Subject: Daylight time changes
Hello UBL TC, It's that jolly time of year we all look forward to -- the switchover to daylight time in some (but not all) of our locations in not one, but two different weeks. What fun! In keeping with established practice, our meeting times will change as follows starting the week of 2 April 2006 (N.B. next week is special -- keep reading!): - The Pacific call will stay at 00:30-02:30 UTC/GMT every Tuesday, but due to the change to daylight time, the clock time for callers in the U.S. will appear to shift forward one hour (to start at 17:30 Monday in San Francisco and 20:30 Monday in New York). The starting local time will remain at 08:30 Tuesday in Hong Kong, Singapore, Perth, and Beijing and at 09:30 Tuesday in Seoul and Tokyo. The starting time will shift *back* one hour from 11:30 to 10:30 Tuesday in Sydney; the reason is left as an exercise for the reader. - The Atlantic call, on the other hand, will move back one hour to run from 15:00-17:00 UTC/GMT instead of 16:00-18:00 UTC/GMT so that the local (now daylight) times in North America and most parts of Europe appear to stay the same as they were during the winter (08:00-10:00 in San Francisco, 11:00-13:00 in New York, 16:00-18:00 in London, 17:00-19:00 in Copenhagen, Paris, and Rome). HOWEVER, due to the fact that the European cities just noted change to daylight time one week ahead of the U.S., next week's schedule will be different from both our regular winter schedule and our regular summer schedule. The UTC times will stay the same as during the winter for both Pacific and Atlantic calls, and the Pacific meeting time will stay the same as it has been for the last few months for all our callers, but the Atlantic TC call will move one hour later for the European cities switching to daylight time this week. Next week, as the U.S. changes to daylight time, we will switch to the regular summer times described above. See below for a summary of the three different schedules.
