Dear Emily There has been very very few 03 UTC time slot in the past in which the number of participants were reduced. Time zones were 0500, 13,00 16,00 and 19,00 and sometimes 20,00 AND NOT 03,00 UTC Regards Kavouss 2016-12-22 14:26 GMT+01:00 Emily Barabas <emily.barabas@icann.org>:
Dear Annebeth and Kavouss,
Thank you both for your feedback. The leadership team added the 3:00 UTC time slot to the rotation in order to “share the pain” and support participation by members in the Asia Pacific time zones. I know that the 3:00 UTC time slot has regularly been a source of discussion on working group calls, and I expect it will continue to be a topic of discussion going forward. If the WG decides that a different schedule is better, staff is happy to make adjustments to the calendar.
The challenge is that there are very few meeting times that work in all time zones, and we are attempting to avoid conflicts with other initiatives, such as WS2, that regularly meet during these times.
The Co-Chairs understand that not every working group member will be able to attend every call, therefore they revisit issues on multiple calls to ensure all voices are heard. Recordings and transcripts are available, and discussion on the mailing list is encouraged.
I will flag your concerns with the leadership team and look forward to continued discussion on the topic.
Kind regards,
Emily

Hi,
I agree with Kavouss. In other working groups I am a member of, we strive to have the conferences so that nobody has to stay up between midnight and 6 am. Isn´t that possible here, Emily?
Kind regards,
Annebeth

For people living in Europe 03 UTC is a very uncomfortable window preventing people to remain awake till that time or get up at 02UTC to be prepare for o3 UTC.
it is UNUSSAL to select such a highly uncomfortable time to favourable time for people from NORTH AMERICA.

Dear WG members,
The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG currently rotates between three meeting time slots: Monday at 3:00 UTC, Monday at 15:00 UTC, and Monday at 20:00 UTC.
As Avri mentioned on our WG call today, some members have suggested replacing the Monday at 3:00 UTC slot (which falls on Sunday for some time zones) with a Tuesday at 3:00 UTC slot to improve attendance.
Please take a moment to let us know what you think of this proposal: *http://doodle.com/poll/hqepcphdsz8ifinc[doodle.com]* <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__doodle.com_poll_hqepcphd...>. Kindly respond by *17:00 UTC on Friday 23 December*.
Thanks for your input!
Kind regards,
Emily
