Re: Proposed change to Silver Tuesday calls

Hey Shawn,
I very much support having joint meetings with AG. But by cancelling the
Tuesday meeting over the Friday meeting, both WCAG 3 meetings end up
outside of EU work hours. I feel that WCAG 3 has a fairly strong US bias as
it is. I think this decision is a turn in the wrong direction. I would ask
the chairs to consider options that would allow for more international
participation.
