Regarding discussing date, time, and place for meetings, here is a suggestion that works, is simple, (and cuts down on all the emails!).
Trick I use a great deal for work (I work with widely dispersed teams): 1) Open up a new spreadsheet in Google Docs. 2) Set permissions on it to "anyone with who has the link". 3) Send email(include the link) to this mailing list with usual meeting summary, who/what/when/where/why 4) Attendees open link to spreadsheet, fill in slots(ranked 1-best, 2-second best, 3-third best choice) 5) Meeting host can decide on date, time, and place based on the aggregated responses. Google docs allow multiple users updating a spreadsheet at the same time. Only doc owner needs Google account. I have had teams in several cities updating their status in real-time, and begin their next step the instant they see someone mark the previous step complete! Dead-simple to set these up. Marvelous for coordination.
