With some added $dayjob obligations taking over my morning calendar time, I find myself unable to make the WG meeting time on Mondays at 0900 US-Eastern. I'm considering whether in good conscience I should step back from the WG, and allow someone with more availability to take my place.
In the meantime, I wanted to give a heads up that I can't make the January 14 or following slots. I'm not asking the whole WG to shift on my account. I recall how few timeslots were workable for the majority. If there's someone on the list who is eager to throw a hat in, please respond here.
Hmm.... it's not really problematic to do a Doodle poll every year or two to find a meeting time that works well for everyone. I don't think you need to step down because of a conflict with a particular timeslot! (FWIW, moving the meeting time would be convenient for me. For the past year or so, I've had another meeting that starts at 9:30 Eastern, and it's not easy for me to keep up with the WG meeting during this time.)
But if *all* of your morning hours are unavailable every day of the week, then I doubt it would be possible to find a time that will work for US, Europe, and Asia. Really the only way to make these work for everyone is early morning US, late night Asia.
