Michael - it may not _quite_ be what you're looking for yet, but there 
is an ics download
of the upcoming interim meetings that the datatracker knows about already.

On https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/upcoming (which you can navigate 
to from the menus),
there's a [Download as .ics] button. It links to 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/upcoming.ics,
which you can subscribe to using your favorite calendaring program.
