RFC 2445 - NEXT / ICAL-BASIC

iCal-Basic - draft 00 has been submitted to the IETF for consideration.   It simplifies RFC 2445 Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar) in hopes of improving interoperability.    I plan to write about the new specifications and the thoughts behind some of the changes!

iCal Basic includes specifications for events only.  Items not related to events, such as, To Dos, Journals, Recurring Rules, and the need for Timezones will be placed into future extensions.

iCAL Basic stems from discussions of the participants of the CALSIFY group (CAL plus SImpliFY) which was formed when the IETF CALSCH group was closed.
