> Dear Chairs,
>
> This is a Semi-annual reminder of the upcoming Daylight Saving Time
> (DST) change:
>      https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2025a.html
>
> Most of the US and Canada will be moving their clocks forward on Sunday,
> 9 March. This is three weeks earlier than Europe. Most European clocks
> will move one hour forward on Sunday, 30 March.
>
> Between 9 March and 30 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 regions 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, 6 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.
