Yea, except for meetings where the organizer puts it at 9am and then is late themselves.

If you schedule me for a meeting in a time range where I can't be available, I'll tell you. That's true for timezone issues / conflicts / bad-time-of-day.

I'm not a morning person either, but you can always ask the organizer to change the time. If you've agreed to meet at 9, stay true to your word.

That leaves 10-11 and 2-4 as the only acceptable meeting times, accounting for differing lunch times and the people who can leave at 4 because they showed up to work at 7:30 or 8.

10-12 and 2-4 has been the rule at several places I've worked. These have been considered core hours, and the best time to set up a meeting. Meetings at other times would still take place, but you would check everyone was OK with it first.

> terribly antisocial

No... no, it's not. Terribly antisocial would be to have it at lunch time. Let's not make it worse than it is, 9 o'clock can be inconvenient for some, but it's not "terribly antisocial".
