Hi,

I have started to put together a wiki page skeleton outlining the
process to follow when writing a new Security Note (OSSN).  I think it's
far enough along to share.  Any feedback and suggestions would be
appreciated!  The new page is available here:

    https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security/Security_Note_Process

There are a few things that I think need to be added or clarified:

- Do we want to change the numbering scheme?  We've discussed using
something similar to the OSSA numbering scheme (YYYY-XX).  This would be
an improvement over what we currently use (Launchpad bug #).

- When is a CVE needed, and how is CVE filing handled?  Should we
consult with the VMT team and let them make the determination?

Thanks,
-NGK
