WG Issues RAGs

• Working Group Issues are defined as problems that
  are within the WG scope and will impede the
  progress of the WG and cannot be totally
  resolved, without delaying known milestones, by
  the WG without outside help.
• The outside help will be triggered by a formal
  escalation. Any WG that has one or more
  escalations currently flagged will be deemed to
  be in status Red (shown against time indicator).
  If an issue has the potential to delay a key
  milestone it should raise an Amber status flag,
  but no formal escalation will be raised. Once the
  escalation has been dealt with and appropriate
  guidance given the escalation will be closed and
  the WG status will revert.
• Other WG RAG status influences will be Cost,
  Quality Customer Satisfaction Information, as
  in table below.
