Both use summer time but change on different weekends, which is why the gap moves for a few weeks in spring and autumn. A recurring meeting set in one city's calendar arrives an hour early or late in the other for those weeks.
Making it work
The shared window is the morning in New York and three 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.
