Hello Seun, 

The African Community witnessed low participation in during the last ICANN meeting unlike the first virtual meeting where we actively engaged. This is due to time differences in favor of those who are hosting the virtual meeting. However, in the real sense of the concept virtual meeting is not physical and it takes a toll on Internet resources only but not time. 

Is there a way we can have a middle point of time across most regions so that we can have an increase in participation across board especially for Africans? 

Bear in mind that Africa is not hosting any virtual meetings in the next three years or more. This means that if we continue to use time zones of the regions hosting the meeting, there will be lower African participants.
