[gnso-rpm-wg] YOUR FEEDBACK REQUESTED: rotating Working Group meeting times

[Justine Chew]

Coming from the perspective that the WG's 3 other non-rotational calls
typically falls at 2.00am for me (and I believe for Mary too), anything
that is at a more decent hour in respect of the 4th rotational call is
welcomed, that being between 2300 UTC and 1400 UTC for me.
