FYI, here is the recharter text that Simon and I worked out. The IESG
will consider this matter in its telechat this Thursday.

vCard and CardDAV (vcarddav)
-----------------------------------
Current Status: Active Working Group
Last Updated: 2011-8-04

Description of Working Group:

A personal address book (PAB) contains a read/write copy of attributes
describing a user's interpersonal contacts. This is distinct from a
directory which contains a primarily read-only copy of users within an
organization. While these two data objects share a large number of
common attributes, their use and access patterns are fundamentally
different. The IETF has a standards-track data format (vCard 4.0) and an
access protocol (CardDAV) for the interchange of both PABs and user
directory entry data objects.

Having completed its work on the base vCard and CardDAV specifications,
the VCARDDAV working group currently focuses on extensions to those two
technologies. In particular, the WG will complete the following work:

(1) A limited set of extensions to vCard (and its XML representation) as
well as to CardDAV. Extensions are accepted for group consideration
based on normal IETF consensus rules and in consultation with the
responsible Area Director.

(2) A lossless mapping between LDAP and vCard 4.0.

Goals and Milestones

Sep 2011       Submit simple extensions to IESG as Proposed Standard
               - draft-ietf-vcarddav-kind-app
               - draft-ietf-vcarddav-birth-death-extensions

Nov 2011       Adopt draft for LDAP mapping as working group item
               - draft-cal-resource-schema or its equivalent will be
                 taken as the starting point

Dec 2011       Submit social networking extensions to IESG as Proposed
               Standard
               - draft-george-vcarddav-vcard-extension will be taken
                 as the starting point

Dec 2011       Submit OMA extensions to IESG as Proposed Standard
               - draft-cauchie-vcarddav-oma-cab-extensions will be
                 taken as the starting point

Dec 2011       Submit CardDAV extensions to IESG as Proposed Standard
               - draft-daboo-carddav-directory-gateway will be taken
                 as the starting point

April 2012     Submit LDAP mapping to IESG as Proposed Standard
