1.11. New Initiatives

• CalConnect will initiate TC-XML in the area of XML representation of iCalendar data.

• CalConnect will support vCard via existing work within extant TCs plus a coordinating function in TC CHAIRS, but will not initiate a new TC for vCard at this time. The public vcard-workshop-l mailing list will be retained as a way of continuing to involve external participants in ongoing focus in this area.

• CalConnect is exploring offering an invitational “meet CalConnect” event in Europe later this year as a way to introduce potential members to the Consortium.

• CalConnect has initated a Guest Speaker program to invite selected individuals to speak to CalConnect who are unlikely to attend Roundtables due to locale or work interests.
