Ha!  But seriously, even as a publicity stunt that might shed useful 
light on the persistent problem.

Another idea would be to translate Matt Johnson's excellent summary 
and analysis 
(http://codeofmatt.com/2016/04/23/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes) 
into the official languages of all the governments on earth and place 
them at http://www.iana.org/time-zones/changes.

With Matt's permission of course.

A one page summary targeted to politicians, sensitive to their 
incredibly short attention span, might be useful as well.
