Clocks are social constructs, and your system needs to have some decision in it about whose clocks take precedence over other ones. No matter which of these you choose, there's a possibility that someone says: "Hey! That's wrong! I never agreed to that": 1. The meeting shall be in precisely N seconds, no exceptions. (UTC, or something very close to it.) 2. The meeting shall be when participant A's wall-clock shows X. 3. The meeting shall be when participant B's wall-clock shows Y. At the present instant, you might have predicted values so that X Y and N all land on the same spot, but the prediction is not reliable and the equality will collapse if anybody's government makes timezone changes. Or if their country is taken over by another. Or splits due to civil war. |
