I think it's fair to say that no matter what time is selected for anything
then it is going to be inconvenient for some people - that's just a fact.
Furthermore, what might be a good time of day or day of the week for one
person will not be a good time of day/day of week for another person (even
if they are in the same timezone).
Live with it.
I live in Australia and I've never been able to make it to an 'office hours'
sometimes because it's in the middle of the night sometimes because I'm at
work. But, that's my problem not the WMFs.

The WMF have already offered to do it at two timeslots and if these are
sufficiently different from each other then that's about all that can be
done. You're never going to be able to please everyone in this issue.
