> existing iCalendar XML specification and offer some or all of the
> functionality of that specification.

> Version 1 of the specification and reference implementation for 
> building systems and smart grid interactions are anticipated 
> to be complete six months after the initial meeting.

> an aggressive schedule, in support of the NIST smart grid priority actions
