100% with Avri on this.

UTC is a time saver ;)

Hi,

I am in favor of just sticking with UTC and not bothering with the
complexities of who is going in or out of DST at any time.  I suggest
that for all WGs. and will suggest it for any group I am in.

Hello All,

 
I did some basic analysis to try and understand the impact of staying
on the same UTC time versus moving 1 hour forward on UTC (e.g., the
1500 UTC would be 1600 UTC). I’d say it’s inconclusive and at least to
me, not terribly surprising – it helps in some cases and hurts in
others. When there are early meetings, adding an hour to the UTC helps
and when it’s evening or middle of the night, it generally makes
things worse. Unfortunately, I don’t think this gives us a clear path
forward, but it at least lets us see how it affects this particular WG
in certain regions of the world. I’ve highlighted the most difficult
meetings times in red.

 
Note, this analysis would be as of 7 November, so to the extent that
timeanddate.com accurately captures what regions observe daylight
savings, that factor should be taken into account.

 
Best,

Steve
