</div></div>slight clarification - are we discussing which time would suit best for<br>
the alternative meeting, or that we are scrapping the alternate, and<br>
re-voting for the best main meeting time. In either case the proposed<br>
times are still mostly not EU friendly (I guess the 1800 UTC would be ok<br>
for UK),<br>
<br>
