not one single time that will suit all time zones and that some suggested times are fairly difficult for some WG members, especially those situated in the APAC region. As such,
<b>the co-chairs wish to ask Members to indicate, via response to this Doodle poll, whether they approve a change from 1600 UTC (the current time) to 1700 UTC for the non-rotating calls</b>:

marks to gain some advantage, vs. the first-come first serve system) </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

out whether there is an increase in registrations after the Claims Notices end)</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
