<i>This message is going to all of the lists where I posted our
original request for responses to the Consortium Recurrence
Questionnaire, so many of you will see it more than once.&nbsp; My apologies
for the duplications.<br>
<br>
</i><br>
Recently I posted a request on several of the calendaring discussion
lists for organizations with calendaring products/implementations to
please respond to our Recurrence Questionnaire.&nbsp; We've had sixteen
formal responses so far, and are delighted at both the number of
responses and the thought and care put into them.<br>
<br>
Our RECURR technical committee is beginning an analysis of the
responses, and may be contacting responders if we have additional
questions.&nbsp; We hope to have our analysis done and a report issued in
the next few weeks.&nbsp; The report will be posted on the Calconnect web
site and will be announced publicly to these discussion lists.&nbsp; As
noted in <br>
my original posting, the report will maintain the confidentiality of
the individual responses and will report results in an aggregate and
narrative fashion.<br>
<br>
We also wanted to let everyone know that there will be some more
questionnaires in the future.&nbsp; Several responders suggested a slightly
different questionnaire tackling recurrence issues at a higher and more
qualitative level, and we have begun work on that questionnare.&nbsp; We
hope to announce it within the next two-three weeks. &nbsp;<br>
<br>
Additionally, other Calconnect technical committes are considering
questionnaires in other areas of the RFCs of particular interest to the
Calsify effort as it develops, so there is a good chance we'll be
announcing these as they become ready for public consumption.&nbsp; We hope
that you will be as supportive of these future questionnaires and help
us with them as well.<br>
<br>
Several responders have remarked that they found the exercise of
filling out the questionnaire to be of help in understanding better
their own&nbsp; implementations, and we hope our future questionnaires,
focusing on other parts of the RFCs, will be as useful to you as we
hope they will be to us.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
