what's the best practice for scheduling meetings with multiple
attendees? It seems silly, but when you send a meeting request to 10
people, 9 are fine with it, and then one wants a new time. When you
propose that new time, 5 others can't do it...

is there something I'm missing here? (and I am looking for a
consistent 'free time' in all schedules...)

thanks in advance,

-J

There are seldom technological solutions to human interaction problems. Face
it. People are busy. The more people you invite to a meeting, the more
declines you'll get. Best practice is to check free/busy availability before
scheduling the meeting.

Ask your boss to schedule the appointment.

Alternatively, use the AutoPick Next feature!
