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)/chet

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

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
