This document was created by the TIMEZONE Technical Committee of the Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium. It contains information about common time zone implementation issues and recommendations on how to resolve these issues. We first justify the need for time zones, then we identify time zone implementation problems, and then offer some guidelines and recommendations. Take note that the listed recommendations often describe what vendors are currently doing to solve the problems.
