RE: ARIA-AT: Survey to set kick-off meeting time

Shadi,

Thank you, and we do appreciate the challenge of getting people in Europe and on the US west coast together. We decided to add an option in the survey so we could learn how many people can't make any of the times work for them.

That said, it is important to make sure everyone understands that we are not seeking to establish a time for repeating meetings. The survey is to rank options both Michael and I had available for a one-time project kick-off meeting. It is a bit early to know whether any of this community's workstreams, once they are defined, will require regular meetings.

Best,
Matt King

Hi Michael,

Note that these times are quite late for fellow Europeans (8pm, 10pm, and 5pm respectively). I could participate occasionally at such times but probably not on a regular basis.

Best,
