Thanks Stephane. Note the
following:
-
In the Option 2 column, I shaded the Hong Kong block
in red because I assumed a 2-hour meeting that would extend past
midnight.
-
In the Option 3 column, I shaded the Moscow time in
red for the same reason.
-
Also in the Option 3 column, using the approach I
took, I should have shaded the Tokyo time in
yellow.
I think I caused some confusion by the approach I
used. The just approved Council Operating Procedures recommend no
meetings from 11 pm to 6 am. Assuming that 11 pm to 12 am and 5 am to
6 am were not quite as bad as other times in that range, I treated them
differently (yellow shading). The yellow and red shading combined
cover the full range from 11 pm to 6 am. Does that make
sense?
I correct the Tokyo shading under Option 3 in the
attached spreadsheet.

Thanks Chuck.
I have made a couple of edits to your spreadsheet (there were a
couple of examples of wrong colour code use in columns 2 and 3.
Overall, I would suggest not alternating between 2 sets of options
but going with the (simpler IMO) 3-way rotation. Doing so would mean we
first settle on a preference between option 1 and 4. As you suggest you
would prefer option 4 to option 1 (which is just crazy to me as I would
rather work late than early, so it really is a case of personal preference
here), perhaps we can go with that one.
What do others think?
Thanks,
Stéphane
