Steve provided an overview of meta-issues
- Different projects use different terms – agreement to use Meta issue
- Suggestion to use Github template for the meta issues
  - Steve will create a template for META issues
- Consider using templates for the different profiles
Labels
- suggest “profile licensing” - ok'd by Steve
- suggest “profile base” - ok'd by William
- suggest “profile security” - ok'd by Thomas
- Kate will add some additional profile labels
No meta issue for security for now – will use labels
William will look at a meta-profile
