CCSDS Management Council

A CCSDS Member Agency is a governmental or quasi-governmental organization that fully participates in all CCSDS activities and provides a commensurate level of support. Unlike other participating entities, each Member Agency has CCSDS voting rights and thus the power to decide on CCSDS business. Member Agencies name individual representatives to the CCSDS Management Council (CMC), who exercise Member Agency voting rights to determine the overall direction of the organization.
