MOBILE Technical Committee

Revised Jul 2008

Charter

The goal of the Mobile technical committee is to identify the issues associated with mobile calendaring & scheduling and propose recommendations on how to address any problem areas.

This TC will provide the Consortium with information on the current state of mobile calendaring & scheduling and gather requirements and use cases specific to mobile environments. The TC will promote adoption of open calendaring standards for mobile devices (e.g. iCalendar and CalDAV) and create best practice documents as needed to assist implementation of these standards.

To achieve these goals, the TC intends to work in concert with organisations and vendors in the mobile industry.
