Should the TC accept changes listed in the description to resolve issue VIRTIO-161, for inclusion in specification version(s) "virtio 1.1 cs01", and future versions of the specification?

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following.
If you disagree, please vote No.
If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain.

I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
VIRTIO-161: virtqueue numbering incorrect for virtio-net
--------------------------------------
VIRTIO-84 changed numbering for virtio-net virtqueue pairs to start at 1 instead of 0. However, the numbering for the last pair and the controlq was not changed (for N=1, we don't have queues at positions 4 and 5).
--------------------------------------

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
Switch to N-1 in numbering.

[PATCH v2] virtio-net: fix virtqueue numbering error

receiveq(n) is at position 2(n-1), not 2n. Same error for transmitq(n)
and controlq.

Updated patch: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/201707/msg00005.html
--------------------------------------

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio 1.1 cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
