A 3am timeslot in any time zone is not very feasable. 05:00 UTC seems to fit the best all around, +- one hour.

The time cap is a really good idea. It forces everyone to be concise and the meeting goes along much better, and quicker. People generally don't like 2 hour long meetings and lose focus, or just leave.

On a previous project I was on we ran it with SCRUM. The meetings were quick, informative, and much more beneficial than the long meetings. Here is how the meetings took shape:
- A moderator
- Each person in turn says what they worked on the previous day
- They then say what they will be working on today
- Then they inform anyone if they will need that person's help
- Once everyone has gone, those that need to stay for the agenda items stay, the others can leave - Each agenda item is time-capped, about 10-15 minutes, then the next item is discussed

If more discussion is needed, the meeting is closed and a discussion on the specific topic is carried out. No decisions are made, as not everyone will be there to supply input, but they are announced in the next meeting as an agenda item.

A similar version to this, but once a week instead of daily, could work quite well.

I was thinking of something towards 05:00 UTC:
- Vancouver     21:00    9pm
- Bangkok       12:00    noon
- Johannesubug  07:00    7am
- Nouméa        16:00    4pm

My vote is for the second timeslot.


Both work fine for me; I have no preference.
