@teidesu then how do you deal with daylight saving time? (you have missed CDT, PDT, MST/MDT etc). Cause having a meeting at noon utc+1 might be confusing when saving time kicks in at different time across the world!
Fun twist: some US states have two timezone, some have counties with DST and those without (ex: Arizona).

@hashar then you can just write whatever timezone abbreviation AND an UTC offset in the brackets afterwards, most of the time meetings are not hold on dst days. It's like 3 seconds for you and sometimes half of an hour for the recipient.

I actually had to send a confirmation email about an exact tz offset a few times because I had zero idea where the person was atm (can be Australia) and there is more then one timezone named "central time".

thanks.
