Say the meeting's been sent, and someone has an exception. Should be a single click again for next-next earliest.
This would solve most of my one-off meet needs.
When important stuff needs to be discussed, it's often red all day with no or very small gaps.
Of course, it's hard for me to know which meetings they really need to be in and which they accepted just to listen in on, they're red in my calendar regardless. If it's just one I can ask, but if I need more than one it gets quite tedious.
We offer a number of times/dates and if it’s a high profile meeting we have to block them all on our side until they respond. It’s a lot of steps for something that could be automated somehow, especially if there are key folks who may need to change at the last moment.
Occasionally it can take a couple of rounds. It’s the uncertainty of it and owning it that’s the thing.
