No opposed. No abstain. Motion passes. AI: Dave update bug note for SVDB 161. + Top-N Issues Appropriate for SV-BC Process: Identify -=N=- issues to focus committee effort Assign owners for the issues Owners bring issues to vote when draft of proposal complete Rebuttal to issues should come in the form of specific changes to proposal Guidelines for issues: - Group would prefer not to address issues that complicate merging of the LRMs or require edits to both specs. 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. Futher refinements to the process include: - 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 witll 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.
