Hi Lorenzo-
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm one of the WOD team members, and we have
struggled with this very issue. The "compromise" seems to be everyone
being annoyed a little. WOD is a joint effort with JOAS (Japan Origami
Academic Society) and we "favored" Japan in our time choice. Sadly, to
present a world wide conference there is no convenient time for
everyone. The solution we presented is the beginning of the work day in
Japan, end of the workday in the US, and sadly middle of the night for
Europe. I appreciate your suggestion, but your solution moves the
middle of the night to Japan and that's a non-starter for the sponsor.
Unlike other events, we do not prerecord sessions, so the recording is
the actual stream. I'm very sorry that recordings are not a good
solution for you and I wish we could solve this issue to everyone's
satisfaction, but not at this time.
Thank your for comments.
Happy Folding
Mary Drews

Dear origamists,
I've been evaluating whether to attend a WOD for years, but I always
need to deal with a very bad scheduling for the EU folders.
This year, for example, all the classes are from 1am and 3am Central
EU Time. Same for the last WOD editions I remember.
It's a quite sad thing, in my opinion, because Europe is rich in
Origami associations and origamists.
I know there is not a perfect solution for the whole planet, of
course, and I also know there will be recordings available, but a
better compromise, like 10 or 11 p.m. GMT seems to me would permit US,
EU and JP to attend live to everyone, it seems to me, because the the
range 1am-7am would have been "placed" across eastern Europe / western
Asia (Russia, basically).
That's a pity, to me.
Regards,
Lorenzo
