Hi, i came in lately and i'm italian and probably i'm not really inside of this. IRC is ok for me. More than time in my case the day would be a major concern. Saturday and Sunday would be perfect but i understand that wouldn't not work for others. I will try to fix my work in some way to partecipate at my best. I wait to listen from the others about this.

 Different regions have different needs. It's possible for you there to call the general important IRC (from the base), and let the people' area (America, Europe....) call local others or you call the others considering  the 4 regions?

Maybe we could designate one ambassador for country/region to attend the general meeting and later he/she should coordinate a meeting according to time and day of his/her country/region. Proposals, ideas and requests should be gathered and presented on next general meeting.

 I know that for you would be heavy, but in my case i would love to listen other situations and recover if i would lose one.

 Probably you will try a better way. Marco

suggested earlier.  Because this program is such an important global effort, I want to ensure everyone has an opportunity to communicate. So...  speak up now...  What time works best for you?

While UTC 15:00 is not such a bad time for me, alternate meetings having alternate timings is according to me, not such a bad idea. The complication resulting from that would however be that nosingle meeting would have a worldwide geographical distribution of attenders. This could be overcome by let's say, a meeting every month or two on a weekend. Sunday, UTC 11:00, where most people who have internet access at home could attend.

A very interesting idea.  A quarterly global meeting, although some of us cannot commit to weekends, but we can certainly bring that up for discussion.   However, a global meeting still doesn't resolve the issue of language barriers.   I'm open to suggestions here.

And your English is better than mine!  :-)

Most people complaining here about their weak English seem to have pretty high standards set for themselves. I seem to find nothing very dismal or stunted in their linguistic ability, except maybe a grammatical error here and there.
