Dealing with timezones and consecutive meeting days guidance

[anssiko]

We may want to update Dealing with timezones with consideration for consecutive meeting days.

In the context of our recent virtual meeting we received the following feedback:

I'd suggest future meetings avoid consecutive days with meetings at the extreme end of the day. In practice this would slow down the overall meeting speed, e.g. taking two weeks instead of one.

Note that there is a big rewrite of that section hanging out in a PR... https://github.com/w3c/Guide/pull/118

Thank you @samuelweiler for keeping us in the loop. If I'm not mistaken, #18 is about editorial corrections.

I'd appreciate if you could drop another pointer here when substantial changes are being proposed and we're happy to review them in the group to ensure they address our participants' concerns. As the chair of multiple groups, it is imperative to me all participants are dealt with fairly with respect to all the things related to our business, meeting scheduling included (a consideration that has not surprisingly increased in importance during this WFH period).

@w3c/advisory-board @igarashi50 any thoughts on adding the recommendation to avoid consecutive days when organizing distributed meetings?
