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
  • 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

For example, if we'd used this schedule in Jan 2023 the times would have been:

LocationTime
UTC0100 + 1 day
UK0100 + 1 day
Western Europe0200 + 1 day
India0630 + 1 day
Western Australian0900 + 1 day
Eastern Australian1200 + 1 day (daylight savings)
New Zealand1400 + 1 day (daylight savings)
Western US1700
Central US1900
Eastern US2000

If that passes the sniff test I'll prepare a schedule for 2023 (and beyond)

  • January Americas
  • February Europe
  • March APAC

and then repeat that throughout the year, adjusting only for daylight savings.

APN Looks about as reasonable as possible.
