If you are not, I both apologize and ask if you can direct this to the right person. I would like to report that the Light Time Saving estimates for Brazil are incorrect. The new correct time savings for this year are - begin 08 Oct 2000 00:00:00 - end 18 Feb 2001 00:00:00 Unfortunaly, it is not clear if the 2nd weekend of September will be the official beginning for consequent years. The same applies for the end date. Therefore, I would advise maintaining the actual policy, yet adding this year's information. By the way, no states were removed or added in this latest decree. --- southamerica Fri Apr 7 01:20:30 2000 +++ /tmp/southamerica Sun Oct 1 02:02:25 2000 @@ -353,6 +353,10 @@ # and are quite possibly wrong, but are more likely than no DST at all.

Unfortunaly, it is not clear if the 2nd weekend of September will be the official beginning for consequent years. The same applies for the end date.
Do you mean the 2nd weekend (or less ambiguously, the 2nd Sunday) of _October_, and the 3rd weekend (Sunday) of February?

Exactly. Simplifying: begin: 8/10/2000 - 2nd weekend of October (Sunday) end: 18/02/2001 - 3rd weekend of February (Sunday) This probably has to do with our national elections for governors. We had the 1st turn this the 1st weekend of October (Sunday). And, we don't want ppl missing the election because of time savings change. :)
