Formalize API Backlog meeting time anchor: UTC vs. CET/CEST impact on APAC participants #334

Description

@albertoramosmonagas

Problem description
The API Backlog meetings currently follow a CET/CEST time anchor (Central European Time), which includes daylight saving time shifts. While this reflects the current participant preference, it was never formally discussed or agreed upon at the working group level. This creates an implicit assumption that may affect scheduling and participation for attendees in APAC and other regions where DST works differently or not at all.

Shifting from UTC (DST-agnostic) to CET/CEST (DST-dependent) requires consensus from all affected regions to ensure fair scheduling and reduce friction.

Expected action

  1. Bring this decision point to the next API Backlog meeting agenda
  2. Gather input from APAC, Americas, and other regional participants on time preferences
  3. Document the decision and reasoning in the Backlog governance docs
  4. If CET/CEST is confirmed as the anchor, document the DST offset rules for clarity
