Re the fixed rotating schedule, I'd appreciate some input on the following:
   * there would be 3 zones - Americas / Europe / Asia-Pacific
   * generally we can cover 2 zones per month
   ** Americas evening would cover APAC day
   ** Europe evening would cover Americas day
   ** APAC evening would cover Europe day
   * the meeting will be scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of each month
   ** what would be a suitable time to start?
   ** 8pm in the evening in the zone?
   *** in the Americas zone that would be 8pm US East coast
   *** in the European zone that would be 8pm Western Europe
   *** in the APAC zone that would be 8pm Australia East coast


This means the times (before adjusting for daylight saving time) will be:

%|Location|Americas|Europe|APAC|%
&|UTC|0100 + 1 day|1900|1000|&
&|UK|0100 + 1 day|1900|1000|&
&|Western Europe|0200 + 1 day|'''2000'''|1100|&
&|India|0630 + 1 day|0030 + 1 day|1530|&
&|Western Australian|0900 + 1 day|0300 + 1 day|1800|&
&|Eastern Australian|1100 + 1 day|0500 + 1 day|'''2000'''|&
&|New Zealand|1300 + 1 day|0700 + 1 day|2200|&
&|Western US|1700|1100|0200|&
&|Central US|1900|1300|0400|&
&|Eastern US|'''2000'''|1400|0500|&

with adjustment for daylight saving time (i.e. the 2000 stays but other zones are adjusted if they are not on DST).

If that passes the sniff test I'll prepare a schedule for 2023 (and beyond)
   * January Americas
   * February Europe
   * March APAC
   * April Americas
   * May Europe
   * June APAC
   * July Americas
   * August Europe
   * September APAC
   * October Americas
   * November Europe
   * December APAC

[APN] Looks about as reasonable as possible.
