I appreciate things can get very U.S.-centric but please don't forget that there is an entire planet's time zones to take into account. This must be the case if a more global effort is to be considered. I think its also the case that people lead busy lives and simply forget. If SIGS are to have meetings then they should consider creating a calendar to subscribe to, make that stand out on the main $SIG page and also consider some kind of reminder email system ???
