Rafik, Maureen, Thank you for this feedback. The challenges of accommodating several time zones are real and I know APAC residents are often the victims of odd hours webinars and conference calls. The only mitigation we have found, while trying to maximize participation to these calls, is to publish the recordings of the calls, so that anyone not able to attend can receive the same information as those who participated. If you have questions or comments while listening to the recording, please send them by email and we will be very happy to address them.
Thank you.
Best,
Xavier

Hi Rafik..
17:00utc is 7am where I am in the Pacific, however, I agree that as the times go westwards; 1am in Singapore and 10.30pm in Mumbai.
Never very user-friendly. But this is the fate of APAC - nearly a 12 hour span to have to consider for anything we organise across APRALO.

thanks for sharing the details about a 2nd webinar. I note that it is like the previous webinar scheduled at 17:00UTC and such time is not friendly for those in APAC.
Best Regards,
