2.1.6 [RFC5545] Section 3.8.4.1, ATTENDEE MUST Be Present on Group-Scheduled Calendar Entities
The specification states, "This property MUST be specified in an iCalendar object that specifies a group-scheduled calendar entity."
Outlook does not export an ATTENDEE property on meetings in the following scenarios:
When exporting a PUBLISH-type draft meeting that the user has not added any attendees to yet.
When exporting an exception to an existing recurring meeting in which the attendee list was not modified. For more details, see [RFC5545].
