As a telecommunications provider (or a future telecommunications provider), you must make an application to be added to the register of eligible persons if you wish to be able to vote on certain draft telecommunications access codes.
The register lists persons who may be able to vote on draft telecommunications access codes that are:
prepared by the TCF (New Zealand Telecommunications Forum) and to be submitted to the Commission for approval
prepared by the Commission.
This process is separate from the consultation process on the Copper Withdrawal Code, 111 Contact Code and Retail Service Quality Codes. You do not need to be on the register to participate in the consultation process for these codes.
We manage applications to add persons to the register and make this information public.
Applications to add a person to the register of eligible persons must be made using the application form below. The application form lists the specific criteria to be entitled to register.
We endeavour to complete any assessment within 15 working days of receiving a complete application.
If we decline an application, we will provide the applicant with a written explanation.
If you have any questions on the Eligible persons register process, you can email us at market.regulation@comcom.govt.nz, with “Eligible persons register” in the subject line.
