In 3 GPP, TDocs are not re-issued with “rev 1” suffixes. Each revision gets a new TDoc number. If you provide a TDoc to the meeting, then find there is an error in it … • Do not attempt to retract the document from the meeting inbox and replace it ! • Withdraw it and obtain a new TDoc number for the correction. © 3 GPP 2009 Mobile.
