Ben / all – it seems we (still) have inconsistent announcements.
www.ieee802.org says just the date without a time zone,
http://802world.org/plenary/ says UTC. We discussed this on the February 1 call, but I don’t see a motion. From the minutes (ec-22-0029-00-00EC) : Rosdahl inquired about what time zone should be used in messaging about meetings and asked for feedback from the group.
Straw Poll: Preference for time zone for noting with registration fees
• UTC: 5 • AoE: 8 • No Preference: 2 While we work hard to make sure no one is going to be disenfranchised, it would be helpful to minimize those who fall in the gray zone, as it is currently announced – hence the reminder. -george From: ***** IEEE 802 Executive Committee List ***** <STDS-802-SEC@listserv.ieee.org>
On Behalf Of Benjamin Rolfe I agree with Geoff it SHOULD be AoE. However it's been on the registration page since January as UTC. So there's been lots of time for people to see it.
We should use AoE in the furure, as this is the only way to avoid time zone bias and be fully inclusive.
Ben From: ***** IEEE 802 Executive Committee List ***** <STDS-802-SEC@listserv.ieee.org> on behalf of Geoff Thompson <thompson@IEEE.ORG> George- How did this happen? I am under the impression that the EC passed a motion some years ago that all 802 actions (as opposed to IEEE actions) that have a calendar closing date of the format mm/dd/yyyy
AOE. I believe we should honor all registrations in that 12 hour period at the lower rate. It is precisely because of this sort of confusion and inconvenience with quoting calendar closing dates that we adopted AoE.

All – just a reminder, per the plenary announcement (http://802world.org/plenary/) the meeting
fee increases Friday at 11:59PM UTC, not AoE. I was just on a call where a number of individuals thought it was AoE, so you may wish to remind your groups not to wait until the last minute. Additionally, I can report we currently have almost 850 registrants for the March meeting, and climbing.
