that's exactly what the "calendar-wide timezone" that's already
supported in cosmo is meant for. if chandler sets this when it
publishes or updates the calendar, then the cosmo ui can *always* show
events relative to that timezone. the ui can also give CC the option
of showing the events relative to a CC-selected timezone, if you want
that. no need to put any extra information in the sharer's account.
