Global distribution of TC members for maximizing involvement

Hi all, 

I have an action item from the last meeting to review the geographical / timezone distribution of TC members (I did not include observers) as input to a discussion on how we can manage the meeting times to enable maximum participation. 

Rather than list individuals or break out individual time zones, I counted members in the closely related ones together. Here is what I found. 

- Europe (UTC, +1) = 8

 

- North America east coast (UTC - 5) = 10 

- North America  west coast (UTC -7, -10) = 7

- Asia (UTC +9) = 1 

So we do indeed have a fair number of members on the Pacific coasts involved. Making a convenient meeting time for those members might help them to participate more easily and fully.
