>> 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.

Since we expect joint calls for at least the foreseeable future (I think at least through June and July), we proposed canceling our 9:30am Eastern Tuesday call for the duration, with the option of holding it if something comes up that seems like a good topic to work through during that time. As an example, we know that Fridays at 2:00pm Eastern don't work very well for folks in Europe, and even less well for those further east.
