Re: Proposed change to Silver Tuesday calls

I would be in favor of moving the Friday Silver call earlier in the 
day.  I worry about shutting out the US West Coast, but they have the 
Tuesday AG call at a more reasonable time for them (8:00am).  So they 
would get one call that is at a reasonable time and the Friday call at a 
stretch time (6:30 am).

I made a survey for the schedule of Friday meeting 
<https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/94845/friday-meeting-schedule-2021-6/>.  
It has 9, 9:30 (as Wilco proposed) and the other hours of the day 
including the existing call time, 2:00 PM ET.
