Finding the current time in UTC could reasonably be left as an exercise

I have a recurring remote participation problem with the
IETF Meeting Agendas, because it specifies the time of WG meeting slots
in local time (local to the IETF Meeting), but does not give the
local time zone *anywhere*.
I would appreciate if the local time zone indication would be added
like somewhere at the top of the page, to each IETF meeting agenda.
The good news is the iCalendar data available for the agenda does have the
correct timezone specified, so if you import the iCalendar data into your
calendar client (of course assuming you use one) then you will be able to
view the sessions correctly adjusted to whatever local time you have your
client set for.
That said, it would still be nice to include the timezone information on
the agenda page.
It is worth noting that daylight saving time starts on the Sunday morning
of the IETF meeting, so all the agenda times are in fact UTC -4 hours for
Sunday and later days, but UTC -5 for Saturday.
