+1 for even earlier. it requires west coast Americas to wake up early 
but the biggest time gap is the Pacific. that said, it's entirely 
possible most of those participating are from west coast...

maybe we should shift more emphasis to ML? working with non-native 
English speaking companies, i know they are very interested in 
participating but considering the oft hectic pace of the 'live' 
meetings, they tend to be viewers as they can't get their ideas into 
English fast enough.
