The problem is what search engine they use, but their desire to use 
Google Calendar. Access would be through a dedicated Google Mail 
account. So the only issue is Google tracking their IP addresses and 
aggregating that with other things Google has about those IP addresses.

My guess is that many, if not most of them won't care. I'm hoping to 
convince some of them to at least think about it.
