Chris Acker

Founder and editor, 3GPP Scout

Chris is a former founding engineer at Skylo Technologies, a non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite connectivity company.

He has spent six years working where telecom meets AI. He built Scout so engineers can find the clause or meeting record that settles a question without hunting through the archive.

Other public profiles are not listed here. Email is the way to reach him.

What the editor is responsible for

The rules every page follows

He sets which sources Scout may use, how much of each it may quote, and which checks each page type must pass.

The rules are on the Methodology page.

What is published and what search engines see

He decides when a new page type goes live and when its pages are opened to search engines.

A weekly review of what went out

Each Monday he gets a review packet for the meeting pages: what was published, audit and review results, held pages, and two pages suggested for a full read.

Corrections

Reported errors come to him. Each fix goes back through the same checks, and the corrections log lists it.

What the editor does not do

He does not read every page before it goes live

Meeting, update, reference and OCUDU pages are built by code and language models. They publish when they pass every automated check.

A page that fails a check is held, and its last passing version stays up.

Pages that name him were edited by him

A page with an "Edited by Chris Acker" line, such as a newsroom briefing, was edited by him before it was published.
