- Description of Working Group:
-
-
- The Chronos protocol Working Group is chartered to define a
- protocol for the management of calendars, appointments and schedules
- over the Internet. In defining this protocol, several questions must
- be addressed. The role of the calendar administrator must be defined.
- Differing levels of security need to be specified to allow maximum
- functionality yet still allow privacy and flexibility. The scope of
- the protocol should also be evaluated; how much burden should we put
- on the server, on the client? Additionally the behavior of multiple
- chronos servers must be analyzed.
-
- This protocol should be able to be developed and stabilized
- within 6-8 months, since there is already a draft specification to work
- from. The process is subject to extension if many new features are
- added, or more revision is needed.
-
-
-

-
- Mar 91 Spring IETF meeting. Review final draft and if OK, give
