The requirements for management of VoIP Resources and Services is being issued as Member issue version 1.0. It can be considered valid until May 2006, at which time the TM Forum expects to update it to reflect comments from implementation experience, as well as to reflect additional member comment. This version of Business Agreement supersedes earlier draft versions in its entirety.

The purpose of an Evaluation Version is to encourage input based on experience of members and the public as they begin to use the document. Following the Evaluation Period, documents that are seen to deliver value are candidates for formal approval by the TM Forum. All documents approved by the TM Forum undergo a formal review and approval process.

This document will continue under formal change control. Supporting work will be issued as revisions to this document. A document of this type is a “living document,” capturing and communicating current knowledge and practices. Further inputs will be made because of detailed work ongoing in the TM Forum and the industry.
