Reorganize COP-1/COP-P into one Combined Blue Book5.04 Space Link Protocols Working Group5.04 SLS-SLPBlueApprovedNASANot RequiredNot RequiredNot RequiredNASACNES, DLR, UKSA
Mostly a secretariat task to create one CCSDS blue book from the COP-P in 211.0-B-6 and the CCSDS 232.1-B-2.
Reorganized Prox-1 Space Data Link Protocol Blue Book5.04 Space Link Protocols Working Group5.04 SLS-SLPBlue211.0-B-7ApprovedNASANot RequiredNot RequiredNot RequiredNASACNES, DLR, ESA, UKSA
There are  no technical changes to occur in this project. It is simply a reorganization of CCSDS 211.0-B, in order to split out the COP-P and session control portions, so that the core link layer protocol document similar to the other SDLPs remain.
Space Link Protocol Session Control5.04 Space Link Protocols Working Group5.04 SLS-SLPBlueApprovedNASANot RequiredNot RequiredNot RequiredNASACNES, DLR, ESA, UKSA
This is essentially a task that reorganizes existing material in 211.0-B-6 (session control) and puts it into a new generic CCSDS blue book. Any specific references to the Prox-1 Transfer Frame will be replaced with transfer frame, etc...

Coherent Optical Communications5.10 Optical Communications Working Group5.10 SLS-OPTBlueApprovedNASANASAESACNES, DLR, ESA, JAXA, NASA
The O3K recommendations are years behind schedule but that is due to a lack of prototypes.  However, the O3K Coding and Synhronization protoypes are almost complete (>95%); the O3K Physical prototypes are about 50% complete.  This Blue Book is relying on the resources of agencies not tied up in the O3K recommendations and prototypes.
