I think that's a good idea. It's just deciding when...and topics? and what we seek to achieve in these "meetings", unless that's not a necessity.....? The whole IRC meeting concept is rather new to me, so I'm not sure how organized/micromanaged it needs to be.

It doesn't need to be micro-managed, but it does help to have a moderator to kick off the meeting, say when to wrap things up, keep track of questions, and try to make sure people don't get drowned in a wall of text (though some side conversation is inevitable and okay). If you want to talk about this further Sarah, myself or Philippe have both run WMF office hours in #wikimedia-office and would be happy to give you more of a primer.
