<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Believe me I appreciate all of the work
done on this.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However, my appreciation of the work
and effort does not change the legal ramifications. Nor does it lessen
the attention by the plant manager regional directors, production VPs,
the CEO and the board. I have tried to explain the process to them and
illustrate that ultimate responsibility lies with the Chilean government,
However they all get glassy eyed, when I start talking International standards.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My true frustration is with the Chilean
Ministry of Energy and the Chilean government as a whole (I love the country
and have enjoyed all of my trips there). I have expressed and requested
that my company express our displeasure with how this process works.</font>

The other point is that governments announce TZ changes with anywhere from
a year or two lead time, to negative lead time. A day or two is quite
common. So, realistically, timezone database changes, whether "official"
or prereleases, will often appear after the fact. Such things are
the fault of the respective governments, not of the TZ workers.<br>
