I'm certainly willing to accommodate our colleagues outside the US.

I understand that this is the AsPac friendly call, and I'm supportive of
that - even though the call times mean I'm unlikely to join whether it stays
in the current slot or moves to the two proposed alternatives.  I'd love to
see an option that worked for AsPac, ME and Europe, even if less good for
the US, however. The so-called "sharing the pain" only ever seems to
accommodate AsPac by excluding Europe.

Thanks Mary for this question to the WG.

Is there any possibility of a 4th option to accommodate Europe?

Both the current time and the two proposed alternatives are difficult to
make.

Without taking anything away from our APAC members, do we have any idea how
many WG members the current rotation accommodates vs the overall membership?

meeting times 

Dear Working Group members,

As we restart the meetings cycle following ICANN61, the Working Group
co-chairs would like to seek your feedback concerning an appropriate time
for the 4th rotational Working Group call (i.e. generally the last meeting
of the month). As you know, our practice has been to try to hold this call
at a time that will allow our Asia-Pacific (APAC) based members to attend,
and that time to date has been 0300 UTC on the last Thursday of each month.

Having used this rotation for some time, the Working Group co-chairs wish to
find out if an alternative time that will still allow APAC member
participation may be more suitable. Based on the geographical distribution
of our current membership, staff has suggested that a workable alternative
time might be either 2200 UTC or 2300 UTC on Wednesdays.

We have created a Doodle poll where you may indicate your belief as to which
of these times (including the current arrangement) will work best. In
particular, we invite members based in Singapore, India, Japan, Hong Kong,
China, Australia and other areas in the APAC region to weigh in as the aim
of this poll is to facilitate your continued participation in Working Group
calls: https://doodle.com/poll/zwpqnnz45yw74x3m.

Finally, please note that as some of our Sub Teams will be continuing to
meet for the next two weeks or so, our expectation is that the first
post-ICANN61 APAC time zone-friendly call will not take place before 25
April 2018.

Thanks and cheers

Mary, Julie, Ariel & Berry
