Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
I'd not be thrilled, as you can imagine, but I'd go along with it,
if everybody else does. I would like to hear the opinion of our
Japanese members, since I personally wouldn't consider shifting from
midnight to 6am to be a big improvement.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi, everyone,
I am proposing that we change the time of our telecon to 2100 UT.
This change would start with our November telecon and continue at least
through March 2006.
If you have big difficulties with this new time, please let me know as
soon as possible. Please explain what your difficulty is, so I can judge
among (possibly competing) constraints and let me know if a small shift
(by 30 minutes or 1 hour) would solve your difficulty.
The main reason to change the time is that I will be chairing the meetings
and it is hard for me to be an awake and active chair at 5 am Hawaii time.
In addition, our Japanese colleagues have been dealing with very late
telecon times (11:30 pm or midnight) for many years, and this will give
them a little break from that.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. By my calculations, here is 2100 UT in various local times (all for
non daylight savings). But please check yourself for your own time zone.
10 pm Europe
9 pm UK
4 pm U.S. east coast
1 pm U.S. west coast
11 am Hawaii
6 am Japan
For comparison, our current telecon time of 1500 UT is
4 pm Europe
3 pm UK
10 am U.S. east coast
7 am U.S. west coast
5 am Hawaii
midnight Japan
