[steering-discuss] Having fixed-time calls

Hello,

I received various inquiries of having fixed times for the SC calls, to avoid confusion and help better planning. I do not want to decided that on my own, so I would like to ask for feedback, especially from the SC members, as they have to participate. :slight_smile:

What I could imagine is keeping our alternating scheme, i.e. one call Monday to Thursday, and the following week it is Friday to Sunday.

In addition, looking at European time zones, I propose we have the calls during the week between 18 and 20 UTC+2 (=German time, i.e. 16 to 18 UTC). At the weekends, I propose to have it during the day.

Does that make sense?

I agree, this is very European-centric, so I would like to especially ask the colleagues from other countries to give their feedback, as I do not want to exclude anyone.

Just one example what we could do:

Having a call on Wednesday at 1700 UTC (=1900 German time),
and the following week on Satuday at 1500 UTC (=1700 German time).
Next week again Wednesday at 1700 UTC
and so on.

I am still not convinced, and would prefer voting per week, but as I have been asked, I'd love to share.

It's ok for me. And as I'll be in Europe from July, this is not an issue if some meetings are a bit late in my day time until then :slight_smile:

Kind regards

At least to me :wink:

Well ... a fixed date takes me ~1 Minute (per year) to put it my calendar.
Voting per week takes ~5 Minutes per week. So for me it's quite simple
to favour regular meetings :wink:

For me - anything is better than something that moves around: with
something fixed I can plan my life around it, and get used to it :wink: I'd
like to have one of the meetings in UK working hours during the week
though if possible.

ok, so far the feedback has been rather positive. :slight_smile: So, I'll wait one more day if someone objects, and then start the poll for the fixed times, i.e. which time we should pick.

Hello,

ok, so far the feedback has been rather positive. :slight_smile: So, I'll wait one
more day if someone objects, and then start the poll for the fixed
times, i.e. which time we should pick.

here's the poll:

Future SC calls should have fixed times. One week, the call should be during the week, i.e. Monday to Thursday, and the next week, it should be on the weekend, i.e. Friday to Sunday.

Please cast your vote for your most preferred times. I will pick the most preferred time during the week and the most preferred time on the weekend.

You can also mark specific dates as "when it has to be", rathert than "preferred".

NB: You can ignore the specific dates in the poll, just the days of week matter.

Would love to :wink: the problem is the links I get 'Yes' '(Yes)' 'No' for
each date don't do anything & are not what is normally there [ perhaps
I'm just unlucky and/or doodle is kaput ? ]

  HTH,

    Michael.

hm, works for me (the column gets a different color when I click). Seems to work for others too. Any script or ad blocker on your side installed?

Hi,

ideally, I would like to have feedback from all SC seat holders *and* their deputies. So, about 12 voices are still missing in the poll. :slight_smile:

I will close the poll by Monday morning (German time). Right now, it looks like future calls will be

  Wednesday, 1600 UTC (7 votes)
and the next week on
  Saturday, 1400 UTC (9 votes)

You can still make changes or add your vote, until the poll is closed.

Works for me, but is there anything else to change? :slight_smile:

Best,
