Hi Peter,

Well among 13 people who voted there are 2 living in China (Dong
Xiaohong and me), 1 in Japan (Kobayashi-san) and Graham is AFAIR from
New Zealand. That' about 30%. Well, Graham doesn't seem to care about
making calls in the middle of the night. Voting for majorities always
poses the risk to exclude minorities. Due to the large number of time
zones from U.S. West Coast to New Zealand a global phone conference will
never work. Maybe it's better to have some regional sub-conferences.
Rosana (thanks again!) yesterday found out that 9 PM German time might
be a time that could fit for everyone. Let's keep that in mind next time
and see if it's possible. On my normal workday, this could get hard
after 10+ hours of work, but if there's enough interest and people can
attend then, we can try it out.
9 PM German time would be even worse for China and Japan (2 AM/3 AM), it
might be better for New Zealanders who wake up early. I would recommend
to play around with the Time And Date meeting planer:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html
To try out an extreme example use Los Angeles, Berlin, Beijing and
Wellington.
I honestly wasn't aware that the chosen times are not good for all
countries, that's why I was asking for feedback. The next time just ping
me and let me know, so we can all benefit.
I frequently attend phone conferences at OASIS, hence I'm already used
to having calls late at night. ;-)
Best regards,
Peter
