Colleagues:
Because both Matthew and I are away this week APA will not meet this Wednesday. Some of our Task Forces are also not meeting this week, though a few may meet.
IMPORTANT!!
Please note the semi-annual time change transitions begin this coming weekend. The W3C email explaining the change is attached with this message. Essentially, North America is moving to Daylight Time this coming Sunday morning, and our calls next week will occur one hour earlier. Our meetings are all set to Boston Time, which will be -400 as of next Sunday.
Best,
Janina

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