I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
VIRTIO-171: "-" as sentence device?
--------------------------------------
In 2.5 Virtqueues, the "-" hyphen appears to be a common precursor to "i.e." and elsewhere in the second sentence of that section. By count there are only seven (7) cases of - i.e.

Given the care taken produce this work, it should not be marred by non-standard English usage such as this.
--------------------------------------

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
Recast the sentences in question to remove the hyphens and elsewhere when improperly used in sentences.

--------------------------------------

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.
