DST in West Australia?
by Jesper Norgaard Welen Oct. 25, 2006

Oct. 25, 2006

These four links talk about DST as a possibility in Queensland and West Australia: http://origin.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20642132-5006789,00.ht ml http://origin.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20640810-5006789,00.ht ml http://origin.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20637822-5006789,00.ht ml http://origin.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20635587-5006789,00.ht ml The status quo at the moment seems to be that Queensland will stay with no DST, while West Australia is likely to approve a three year trial, beginning DST December 1, 2006, outside the schedule of any other state of Australia (mainland states that use DST are in-synch, while Tasmania and Lord Howe Island have their own variations of DST). There are apparently two bills which might be merged into one. Anyways, for the moment there are no definitive decisions yet, although it seems an individual count of MPs votes in West Australia favor the approval of the new DST. Stay tuned!

FW: Beijing Time?
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Oct. 24, 2006

I'm forwarding this message from Emma Baillie, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list should direct replies appropriately. (Emma Baillie: within... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2006n.tar.gz ...there's a "Theory" file explaining the principles behind naming zones. Shanghai is used because it's the most populous city--at least by some measures--in the time zone of interest. Note that the eastern United States time zone where I live is known as "America/New_York" and not "America/Washington"--we're not singling out China for different treatment.) --ado -----Original Message----- From: Emma Baillie [mailto:ebaillie@aconex.com] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 2:19 AM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Beijing Time? My workplace has recently included data form the tz database into our web services, which are used in various different countries around the world including (recently) China. Our Chinese customers are quite unhappy about the fact that their timezone is specified as "Asia/Shanghai" not "Asia/Beijing". As one customer commented: "Every one knows whole china has only one time zone which was officially named Beijing Time Zone, My client told me that Chinese people really can not understand why we missed our Capital City Time Zone on the list.

I see from the official Chinese government website, that this also refers to the Chinese time zone as "Beijing Time" http://english.gov.cn/2005-08/25/content_26048.htm.

Brazilian "summer time" and elections.
by Andre Oct. 19, 2006

Oct. 19, 2006

Hello! Again, Brazilian "summer time" is different this year... From Nov 5th, 2006 to Feb 25th, 2007. http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHv5920.gif http://pcdsh01.on.br/HvInic06.htm And it is kind of urgent because every body's computer is already set with summer time when it should not. :-) Well, as a Brazilian I am ashamed of all this lack of organization: well, voting machines don't work well with summer time... change the summer time! Thank you, André Caldas.

Canada (2007)
by Chris Walton Oct. 10, 2006

Oct. 10, 2006

I have been continuing to track Canadian Daylight Saving Legislation changes. Not much has changed since I posted a summary of new Legislation back in the summer. I have assembled a web page with links to goverment legislation which may (or may not) be useful to some. The web page also includes a list of time zone regions for each province and territory. http://www3.sympatico.ca/c.walton/canada_dst.html Paul E., please don't feel you have to stay awake all night reading it! ################################################################################# I received an e-mail from Tom Lysyk who is the Senior Director of Corporate Affairs for the City of Lloydminster. He stated in his e-mail: "The City of Lloydminster plans to follow Alberta Daylight Saving time. The principle and the practice is as set out in the 'Lloydminster Charter' and will be followed regardless of an amendment. It is very difficult to amend the Charter because it requires an Order-in-Council passed in both Legislatures and when it is not a priority to them, things do not progress very rapidly." ################################################################################# At this point in time I have no updates for the database. We are still waiting to hear from: -Province of Newfoundland & Labrador -Nunavut Territory -Province of Saskatchewan (for the small part of the province that uses DST) ################################################################################# -chris P.S. Many thanks to Paul for adding America/Atikokan and Ameria/Blanc_Sablon in 2006j!

proposed tz changes for Brazil, Jordan, Nicaragua, Serbia & Montenegro
by Paul Eggert Oct. 6, 2006

Oct. 6, 2006

Since we need an update ASAP for the current time stamps in Jordan, here are proposed changes to the tz database to bring us up to date with other changes. Thanks for everyone who contributed, and sorry I got a bit behind in my email! This change affects current time stamps: Jordan will switch to winter time on October 27, not September 29. (Thanks to Hilal Malawi and Steffen Thorsen.) This change affects only future time stamps: Brazil's DST this year is the first Sunday in November to the last Sunday in February. (Thanks to Frederico A. C. Neves.) This change affects only past time stamps: On Sunday Nicaragua switched at 01:00, not 00:00. (Thanks to Jesper Norgaard Welen.) This change affects other indexing data: Serbia has split into two, and now has ISO 3166 codes, so we need a new Zone Europe/Podgorica. (Thanks to Mark Davis.) This change affects only commentary: The CLDR project moved the Windows->Tzid table. --- iso3166.tab 2006/08/21 13:56:09 2006.11 +++ iso3166.tab 2006/10/06 19:42:52 2006.11.0.1 @@ -2,11 +2,11 @@ # # @(#)iso3166.tab 8.2 # -# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-24): +# From Paul Eggert (2006-09-27): # # This file contains a table with the following columns: # 1.

Brazil elections and postponed DST start
by Steffen Thorsen Oct. 4, 2006

Oct. 4, 2006

It is election time in Brazil again, and since it seems that they still cannot handle a time change in the middle of two rounds of election, they are postponing this year's start date to the weekend after the election, 2006-11-05. It appears that the decree is still not published, but that this change is very likely to happen. Source: http://jc.uol.com.br/tvjornal/2006/09/18/not_107666.php (In Portuguese) Auto-translated: It is practically certain that the schedule of summer of this year will start from the zero hour of day 5 of November, in the first turn as weekend after of the elections. Sources of the government had said that already they are finishing the details of the decree that will establish the change in the clocks. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen

These reflect the changes for Uruguay, Palestine, and Egypt circulated last week on the time zone mailing list by Paul Eggert; they also include the (minimalist) changes to zic.8 to clarify "until" information (more changes may follow in this area if there's popular demand). --ado
