What this does to recurring meetings

When one participant's region changes clocks and another's does not — or the two change on different dates — every occurrence of a recurring meeting after the shift lands an hour differently than planned. Anchor the series to UTC for the affected weeks, or let the planner flag each drifted occurrence for you.
