First amendment proposal:
SECTION I. CITATION
…1.1. This Act shall be known and cited as “The Standard Date Time Act”.
SECTION II. DEFINITIONS
…2.1. For the purposes of this Act, “TEP Forums” is outlined as “The East Pacific’s official forum” in The Regional Services and Securty Act.
SECTION III. OFFICIAL TIME STANDARD
…3.1. The official timezone for the East Pacific shall be Universal Coordinated Time, also known by the abbreviation UTC.
…3.2. The official date format for the East Pacific shall be the “Discourse standard”, defined as YYYY-MM-DD.
…3.3. All date-timestamps posted on the TEP Forums used to define legal deadlines must use the Discourse-native “date” code functionality.
SECTION IV. EXEMPTIONS
…4.1. The provisions of this Act do not preclude or prevent the usage of any other timezone or date-time measurement system for non-official purposes.
SECTION V. ENACTMENT
…5.1. Upon enactment of this Act, the Standard Time Act shall be repealed in it’s entirety.
APPENDIX A - EXAMPLE OF COMPLIANT DATE & TIME CODES
Individual date & time: [date=2023-02-07 time=11:30:00 format="LLLL z" timezone="UTC"][date-range from=2023-01-07T11:30:00 to=2023-01-07T11:30:00 format="LLLL z" timezone="UTC"]
Instead of the example being 2023-02-07, can it be 2003-10-30? 10/30 is the Day of Confederation. I know it’s super minor and frivolous but I don’t want us to just have a random date in there.
Also 3.3.1 mentions Appendix A, which doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
I understand this is for formatting standards, but these aren’t major things so im not sure they merit another amendment
Is there a particular reason why the Appendix showing example Discourse date-codes is removed?

I didn’t notice I omitted that. My mistake. I added it back in.
I also cut out the lengthy section explaining DD-MM-YYYY.
