Good afternoon, Hope you are doing well. We find out that our e-commerce platform uses the information about regions from IANA. There is Asia/Tbilisi, it should be Georgia/Tbilisi. Can you please change it? Thank you in advance, Maria Classification: Official [cid:image001.jpg@01D9FAAF.CC4D9E80] MARIA MKRTICHIANI PROJECT MANAGER UGT LTD 17a Chavchavadze Avenue, 0179, Tbilisi, Georgia T. +995 32 222 05 05 M. +995 579 991 951 | Maria.mkrtichiani@ugt.ge<mailto:Maria.mkrtichiani@ugt.ge> | www.ugt.ge<http://www.ugt.ge/> ________________________________ This email and attachments may contain confidential information and/or copyright material.

Good evening, Maria, In the IANA database, time zones are normally named by continent followed by a city, not by a country. So, for example, my time zone is Europe/London, not UK/London. So "Asia" is correct. I hope this explanation helps. Yours, Clive D.W. Feather

Good evening, Maria,

In particular, this means that the IANA time zone database entry names are *not* an appropriate data source to determine the country in which a city resides. If your e-commerce platform is doing that, it needs to be fixed to use a better source for that information.
