Drummond Reed Andor 

Andor raised issue #37 for us to figure out the set of labels we want to use for organizing and prioritizing our work on GitHub issues. The thread so far has arrived at this list (see the thread for more details):

• priority-1
• priority-2
• priority-3
• defer-to-V2
• editorial
• substantial
• correction
• needs-special-group
• needs-proposal
• needs-PR
• PR-exists
• last-call-to-close

Is this list complete? Any revisions or additions?

ACTION: Add label for "needs-editor-review".

ACTION: Editors (Drummond Reed volunteered) to update the GitHub Issues Management wiki page to include: a) this revised list of labels, b) a table explaining how each label ties into the process, c) more detail about the Editor role, including managing issue assignments, d) the Maintainer role.

ACTION: Andor volunteered to implement the set of labels in issue #37.

Andor posted the following two issues so we can start moving forward at speed with issues processing:

• #45: Decide roles and provide permissions - TODO: editors to come up with a list of proposed permissions - work with Elisa Trevino for rights
• #40: Merge process discussion - Whats the process and who can merge? 

  @wenjing suggested break out: Editor and Maintainer.

  Antti:

  • Maintainer decides what goes into which version. Own the document/published version.
  • Someone needs to decide who goes into the release.

  Abbie:

  • Lead editor.

  Drummond:

  • No formal role of lead editor but someone would step up.

ACTION:  Christine Martin and/or Drummond Reed to create an #tswg-tech-arch-editors channel on Slack.
