[VCARDDAV] iCalendar and vCard in JSON: WG draft charter

[Cyrus Daboo <[e-mail]>]

Hi folks,
At the prompting of the Weirds WG there is a need to move more quickly on 
developing specifications for JSON-based data formats for iCalendar and 
vCard data, without necessarily waiting on other (proposed) JSON working 
group work to proceed.

A proposed charter for a "fast-track" Working Group is posted at 
<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/appsawg/trac/wiki/jcardcal> for feedback. 
The charter defines aggressive milestones and attempts to limit the 
objectives such that those are achievable. Please review and post comments 
back to the apps-discuss list.

Whilst initial focus will be on the draft charter, some drafts have already 
been published describing possible (different) approaches. One for 
iCalendar: 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kewisch-et-al-icalendar-in-json/>, 
and one for vCard: 
<http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-bhat-vcarddav-json-00.txt>. We also hope to 
have an alternative jCard draft published in the next day or two that uses 
the same approach as draft-kewisch-et-al-icalendar-in-json. These should 
provide a good basis for initial input into the working group.
