[CESG-All] [RESPONSE REQUIRED] CCSDS Fall 2026 Common Ground Forum II - Schedule Update

[Issler Jean-Luc]

Dear Amber, dear all,

I have not firm view (except none WG should occur during the Common Ground forum)  and I cannot access the pro & con slides before the 17th of august.

But I think that a certain number of CCSDS participants already booked their travel plan assuming the Commun Ground forum on Monday, and thinking about a preliminary agenda.

So maybe the Common Ground forum could be kept on Monday this time, and scheduled on Wednedsday from next year?

Have à Nice day; BR

Jean-Luc

To clarify – the expectation is for everyone to join the forum.

I’m not so wild about the “let WGs do their thing in parallel” – part of the value is the forced exposure to each other.

Dear Amber,

I think Wednesday will be a better option.  Presumably, Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti will still be available on Wednesday for those WG that prefer working on their standards?  If so, I think that could work out fairly well.

Best regards,
-Erik

Importance: High

Dear CCSDS Area Directors, WG Chairs, and Deputies,

As you may already be aware, for the Fall 2026 meeting in Matera this October, we are including the Common Ground Forum, which is now part of every in-person meeting held twice per year. The theme for this Forum will be:

Interoperability Standards for the New Space Economy

We would like your input on the scheduling of the Forum, which will span a half-day block. The options are Monday (Day 1) or Wednesday (Day 3). The attached slide outlines the pros and cons for each option.

On Monday, the theater is available only until 3:00 PM. This creates a tight window, though it may still be possible for WG members to still hold technical meetings after 3:00 PM.
If held on Wednesday, ASI has identified a local aerospace organization interested in hosting the Forum, providing a valuable opportunity for deeper industry engagement.
Please reply within 24 hours, as we need to make a decision as soon as possible.

The question is: Do you prefer the Forum to be held on Monday or Wednesday afternoon? Please respond assuming you will be present at the Forum.

Thank you.

Sami, Daniel, Shannon (and other troublemakers)
