Description
When I click “Email my nominations to me”, an email is generated and sent to me. In both the subject line and the first line of text in that email, a time is shown, such as:
10:15 p.m.
But those times don’t include a time zone.
Expected: I’d like to see the timestamp either explicitly specify what time zone it’s in, or default to the time zone of the convention.
(It currently seems to be UTC, which isn’t what I would have expected. The deadline for this year is given in Pacific time (in the nomination instructions), so it’s a little difficult to compare the deadline time to the email timestamp. Which isn’t an issue right now, but might be confusing to people when the deadline is impending.)

Research direction
Start by locating the code that generates the nomination email, especially the subject line and first line containing the timestamp. Check how the current time and convention deadline time zones are represented, then define whether the email should display the convention zone or explicitly label the existing zone; done means both timestamp locations are unambiguous.
