I see many meetings that I consider attending, but look at all that start at 6 PM.  That's right when I start making dinner.  I don't know when people eat if a meeting starts then, but there's little choice when you work and have to start getting ready for bed at 10!  It is hard for people who work to attend meetings at that time.  Maybe 7 PM?  It is difficult to find a good time, I realize.  What do others think?
