But I also feel like if there’s no timezone for a deadline then you should assume the worst case (which here would be UTC) and make sure you submit before?
The author left it so late that in 95% of the world it was no longer the 17th Feb.
I agree with the author: the timezone of the organisation is what I'd expect.
The worst _reasonable_ case is UTC. Nobody is thinking UTC+14.

If the job was a local office job, I’d expect a local time zone. But the board of directors isn’t restricted to California or even the USA.
So it can be reasonably inferred that they’re generally using GMT/UTC in the rest of their timeline, rather than AOE, UTC+14 or anything else out of the ordinary.
