When the gap changes

Today Sydney is 5½ hours ahead of India.

April 4, 2027Sydney moves its clocks back and the gap becomes 4½ hours.
October 3, 2027Sydney moves its clocks forward and the gap becomes 5½ hours.

Only Sydney changes its clocks for summer; India keeps the same time all year. A meeting fixed in India moves by an hour in Sydney's calendar twice a year.

Making it work

The shared window is the morning in India and two and a half hours long, so it is worth protecting. Put recurring calls inside it and move anything that only one side needs outside it.

Offer two or three times within the window rather than one. Someone always has a clash, and a poll with three options settles in a day where a single proposal starts a thread.
