What is the default setting for timezones?

Yes, but this would only be if the user is not logged on to Cosmo. As an 'anonymous' Cosmo user, you would see whatever the time-zone the Chandler user (the shar-ER) would see.

+ Does the user get assigned a default timezone based on their IP address?
So first, the Cosmo user would have an account and is logged in. This happens when the Cosmo user first selects and turns on time-zone support. The first item in the drop down is based on whatever their computer is set to, not based on the IP address. I have been informed that Cosmo the web client can get the time-zone from the browser through _javascript_–Matthew correct me if I'm wrong here.

+ Do we do like Chandler and start out with no timezone support and allow the user set their own timezone.
Yes. If the Cosmo user *does not* turn on time-zone support, then the events will fall in the 'floating' time-zone as in Chandler. 

+ If the user is logged into Cosmo and has turned time-zone support on, then the Cosmo user has the ability to select which time-zone they wish to be in. 
+ If they subscribe to a collection from the Chandler user– the collection displayed in the Cosmo UI will be based on the time-zone the Cosmo user has selected (not on the Chandler user's time-zone). 
+ If the user selects the individual event items in the subscription, it will display time-zone from the Chandler user in the event details–this is different from the calendar time-zones in settings.
