ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provide for providing a group scheduling solution in which a hard-to-schedule attendee takes over responsibility for setting the start time of an event. In accordance with one implementation, an organizer sends a request to the hard-to-schedule person. The request may be maintained in a queue for the hard-to-schedule person. The hard-to-schedule person can then review the request and select a suitable time for the meeting, thereby causing an update to be sent back to the organizer and the other attendees and indicating the appointed time for the meeting. The organizer of the meeting can update the meeting details, etc. The hard-to-schedule person may change the start time or the duration of the meeting. The hard-to-schedule person can also decline the meeting entirely.
