Calendaring and Scheduling Simplification BOF (calsify)

Tuesday, August 2 at 0900-1000
===============================

CHAIRS: Cyrus Daboo <[email protected]>
       RL 'Bob' Morgan <[email protected]>

DESCRIPTION:

Calendaring and Scheduling is currently defined in RFCs 2445, 2446 and
2447. These documents have been available for several years now, and a
number of implementations exist. However, a number of interoperability
problems exist between these implementations, some due to bugs in the
specifications, some due to lack of clarity in the specifications and
some due to under specification of key behaviors. As a result,
interoperable calendaring and scheduling has not been truly achieved.

The purpose of this BOF is to discuss revising RFCs 2445, 2446 and 2447
with the primary goal of achieving interoperability over the range of
calendaring and scheduling tasks needed in real world situations. The
goal of the BOF is to come up with a clear direction on how those
revisions should be done, including the scope of changes. The desired
outcome is a set of major charter points and milestones for a proposed
IETF calsify working group.

Input to this BOF will be a problem statement internet-draft
draft-daboo-calsify-issues-00.txt that pulls together existing document
errata, known problems with the specs and results from interoperability
tests. In addition, draft-royer-ical-basic-01.txt provides one possible
direction for revisions.
