iCalendar invites - How does the Organizer role works?

I found a couple of issues in using iCal and I am using Lotus Notes.

1. With  "Use iCal organizer" settings is enabled, the user who has created the invitation is assigned as the organizer of the meeting. But, strangely the organizer will not have the meeting invite sets up in his/her calendar only the participants will receives it.

--> This creates confusion as after sending the invite out I DO NOT get any feedback on whether the meeting invite is sent out.

2. As an organizer, i do not know who accepted the meeting invite.

Thanks
