Re: [Mtgvenue] Update of RFC8719

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

I see Benson's point is that, going forward into an era where there are more
and more remote attendees, and perhaps some more intentionally all-online
meetings (vs pandemic forced meetings), that rather than document our
1-1-1 as Asia-Europe-NA, that we could do that via time zones instead.

What we would be doing is saying that we need to distribute the pain of who
stays up all night to remote attend, rather than distribute the pain of
travel for those who are in-person.

(It also means, I guess, that we can meet in Philadelphia in lieu of Bangkok,
as long as the in-person meeting occurs in Bangkok time zone.  Not that I
think we would do this, but we could)

UTC-12 for Americas means Hawaii is still in Americas, although we once
counted it as Asia :-)

What Benson's proposal also means is that if we were to return to South
America, or we were to try Johannessburg, that we'd be within rule to do it
during the appropriate time zone.

Brian and John's point: we will likely continue to meet where there are
people who are doing the work.  So in the end, changing the criteria likely
has no actual effect for a long time.  I don't object to the patch, but I
don't see it as helping much.
