Today, there's s submission calling the plan precipitous: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-November/027219.html http://www.calconnect.org/news/2018/10/30/calconnect-calls-eu-reconsider-timeline-proposed-seasonal-time-changes ... Practical experience from similar changes in the past indicates that such changes pose serious risks to the accuracy of stored time-related data and schedules (such as meetings, appointments, flights and transit schedules). Therefore, we recommend providing a transition period of at least one year (12 months) after the final decision for the change has been made. Nothing is easy. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
