With all of the recent legislation changes regarding daylight savings time flips, sometimes it becomes a real nightmare to figure out the right times at which to assign a global conference call, (unless of course you live somewhere in Central Europe which seems to always get the best deal for meeting
times). I propose we start utilizing a stardate system, based on the current circumferential position and rotation of the earth with respect to the sun and the Big Dipper constellation to assign global meeting times. Surely this would be less confusing.

It's called UCT or GMT, no? |

Above 40 ° N the Big Dipper is visible all night long throughout the year. Portions of it are visible at certain times of the year all the way down to mid-latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. There goes the Aussie, New Zealand, and South African delegates. |

All times are referenced to GMT, so it
would have to be GMT. |

Clever people, those Icels. |

not that I actually have a clue on the idea but... stardates <sigh> |

You wouldn't actually have to view the Big Dipper, just have some predetermined position that it is in at some predetermined lat / long that assigns some arbitrary date code function in some arbitrary Commodore 64 timeserver. |
