This was my fault, I added a single time frame instead of multiple time frames
for the dates selected. I did this because on the bottom of the page it gives
the relative time for the meeting proposers timezone and indicates that it will
translate timezones for the voters.

With this feedback January 7th and times of 15:00, 16:00, and 17:00 UTC are
added to the selections.

The meeting snippet was a reminder, this meeting will skip action on the
upcoming release with no impact on it at all nor vice-versa. We do however need
to address some the IRC and agenda questions of where our team fits into the
public release notification cycle.

There are 15-ish points and if everyone has an idea of what they want to say or
has an idea of a yay/nay we could conceivably run this meeting in 1 hour and 30
minutes. A few points being strict yes or no leave room for other points to go
over or under the minutes range.

We have done it before, though as with any meeting something may come up that
pushes it further, so like an IRL meeting come prepared or pre-discuss a few
points here on the list or in the channel for the sake of clearing the agenda
faster.

But yes, despite that if we cannot close something or something really needs
more voices on the topic, we will table it for the next meeting which should be
much shorter and that topic then can get the full attention that it deserves.
