If your boss's dropping by doesn't get it done, then try to say that this is an emergency meeting (which by this point it is becoming) and state that representatives from all departments named is mandatory.  Perhaps the threat of the whole scheduling fiasco to date being brought to the CEO's attention might get you a bit more respect and response for the next meeting.  Nothing says you have to actually go, as I understand your motives for not wanting to involve him, but you also want to cover your own arses, so that when the CEO comes down and demands explanations for why this wasn't completed, y'all - as the new kids on the block, so to speak - don't get handed all the blame.  Sometimes threats actually work and get desired results.

Good luck!  And here's hoping that bossie's casual drop-by gets the needed results without you having to go through the headache once more of trying to set up this meeting and going to these lengths.
