Title Request a special majority vote to approve virtio-1.2-csd01 as a Committee Specification
Description
Note: this ballot is not a vote to approve the specification, this ballot is
merely to request a vote.

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:

1. The TC accepts the following editorial changes to the specification,
included in the TC github repository and suggested by Paul Knight:

6f1e1b1 editorial: update S390 Common I/O link
9c5d7ce editorial: use bold for title and headings
e521c5b changelog editorial fixes
9ac6254 ipr: IPR page in github repository is sufficient

9225a97 makehtml: don't force logo size
47ec202 html: update colors
ef05f01 images: update logo
252da89 ipr/title: editorial changes by Paul Knight

The TC agrees that the above changes are all non-material.

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in virtio-v1.2-cs01 and future versions of the
specification.

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

2. The TC agrees to defer addressing the following comments, received
during the public review period, to version 1.3
or later of the specification:

One comment asked for a clarification however the issue has not been
fully clarified. As the affected text was not changed in 1.2
it seems safe to defer the resolution until the issue is clearer.

Clarification of VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX driver conditions.

3.  The TC approves requesting a special majority vote for
advancement of the draft csd01 with above aditorial changes
as a Committee Specification.

This archive includes the editable Tex sources,
specification in PDF and HTML formats, as well as

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

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.
