Can anyone help an ignorant European?  Given a meeting time of 12:00
Noon ET [sic] on Sunday 10th March 2013, what is that in UTC?  Daylight
saving will have started by then in the USA but not in Europe so the
scope for being an hour late or an hour early is much increased.

So in this interesting discussion of UTC, Martin has actually made an
excellent point.  Having UTC listings for the agenda would be very
helpful, or an alternative agenda showing UTC.
