You either can make or can't, if the preset times stop working then we revote for a new time (hopefully only a couple of times a year). We could set a quorum of say at least 5 people, anything below that regularly suggests we need a new time.

Traditionally this might be called the "Secretary" on a committee. I'm thinking this is a good role for someone who isn't a primary admin, and is less opinionated/invested in the topics.
