Introduction

Roundtable XVI took place on October 7-9 2009, hosted by Apple in Cupertino, California. The event was attended by 35 people from 19 members. The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event (CITE) was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on October 5-7. Five organizations and 13 people participated in the regular test event, performing interoperability testing between their calendaring and scheduling implementations; one observer was present. A report on the CITE will be published as soon as information has been delivered from all participants.

The Roundtable was dedicated to technical committee sessions, and informal discussions and networking, with an all-hands Plenary meeting as the last item on Friday afternoon. The Technical Committee sessions were as usual organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
