Forgive me for coming in late - What exactly is the time frame for the change... can we repost the projected change/addition? -------------------- It looks as though Shanks placed it at LMT prior to 1928, 5.5 for Kasgar and 6 for Urumchi through 1940 and 5 for Kashgar beginning in 1940 with Urumchi remaining at 6 through April, 1980 when both became synchronized. Something in the notes suggests a 1/3 hour difference that I may have missed. -----Original Message----- From: Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] [mailto:olsona@dc37a.nci.nih.gov] Sent: Sunday, December 06, 2009 1:25 PM To: 'tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov' Subject: Re: Xinjiang Given the note about how "putting ethnic labels on the time zones may be somewhat divisive in an already very unhappy and divisive time," can someone come up with a better approach to the Xinjiang situation than the "first pass" sent out on the list last month? I'll hold off on making any changes until we have something better. --ado
