Greetings,
Do you know of groups (other than the Palestinians) that have decided to
use THEIR OWN DST dates, independent of their surrounding country? I am
interested in both past and present.
I am in discussions right now with a gentleman named Carl D. Goldin,
about the observance of Daylight Saving Time in the world. He has
pointed out that if I list the Palestinians on a web site about DST,
that it is only fair to list other non-country entities. I included
information from Amos Shapir in the TZ archive about Palestine.

I don't think this has ever com up on the list, and I have skimmed the
TZ archives.
