Subject: Daylight Saving Time (DST) change -- second half of 2021

Dear Chairs,

This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming Daylight Saving Time change:

     https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/events.html

Most European clocks shift back 1 hr to UTC+1 on Sunday 31 October 2021.
Most of the US/Canada clocks shift back 1 hr a week later, Sunday 7
November 2021.

Between October 31 and November 7, the time difference between Canada/US
and Europe will be 1 hour less than it currently is. This means that for
that week the teleconferences that are scheduled according to the
US/Canada 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 Europe/Canada/US will be one hour
more than it currently is.

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:
