[governance] Time to change direction [ @ 17:47 GMT ]

[Rui Correia]

Hi Yehuda

Just a small observation - "the earth’s axial tilt puts it the
fartherest from the sun", should read "the earth’s axial tilt puts THE
NORTH POLE the farthest from the sun". (Conversely, the South Pole
will reach its closest point to the sun.
