Although the planning for this a bit far along now, one consideration I might add from experience on working with other transglobal IT projects is the effect of timezones on local mood/alertness/awareness etc. The guys at 9am pinging on their first coffee in the antipodes will be in a different mindset than those at 21:00 in Europe, and this is unavoidable. What is possible is to schedule the meeting every other week at a time that is better for the "other" half, whoever that might be. This comes at the cost of not having an exactly same time set every week.
