I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #156: virtio-net: Fix introductory description
--------------------------------------
Problem statement:

Control VQ of virtio net device is used for three very different things.
This includes
(a) steering controls,
(b) offload controls
(c) notification coalescing controls

However old description was not updated, which indicates only (a) as the role of CVQ.

Additionally, virtio net device introduction around CVQ and otherwise is very simple.  Describe the packet send/receive bit better along with the SQ/RQ enqueue/dequeue operation.

Proposal:
Update the documentation to reflect the generic nature of cvq for dynamic changes, rather than individual items.

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202302/msg00308.html
--------------------------------------

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.3-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.
