+<dd><p>Editors will give an initial disposition to incoming bugs. When
+an editor gives the initial editor's response, he or she should
+include the following:</p>
+
 <ul>
 <li>A change in bug status to RESOLVED.</li>
 <li>A clear statement of whether the comment was accepted or rejected.</li>
 <li>A rationale for the change or lack of change (at least enough for the Disposition of Comments).</li>

+<li><p>Boilerplate text advising the commenter how to indicate their
+reply and escalate if desired. The following boilerplate text is
+suggested:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
+satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
+you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please
+reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
+Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
+title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue
+yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:</p>
+   http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html
+
+Status: (Accepted|Partially Accepted|Rejected|Additional Information Needed)
+Change Description: (descrption of spec change if any)
+Rationale: (rationale)
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>For any responses that involve a spec change a link to the relevant
+spec diffs should also be provied.</p>
+</li>
 </ul>
 
+<p>For some particular bug resolutions, a full Editor's Response is
+not necessary, and it may be appropriate for someone other than the
+editor of the relevant draft to resolve the bug. The table below
+documents the bug resolutions, and expectations for each:</p>
+
+<table id="bug-resolutions">
+<tr><th>Resolution</th><th>Description</th></tr>
+<tr><td>FIXED</td><td>Accepted or partially accepted. Spec was
+changed. Editor's resolution and diff link are required. Rationale
+should explain the reason for accepting the comment. It may simply
+cite agreement with arguments in a previous bug comment.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>WORKSFORME</td><td>Accepted, but no spec change. The spec already
+addresses the comment due to a previous change. Editor's response
+required, but the rationale just needs to point to the previous change
+or existing spec text that addresses the comment. A resolution may be
+entered by someone other than the editor if they can explain why the
+spec already addresses the issue.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>NEEDSINFO</td><td>Additional information is required to accept
+or reject this comment. Editor's response required. Editor should be
+clear on what additional info is required. It is strongly recommended
+that bug reporters should provide the requested additional
+information, if the request is reasonable, before they consider
+escalating.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>WONTFIX</td><td>Rejected. Editor's response
+required. Rationale should explain why the comment was rejected.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>LATER</td><td>Rejected, but may be reconsidered for a future
+version. Editor's response required. Rationale should explain why this
+request is better handled in a future version.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>REMIND</td><td>Do not use this resolution.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>INVALID</td><td>Bug is obvious junk or spam. Does not require a full editor's
+response.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>DUPLICATE</td><td>Bug is the same issue as another bug. Does not require a full
+editor's response.</td></tr>
