[CESG-All] [REVIEW REQUIRED] CCSDS Fall 2026 Technical Meeting - Matera, IT - Schedule Updates Needed

Thu Jul 23 09:36:41 EDT 2026

Dear CESG-All,

As you may know, the opening plenary and Common Ground forum will conclude on Monday, 19 October at 15:00 at the Gerardo Guerrieri Municipal Cinema Theater about 3-min from the building where the remainder of the Fall Technical Plenary will be held (Via San Rocco, 1, 75100 Matera MT, Italy). With this in mind, please review the attached room planning schedule and advise if you require any updates to your WG schedule.

The blue numbers represent confirmed headcounts I've received from you, and the red represents those I haven't heard from or if I emailed you with questions about scheduling or headcount.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Amber

Subject: [RESPONSE REQUIRED] CCSDS Fall 2026 Technical Meeting - Matera, IT Poll WG Chairs
Importance: High

Dear CESG-All Members,

As we prepare for the Fall 2026 Technical Meetings hosted by ASI, the CCSDS Secretariat needs to compile a meeting schedule that will accommodate the needs of each Area, WG, BoF, or SSG who plan to meet in person. The CCSDS Technical Meetings will be a 5-day event from 19-23 October.

The Secretariat believes it is best to poll the CESG-All to request the needs of each group that will be meeting. This will allow us to better schedule and assign rooms as well as virtual tools needed based on the needs and number of participating.

If you are a Chairperson, please respond to me by Wed, 8 July 2026 with the following information about your group's requirements (please follow the template shown):

  *   Which working group is meeting?: CCSDS Optical Comm Working Group
  *   When would you like to meet?: Time of the meeting(s) 0845-1245, 0845-1730, 1230-1730 and days required (i.e. Mon-Wed, Mon-Fri,  Tuesday only)
  *   Estimate of the number of In-Person Attendees?: 25
  *   All joint meetings need to be accounted for properly, therefore, please provide headcount numbers and names of the working groups who will be meeting as best as possible.
  *   Or, if you anticipate your schedule remaining the same as your Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 meeting schedule, please advise.

The Secretariat will then process the requests and assign rooms based on the identified headcount needs as ASI is able to provide conference/breakout rooms for each group. The plan is for meeting registration to be deployed online around late July at the request of our host agency for their planning.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you in October!

Thank you,

Amber
