Scheduling our regular UX team iteration plan meetings

[Daphne Ogle]

Does anyone have concerns with our iterations beginning on Tuesdays?

If not, I  say we go with Allison's suggestions and schedule our  
planning meeting for Tuesday 10:00 am - noon PST / 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm  
EST.

Please respond with +1 or -1 (with alternative suggestions) by end of  
day Thursday so we can firm this up and be ready for next week.

Thanks,

Daphne
