Step 2, 4 or 6 is picked based on categorization in this step. The initial categorization to 1, 2 or 3 can happen outside of the calls but issues that need thorough analysis and refinement would typically in a meeting.
-  1. **Step 2:** The issue is identified to have Use Case relevant content where a deeper understanding is needed. **Step 3:** It is moved to the Use Cases repository.
-  2. **Step 4:** The issue is created by the Use Cases TF. **Step 5:** The TD TF analyzes it, which can result in smaller issues, more description etc. This is also reflected in the sorting table. Note that this is closely related with the [Use Cases Process](https://github.com/w3c/wot-usecases/blob/main/Process.md) where the result of the gap analysis and feature definition are the inputs to this point.
-  3. **Step 6:** The issue is identified to be handled by the TF alone. These are issues about tooling, editorial fixes, etc. The TF labels it and moves it to the relevant column in the sorting table.
-- Note: During the refinement of an issue (understanding, labeling) in step 5 or step 6, it is placed in a column in the sorting table based on the category. Categories such as `bindings`, `data mapping`, `tooling`, which are [work items](https://github.com/w3c/wot/blob/main/planning/ThingDescription/work-items.md) (big topics), are separate a columns. Categories such as `editorial`, `bug` are grouped in one column called `other`.
-- **Step 7:** The issue is assigned to one or more persons based on who is most suited, has more motivation etc. but not based on their availability.
-- **Step 8:** Based on people's availabilities and priorities set by the TF and WG as a whole, the issue is moved to "in progress". This indicates that this issue is being addressed by one or more persons and is part of the agenda until resolved.

-- **Step 9:** The result of the work happens in a Pull Request to the Editor's Draft. It can be merged asynchronously based on the agreement in the [WG Policy](https://github.com/w3c/wot/blob/main/policies/async-decision.md). Once it is merged, it is part of the Editor's Draft.
-- **Step 10:** Based on the nature of the change , it can require implementations to demonstrate implementability.
-  - **Step 12:** If the change is an RFC assertion, we need to show its implementability before it can be in the final REC.
