   1.

      Meeting Structure: Meetings will be held twice a month on the 1st and
      3rd Wednesdays, but the group needs to decide on how best to choose times
      for the meetings. The follow options were suggested:
      1.

         Option 1: Decide on one meeting time that is convenient for most
         members and stick with that consistent time for all meetings.
One downside
         to this option is that some members will always be
inconvenienced by having
         to meet at night.
         2.

         Option 2: Stick to the schedule of two meetings per month, but
         hold the meeting on the 1st Wednesday of the month at a time that is
         convenient for people in Europe and hold the meeting on the
2nd Wednesday
         of the month at a time that is convenient for people in Asia. The same
         agenda items will be discussed at both meetings. One downside to this
         option is that progress will be slowed because the same
agenda has to be
         covered twice in a month. Also, voting might be more complicated
         3.

         Option 3: Set up chairs in two parts of the world - one set that
         represents Europe/US and one group that represents Asia/US.
The chairs will
         coordinate with each other to make sure they are covering the
same agenda
         items, but they will hold meetings that are convenient for
people in their
         respective time zones. Notes will be taken in English for all
meetings. One
         downside to this option is that you would never have a
meeting where people
         from Europe and Asia are in a meeting together and you would
have to rely
         heavily on thorough notes. Also, voting might be more complicated.
         4.

         Option 4: Switch the meeting time twice a year. For 6 months, the
         time will be convenient for people in Europe and for 6
months, it will be
         convenient for people in Asia. The downside for this is that
the time would
         not be consistent, so multiple notices would need to be made
to help people
         understand when the time change would happen.
         2.
