC (Type 1 partners)
Organized along lines of 3GPP
To develop a common M2M Service Layer that can be readily embedded within various hardware and software, and relied upon to connect the myriad of devices in the field with M2M application servers worldwide. 
First meeting September 2012
250 active member organizations
First specifications expected Q2 2014
