[Nml-wg] Procedural clarification

[Freek Dijkstra]

Hi Jason,

> I tried to provide some comments in these issues.  Thanks;

Thanks again. I noted that you put in the comment "This issue should be
updated with the discussion from the mailing list"

You are absolutely right, and I volunteer for the task to clean up the
tracker items and copy & paste relevant comments that have gone on the
mailing list.

Jeroen already provided a great start listing the issues, and we are
well aware that the discussions indeed need to be copied in still.

For tomorrow's call only these four items are on the table
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6537 - Implicit relations
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6545 - serialCompoundLink
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6550 - source/sink Relations
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6542 - VLAN

And these three are in working group last call:
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6534 - Case
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6539 - Inbound/Outbound Ports
 https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6538 - Verbs in relation-names

My plan is to use the following status for each artifact:
- New -- just entered, need proposal or discussion
- Need proposal -- waiting for volunteer to write proposal(s)
- Under discussion -- raise your voice
- Need documentation - waiting for volunteer
- Completed -- it is in the documentation
- Rejected -- No volunteers can be found; may be reopened later

I don't want a formal state machine (discussion can become before or
after a proposal depending on how things go), but mostly I do want to
streamline the process a bit. I have not added a "working group last
call" status. Perhaps that's useful.

I just changed the available statuses in the tracker, but have not
updated the individual artifacts. I'll do so later.

Let me know if this is helpful or not.

Regards,
Freek
