prevent revisiting topics unnecessarily. Our issues list provides a mechanism for tracking those
discussions and their outcome.

Issues will be labeled by the Chairs as either `editorial` or `design`:
Some issues might be labeled as `editorial`; they can be dealt with by the editor(s) without
consensus or notification. Typically, any discussion will take place on the issue itself.

* **Design** issues require discussion and consensus in the Working Group. This discussion can happen both in the issue and on the [Working Group mailing list](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/), as outlined below.
Otherwise, the `open` issues in the issues list are those that we are currently or plan to discuss.
When an issue is `closed`, it implies that the issue's proposed resolution is reflected in the
draft; if a closed issue is labeled with `has-consensus`, it means that the incorporated resolution
has Working Group consensus.

Issues can be discussed on the mailing list or the issues list. The editors can also propose resolutions to issues for the group's consideration by incorporating them into the draft(s).

When a design issue is `closed`, it implies that the issue's proposed resolution is reflected in

When a new draft is published, the issues that have been closed since the last draft will be
highlighted on the mailing list, to aid reviewers. Once consensus is confirmed, those issues will
be labeled with `has-consensus`.

Design issues can be discussed on the mailing list or the issues list. The editors can also propose resolutions to design issues for the group's consideration by incorporating them into the draft(s).

Note that whether or not a design issue is closed does **not** reflect consensus of the Working Group; an issue's `open`/`closed` state is only used to organise our discussions. If you have a question or problem with an issue in the `closed` state, please comment on it (either in the issues list or mailing list), and we'll adjust its state accordingly. Note that reopening issues with `has-consensus` requires new information.
