Summary

This Calext session covered several important topics, including the status of the Subscription Upgrade document, JS Calendar, JS Contact, and Tasks. Discussions focused on resolving outstanding questions, clarifying specifications, addressing implementation challenges, and planning future work. Key decisions were made regarding versioning for JS Calendar and JS Contact, and the group agreed to explore updating the iTIP specification.

Key Discussion Points

Subscription Upgrade: The document is in last call but has outstanding questions regarding the "Very" header. A quick review will be done to finalize it before sending it to the ASG.
JS Calendar: The group discussed the scheduling model differences between JS Calendar and ICalendar and the need for backward compatibility. Key topics included how to convert the scheduling information in ICalendar, and a call for more implementations and reviewers. The possibility of adding a version number to JS Calendar was also discussed.
JS Contact: The group aims to start a working group last call for JS Contact soon, after addressing a few nits and discussing versioning. The effort to align JS Contact with vCard and other protocols was highlighted.
Tasks: The discussion focused on changes related to the VSTATUS property and the use of the participant property. The group also debated the duration and estimated duration properties and a restriction in RFC 5545 requiring a DTSTART when a DURATION is present.
