Ah. So that's what happened to the email I was composing on my iPhone - it
got sent! Next time I'll ask my pocket to delete it rather than send it.

As I was trying to say, I think our priority should be maximizing the
number of people who can attend, not maximizing for me attending. I worry
that having alternating meetings will lead to having non-overlapping sets
of people in the meetings, but even if that happens I'm not sure if it's
worse than only having a subset of people in the meeting.

I'd be happy to stick with 1900UTC if it means more people can regularly
make the meeting, even if it means I can't make it all the time. Switching
to alternating 1900 Tuesday and 2100 Wednesday would mean I could make more
meetings, but I don't know how it would affect other people.

Speaking for myself, I find the current time is slightly painful, but

Bad time math - I was in the middle of updating this when my phone decided
to send the mail. 2100UTC will be 2200 London, 1400 SF, 0700 Sydney.
