Hi Steve, Great suggestions. Thanks. > CLOSED = Chairs, Editors or Working Group believes this issue to be RESOLVED. > > Implies that the an issue can be closed without consensus being > reached. As an issue can be considered resolved by the "editors" > without the working group considering the issue as resolved or > consensus being reached. > > suggest changing to: > > "CLOSED = Chairs, Editors and Working Group believes this issue to be > RESOLVED. " Seems that resolutions are also tracked: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/resolutions If closed = resolved, is the resolutions page needed? Or is the resolutions page to track formal working group decisions derived from survey results? If that is the case maybe consider renaming the resolutions page "decisions"? f.y.i. there is also a "Postponed" state: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/postponed Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L.
