Thanks for the file. Unfortunately it is not a valid iCalendar file as the VERSION property is missing. That property is required by the iCalendar specification (rfc2445 section 4.6).

To fix this, just add the following line below the 'BEGIN:VCALENDAR' line:

VERSION:2.0

In addition, each VEVENT component needs to have a UID property with a unique identifier in each one. Whilst the syntax of section 4.6.1 of rfc2446 implies that that parameter is optional, the description for the parameter itself (section 4.8.4.7) actually says it MUST be present. The Calisfy working group is attempting to fix ambiguities in the spec like that, amongst other things.

I did 'fix' my version of the file with suitable changes and was able to import it correctly into my client.

Also, I note there is a new updated agenda out that is different from the one you posted.

BTW I think it might be worthwhile for the folks working on tools for IETF processes to look into having an automatic iCalendar generator for IETF agendas as a lot of people now have iCal capable clients that they could use to display the agendas. Another case where we should eat our own dog food!
