Looking at the minutes from this time last year [1], I'd like to reiterate the plan for dealing with the return to standard time in Europe and the US. -- Europe returns to standard time on October 30th -- US returns to standard time on November 6th -- China does not change their clocks This means our meetings of October 31st and November 7th will occur during a period where Europe has returned to standard time, but the US has not. Proposal: The October 31st and November 7th meeting will be at 13:30 UTC (6.30am PDT, 9:30am EDT, 2:30pm CET, 9:30pm China). Note that this moves the meeting 1 hour earlier for Europe. Starting with the November 14th meeting, we will meet at 14:30 UTC(6.30am PST, 9:30am EST, 3:30pm CET, 10:30pm China). Note that this moves the meeting back to the original time in Europe, but moves it 1 hour later for China. Regards, -Rob [1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/201010/msg00678.html

Um, if the US returns to standard time on November 6, then the November 7 meeting will be on US Standard time and Europe will also be on their standard time, not just November 14.

You are correct. So that would give us something like: The October 31st meeting will be at 13:30 UTC (6.30am PDT, 9:30am EDT, 2:30pm CET, 9:30pm China). Note that this moves the meeting 1 hour earlier for Europe. Starting with the November 7th meeting, we will meet at 14:30 UTC(6.30am PST, 9:30am EST, 3:30pm CET, 10:30pm China). Note that this moves the meeting back to the original time in Europe, but moves it 1 hour later for China. Or we could just cancel the meeting of October 31st. US Halloween, but isn't the 1st a holiday in Europe? All Saints Day? -Rob "Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org> wrote on 10/20/2011 04:15:20 PM: > From: "Dennis E.

All Saints Day in Western Christianity is November 1st. And I think it is a legal holiday only in some European locales. Andreas -- Andreas J.
