[802SEC] Time of EC meetings



Colleagues,

 

Based on the discussion at the EC meeting this week, my proposal is to confirm a fixed sweet spot that is workable for all voting and non-voting EC members.  It is currently 1-3 pm ET.

 

My assessment is that the EC members are spread across six time zones.  In standard time (not adjusting for daylight/summer) they are:

UTC, UTC -5, UTC -6, UTC -7, UTC -8, UTC +10

 

Adjusting for daylight/summer (but not the gap weeks) that would be either southern summer:

UTC, UTC -5, UTC -6, UTC -7, UTC -8, UTC +11

E.g, Jan 5

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20210105&p2=179&p3=64&p4=75&p5=224&p6=240&p7=136

 

Or northern summer:

UTC+1, UTC -4, UTC -5, UTC -6, UTC -7, UTC +10

E.g., July 6

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20210706&p2=179&p3=64&p4=75&p5=224&p6=240&p7=136

 

So the sweet spot (which is green or yellow in the table at the above links for each time zone) would be 3-5 pm ET in southern summer and 4-6 pm ET in northern summer.  Alternating times would presumably put the meeting during sleeping time (red in the table) for one or more members for each meeting. 

 

If we would like, we could weight this by the number of members per time zone or voting vs non-voting members.  In both cases that would likely move the sweet spot closer to noon ET (e.g., our current slot), which again would put the meeting during sleeping time for some.

 

Comments?

 

Cheers,

Glenn.
