Companion Document

The companion page to this one, Extended Daylight Saving Time Review and Considerations, provides a review of the Daylight Saving Time changes and the potential impact of this change on computer systems and devices. It is intended as a review and reference for users and in particular for systems administrators who may need to make necessary updates to their systems.
 

Future Documents and Proposals

New CalConnect plans to update this page as information becomes available prior to November 4th. Following November 4 an update to CalConnect EDST Reflections and Recommendations may be prepared to take into account additional information from the November transition.

New CalConnect has also initiated work in TC TIMEZONE, one of its Technical Committees, on proposals for a formal, universal Timezone Registry and a companion Timezone Service protocol, intended to make the management of timezones (and related phenomena such as DST) substantially easier in the future.
