There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.
Honolulu and Paris are 12 hours apart, and that gap is wide enough that their normal 9-to-5 workdays never quite touch. If you meet regularly, fix one off-hours slot and rotate it between Honolulu and Paris so the burden doesn't fall on one team. Finally, Paris observes daylight saving and Honolulu doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
