by EL MAAYATI Afaf March 22, 2023

March 22, 2023

Dear Paul, I'm Afaf EL MAAYATI from National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency in Morocco. Actually, in the current version of Time Zone Database (https://www.iana.org/time-zones) for Africa region, and especially for Morocco, it’s mentionned that a program will be running to implement the transition dates. According to this program, the next transition dates (during 2023) are as below : - March 19, 2023 (switching to GMT). - April 30, 2023 (switching back to GMT+1). In fact, we will switch back to GMT+1, advancing 60 minutes, on Sunday, April 23 at 2:00 a.m (not on April 30). Please refer to the official annoncement, published by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform: https://www.mmsp.gov.ma/fr/actualites/passage-%C3%A0-l%E2%80%99heure-gmt-%C… So, would you please update the program, in order to consider « April 23 at 2:00 a.m » (for switching back to GMT+1). Thank you in advance for your feedback and for your habitual support. Thank you.

Maryland bill status
by Arthur David Olson March 21, 2023

March 21, 2023

Crossover day has come and gone in the Maryland state legislature; bills not passed by one of the two chambers by crossover face substantial hurdles in gaining approval. Neither the House-side nor the Senate-side bills shifting Maryland to permanent DST (with the potential for a short-notice shift) made it out of committee. Links to bill status below. My guess: the bill (it's actually the same bill, cross-filed) will be back next year.-( @dashdashado https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb0165?ys=2023rs https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/sb0268?ys=2023rs

How Time Zones Are Coordinated
by Kim Davies March 15, 2023

March 15, 2023

Yesterday we posted a short article that gives a primer on this project: https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/how-time-zones-are-coordinated-13-03… It is also being circulated to attendees to our major conference being held in Mexico this week. An objective in posting this is to better raise awareness with policy makers to plan time zone rule changes well in advance so that changes can be thoroughly disseminated. There are many government representatives from around the world at this Mexico meeting so hopefully this can contribute to spreading the word. kim
