Technical Summary:
This document defines a set of extensions to the iCalendar VALARM component to enhance use of alarms and improve interoperability between clients and servers.

Nothing to be noted; the document got few reviews on the list, but the specification benefits from existing deployments and discussion internal at calconnect as well as during the joint ietf/calconnect meetings.
