Meta I2D: Deprecate Periodic Asia/Oceania Design Reviews

[samouri]

Context

The AMP Projects holds public weekly design reviews on Wednesdays. In order to be inclusive of our global network of AMP Contributors, we cycle the timezone of the meeting between one convenient for Americas, Asia/Oceania, and Africa/Europe/western Asia.

We've historically had incredibly poor attendance for Asia/Oceania reviews. This is a problem because design reviews are only useful if we have a sizable number of folks to give guidance and help make decisions.

Proposal

Remove the the Asia/Oceania design review from our weekly rotation as well as update the guidance in our documentation for how to create ad-hoc meetings.

Our current documentation says:

If none of the design review times are convenient for you and you have a design you would like to discuss please reach out to mrjoro on Slack.

We should improve this s.t. we don't have a single point-of-contact.
We can create a #design-review channel on Slack for folks to reach out on. Through that channel we can schedule design reviews and ensure appropriate reviewers.

Deprecation Plan

2. Created a dedicated slack channel for design review questions/requests.
3. Modify our design review documentation to recommend reaching out on the new channel.
4. Modify our scripts to stop generating Design Review issues for Asia/Oceania timezone.

design review feedback

Instead of the plan above, pursue a slower deprecation path:

1. Still create dedicated slack channel, which may be useful for other situations as well e.g. unblocking folks during periods of high rate of design reviews. Also update the documentation from "contact mrjoro".
2. Instead of removing Asia/Oceania from our rotation, reduce its frequency to 1/3rd of its current cadence. If two in a row have nobody request a design review, then fully remove from rotation. else keep it at the reduced cadence.

Thanks for taking these notes @samouri. The updated approach looks great to me.

Can you work with @alanorozco to alter scripts to match?

Alan had completed the PR that updates the scripts before I had even finished presenting 😄

Whoa! Amazing. Nice work @alanorozco!

Our documentation states I need at least 3 approval from @ampproject/wg-approvers for I2Ds (or maybe just "significant changes"?).
Is that still true? If so I'll hold off until I have two more approvals.

+1, I approve this change. Thanks for improving the usefulness of our design review meetings, @samouri and @alanorozco!

Closing as the timezone has been removed from the rotation after the 2nd cancelled one.
