It's entirely possible this was an oversight. I know I make lots of errors when it comes to timezones.

We are, after all, volunteers and do NOT get paid unlike the ICANN staff.

I'd like to repeat a request I made earlier, that we schedule our calls at reasonable times for all. I believe that is possible given our geographic dispersion. If I've done my timezone math correctly, we have a timezone span of some 13-14 hours, using our "home" countries for this calculation. I'd like to suggest that no call commence before 06:00 for any of us and similarly end before 23:00 for all of us. If we adopt this as a "policy", I believe we have a 3-4 hour window in which to have calls. The "range" of calls would be early morning on the US West Coast, early afternoon in London, and evening in Pakistan. Why do I bring this up? The current doodle poll is asking that US West Coast members select between 02:00, 03:00, 04:00, 05:00, and 06:00 (local time) as the starting time for our next teleconference. While the 03:00 - 0:500 (US Pacific) times may be more convenient for some, they are especially uncomfortable to others. Can we agree to the nothing earlier than 06:00 or later than 23:00 for all of us? If not, why not?
