While it's impossible to hold a particular WG session that works for ALL attendees around the world, let the WG chairs choose, for each WG, what time out of the 24-hour clock works for the majority of their active participants. It'll be up to the WG chairs to figure that out for each WG, with the approval of the relevant AD. But there's no reason why all of the WGs need to meet during the same "daylight" hours if the meeting is all virtual. WGs could also have multiple sessions optimized for different parts of the world, to spread the pain. Just a thought ....

Right, it would require attendees to stay awake for 24 hours for multiple days.  Not very workable.
