As a reminder...

An initial ballot that fails is a ballot series of "1". As such this ballot series has been completed. Around 148 voting members who were in the voting pool did not vote. Per our operating rules:

A Voter remains as such provided:
    NOTE – A voter’s status is evaluated at completion of a WG letter ballot series.
[802.11 operations manual, section 7.1.4]

The previous two recent ballots (for P802.11bi/D2.0 and P802.11REVmf/D1.0) are part of ballot series that are still ongoing. The initial ballots passed, and recirculation balloting has not yet been completed. If you have not voted in these ballot series, you will have an opportunity to do so in future ballots.
