Hi folks, I would like to draw your attention to: <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-daboo-calendar-availability-00.txt> This draft defines a new iCalendar component whose purpose is to convey user availability time periods. This differs from VFREEBUSY in that the components can specify repeating/recurring periods. So it is useful for defining regular "office hours" etc. In addition to defining the new VAVAILABILITY component and explaining how it affects free-busy determination, the spec also describes how CalDAV can use these in its own free-busy operations. Please note that discussion of this draft should take place on the ietf-caldav mailing list: <mailto:ietf-caldav@osafoundation.org> So please reply there with any comments you might have. This specification comes from work done in the Calendaring & Scheduling Consortium and is being submitted to the IETF for further discussion, review and hopefully on to standardization. This draft does have a dependency on the Calsify 2445bis work (specifically IANA registration of the new component), so it will follow that down standardization path. -- Cyrus Daboo
