Guidelines for creating and editing BG issues and actions in Tracker

Raising Issues and Actions

• New issues and actions should originate in discussions by the group carried out in f2f meetings, conference calls, and the mailing list
• Any BG member can create new issues and actions either on their own or collaboratively, and edit and contribute to existing issues and actions
• Our default product of choice is "Internal Discussion", so please make sure you select "Internal Discussion" for the "product" field when you create a new issue

Assigning an Action to a Person

• The chair assigns actions to BG members

Changing Status of Issues

• The chair can change the status of any issue. An issue owner can change the status of his or her issue only. Tracker has five status modes: Raised, Open, Pending Review, Closed, and Postponed

Creating and Editing Products
