Yes, I didn't exactly make it obvious but UTC -10 was Hawaii. 

 

Roberta, Jane, how does Ken's suggestion sound for you? 

 

2. A meeting for Americas/Hawaii
3 PM in New York, noon in L.A., 9 AM in Honolulu (I believe that this is 7 PM UCT)

Dear Fabio,

I am in Hawaii and meetings that occur at 4 am, 5 am, etc. are not sustainable for me.  Although I had hoped to participate in this endeavor, I did not know that all of the meetings would be held in the wee hours of the morning.  As I said, it is not a sustainable model for me to be able to participate.  Had I known this would be the situation, I would not have joined this group.  As a result, I have asked OASIS to refund my membership money on a prorated basis.

Best,

Roberta Woods

Our current meeting time, at 16:00 (Europe), 10:00 (NA East), 7:00 (NA West), 23:00 (Japan) seems working for all of us. Of course this assumes that Frank Bennett in Japan is fine meeting at 11PM...

I understood there were some people in Hawaii, who would have to join us at 4:00 AM, which would be hardly practical, but you don't seem to have listed anyone from there.

Therefore, assuming that Frank still agrees to meet at 11PM, I don't believe there is a reason sufficient to split teleconferences in two groups.

Just my personal opinion, though.

Ciao

Fabio
