As I assume it to be common sense, confcalls not beeing the way to get
community wide decisions. What about building local/timezone based
groups holding conf calls at a time convenient to their members?
Afterwards sharing the results on the mailing lists where people can
read them at any convenient moment?

Where is the timezone nobody would be excluded?

See above. Another fact to consider: many people are excluded simply by
not beeing capable to follow nor participate a spoken english
coversation at telephone but can do so writing english or persoally
present.

My conclusion: Conf calls can complete the daily community work but
should not be a in any way main part of it.
