37: Matters to be included in draft determination

You could also call this:

"What a draft decision about a service must include"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When a draft determination is made, it must include some important details. You need to know what functions a system must perform to deliver a service and how well it must do them. The draft determination must also explain how the cost of delivering the service will be shared between the parties involved and any new access providers.

The draft determination must include the reasons why it was made and the terms and conditions of the determination. It must also say what actions the parties involved must take or avoid taking. You should know that the draft determination will have an expiry date, which is the date when it will no longer be in effect.

If some details are already covered in an approved code, then the draft determination does not need to include them, especially when it comes to the functions a system must perform and how well it must do them.
