All that will do is shift the discussion from "where shall we hold the 
meeting" to "what time/timezone shall we have for our conf call". Given 
that we have people participating from across the globe, trying to arrange 
a time that is acceptable for all participants will be just as hard as 
trying to find a meeting venue acceptable to all.

Unfortunately we don't have scheduling tools that will help resolve issues 
like that (or at least make it easier than a multiple party email 
exchange/negotiation) - but some of us are working on that!
