ISO TCs
Sub-Committee-13 (SC13 (CCSDS))
Sub-Committee-14 (SC-14)
Debate about having a new TC for Space is continuing
Merger has not been agreed
Effort not worth the benefit
SC-13 working well at the moment
CEOS WGISS 24 Meeting, DLR, October 2007
SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AREA (SEA)
Area Director, Peter Shames (NASA JPL)
the System Engineering Area (SEA) is responsible for describing the overall architecture for space mission communications, operations, and cross-support.
System Architecture WG
Information Architecture WG
Space Assigned Numbers Authority (SANA) BoF
Space Ground Interoperability Architecture (SGIA) BoF
Special Interest Group (SIG) that has just started to develop XML Standards & Guidelines (XSG). 
Working on:
Reference Architecture for Space Information Management (RASIM)
CEOS WGISS 24 Meeting, DLR, October 2007
MISSION OPERATIONS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES AREA (MOIMS)
Area Director, Nestor Peccia (ESA)
The MOIMS Area includes all of the flight execution phase applications required to operate the spacecraft mission and its ground system in response to mission objectives, and associated detailed information management standards and processes.
Data Archive Ingestion (DAI) - follow-up to OAIS
Navigation (NAV)
Spacecraft Monitor & Control (SM&C)
SAFE format for archiving being worked on in this Area
CEOS WGISS 24 Meeting, DLR, October 2007
CROSS SUPPORT SERVICES AREA (CSS)
Area Director, Gerard Lapaian (CNES)
The CSS Area concerns the extension of the space link on the ground between the ground station and the Mission Data Operation Service.
Working on
SPACECRAFT ONBOARD INTERFACE SERVICES AREA (SOIS)
Area Director, Patrick Plancke (ESA/ESTEC)
the SOIS Area objective is to radically improve on-board data systems design and development process by defining generic services that will simplify the way flight software interacts with flight hardware.
Time Critical Onboard Applications Services (TCOAS) WG
Time Critical Onboard Networking (TCONS) WG
Onboard Bus and LAN (OBL) WG
Plug and Play BoF
Wireless S/C Interfaces BoF
SPACE LINK SERVICES AREA (SLS)
Area Director, Jean-Luc Gerner (ESA/ESTEC)
The SLS Area is responsible for developing efficient space link communications.  It concentrates on layers 1 & 2 (of OSI protocol stack), namely: RF & modulation, channel coding and data link layer, for both long-haul (e.g.: spacecraft to ground) and proximity links (e.g.: orbiter to lander).
Also covers: data compression for end to end data transfer
Several Working Groups
SPACE INTERNETWORKING SERVICES AREA (SIS)
Area Director, Robert Durst (MITRE)
The SIS Area provides services and protocols to address networked interactions of many forms:  between spacecraft and earth-based resources; among spacecraft; between spacecraft and landed elements; and within heterogeneous spacecraft.
Cislunar Space Internetworking (CSI) WG 
Asynchronous Messaging Services (AMS) WG
CFDP Interoperability Testing WG
More working groups below

IP over CCSDS
New Collaborative Work Environment (CWE) based on MS Sharepoint
CEOS WGISS 24 Meeting, DLR, October 2007
Summary of common interests
Reference Architecture for Space Information Management (RASIM)
ESA’s SAFE Format being proposed for long-term digital archive of ESA data.
Work on lossy and loss-less data compression being carried out.
Work on long-term digital archiving continuing.
Data Archive Ingestion (DAI) - follow-up to OAIS
Information Packaging & Registries (IPR) – includes XFDU
