Let me second this - different meetings on adjacent dates are good  
*if* they are geographically close and thus eliminate or reduce travel.
And this in independent of which country you are based in - adjacent  
meetings in, say, Europe, reduce travel for North Americans, too.
(I do realize that this complicates the scheduling algorithm though.)
