Currently there is no easy way to determine what the audience's local time is. A GMT Offset or Local Time field could be a great enhancement to the OpenRTB spec. GMT offset would be preferred, since it could be an integer field that give the difference in minutes between GMT and the audience's local time. Minutes is preferable to hours, since some time zones differ from GMT by not whole numbers of hours.

I agree that this would be useful. It can be inferred from the Geo but it would better done explicitly.

Maybe this issue should be closed now? In openrtb 2.3 in geo object new attribute has appeared:

utcoffset integer Local time as the number +/- of minutes from UTC
