I think you're confused about UTC: some people missed the meeting yesterday evening as the reminder said 21:00 UTC, and the final nomination (Eduardo's) may have been received by you at 23:11 UTC, but went through my email system (according to the headers) at 22:02 UTC. UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) is, for all intents and purposes, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). GMT is *not* always the time in the UK, however. Currently, most of continental Europe and the US is on Daylight Savings Time (DST). This means the UK is on BST, which is GMT+1. The time in Finland, according to Wikipedia[1] is EST (UTC+2) or EEST (UTC+3). According to timeanddate.com[2] Finland, like the UK, is on DST at the moment. So, local time in Finland is UTC+3; in the UK is UTC+1. Finland is, as it therefore always is, 2 hours ahead of the UK.
