Dear Colleague: With the W3C Technical Plenary event in Vancouver behind us, we're excited to canvas our intrepid community group for a Zoom teleconference time. We'd like to propose meeting weekly, at least for a few months to give each of us a full opportunity to get our concerns expressed and on the record. Our teleconferences will be held on Zoom and will be minuted using IRC as is customary in W3C activities. Below there are 9 suggested weekdays and hours where we could hold regular weekly Zoom calls for our A11yEdge Community Group. All times are specified for Boston, as is also customary for W3C scheduling. A link to aid in converting that time to your local timezone is also included. The provided links begin on Monday 7 November, because this will be the day when North America and Europe (where most of us live and work) will be back in sync following our autumnal asyncronous returns to standard time. For each suggested time please simply annote as one of the following three options: * Can and prefer * Can * Cannot As we welcome sharing this invitation widely, we're also providing an option for our friends on the Pacific rim to request a more conducive meeting time. If that's you, please indicate your hours of UTC offset. If there are indeed several individuals from Pacific rim time zones, we will indeed try to work out a second hour for at least a couple of weeks in each month. Please respond by replying to this email, and we'll collate your responses and announce what the group has collectively chosen during the week of Monday 31 October; and we'll begin meeting the week following. 1.) Mondays at 12:00 PM; e.g. http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=A11yEdge+Teleconference&iso=20221107T12&p1=43&ah=1 2.)
