I've read two posts in this mailing list regarding Venezuela's change to a new timezone. I feel compelled to clarify the following: * The change is not decided yet. The proposal is coming from a department and involves ammending an act, so it has to be passed to the National Assembly. * In any case, it's not scheduled to happen on 2008. The head of department said it could happen on September 2007, as we begin school terms in that month. Again, it depends on legislative approval. * The currently used meridian is 60º W, in the most eastern part of the country. The new meridian will be 66º, crossing the town of Río Chico, at the middle of the country, so it's expected that the new timezone will be at UTC-0430. In any case, I'd be happy to know what's the standard process on announcing modifications to the public domain timezone database. Jose
Hi All, I was reviewing the Australasia time zone table. What I notice is that into this link: http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Daylight-Saving-Index... it is stated: ______________ "From this year, Daylight Saving will run for a period of 27 weeks. It now commences from the last Sunday in September, when 2.00am becomes 3.00am, and ends on the first Sunday in April the following year, when 3.00am becomes 2.00am. Instead into the Australasia table : Rule NZ 2008 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 S instead of 3:00 ... so can please someone told me at what time is supposed to start the April DST on New Zealand? Thanks Donatella Sabellico !

"when 3.00am becomes 2.00am" it obviously means that 03:00 summer time turns into 02:00 standard time (which is correct). In the TZ data, the authors of that rule chose to use "2:00s" - the "s" indicates standard time, instead of wallclock time. That is, Summer Time ends at 02:00 standard time (which is correct, and also was, very briefly, 03:00 Summer time, just before the change back). | so can please someone told me at what time is supposed to start the April | DST on New Zealand? It is what both of the above say, 02:00 standard time, or 03:00 wallclock time - but of course, that's when summer time ends, not when it starts (Australia and NZ are in the Southern Hemisphere after all, it is summer in January, not July...) kre
