Not committed by that date.  I guess that leaves the issue of picking
a particular time in a particular time zone, but it doesn't otherwise
seem ambiguous.
 
Picture the New York Subway system.  You're coming down the stairs and
the train is in sight.  You either make it through the doors before
they close, or you don't.  If you don't, you wait for the next train. 
The system would never work if they held up the train for everyone in
sight of the train who hoped to get on to avoid the wait.  Nobody is
throwing their weight around when those doors close; it's just how the
system works.
