What are the dates of the WG6 meeting?

[Paul Cotton]

> The proposal is that the WG 6 Stockholm meeting should run from 14:00 to 17:00 CET (13:00 - 16:00 GMT / 08:00 - 11:00 EST) on Thursday March 25 

First, note that North America goes off Standard Time onto Daylight Savings Time (DST) on Sun Mar 14 this year (ie on the second Sun in March) .  I believe Sweden moves to DST on Sun Mar 28 (last Sun of March).  This means that NA will have shifted but Europe will not have shifted on March 25 and 26!  

According to [1], this means that 14:00 CET will be 09:00 EDT ie one hour later in ET.

Second, I expect to be in the ET zone during these meetings.  I will certainly attend the Thu Mar 25 meeting (09:00-12:00 EDT) and will try to attend the Fri Mar 26 meeting but note that it starts much earlier in the ET zone ie at 04:00 EDT.

The proposal is that the WG 6 Stockholm meeting should run from 14:00 to
17:00 CET (13:00 - 16:00 GMT / 08:00 - 11:00 EST) on Thursday March 25 and
from 09:00 to 13:00 CET (08:00 - 12:00 GMT / 04:00 - 07:00 EST) on Friday
March 26, i.e. an afternoon followed by a morning local time. 

The SC 34 Plenary is proposed for 14:00 - 17:00 on Friday March 26, i.e.
following the WG 6 meeting. The WG 6 meeting and the Plenary will use the
same meeting room, which will seat up to 40 persons.

Kimura-san needs to know by Monday (February 1) of any change in what is
proposed, so that she can confirm meeting room requirements for the whole
week with our Swedish hosts.

My suggestion is that business requiring decisions, including agreeing
recommendations to put to the SC 34 Plenary, should be scheduled for the
Thursday afternoon, to facilitate remote participation; while consideration
of new Defect Reports and other business not requiring immediate decisions
should be scheduled for the Friday morning, so that remote US participants
can choose to opt out of an overnight teleconference call.
