Just in case you are not familiar with AOE, it stands for Anywhere on Earth (See http://www.ieee802.org/16/aoe.html)

From my point of view, it can be any timezone as long as the cutoff time is the same in all cases. While we are on topic, I propose to use AOE as defined by IEEE (I think 802.16).

I'm sure there's an opportunity for us to pick a time zone for IETF 71
cutoffs!

you mean like UTC?

:-)

OK, guilty. My point was that the cutoff time seemed to be "close of business, ET", and I was kinda hoping that whatever time we picked would be "close of business, a little further west" :-)

... especially if we were headed toward using the same cutoff TIME for all IETF cutoffs (BOF requests, WG meeting requests, registration, ID cutoffs, etc) ...

Thanks,

I'd note that all the reference times in this message were in the same
timezone just not at the same time. I submit that I really hate having
to convert the offset from my current timezone in someone else's
particularly when I can't remember when their daylight savings time
begins or ends. however the challenge really is that they're not all in
my calender rather than than that I need to calculate the offset because
software will happily do that for me.

Thanks,

Spencer
