Dear chairs,

This is a Semi-annual reminder of the upcoming change due to Daylight Saving Time (DST).
     https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2019a.html


Most of the US and Canada will be moving their clocks forward on Sunday,
10 March. This is three weeks earlier than Europe. Most European clocks will move 1 hour forward on Sunday, 31 March. Between 10 March and 31 March, the teleconferences that are scheduled according to the US clock will start *one hour earlier* in local time for most Europeans.

China, Japan and Russia do not observe DST, which means the time difference between these areas and US/Europe will be one hour less than it currently is.

For locations that observe DST in Australia and New Zealand, their clocks will shift back on Sunday, 7 April.

Please share this information with your groups, as it will have an impact on teleconferences. If you are unsure about the scheduled time of any teleconference, please confirm the time arrangements with your meeting host.

The meeting planner tool below may be helpful to find the time for your web meeting across time zones:
