I like this idea too. Meetings remind that we are a team and we are
alive. Active participation is the concern though.

IMO, meetings per month per region would be reasonable. Having
meetings per week is too cumbersome.

I am ok and do hope EMEA and APAC can find a convenient time slot for
this. If so APAC+EMEA would be a good combination :)

It is good to divide tasks(wranglers?) and monitor them in
releases(Wallpapers, artwork, sleeves, CD/DVDartwork, Tshirts, event
posters, release parties, etc..). (We are doing this but more
organized manner).
