Folks, I thought it might be helpful if someone actually calculated the times we are talking about. On Wednesday, 31 October, 2007, our choices are (according to my calculations) Option 1: 06:30 West Coast US and Canada (daylight time) 09:30 East Coast US (daylight time) 11:30 Brazil (eastern - daylight time) 13:30 Britain (standard time) 14:30 Europe (most - standard time) 15:30 Greece (standard time) 00:30 Australia (eastern - daylight time) Option 2: 07:30 West Coast US and Canada (daylight time) 10:30 East Coast US (daylight time) 12:30 Brazil (eastern - daylight time) 14:30 Britain (standard time) 15:30 Europe (most - standard time) 16:30 Greece (standard time) 01:30 Australia (eastern - daylight time) In Option 1, we stay with the same time in the U.S., which moves Europe earlier. Australia moves only one later, having moved to daylight time. Brazil moved that hour last week, and is unchanged this week. In Option 2, we change the clocks with Europe, moving to a later time for the U.S. (because we are still on daylight time). Australia moves two hours later because they have just changed to daylight time. Brazil moved to daylight time last week, moving an hour later, and moves a second hour later this week. If you plan to attend the meeting Wednesday, and have not expressed a preference among these options, please do so immediately. Also, if one of these options is infeasible for you but you can (and would) make the other, please let us know. Thanks! Kathy
