@amsichani This is just after the clocks change in the UK. Without wishing to doubt you, has that been factored in?

Good catch! We always fail to realize until a few minutes before the call. Time doesn't change in the US till November 3rd. Mexico would have already changed it, I think Colombia's doesn't change, and Chile...changed it in early Sept

[amsichani]

So from what I can see, our original time slots are still valid @jenniferisasi ? how about EST?

[amsichani]

[drjwbaker]

Sorry, will do now.

If you keep London time as time reference (which is fine), only the original times for your side of the team are valid (3pm Brit, 4pm central). For those of us in the US, we have to +1 h to the original times. So it's 10AM in Central time (showed with Austin, TX), 11AM for East time (in Pittsburg, PA); it will be 12PM for Riva.
