Since several years space acitivites in general and the International Space Station in detail are in a transition phase from pure government funding to commercial funding. BEOS, the Astrium center for commercial ISS projects, has pursued this commercialization process since its beginning. The paper will present in the first part the BEOS approach and concept to setup the transition from purely government fundend activities to commercial space activities. Space commerce in the future is envisioned as a web of commercial activities in and in support of Earth orbital space that is identical to terrestrial commerce in every resect except location. All of the commercial mechanism that function on the ground will be at work in space commerce. Aspects on how government organisations and space agencies would have to adopt their way of doing business to the commercial market, based on the analysis of the "International Space Policy Working Group" - (SPWG) will be shown. Here a roadmap will be proposed from industries' perspective to support the space agencies in the setup of a framework covering the political, financial, technical and programmatic and legal aspects. This theoretical approach has been implemented by means of first commercial pathfinder projects, which will as well be presented.
