<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi All,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I understand that but my understanding
also , is that it is possible that there will not be any further confirmations
and that the government of Egypt can apply it still. Meanwhile , IBM team
advised that they are awaiting for the IANA time zone database update.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The dates expected seem to be
matching the methodology usually followed.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If there is a test database (Unable
to access the link by the way) , is it possible to release it officially?I
appreciate that it may be double the work at your end in IANA if the government
does not go for it but some time will be needed IBM end and then at our
end for applying the fix.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think it may be better if the database
is released officially , fixes are prepared and then it is left to people
in Egypt to either apply it if the decision is applied by the government
or to drop it if not. This will enforce different parties to repeat the
work as i mentioned but it could help avoiding impacts and it will anyway
give better time for planning i think.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Let me know.Thanks.<br>
</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>> There is some uncertainty about the Egypt change<br>
<br>
Agreed, as I previously mentioned. However, please be informed that
here at Microsoft we have decided to go ahead with this change - despite
the uncertainty. This was a difficult decision, which was made after
much deliberation with our representatives in Egypt. This will be included
in the June time zone update for Microsoft Windows, on June 14th.<br>
<br>
IMHO, it would be good if there were a similar 2016e release of TZDB around
the same time. Though I think we could all feel more comfortable
if the government would publish a formal decree. There is still no
mention of it at </font></tt><a href=http://www.cc.gov.eg/Legislations/Egypt_Legislations.aspx><tt><font size=2>http://www.cc.gov.eg/Legislations/Egypt_Legislations.aspx</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br>
