Clarification on ISO 8601 DateTimes

I am scratching my head over the wording of this instruction in the API docs for Call Logs.

The end datetime for resulting records in (ISO 8601)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601] format including timezone, for example 2016-03-10T18:07:52.534Z

What does it mean, "including timezone" ?? I am using the C# SDK and this is confusing to me.

Are we supposed to include the timezone offset? (-04:00)

If that's the case, the provided example isnt helpful at all

Our time is in UTC. So it simply means that all activities from different time zones will be converted to UTC time. When consuming the data, you can convert it back to the your local time zone like your case -04.
