System and Method for Passive Event Scheduling Using a Moderating Engine

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code moderating the automated scheduling of meetings and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• enabling originating a meeting, the meeting being assigned a prioritization value by a meeting moderator, the prioritization value comprising a hierarchical ranking parameter contextually referenced to a hierarchical directory system;
• enabling selecting of a plurality of meeting participants, each of the plurality of meeting participants having corresponding meeting participant information, the meeting participant information comprising:
• a hierarchical ranking parameter contextually referenced to the hierarchical directory system;
• a meeting role;
• and
• meeting participant availability information stored on an electronic calendar;
• enabling scheduling of the meeting using the meeting participant availability information to determine concurrent availability of the meeting participants, the scheduling being bounded the meeting participant information.
