I'm a bit confused by this question. The ISTQB syllabus covers a lot of ground, and I'm not sure I fully understand the nuances of communication for distributed teams. I'll have to review my notes before answering this one.

Weekly mandatory meetings with everyone present doesn't seem very practical for a distributed team. That would be a logistical nightmare. I'm leaning towards the build acceptance option to keep everyone on the same page.
