The DVB\-T2 draft standard was ratified by the DVB Steering Board on 26 June 2008, and published on the DVB homepage as *DVB\-T2 standard BlueBook*. It was handed over to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute ([ETSI](/wiki/ETSI "ETSI")) by DVB.ORG on 20 June 2008\.[ETSI timetable for DVB\-T2](http://omploader.org/va2Rp) 
The ETSI process resulted in the DVB\-T2 standard being adopted on 9 September 2009\. The ETSI process had several phases, but the only changes were text clarifications. Since the DVB\-T2 physical layer specification was complete, and there would be no further technical enhancements, receiver VLSI chip design started with confidence in stability of specification. A draft PSI/SI (program and system information) specification document was also agreed with the DVB\-TM\-GBS group.
