Hello Zane. It's really the great news, that you would like to make some changes in the alt meeting time. I agree with folks, that creating meeting at the time when we lose a lot of people from US is not a good idea. I think that we should have meeting at the time which will be comfortable for the most part of the core team.
About alternative time: both variant looks good for me ;) >From the other side (if don't forget about ideas above), I prefer to abandon the alt meeting and move it at 19.00 UTC (if we want to have some "alternative" in the time). Anyway, thank you for the good ideas ;) Regards, Sergey.
