If we schedule the IMAT session in a US time zone, DST will change on March 14. The meeting schedulers will need to remember to correct for this.

I would support that.
It would help if we also embedded a link to:

(with appropriate parametric adjustments)

I think that the "attendance summary" report consolidates results per calendar month, over multiple sessions, so it seems that IMAT could generate attendance reports without a manual merge. We might want to confirm that this would provide all the necessary stats.
