+<h4>Use of github issues</h4>
+Note: according to the virtio TC rules, all official TC communication
+is taking place on one of the TC mailing lists.
+In particular, all comments must be provided on
+one of the TC mailing lists. Accordingly, the TC will not respond
+to comments provided in github issues: github issues are
+used solely to track integration of comments into the
+specification.<p>
+To request a TC vote on resolving a specific comment:
+<ol>
+<li>Create a github issue, or edit an existing issue, with
+a short summary of the comment.
+The issue MUST specify
+the link to the latest proposal in the TC mailing list
+archives. <em>Note:</em> the link MUST be in the issue description itself -
+<em>not</em> in the comments.</li>
+<li>Reply by email to the comment email, requesting that the TC vote
+on resolving the issue.
+The mail requesting the vote should include the following, on a line by itself:<br>
+<code>
+Fixes: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/NNN
+</code>
+(NNN is the issue number)</li>
+<li>Please make sure to allow time for review between posting a comment
+and asking for a vote. </li>
+</ol>
