So, I was actually just trying to communicate the time of *this week's*
meeting in a non-ethnocentric manner by using UTC.  I did not mean to commit
us to abandoning a shift for daylight savings time.  That's something we can
discuss between now and the DST shift (perhaps a topic on a future call or
for the implementers meeting?).  We could go either way; I agree that a 6am
call (for folks in UTC-8) is a lot to ask.
