Thanks, TC had feedback about extending the timeslot of 13-17 UTC slots for 2 hrs. In the last PTG TC scheduled slots from 17-19 UTC<br>
which helped many TC members as well as community members to join the TC discussions. We might want to do the same in this<br>
PTG. To communicate these slots easily (via ptgbot), can we open 17-19 UTC slots in ptgbot? <br>
