Meeting schedules

["Durand, Jacques R." <JDurand@us.fujitsu.com>]

COnsidering the option where :

- we use alternate  1h meeting schedules:

week 1: schedule A

week 2: schedule B

week 3: schedule A

etc.

- and we accept the fact that not everyone will be able to make it at every meeting, but that everyone will like at least one schedule (A or B).

 

We could consider:

 

- schedule A is for accommodating everyone except Asia (could remain 2pmGMT as current Thu,

or be 4pm or 5pm GMT.)

- schedule B is good for Asia (office hours) and for accommodating everyone except UK and East coast (5amGMT) or everyone except UK and Russia (3amGMT)

 

Would that be acceptable, knowing that all major decisions would be taken by electronic ballot?

(conference calls would be used mostly to (a) make progress toward consensus on some tech topic, (b) bring up new issues and initiate some discussion, (c) discuss logistics and administrative aspects.)
