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
