[Tools-discuss] interim meetings calendar

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

When we have official (virtual) interim meetings, it requires IESG approval,
and the secretariat makes an announcement.  I don't know if the secretariat
has a way to record these in the datatracker in such a way that a ics feed
can be created?   Do we have plans to make that happen?

We do not require approval for design team meetings, but I feel it would be
useful to keep track of them.

I don't propose to change that, but rather to make it easier for people to
know when things are, given time zones, etc. and that CST doesn't always mean
North America Central time... and to make sure everyone has the right meeting
join URLs.

My suggestion for an interim measure is for the secretariat to maintain a
calendar to which design teams and virtual interims could "invite".
(If using ietf.webex.com, you'd just always populate the who to invite with
this virtual calendar)

This could be trivially done with a google (or other) account/calendar that
auto-accepts all invitations.  Ideally, the ietf.webex.com would produce a
feed of all meetings it knows about.    This could be an @ietf.org alias
which later on goes into the datatracker perhaps.
