Meeting timings, regular and this week

Dear all,

Renato, Ben and I have been looking at the results of the Doodle poll 
[1] trying to find a regular time slow for the WG's weekly meetings.

Of course there is *no* time when everyone is available, still less, 
readily available, therefore any choice is a compromise that will upset 
someone. To cut a long story short, the day and time chosen is:

MONDAY 08:00 New York, 13:00 London, 14:00 Paris, 21:00 Brisbane

Both Caroline and Sabrina have indicated that this is not a good time. 
Will it always be bad? How definite is your 'no?'

Selecting Monday poses another problem in that that's when lots of 
holidays fall. There are 3 UK bank holiday Mondays between now and the 
end of May, for example. The first of them is this coming (Easter) Monday.

So... for *this* week, we'll have the call at the same time as last week 
on THURSDAY.

So that's:

Thursday 24th at noon UTC
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20160324T12&p1=0&p2=47&p3=43&p4=195&p5=236 
or, if you prefer:

08:00 EDST (New York)
12:00 GMT (London)
13:00 CET (Vienna/Madrid)
22:00 AEST (Brisbane)

Skip the following week

Start regular Monday calls on Monday 4th April, also at noon UTC
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20160404T12&p1=0&p2=47&p3=43&p4=195&p5=236


08:00 EDST (New York)
13:00 BST (London)
14:00 CEST (Vienna/Madrid)
22:00 AEST (Brisbane)

Notice that European times are one hour later since Europe changes to 
DST this weekend - in fact, it's at the same time UTC.

Ben will be posting the agenda for this Thursday's meeting in the coming 
day or so.

Phil.
