Thanks, I'm forwarding this to the tz mailing list so that the OIC is archived. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [tz] [IANA #1173666] Time zone change - Yukon Canada Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:00:25 -0700 From: Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis(a)SystematicSw.ab.ca> Reply-To: Brian.Inglis(a)SystematicSw.ab.ca Organization: Systematic Software To: Andrew.Smith(a)gov.yk.ca CC: Paul Eggert <eggert(a)cs.ucla.edu>, Tim Parenti <tim(a)timtimeonline.com> Hi Andrew, Thanks very much for following up on those and getting back to me: I have an interest in these Canadian laws and orders and been digging on Yukon and other sites a number of times. I realize that unfortunately many of these laws and orders are short documents that could easily be missed stuck to others in files, or during scanning, and lost to posterity, or may turn up unexpectedly elsewhere at some later date. I will add this OIC to my personal archive of Canadian and Yukon tz history and pass it along to the tz maintainers who may publish it on the public repositories. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada [PMed to maintainers as received off-list - hope you guys don't mind? Please credit Andrew for any publication.] On 2020-11-24 10:57, Andrew.Smith(a)gov.yk.ca wrote: > Hi Brian - > Following up on this now that the dust has settles in Yukon. > I have attached OIC 1980-02. > My legislative colleagues have let me know that they do not have a copy of CO 1966-20 available in their records (it may be archived deep in the stacks or lost in the intervening half-century). > > Be well. > > Andrew G.

What's "right"?
by Paul Gilmartin Nov. 17, 2020

Nov. 17, 2020

Hello, TZ, In: ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tz-link.html I read: The tz code and data support leap seconds via an optional "right" configuration, ... Empirically, this seems to assume time_t of TAI-10. This isn't GPS, which I understand to be TAI-19: http://www.bipm.org/utils/en/pdf/time_ann_rep/Time_annual_report_2015/25_ut… TAI-10 is (accidentally?) the epoch of the IBM z/OS TOD clock. I find a couple references to "zoneinfo/right" in Makefile and NEWS. Is there more complete documentation of "right" and its rationale elsewhere? Thanks, gil

Yukon time - Google contact?
by Andrew.Smith＠gov.yk.ca Nov. 2, 2020

Nov. 2, 2020

Hi all. Is there anyone from Google on the list, or has a Google contact for time? I tried getting in touch with their Canada offices earlier, but they didn't get back to me. Yukon is on our new time now, but some Google services are showing us incorrectly on Pacific Standard Time. Google Home and Chrome specifically are showing that, Android is displaying correctly. Thanks. Hope this is the biggest hiccup we see up here. [cid:image001.png@01D6B07D.A5900CD0] Andrew G.
