Introduction
Roundtable XXII took place on October 5-7, 2011, hosted by Kerio Technologies in Prague, Czech Republic. The event was attended by 22 people from 14 organizations. The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on October 3-5. Fifteen people from 8 organizations were present onsite. plus one remotely.
The Roundtable was dedicated to technical committee sessions, and informal discussions and networking, with an all-hands Plenary meeting as the last item on Friday afternoon. The Technical Committee sessions were as usual organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
