But I think this is right - basically the call is always at 10am Pacific time, or maybe I should say, 10am Pacific Time for all of the states in the Pacific time zone that observe daylight savings, which is all of them with the exception of Arizona. > > Although if the intention is really to pin to UTC, it would be: > > … every other Thursday at 17:00 UTC (9am PST, 10am PDT/MST, 11am > MDT/CST, noon CDT/EST, 1pm EDT). > > There is similar nominally-UTC-pinned wording in [3,4], and possibly > in other places on the list.

This would also help with people who join the mailing list mid-year or update their calendars, etc, as they can always have the invite to add to their calendar (I usually send a new invite in January to the mailing list each year, which I send from my time zone - mountain time, all of which observes day light savings :) I think the tech team may also like this… Kate, Gary? What do you need to make this happen - a new repo in the SPDX Github account to store the ICS file(s)? Name for such repo? Thanks!
