[WikiEN-l] BLP task force meeting

[FastLizard4]

...who said you have to pay to get on IRC?  The only thing you have to  
"pay" for to get on IRC is your Internet connection, but that would  
make Wikipedia a for-pay service too.  There are plenty of free IRC  
clients, such as ChatZilla, xChat, and irssi....

Of course, all this rambling is just to say that only one of your  
points is valid, but then again, the time point is why most IRC  
meetings take place after some on-wiki discussion about the best time  
to hold said meeting.

Also, holding meetings on IRC is in some ways better than on-wiki, as  
it is considered by some (myself included) to be a more open  
environment for discussion.
