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

All,

We have no TTWG meeting scheduled between 2021-10-31 and 2021-11-07: I propose that in keeping with our usual decision for how to handle DST switches over the past few years we adjust our meeting time beginning with our call on 2021-11-11 until the next DST switch, in 2022, to keep the same local time in the US and Europe. Unfortunately this will cause a change for any attendees in places that do not have DST switches, e.g. Japan.

More concretely, I propose:

For our calls beginning 2021-11-11, the start time will be 1600 UTC. (since the previous DST switch it has been 1500 UTC)

I do not propose to change the cadence of our calls, being every 2 weeks currently.

Please let me and Gary know if that will cause any difficulties for you.

Kind regards,

Nigel

    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:
