If we could have our discussions between 2000 and 2200 UTC on each of the three days we would be able to reflect on what happened at UDS and also not be over-booked.  I know that during the last virtual UDS I wound up over-booked in one time slot in three separate panels.  This would also help include Australian colleagues in participation too.

As Pasi has noted he does not wish to use Google+ and Google Hangouts that is one option we are ruling out.  We have to narrow down the options availble to us to see what we could use.

I've no problem with the aim of the above, though I'm more likely to be 
about at the 20:00 end than 22:00
