- Motion to set this as a Committee Specification Draft.

for Committee Specification Public Review Draft, advise
stakeholders and other associated work.
After the changes from this meeting are committed, use it as the start
of the formal specification draft.
Rusty proposes Pawel, Cornelia, Michael, and himself as the editors.
Accept - Rusty
Second - Pawel
No objections  7. Any other business.
Michael mentions two suggestions Rusty listed an earlier email:
1) We should unconditionally recommend resetting the device as
First step.  It's good practice.
2) We should not suggest that notifications occur in the
no-free-descriptor case.  It's bad advice, and only helps with
Buggy hosts.
Accept - Rusty
Second - Michael
No objections
Virtio 45 - Timer/clock device
Rusty says this is a good idea and welcomes a patch, but it can come
in a later revision.  8. Confirmation of meeting schedule.
Next meeting will be in 4 weeks.
