Hi Joy, I hear you about the timezone issue but I would explain the reasons for such choice: - finding a time window convenient to UTC-5, UTC+1 and UTC+8 can be challenging . such criteria is in order to allow most councillors to attend the call (for myself I am residing in UTC+9) - such time can accommodate folks in europe, africa, most of AP and those in the west side of americas. - another constraint is to avoid clash with GNSO working , for this call we have already a working group which will start at 15:00UTC , http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/calendar we can try to rotate however it may mean just few timelsot available, Maryam will circulate some time slot for polling. I will welcome to hear any other consideration to have in mind for time selection.
