2. Catalyst proposal to active cycle explained
A catalyst will go through six statuses to become active within the cycle, please take note of the six statuses below.
3. Catalyst contracts - MSA & SOWs
- Streamline the legal process for our members, helping them join a catalyst team and make the project active quicker
- Speed up contract negotiations
Please see further details about the contract process below:
Example If TM Forum were going to take part in three Catalyst projects this cycle, they would sign one MSA and then three smaller SOWs. Reducing the need for three separate lengthy contracts.
N. B Standard Catalyst contracts can still be issued if the member or participating company cannot sign an MSA
