Scheduling calls with Rome

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Rome local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

Paris 09:00–17:00 in Rome 8 hours overlap
London 10:00–17:00 in Rome 7 hours overlap
Dubai 09:00–15:00 in Rome 6 hours overlap
Mumbai 09:00–13:30 in Rome 4.5 hours overlap

No shared working window exists with Los Angeles or Sydney, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
