Dear Group Participants, I'm forwarding a message from my W3C colleagues about changes to the schedule of upcoming teleconferences due to the clocks being moved to summer time earlier in the US that in other places. The message is attached below. In our Group's specific case, teleconferences are scheduled at 9:00EST. This means that for people in the US there won't be any changes, but for people in Europe (maybe in other places, too) some upcoming teleconferences will be an hour earlier than usual. Schedule and pointer to check your local time follow. * March 4: 9:00EST, 14:00Z http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=03&day=04&year=2009&hour=14&min=00&sec=0&p1=0 * March 11: No Chairs call (due to F2F2) * March 18: 9:00EST, 13:00Z http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=03&day=18&year=2009&hour=13&min=00&sec=0&p1=0 * March 25: 11:00EST, 15:00Z (Chairs call) http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=03&day=25&year=2009&hour=15&min=00&sec=0&p1=0 * April 1: 9:00EST, 14:00Z -- "back to normal" http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=04&day=01&year=2009&hour=13&min=00&sec=0&p1=0 Cheers, Jose.
