A perfectly fine plan for any given meeting. For any given meeting, we
could also list it *only* in UTC if we wanted to, but....
how about listing it in WGST (greenland) and list the UTC as well?
A perfectly bad plan, because if you put in your calendar program "every
two weeks at 13:30 WGST", come next month you will show up at the wrong
time for the Oct 30 telechat.
Pacific Time (and not coincidentally also Eastern Time, Central Time,
and Mountain Time) gives you actual information, because the time of the
meeting *does* change during the year relative to UTC (and WGST and
loads of other time zones). As I said earlier, noting somewhere that the
meeting always occurs relative to Pacific Time *is* useful information.
what don't we get about *international* organization?
Again, we can change the meeting to always be fixed in UTC and move it
twice a year for everyone in a place that does summer time. Fine with
me. Equal shared suffering. But given the current scheduling of the
meeting, stating the schedule is *not* anti-international.
