Re: Daylight savings time reminder

By the way, great idea from Gershon Janssen! I did not mean to slight or overlook our participants not in EU or US. It is just that timezones globally vary in their practice, from Argentina, Cameroon and Russia that don't do Daylight Saving at all to Macquarie Island where they apparently like it so much that they are staying on DST all year long to Lord Howe Island which runs on Lord Howe time (yes, seriously) and only shifts the clocks 30 minutes. (Lord Howe was famous for always being 1/2 hour late.)

Here is a list of all countries and their 2016 Daylight Saving Time dates compliments of timeanddate.com: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2016.html

Best,

TC chairs, just a reminder that we are in that Twilight Zone again where the clocks get jumpy. Much of the world (Europe for example) have dropped back an hour yesterday (October 30th). The United States and Canada, on the other hand, want to make sure it all works out ok before taking the leap next Sunday (November 6th).

I'm not sure how well the calendars handle this but for this week you might want to suggest that folks double check meeting start times.
