This is actually similar to how many projects organize their meetings. Having two separate meetings at "opposite" times allows everyone to have a choice of meetings to attend with at least one of the times being optimal for any given location. Using proper recording methods, everyone is then able to see what happened at each meeting. In the meeting procedures page (which should exist if it doesn't already), it should be documented that the meeting notes should be sent to all related channels/lists after each meeting to promote community involvement.
I think that if everyone is okay with at least one of these times then this is fine, though it should be noted that this time schedule makes it awkward for any particular region to attend both meetings; traditionally the time rotates exactly 12 hours so that at least one timezone is capable of attending every meeting. The only adjustment I would make is that the meetings should be moved to weekly in this case. If the meeting times rotate and are set for every two weeks, this means that each group meets only once a month--hardly as useful.
