Personally I'm OK with the time. But as I proposed, it's better to have 
seperate meetings for areas. Not only because everyone can attend but 
almost everyone know what's happening in their area, different cultures etc.

It's good if every country (that have more than 2-3 ambassadors) will 
have meeting for programming next events etc in their country. This way, 
people who don't speak-understand english (I'm one of them), can speak 
their language.
