[Rt4-whois] next Conference Call - Doodle poll

[Emily Taylor]

Bill -

Thanks for bringing this point up.  Given that we're all volunteers, it would indeed seem cruel for us also to have to join calls in the middle of the night!  

Perhaps we could all fill in this doodle poll on the assumption that you make (ie nothing earlier than 6 am or later than 11pm local time), and if possible ask the staff to keep these timings in mind when scheduling future meetings.

Kind regards

Emily

If we adopt this as a “policy”, I believe we have a 3-4 hour window in which to have calls. The “range” of calls would be early morning on the US West Coast, early afternoon in London, and evening in Pakistan.

The current doodle poll is asking that US West Coast members select between 02:00, 03:00, 04:00, 05:00, and 06:00 (local time) as the starting time for our next teleconference. While the 03:00 – 0:500 (US Pacific) times may be more convenient for some, they are especially uncomfortable to others.
