Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Editorial

Reported by: Kenneth Duffill <kenduffill@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2021-04-09
Held by: Erik Kline (IESG)

Section: 6

Original Text
-------------
202,939,144

Corrected Text
--------------
202,934,144

Notes
-----
In Figure 4 The Era Offset of 1 Jan 1 has a typo.

The value of 202,939,144 for the Era Offset of 1 Jan 1 should be 202,934,144 because 1 Jan 0 has an Era Offset of 171,311,744 and there are 366 days in year 0, therefore the Era Offset for 1 Jan 1 should be 86400 * 366 (= 31,622,400) greater than that for 1 JAN 0.
