  * jscalendar
    - v19 has been published with a few small changes
    - Will do one more update with remaining comments from CalConnect call,
    then go direct to working group last call. - Will email iana with “here’s
    what we propose" concurrently with the working group last call.
  * jscalendar to icalendar translation
    - (wasn’t on agenda, but is related)
    - we won’t wait on this for jscalendar last call - but will continue work
    after jscalendar working group last call feedback is integrated
  * subscription upgrade
    - needs minor updates, will get done this week
    - next step: working group last call
  * valarm extensions
    - Daniel will loop around to geopriv people for comment on location alarms
    - Document needs to be updated to explain why geopriv issue is mitigated
    - Ken expects to have an update for that in the next two weeks.
    - After that, last call!
  * calext-maintenance-notifications
    - This has been floating around a while within the industry, multiple orgs
    want a way to share standardised notifications, asking us for advice! -
    feedback was “don’t use X-NAME”, suggestions were define new properties or
    use structured data from eventpub. - if using structured data, could make
    the schema public, potentially on schema.org - in general the idea of using
    a regular iCalendar event with a payload is good - may not even need to do
    an IETF document if using structured-data payload. - but maybe the other
    vendors want it locked down?  Maybe a best current practices doc around how
    the payload is being used. - Next steps: Twitch team will take our feedback
    to the other vendors and discuss their options.
  * vpoll
    - What’s there clearly works now
    - Definitely want to replace VVOTER with PARTICIPANT
    - Ken will help Mike rewrite to split core and basic mode
    - Implementation status: multiple compatible implementations, it’s been
    shown to work in testing, but they’ll all need to be updated! - Want to
    make sure nobody starts shipping before we’ve made the direction changes we
    want! - Next steps: new draft showing which direction we’re taking it, then
    circle back to collect feedback and test again.
  * series
    - Current draft is expired
    - There was some discussion, it clearly needs some work.
    - Next step: call for adoption immediately, upload with working-group file
    name if adopted, then work on detail.
  * Other business
    - No other business.
    - We have asked for an hour in Singapore, hopefully it will cross over OK
    with timezone to allow remote participants to join. - Let’s get these
    current documents done - November will be a good checkpoint.
