I’m pretty sure that as an ombudsperson I should step in only when there is a conflict ;)

But I’ll say that we have had good experience sending meeting announcements with a link to the time&date web site, showing the desired time as local plus a gazillion other time zones. Here’s what it would have looked like for Boston 6pm:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SLOBs+Meeting&iso=20151005T18&p1=43 <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SLOBs+Meeting&iso=20151005T18&p1=43>

At the bottom it even lists the time in UTC for James ;)
