Making the WHATNOT meeting cadence weekly

[past]

What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

In last week's WHATNOT meeting we agreed to start meeting weekly in order to keep up with the increasing load. There were no objections from the people in the room, so I am filing this issue for broader visibility.

The concrete proposal is as follows: the current biweekly schedule is alternating between 3 time slots to accommodate different time zones. Given the uneven participation and agenda length in these meetings, we will add a new Europe+America-friendly meeting in the weeks without an existing WHATNOT meeting. This will allow carryovers from those meetings to be discussed in 2 weeks, instead of the current 6 weeks, and help us make faster progress on several topics. We will not otherwise change or remove any existing meetings.

Of course we will continue to skip meetings without sufficient participation or without any tagged topics for discussion. If there are no questions or concerns, I plan to make this change after the next regularly-scheduled meeting.

I'm fine with the proposal above. (I'm just an occasional participant anyway.)

But one other option might be, particularly if the proposed new meeting time is the same as the existing Europe+America-friendly time (9:00 California time), to effectively drop that time from the existing rotation and produce a simpler 4-week cycle:

• Asia + Europe (10:00 Paris time)
• Europe + America (9:00 California time)
• America-West + East-Asia + Australia + Pacific (8:00 Japan time)
• Europe + America (9:00 California time)

I agree that David's proposal is simpler and will modify the calendar invites to adhere to it soon.

The calendar invites are now updated per David's proposal.
