The scheduling procedure for group meeting scheduling is similar to that of an individual meeting, except for a group, all attendees are automatically notified of the meeting and the meeting is optionally penciled in on attendees' calendars.

The same basic forms of dialog are used for both individual and group meeting scheduling. The dialogs are:

1. The user requests a meeting to be scheduled for a range of possible dates.

2. The system responds with a list of possible times in that range.

3. The user selects one of the possible times and confirms the meeting.

[Make sure the following stuff gets included in this section: the scheduling system automatically figures out if the current user is the leader of one or more of the groups (??or individuals??) listed in the attendees list, and if so prompts with a confirmation that asks if the meeting should be penciled in on those users' calendars.

I'm thinking that we may want to keep it simple here and only allow pencil-in when meetings are scheduled for registered groups. So here's a plausible rule: in the confirmation dialog, the following information/questions are included: (1) You are a leader of the following group(s) whose attendance you've requested; do you want to pencil-in for them? (2) You do not have pencil-in authority over the following user/group calendars: ... ; do you want to send email notices announcing the meeting to these users? (3) the following individually listed attendees are also in one or more of the listed groups:

The dialog for scheduling a meeting is quite similar to scheduling an appointment. In particular, the following fields are exactly the same in both dialogs: Title, Recurring, Category, Priority, Location. ]
