Francis_Storr: Goal, build off previous work
… "The goal is to further explore the ideas of issue severity in context, and of defining issue severity at a test level."

ShawnT: AGWG discussions about issue severity, test level, anyone going against that approach?

sarahhorton we're at a crossroads where we can look at the feedback we've got. we could assess and see if we need to reset, or we can just say let's keep going down the path we're on
… if this group has a hesitation on moving down the path, we should reset. where are we as a group?
… the direction where I think we're going is to pick up where we left off with looking at issue severity at the test level
… this is impacted at the user's context and how do we account for that?

Azlan: Fair bit of room within scope, further explore ideas, leaves space to work in
… goal is pretty clear, a lot of work gone into where we are
… no cause for concern with what's there in goal statement
