Group would prefer to address more isolated errata until next PAR is set. - Try to clarify intent of some issues even if no formal resolution. This would be useful for keeping implementations consistent. - Major Severity will be used to identify issues that if not addressed will lead to visibly different implementations. - Group will use severity to quantify impact of change. Issues will be addressed in order of severity. - Priority will indicate issue's development progress. Increase in priority indicates increased progress to proposal and vote. 'Immediate' priority indicates issue is ready for a vote. - Individuals will indicate ownership of resolution by adding themselves to the 'assigned to' field. Karen will help anyone who cannot update an issue. - Individual members can increase the severity of an issue but the group must agree to decrease severity. - Status Filed: Assigned, Resolved & Closed are key states.
