Can imported CSV file remove NON-duplicated events?

[Floyd Moseby]

I am trying to coordinate a process schedule involving many dates and many
individuals. Creating and sending individual date specific appointments
would be impractical. Ideally I would like to generate a CSV file with the
necessary dates and reminders for recipients to import into their own
calendars, without me having to serve as a meeting organizer. However, I
need to be able to send out revised CSV files when the schedule changes.
From what I can tell, importing appontments with revised times would NOT
remove the old appointment and original time. I need to do that, and cannot
require recipients to manually remove them. Do I have any options? Is it
possible to create an importable CSV that shows the new time AND eliminates
the old time? Or, is it possible to import an ANTI-appointment that negates
an appointment already on someone's calendar?

I don't believe importing does a very good job of handling duplicate
appointments and there's no way I know to import a file that removes an
appointment.
