By the way, it's absolutely OK for any non-members to respond as well. The whenisgood.net event can compare available times by excluding specific responses, so we can tell what difference certain times make in attendance.

So far, only five members have answered the poll, including myself, and two additional people. Right now looks like the leading time is Wednesday 13:00 US/Eastern (17:00 UTC).

Note that I'll always be about 5 minutes late to that time, but knew better than to mark it off since that's a minor annoyance and meetings are hard to schedule.
On that note. 17:00 UTC is 2:00 AM in Tokyo (Jens?), 4:00 AM in Sydney. To include all the WG members, we might need to accept less desirable USA times. [1] is a tool I like to use for guessing at which sorts of times might work well and it looks pretty hopeless if I'm correct in thinking we have WG members on each of these continents.

Good news, Jens and one other WG member answered. The front running times are now:
Monday 1300 UTC / 09:00am EDT Friday 1300 UTC / 09:00am EDT Friday 1400 UTC / 10:00am EDT
Everyone appears to be available then. If there's not any other preference I would prefer Monday -- Fridays are generally bad days for meetings, and they would be Friday night Jens' time. (Jens, I know realistically you said you're available then, but meeting on Friday night just seems like a bad idea.)
(1) Any critical objections to doing Monday 9:00am?
(2) Can we shift to that time for a Monday April 13 meeting?

Works for me, though this is four weeks between meetings if I count correctly; maybe we want the next one to be sooner? I guess if there's not much on the agenda it doesn't matter.

I was thinking that would be the meeting ~two weeks from now. So there is a meeting scheduled tomorrow per previous schedule, and the following meeting would be Monday April 13 on the new schedule.

Ahhhh I was not expecting that. Works for me. I will need to leave a bit early though.

To make things a little more interesting... It turns out I'm not available Monday April 13 in this time slot, although normally it shouldn't be a problem. Can someone else volunteer to chair the meeting?

Neat, I didn't know that existed. A couple things of note:
(1) It doesn't seem to support a time matrix, but rather polls of specific times. I can enter a lot of multiple times for those days but it's a lot more work than on the whenisgood site. Do you know if there's an option that includes all standard daytimes within a specific day?
(2) Some translations look to be incomplete on that site. I wasn't sure with one of the entry forms what it was looking for without using machine translation (it was to accept email from the company about services).
I'm interested in additional good tools, so if anyone knows other alternatives, let me know.

I've used http://doodle.com/ in the past, you might like it... I don't remember if you have to enter each time, though, and it's not a nice swipe matrix, but it has the "if need be" option which I think helps a lot.
