## Notes
- Final spec vote: 107 votes cast (beyond the 75 required for quorum). The OIDF will post a press release of the final results once they have a stable url for the file. Omri is working with Mark Haine to do the last PR for this file.
- New co-chairs for the committee: Gerry and Omri are stepping down, and Allan/Sean have been silent co-chairs. So, there are four candidates that have put their names forward to become co-chairs with David B.
