In our forthcoming revised Decision Policy[1] we described how different bug resolutions should be used. A few resolutions can be set by anyone, but FIXED, NEEDSINFO, WONTFIX and LATER could only be set by the Editor, with a rationale. Editorial Assistants would work with the Editor of a spec and would be empowered to set NEEDSINFO, WONTFIX and LATER resolutions with appropriate rationale. If we can get a good set of assistants, this should significantly benefit the schedule, since these three resolutions are the most likely to lead to reopening and escalation. Editorial assistants would also be encouraged to resolve WORKSFORME, INVALID and DUPLICATE bugs (which anyone can do), and to adjust bug priorities based on their own judgment and requests from the Working Group. Actual drafting of spec text (and therefore FIXED resolutions) would be left up to the Editor." This role should be added to the Decision Policy. /paulc 50280 1 ayg 2011-06-24 20:13:48 +0000 In particular, all the things like "Editors will give an initial disposition to incoming bugs", "When an Editor gives the initial Editor's response", "it may be appropriate for someone other than the Editor of the relevant draft to resolve the bug" need to be clarified to include Editorial Assistants. 126249 2 lwatson 2016-04-28 07:41:59 +0000 Closed (superceeded by time).
