Speaking for myself, Till may detail further later.

The wiki, https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2021_Bid_Process, links
to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth which seems to
suggest yes, it can be sent in the end of the last time zone.  The
presence of that link may be a copy/paste holdover from previous
years.

Generally, I think things should be sent in before the last minute
(this allows for emails to be stuck in the moderation queue, the
hosting center to lose connection, file sizes too big, etc) but
everyone can use their own judgement.

Also, the deadline is to keep the process moving, not to
qualify/disqualify bids.  Send it in before 23:59 and we don't have to
deliberate if a 00:00 or 00:01 qualifies.

Those are my thoughts.

Best regards, Eli
