+### Issue Management
+Opening an issue lets community members participate in the design discussion, 
+makes others aware of work being done, andsets the stage for a fruitful community 
+interaction. A pull request should reference the issue it is addressing. Once the 
+pull request is merged, the issue related to it will also be closed. If there is 
+additional discussion around implemementation the issue may be re-opened. Once 90 days
+have passed with no additional discussion '@lockbot' will permanently lock the issue.
+If additional discussion is desired, or if the pull request doesn't fully address the
+locked issue, please open a new issue referencing the locked issue.
