2.  Introduction

   This specification details how the PARTICIPANT component introduced
   in [RFC9073] may be used for scheduling in place of [RFC5545]
   ATTENDEE and ORGANIZER properties.  Additionally, some properties are
   defined in this specification to be used within the PARTICIPANT
   component.

   For all existing schedulable and publishable components, VEVENT,
   VTODO, VFREEBUSY, and VAVAILABILITY; the ORGANIZER and ATTENDEE
   properties MUST be supplied as appropriate.  For new components such
   as VPOLL, defined elsewhere, only PARTICIPANT components MUST be
   used.

   A participant object that takes part in group scheduling MUST have
   the following characteristics:

   *  It MUST have a calendar address as definied in Section 6.4 of
      [RFC9073].

   *  It must have one or more scheduling roles defined in PARTICIPANT-
      TYPE

   Scheduling with PARTICIPANT components behaves exactly as with
   ATTENDEE and ORGANIZER properties.  When iTip specifies the setting
   of ATTENDEE or ORGANIZER parameters then the appropriate PARTICIPANT
   property will be set.

3.  Terms and definitions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   [RFC2119].

   The notation used in this memo to (re-)define iCalendar elements is
   the ABNF notation of [RFC5234] as used by [RFC5545].  Any syntax
   elements shown below that are not explicitly defined in this
   specification come from iCalendar [RFC5545].

   Additionally, the following terms are used:

3.1.  participant

   Represents an agent that takes part in scheduling or publishing.  A
   participant may be a human, for example an attendee, or a resource,
   for example a conference room.

3.2.  publishable

   A component which takes part in [RFC5546] publishing operations.

3.3.  schedulable

   A component which takes part in [RFC5546] scheduling operations.

4.  iCalendar Extensions

4.1.  New Property Parameters

4.1.1.  Required

   Parameter name  REQUIRED

   Purpose  To specify whether the associated property is required in
      the current context.

   Format Definition  This parameter is defined by the following
      notation:

   requirededparam = "REQUIRED"  "=" ("TRUE" / "FALSE")
     ; Default is FALSE

   Description  This parameter MAY be specified on REPLY-URL and, if the
      value is TRUE, indicates the organizer requires all replies to be
      made via the specified service rather than iTip replies.

4.1.2.  Stay-Informed

   Parameter name  STAY-INFORMED

   Purpose  To specify the voter also wants to be added as an ATTENDEE
      when the poll is confirmed.

   Format Definition  This parameter is defined by the following
      notation:

   stayinformedparam = "STAY-INFORMED"  "=" ("TRUE" / "FALSE")
                     ; Default is FALSE

   Description  This parameter MAY be specified on the CALENDAR-ADDRESS
      property in the PARTICIPANT component and, if the value is TRUE,
      indicates the voter wishes to be added to the final choice as a
      non-participant.

4.1.3.  Reply-URL

   Property name  REPLY-URL

   Purpose  This property may be used in scheduling messages to indicate
      additional reply methods, for example a web-service.

   Value type  URI

   Property Parameters  Non-standard, required or iana parameters can be
      specified on this property.

   Conformance  This property MAY be specified in any schedulable
      component.

   Description  When used in a scheduling message this property
      indicates additional or required services that can be used to
      reply.  Typically, this would be a web service of some form.

   Format Definition  This property is defined by the following
      notation:

   reply-url = "REPLY-URL" reply-urlparams ":" uri CRLF

   reply-urlparams = *(
                     (";" requiredparam) /
                     (";" other-param)
                     )

5.  New Participant Properties for iTip

   The following properties are defined to be used within PARTICIPANT
   during scheduling and take the place of ATTENDEE and ORGANIZER
   properties and parameters.

5.1.  Kind

   Property name  KIND

   Purpose  This is what kind of entity this participant is, if known.

   Property Parameters  Non-standard or iana parameters can be specified
      on this property.

   Conformance  This property MAY be specified in a PARTICIPANT
      component.

   Description  When used in a PARTICIPANT component this property

Internet-Draft              iTip participants                   May 2024


      indicates the kind of entity, individual, group etc.

      It takes the va;ues hown below which are a redefinition of the
      CUTYPE parameter values defined in [RFC5545] and aligned with
      [RFC8984] .

   Format Definition  This property is defined by the following
      notation:

   kind = "KIND" kindparams ":"
                   "INDIVIDUAL"   ; An individual
                 / "GROUP"        ; A group of individuals
                 / "RESOURCE"     ; A physical resource
                 / "LOCATION"     ; A location resource e.g a room
   known
                 iana-token ("," iana-token) CRLF

   kindparams = *(";" other-param)

5.2.  Redefined participation type

   This specification redefines the PARTICIPATION-TYPE property allowing
   it to take multiple values and extending those values to align with
   [RFC8984] roles.  There are also changes to the description to
   clarify its use defining the roles that participant takes.

   Property name  PARTICIPANT-TYPE

   Purpose  This property is equivalent to the [RFC5545] ATTENDEE ROLE
      parameter but includes more values to align with [RFC8984].

   Value Type  The value type for this property is TEXT.  The allowable
      values are defined below.

   Property Parameters  Non-standard or iana parameters can be specified
      on this property.

   Conformance  This property MUST be specified once within a
      "PARTICIPANT" component.

   Description  This property defines the type of participation, that is
      the roles the participant takes.

      It includes the values defined in [RFC8984].

      Note that the kind of participant, for example individual or
      group, is defined in the KIND property specified here.

Internet-Draft              iTip participants                   May 2024


      Some of the roles are required for the participant to be a
      schedulable object.  These are the roles that are shown below.

   Format Definition  This property is defined by the following
      notation:

   participanttype   = "PARTICIPANT-TYPE" partvalueparam ":"
                        partvalue
                        *("," partvalue) CRLF

   partvalue    = ("OWNER"
                  / "ATTENDEE"
                  / "OPTIONAL"
                  / "INFORMATIONAL"
                  / "CHAIR"
                  / "ACTIVE"
                  / "INACTIVE"
                  / "SPONSOR"
                  / "CONTACT"
                  / "BOOKING-CONTACT"
                  / "EMERGENCY-CONTACT"
                  / "PUBLICITY-CONTACT"
                  / "PLANNER-CONTACT"
                  / "PERFORMER"
                  / "SPEAKER"
                  / iana-token)     ; Other IANA-registered
                                    ; values

   partvalueparam   = *(";" other-param)

   The values have the same meaning as defined in [RFC8984] and
   [RFC9073].

   Other roles defined here have no direct equivalent in [RFC5545]

   To map [RFC5545] ATTENDEE ROLE values to PARTICIPANT-TYPE values use
   the following.
