<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Time has come for us to <b>set the ALAC 2017 call schedule</b>. Last year, we sent out a Doodle poll to find rotating time slots and 3 times were identified:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>04:00 - 06:00 UTC</li><li>12:00 - 14:00 UTC</li><li>21:00 - 23:00 UTC</li></ul>
<div>Please find attached (doc” ALAC 2017 Rotating times v2) a schedule for the 2017 ALAC Monthly calls as well as the corresponding local times across the time zones (regions observing DST taken into account).</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Alan sent through the following note with the Doodle poll last year (see message attached):</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><b><i>For ALAC Members and Liaisons in particular, PLEASE BE FLEXIBLE. We </i></b><b><i>will try to avoid meetings in the dead of night, but with members </i></b><b><i>spanning the world, that will not always be possible
and we will do </i></b><b><i>our best to limit the number of times any individual member needs to </i></b><b><i>participate at really awkward times. It is not fair to force some </i></b><b><i>people to always bear the pain.</i></b></div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><b><i>If you have a particular situation that cannot be easily expressed in </i></b><b><i>the Doodle, please send a private note to me and Gisella.</i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">Please confirm:</div>
<ul>
<li>whether you agree with the above three rotating time slots
<ul>
<li>We are trying to share the pain!</li></ul>
</li><li>Whether you see any major issue with any of the dates & times suggested.</li></ul>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><b>Our first meeting in 2017 is scheduled on Tuesday 24 January 2017 at 04:00 UTC</b>. The meeting invitation will be sent out shortly.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">Thank you.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">Kind regards,</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">Gisella</div>
