Re: Ouch! RE: [council] Reminder: Proposed dates for GNSO Council meetings January-June 2012

Hi Zahid,

I understand and sympathise. The problem is that we worked out these time zones 
as the best "half-way house" solution so that everyone would have at least 1 of 
the 3 rotations at a "reasonable" hour for them locally.

For example, with this 20 UTC time slot. Say we move it back 4 hours to make it 
easier for your time zone. That's fine. It's also OK for (as an example) 
Washington DC time (by my count, that would be 11am local time). But it makes 
it 5 am in Auckland, NZ, which is probably less than ideal for Joy.

So the problems remain how to get time zones that avoid those issues…
