Well, the issue here is that UTC, of course, does not have that funky 'daylight-saving' thing... so if you pick UTC then you will have to ask for a vote like this 2twice a year for the foreseable future... Note: you can announce the time in UTC but still have an agreement that the time is _based_ on a CET time... so that you won;t have to do a vote for a 'change' twice a year. Norbert
