Issue Submission Guidelines
An issue contains three sections: title, scope, and recommendation. Someone reading your issue should understand what the problem is, why it is a problem, and what would fix the problem.
Title:
The issue title is a short summary of the issue. It is not a sentence. Example: “Tuition Assistance for Overseas Spouses” NOT “Spouses Overseas Have Limited Access to Scholarships”
Scope:
The scope is a clear and concise paragraph about the issue. The scope identifies one problem, not several. It is three or four sentences in length. The first sentence states the problem; the middle sentences provide facts or additional information; and the last sentence says why the issue is important.
Recommendation:
Recommendations tell what you want to hear—the end product that will resolve the issue. Recommendations start with a strong action verb (Strong verbs: provide, conduct, develop, build, fund; weak verbs: consider, ensure). Each recommendation must relate to the problem identified in the scope. If recommendations address a different topic, then submit another issue paper.
