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

[George Kirikos]

Many of the folks who've already voted in the Doodle poll don't appear
to be in Singapore, India, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Australia or other
areas in the APAC region:

https://doodle.com/poll/zwpqnnz45yw74x3m

Is the poll intended to be open to everyone?

Ultimately, attendance at calls is meaningful only to those who
actually intend to actively participate (i.e. speak, type in the
chatroom, ask questions or otherwise communicate in some other manner
during the call itself). If one doesn't actively participate,
listening to the recording or reading the transcript later is
essentially the same as being an observer of the live call (and might
actually be more time efficient, as one can use software to playback
MP3 audio at double speed, or read even faster).

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
