Hi Michael,
The ballot looks fine and I see that you listed all the changes in the ballot so everything is there.
If you would fill out the request for a Committee Spec vote at https://www.oasis-open.org/resources/tc-admin-requests/committee-specification-ballot-request , that will get it on my list of things to do.
Thanks,
/chet

OK Ballot is now done, as expected 6 voting members voted yes,
no one abstained and no one voted no.
You can find the ballot under the virtio TC group
https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/virtio/ballot.php?id=2660
Please confirm all is now in order to start the Special Maj Vote process.
Thanks!
