RE: dxwg-ACTION-302: Request chairs to identify procedure for closing issues about requirement definitions and urge ucr team to consolidate and close such issues as appropriate.

Hi Karen, Peter, (addressing the chairs...)

No I don't have a definitive list but I think the issues Rob points to can give a feeling of which kind of issues we're talking about.

When we reviewed the open issues tagged 'profile-negotiation' (oldest first) [1] we found that many of the older issues are about discussion of use cases and requirements where we by now probably have reached consensus on how to phrase them and that have found their way into the UCR document.

The problem with those issues are that they clutter the view and make it hard to figure out what to work on (at least for me) since it's unclear exactly what action is required.

Is there a procedure/protocol for closing such issues?

I can see two ways forward:
1) we remove the labels for the deliverables (e.g. 'dcat', 'profile-guidance' etc.) from those UCR-related issues so that they don't pop up when we search for issues relating to a specific deliverable. (Con: we lose track of which of those requirements relate to which deliverable unless that's already in the UCR document).
2) We close all of those issues where we have reach consensus on the text _and_ that text is in the UCR document.

What do you think?
