RE: [xri] Ballot for extension of public review period

["Wachob, Gabe" <gwachob@visa.com>]

Despite the date the ballot was created, this was NOT an April Fool's
joke and we really do need to get enough votes to "call this election"
as early as possible. So if you have not yet voted, please do so. 

THANKS
