Step 1: Schedule It – Schedule the meeting for a time when all attendees are known to be asleep.
Step 2: Set It Up – Set up a conference call, but make sure to mute everyone's mics, except for the sound of crickets.
Step 3: Execute – Execute the plan, but execute it in your absence, via email or a trusty proxy.
Step 4: Reappear – Reappear, but only when absolutely necessary, with a witty remark, and a well-timed coffee refill.
