With some flexibility, there are two workable windows outside standard hours, depending on which side takes the early or late slot:
- 7 AM–8 AM in Eastern Time (7 PM–8 PM in Bayan Nur) — suggest 7:00 AM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Bayan Nur).
- 7 PM–8 PM in Eastern Time (7 AM–8 AM the next day in Bayan Nur) — suggest 7:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 AM Bayan Nur).
Either is an early start or late finish for one side, but workable for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
