A couple issues have come up with our current meeting time of 9:00am US-Eastern, 1300 UTC on Monday:
(1) In several (two of the last three, most recently) fortnightly WG meetings, we've had trouble reaching quorum.
(2) I have a to facilitate a meeting directly after this one which requires my attention about 5-10 minutes before the hour, meaning it's difficult to stay in our meeting at the precise point where we need to wrap up.
I suspect this time is also not conducive for a couple other US-Eastern folks who (unlike me) are traveling to an office around this time on Monday mornings, but I don't want to speak for anyone else.
When we did our meeting time check in April, the matrix showed the next best time was Wednesday 10am US-EDT, 1400 UTC. The only person with a conflict, as luck would have it, was Yrs Truly. :-) My conflict is now gone, so I would move to use this meeting time for our next occurrence, and beyond.
That would be Wednesday, August 5, 10am US-EDT, 1400 UTC.
For/against?

This time is better for me now that I no longer have a conflict with it, but it's midnight Tokyo, 1 AM Sydney. Scheduling international meetings is hard. :(
Still, we've had weeks of low attendance, so it's clear the current time of the meetings is not working either.
The Wednesday time does work for me.
As someone who has missed a couple of the 9am Monday morning meetings, I'll comment that it isn't inherently hard for me to make, it is just easy for me to forget, since it's slightly before the normal start of my work-week. If we continue to have meetings at that time, I'll put it with a reminder on my personal calendar, and I should be better about being there in the future :-)

This Wed 1400 UTC timeslot is the one we'll use for future meetings, at least until DST change forces our hand again. Note that e.g. Jens responded to the earlier survey and this time was not a conflict for him (Osaka time).
