Meaning of tracker status values

The document trackers are setup as follows:

• Open --- the issue has been proposed by a member but not yet accepted by the WG.
• Pending --- the issue has been accepted and is still pending resolution by the WG.
• Resolved --- The WG has decided and accepted a resolution, but the actions are still pending
• Fixed --- The editor has completed the proposed actions, but the actions are awaiting verification.
• Closed --- The issue has been resolved and is reflected in the work products of the WG. The completion of the changes must be reported by the primary editor and verified by the secondary editor (or other WG member).
• Deferred --- The WG has decided that the issue has some merit but that it should not be addressed in the upcoming revision of the spec.

Issues that have not been accepted are moved to Closed with an appropriate comment. Issues that have been Deferred are moved to the next version tracker (or marked appropriately in the Category field).

A typical workflow would be Open -> Pending -> Resolved -> Fixed -> Closed
