Feature Request: Optionally allow invites to a meeting to invite others

How often do you get a invite to a meeting and need to have a coworker added to the invite list?

Today you have to ask the originator of the meeting to do this but what if there were an option to allow the invitee to add others.

Please consider this.

Subject: Any solution?

Hi, just want to know if IBM offer a solution for this very common situation.

Subject: Answer: Almost never :slight_smile:

…this came up on IdeaJam recently: http://www.ideajam.net/IdeaJam/P/ij.nsf/0/04353225A5A49D46862574E200573171?OpenDocument - some interesting, if fairly polarised discussion.

IMHO this really comes down to the meeting culture in a particular organisation - what you are suggesting most probably wouldn’t work well in my company, so if this does make it into a future release, please consider having it controllable by policy and switched off by default :slight_smile:

Thanks

Subject: Optional

Ideally if they do this it should be at the option of the chair with the ability for the chair to set their own default.

Subject: My answer: at least a few times every month!

For me, this would be an EXTREMELY valuable feature. I could easily use it at least twice a month. In contrast, in 15 years of using Notes, I have NEVER use the ‘delegate attendance’ feature.

I also agree with the prior poster that it is very organization dependent.

Please provide the functionality, but make it a checkbox so the meeting chair can decide.

Subject: We are considering it…

Thank you for your feedback. We have received this request before and are looking at it along with others in the Calendar Workflow space.

Subject: Good idea, but…

… there are cases where you only want a certain attendance and people are not invited on purpose. I think the default needs to be user-settable, to allow invitees to invite others or not, and each individual invite needs to be able to override the default. If there is not already a setting to prevent delegation, maybe i could be a dual purpose thing, to allow/prevent delegation and extra invitations.

Subject: Yes, I always expect to find this

I end up just forwarding the message to the other person. Then they get no easy way to add it to their calendar.
