    - next step: immediate working group last call
  * 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.
