Re: [111attendees] timing

In a SDO I’m working for has chosen the 2nd best options to everybody. As there is no best time slot everyone in the world are in working hour, they have chosen a way to spread pain to everybody. The have recommended to have a meeting at 5:00, 13:00, 21:00 UTC for up to two hours which makes no one needs to wake up during core sleeping hours, about 2am to 5am. After several meetings, it has been turned out a reasonable choices. My two cents.

Sincerely,
Young.

Hello

You guys shouldn’t be complaining about the timing for any of the events.  At all.

I live in Africa and mosts of the events takes place just after my working hours and/or at night time when I’m supposed to be sleeping after work.

This is why each IETF is in a different region with different times to share the pain.  For IETF109 I worked 3rd shift.  Up at night had breakfast and went to bed.

But I still have to stay awake.

And more over, I have power outages issues but I’m not complaining.you peeps abroad have 24/7 power supply.

Major storm Saturday evening prior and I was basically without power for ~44hr.  Borrowed my brother-in-law's generator to run important things in the house while waiting for a crew to fix our neighborhood.  So I got a small taste of what you go through regularly.

I have to power up my generator which uses a lot of petrol.

Pls no one should complain about timing or what have you, please.

Thanks.

Best,
Chuks.

NOT using UTC is a big source of errors. (FTFY)

But this is totally unrelated to the issue at hand.
