Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Since then the world has become "smaller"
and life faster. There is a need to reform the Calendar. Have to make it
simple and globally acceptable. (All past attempts to change failed.)
Here is my proposal to reform the Gregorian Calendar. If accepted,
it can be used from 2019.

day months and one 31 day month. Each quarter has thirteen (7 days)
weeks, that’s 91 days and the total of 364 days a year. (Have to count
the leap years, every 4 years, like in the Gregorian Calendar) This way
will be 1 extra day in regular years and 2 extra days in leap years.Those
days will be saved and in the year they will reach 7, an extra week will be
added to the calendar, called Leap Week. (LW).
Leap week will be at the end of every 5th or 6th year, depending on
when the saved days add up to 7. Here is how to date the Leap Week:
yyyy-00-d. The yyyy for the year, the 00 for LW (Leap Week) and the
d for the day. For example, the date: 2023-00-3 stands for: 2023-LW-3
(Leap Week could be Peace Week worldwide. All hostilities should
stop for 7 days, and the animosities must be replaced with intensive
peace negotiations between the hostile parties. It could lead to peace)
Permanent dates can be set for holidays and all other recurring events.
To celebrate holidays, birthdays*, etc, which are presently on day 31, those
dates have to be changed in January, May, July, August and October.
*Officially the actual birth date should be used.
The International Organization for Standardization, ISO** announced
in 1988 that Monday should be the first day of the week. Presently some
countries are using Monday and some are using Sunday as the first day
of the week. But because the week ends on Sunday (Weekend), at the
same time Sunday can not be also the first day of the following week.
Suggested solution: In New Reform Calendar the week starts Monday.
If accepted, Monday will be first day of the week around the world.

ISO** also recommends using descending dates globally, with this format:
yyyy-mm-dd (years-months-days). For example: 2019-01-01 stands for:
2019-January-1. This is the same way as formatting local time of the
day: hh:mm:ss (hours:minutes:seconds). (Should be considered.)
To use global timing officially worldwide, the 24 hours international
standard timing (00-24h) should be implemented by all countries.
Finally, make life a bit easier by eliminating the daylight saving time
globally. So there will be no artificially set time used in many countries
for about half of the year, and not have to change the clock twice a year.
If the New Reform Calendar is adopted by the United Nations, the world
yyyy-mm-dd (years-months-days). For example: 2019-01-01 stands for:
2019-January-1. This is the same way as formatting local time of the

will have a simple, permanent Calendar to use for centuries to come.

My Personal Note:
The fate of this Calendar Reform will be decided by the United Nations.
(If it ever gets there.) Any country’s representative to the United Nations
can bring up the proposal for discussion. If most of the member count-
ries opinion are favorite, the proposal can be put up for vote and could
be adopted. We need a lot of people to see this site and likely among
them will be a few who, for various reasons, could raise the possibility
for the Reform to become reality. So, I ask for your help. If you like the
proposal, then at the end of this blog click on the link of my facebook

Below is how the present (Gregorian Calendar) will look in 2019 and it will
look different every year after. (At present time in some countries the week
starts on Monday, in others -mostly in the English speaking countries- on
Sunday.) This is the Sunday version of the calendar:
