Time and Time Again
Synopsis:
This scenario is based on the Chair of a working party trying to schedule a regular meeting time that is not convenient for participants in different time zones.
Discussion points:
- Is it appropriate for the Chair to settle on a set time for each meeting with international members on the working party?
- How could the committee members (especially those in farther time zones) reply?
- How can the Chair plan and execute these meetings differently given that a lot is covered during them?
- Does the Chair need to be more accommodating since there are members from different time zones? If yes, how can the Chair go about doing that?
