That's the best we can hope for. Other solutions, beyond the A/B/C fixed time choices are: D: Alternate meeting times from week to week. Since voting rights require attendance only at alternate meetings, this might be more convenient for participants. But we do risk losing continuity in the discussions if many members actually opted to attend only alternate meetings. E: Repeat every meeting twice, at two different times, with the same agenda. Decisions are made based on the combined attendance of both sessions of the same meeting. I think the UML TC did something like this. But I don't think we need that level of complexity. F: Move more of the work into Subcommittees. If we do that, the SC's can schedule at a time and frequency that suits their work. And then we can have the full "coordination" meetings less frequently. I don't think we should do a switch like this right now, but it might be something to consider post ODF 1.2. Maybe there are other solutions? Looking at all members who have attended in the past 12 meetings, I see the following distribution (West to East): Pacific: 5 Mountain: 1 Eastern/Brazil: 5 UK: 1 Europe : 4 Beijing: 2 -Rob
