As part of my job duties I recently wrote a specification for a
Calendar/Appointment Manager that uses the client-server model. I
sent a note off to Jon Postel, and he referred me to rdhobby@ucdavis.
He read my specification and thought it was neat.
He told me I should organize an IETF working group to flesh out the
protocol. However he's probably quite busy, I haven't heard from him
in a few days, so.......... I've taken it upon myself to set up a
working group. I don't have a charter or any other mumbo-jumbo, but I
have set up the following mail-aliases for discussions relating to the
topic, they are:
chronos@boombox.micro.umn.edu --General discussion
chronos-request@boombox.micro.umn.edu --Add/Delete from the list (me)
If anyone is interested in standardizing calendar/appointment managers
please get in contact with me via the above list. Basically the
intent of this protocol is to steer users at our university away from
PROFS systems.
If there is any interest I'll post the draft specification here. (It's
pretty long).

Whoa boy! There has been quite a response. So I've made the
draft specification available via anonymous ftp on the host
boombox.micro.umn.edu in the directory /pub/ietf.
Also, if you want to join the discussion of this protocol, send
mail to chronos-request@boombox.micro.umn.edu.
Thanks!
