Dear Task Force Participants,

Here are the ballot results:

Voters	229

These returns resulted in the following metrics:

Abstention Rate   4.79%

 

The ballot was valid as it met the requirements for response rate ( >=50% ) and abstention rate ( < 30% ). Also, the necessary approval rating has been maintained ( >=75% ).  I would like to thank everyone for all of their hard work on this WG ballot.
