Hi Cathy, Thanks for this. Yes, as I recall from when I lived there Australian time zone coordination is problematic. It might help if folks can see a direct comparison, so I set up a time zone table based on the next meeting date May 15 (New York time) here: https://bit.ly/2VHXWl4 A direct link to time zone comparisons between New York, Berlin, Brisbane, Rio de Janeiro and Dublin at timeanddate.com I can be available for short periods any time of the day except between 10:00 (pm) and 06:00 (am) I recall seeing a proposed solution on another LO project list to have weekly meetings at different times on alternate weeks. Not sure this would be a good compromise, but it is an option we could try if folks wanted to.
