Start with RFC 2445, Section 4.7.1 Calendar Scale for the actual property. 
 

From there you will need to also look at the DATE (Section 4.3.4 Date) 
bits and maybe the DATE-TIME (Section 4.3.5 Date-Time) bits so they are 
correctly defined for JALLAI.  (Im assuming the time scales are the 
same...)

Finally you will need to look at any necessary changes for the recurrence 
grammar (Section 4.3.10 Recurrence Rule) bits to define the correct 
grammar sub-parts.  That is, you will want to adjust stuff like BYDAY 
values of "shanb", "yeksh", etc. and make sure the limits on values is 
adjusted accordingly.

Once you've done this, you write it up using the RFC template for drafts 
and submit it for review.  More detailed info can be found at
