So, shouldn't the attachment point to the agenda?
That way, you get the layer of indirection, which lets the chairs actually
make sure the link is correct.

Until the IETF is paying for (and getting via SLA) support from Webex, with
some serious commitment to full-functionality cross-platform, I'd rather that
we did no further integration with webex, API or not.
At this point, Cisco donates Webex to us, and we get no SLA. We can't report bugs.

That would also be cool :-)
But it would be another proprietary integration.

I would volunteer for do a short demo for WG chairs of using Doodle better.
Many WG chairs are not aware of how it integrates with calendars, and so
often do not "pick" the meeting in doodle. (That clears up tentative values).
And I would support having doodle integration, if IETF were to become a
"business user" of doodle... That would require an RFP, etc.
