You might get more interest on the World Forum.

I've always thought that ANS has this meeting at 3:00 PM on a Saturday as a way to limit attendance of the hoi polloi (much like corporations have their annual meetings in out of the way places). Now that the meeting is virtual, you would think that they could have chosen a day/time when potential attendees might be at home in front of their computer. Tradition dies hard, I guess.

Why any interest? He supplied all you need to know. Why reply, either you attend or you don't. He can put it in the world too.🙂

Perhaps. Though I am trying to broaden our appeal to the US collectors that the ANS had ignored for the past 20 years.
3pm on a Saturday being a difficult time? Should we have made it for 10am on a Monday when everyone is at work?
