    In which case a new calendar appointment will be circulated to the survivors with location and details. This mechanism already exists and is surely adequate.

      The point is to have some means, some facility, to schedule things 100% correctly in advance. If there literally is no possible method then that's a pretty surprising aspect of computer systems circa 2023.

        The real world is messy. We can't even predict when the sun will be overhead at any given location a decade or so in advance. This is why I left computer science research. I realized I was working on things that only made sense inside the machine.

          Such an absolute perspective on the utility of computer science isn’t very pragmatic. Computers have the power to interact with the real world, and play a major part in billions of lives every day.
