I am hopeful that the group will be able to come up with creative ways to address the inclusiveness challenges inherent in having a geographically diverse membership.

The times nominated translate to: Midnight, 2am, 1am or 4am. I understand the challenges associated with finding times that suit many, but the absence of a single slot that might have been workable for people in the Asia Pacific is disappointing. I assume that moving forward we will discuss rotating times for calls to ensure inclusion. Apologies to those who have heard me bang this drum before.
