Re: Meeting times (was: RDF Data Shapes WG minutes for 1 September 2016)

Indeed, I've moved to Brussels. I think you bring a good point and it is 
at least fair to give it some consideration.

The obvious loser in the change you propose is Karen for which a call at 
5am isn't much better than the current time is for you, albeit a bit.
Would you do an hour later? I imagine 11pm although certainly not great 
might still be better for you than 4am, which is about as bad as it can 
get, and 6am might be more acceptable to Karen.

In any case I agree to spend some time discuss this on the call.

Do I understand it correctly that you moved to Brussels, Arnaud?

Regardless, it seems that the center of gravity of the WG has moved to 
Europe this year. Since Arthur and then Peter left, from the regular 
participants of the meeting, the following are located in Europe:

    Dimitris, Eric, Pano, Simon, + Mark, Iovka, Jose, Andy

The current meeting time slot runs from 8 pm to 9:30 pm for them. Needless 
to say, the time slot is also really, really bad for me (4 am). If Arnaud 
is in Europe, only Karen and Ted seem to be left in the US, correct?

According to 
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20160908&p1=47&p2=37&p3=179&p4=224 
an alternative time slot would be

Cairns: 22:00, Berlin: 14:00, New York: 8:00, Berkeley: 5:00.

Wouldn't that be a much better time slot for the majority of people? Could 
we put this on the agenda please?

Thanks,
Holger

I apologize for the delay, I'm still struggling with limited internet 
access as I settle in Brussels. I hope to be able to call in tonight but 
may not be able to chair so Eric will do so.
I cleaned up the minutes for last week:
