What days were we thinking about doing this? I want to get this started, I think this will be a win for everyone?

(And don't believe what you read on twitter - Betty White and IRC are both still alive and kicking.)

Is it possible to switch meetings to Google Hangouts? IRC is essentially dead technology.

IRC is a good "low barrier to entry" technology: It operates reasonably well over slow connections, you can easily get into IRC with any number of clients across all OSes, and doesn't require any proprietary software. Some or all of those criteria may not be important to you personally, but they are important to others.
Also, we use meeting logging software that helps keep track of minutes/action items, etc. That doesn't work with Google Hangouts. Skimming the log of an IRC meeting is much easier than trying to skim through a recording of a hangout (assuming you're talking about using the audio/video and not just a group chatroom - but meetbot still doesn't work with Hangouts AFAIK).
Other folks may feel differently, but -1 here.
Best,
