Gah. You're right, on all counts. The time change would make the meeting
an hour *earlier* not an hour later, and last year we *did* change it in
winter to 1600 UTC. I was referring to the Wiki page which doesn't
mention this; maybe we should update it.

So following last year's precedent, let's do the meeting at 1600 UTC
until the clocks change again. I'll send out an updated meeting
announcement. Thanks!
