Hi,

What is meant in general is that the State of Palestine (the Palestinian government) is the only authorized one to address the international bodies, including IANA, to request any amendment, update, registration, or anything else related to the subject, or to publish any official decisions regarding the time Zone of the State of Palestine.

Best regards ,

Hi,

The competence of the PSI to issue this Standard is not in doubt.

I am unclear about a couple of things, in relation to this (IANA, Olson) TZ project.

I believe your "Fundamental Principles #4" refers to the current TZ database.
Pont #6 refers to the Palestinian Government as the "Publisher". Do you plan to publish or re-publish the TZ database? Or only a separate one?
On Structure, point #1 is unobjectionable.
Point #2 states that the "State of Palestine" has the "sole right to set, modify, and register the ... Database". Which Database is this? The IANA one or the one PSI will publish, or re-publish?
