I. Introduction

A recurring meeting is a series of meetings—each with their own agenda, Minutes, and invite list—which recur on a regular timeline.

The following recurrence timelines are supported:

  • Weekly on the same weekday (Sunday - Saturday) as the first meeting in the series

  • Bi-weekly, every other week on the same weekday (Sunday-Saturday) as the first meeting in the series

  • Monthly on the same day of the month (1-31) as the first meeting in the series

    • For series which recur on the 29th-31st, the meeting happens on the last day of those months which do not contain these dates

  • Monthly on the same week (first - last) and weekday (Sunday - Saturday) as the first meeting in the series

  • Bi-monthly, every other month, on the same week (first-last) and weekday (Sunday-Saturday) as the first meeting in the series

  • Quarterly (once every three months) on the same week (first - last) and weekday (Sunday - Saturday) as the first meeting in the series

  • Semi-anually (twice every year) on the same week of the month (first - last) and weekday (Sunday - Saturday) as the first meeting in the series

  • Annually (once every year) on the same date as the first meeting in the series
