The third option places the call at 1am in my time zone. This would be challenging. Having a call really early in the mourning or later at night is fine for me but a call that stretches between 1am to 3am unless held on the weekend would make sure I get fired. :) Sincerely, Zahid Jamil Barrister-at-law Jamil & Jamil Barristers-at-law 219-221 Central Hotel Annexe Merewether Road, Karachi.

Hopefully we will be able to address this issue going forward but for now the redundancy will not work in all cases. Chuck

Quick question; is there an expectation that every Councillor will attend every meeting?
I believe we have redundancy without our representatives for a reason.
So between a solid and efficient rotation schedule and input across all Councillors, there should be reasonable and fair coverage for all. Perhaps the only exception would be the chair - but as Chuck quit rightly points out, that is why he has his lieutenants.
At least that is how I reconcile this.

I encourage discussion of this on the Council list between now and our meeting on 23 Nov. It will be on our agenda for that meeting.
In the meantime, we need to schedule a time for our 23 Nov. meeting. Are there any major objections to going with option 1 for that meeting? If so, please communicate them NLT end of day tomorrow, Wednesday, 4 Nov. If not, I will ask Gisella to go ahead and schedule the call.
Thanks a lot to Stephane, Adrian, Edmon and Han Chuan for doing the work on this. If I am not mistaken, it likes only three people have more than one time that falls in the 11 pm to 6 am timeframe (Edmon, Han Chuan & Rafik). It will be interesting to discover how I function in the middle of the night every three meetings but I will deal with it; I always have vice chairs to rely on.

Try it now, this should open no prob. Previous file was in new XLSX format that not everyone can use. This one in standard XLS format.
