<div>Thanks for your email. I can't say I'm a big fan of 6 am conference calls (10:00 UTC in New York), but this is probably worse for our West Coast participants, for whom the calls will be at 3 am and 6 am. (I note that 3 of the GNSO/CSG "participants"
are on the West Coast.) I do appreciate that North Americans appear to be in a minority among the members (for a change), so I guess it is our turn to bear more of the inconvenient call times. Slightly later call times would be preferable for me (I can't
speak for the West Coast, but I assume having one call during (my idea of) normal waking hours would be probably be an improvement for them.)</div>
