Hi everyone.<br><br>I&#39;m not sure about things here in Australia, but as countries in the northern hemisphere enter daylight savings time, countries in the southern hemisphere generally exit it. This appears to have a most unfortunate effect of adding a nominal two hours to an already inconvenient time difference.<br>
<br>I know this set of circumstances furthers the misfortune of those of us who live &quot;away from the action&quot;, but as this is a virtual world, misfortunes can be lessened if some consideration were given to lessen the prospect of a late-night or early-morning conference call.<br>
<br>Can I suggest that if perhaps one or two calls per year be scheduled in the evening after dinner in the US east coast will be taken before dinner in the west, and some time around mid-morning where I am.<br><br>Thanks,<br>

Hello All—<br>
<br>
This note serves as a reminder that North America will be entering Daylight Savings Time (DST) this upcoming weekend, with the EU following suit on March 27th. This always proves to be a challenging week for convening calls across multiple time zones. Please make a note and compute your designated call times appropriately. (For your reference, the Kantara telecon calendar is adjusted for PST.)<br>
