Or Tuesday?
I do appreciate the general consideration, but this could quickly devolve into an "everyone is inconvenient" situation. I live in east Asia, where 1800 UTC translates to 0200/0300 +1d local time. Can I ask the time be changed to 1200 UTC so I can sleep earlier? Let's be realistic and acknowledge everyone "has a life". If some of us could make the sacrifice, so that a single time point is possible, great! And thanks to them. If some of us are willing to make the sacrifice some of the times, also great! The schedule could rotate. If we really want to have everyone in, we could try some alternative ways. Like a two-session meeting, in which one session is held in an earlier hemisphere, and another later. If someone feel like it, they could be the host and bridge between the sessions. Maybe a third session is needed to address uncertainties, maybe an off meeting ack/discussion is enough. Maybe there are even better ways. Discussion on this very list is also an option. The point is, let's solve problems, rather than fall for some of the humanity's oldest pitfalls. -- ,Sdrager Blair Noctis
