Hello all, First test of inclusion: be inclusive of time zones. I've updated the whenisgood [1] to accept a broader time range. From 6am to 9pm Pacific to be more doable for people in EMEA and APAC. To those who have already responded with time preferences, can you submit another response with the new times? Jonathan's suggestion of having multiple half days at different times could be a good compromise (one day you wake up early, another day you stay up late).
