It would be nice if there was simply a context menu (right click or button) to simply "forward" the calendar event in an email to another person.

Not quite sure I understand. You'd like to invite someone to an event where you are not the organizer? This is not possible, since you are not the organizer. If you would like to just share an event with someone else (without adding him as an attendee), then I can imagine forwarding with METHOD:PUBLISH though. Is this what you want?

If you mean the secretary scenario (you want to accept the invitation on behalf of someone else) this is called "delegation". There are bugs on this existing.

Hello,

I want effectively to forward an event to somebody not invited so I Select the event and then you see on the left top hand side the possibility to forward the event. 

In step 2 (further attachment) you will see that I am able to send it to whoever I want

Yes, this looks much like delegation ("on behalf of..."). Thanks for your report!
