India is having countrywide power outages in the evenings, with rolling blackouts in various places. These outages are somewhat unpredictable. For best results, it’s been suggested to schedule meetings in the morning India time if possible, at least through monsoon season (which is afternoon/evening for the United States). Many in India have access to the Internet at work but not when they get home and have to deal with outages.
Many STC members work with people in India, and several committees have members from India. We’ve heard from some members wondering why they aren’t hearing back from people in India, so we wanted to pass along a potential reason why.
