 ### Focus issues
 
-We are using a "focus" system to try and move systematically through a
-lot of issues. The idea is that we divide issues into three
-categories, each of which is indicated by a GitHub label:
-
-- [AsyncAwait-Focus] -- issues that we are currently focused on. We
-  try to keep around 3-5 of these at any given time. If these are
-  unassigned, we will try to assign them.
-- [AsyncAwait-OnDeck] -- issues that we might focus on next.  You can
-  [nominate issues](#nominating-issues) yourself to add them to this
-  list, if you like! We typically pick from this list when a focus
-  issue is closed or gets stalled.
-- [AsyncAwait-Other] -- issues that we've looked at and decided not to focus
-  on (yet). We gradually move issues from this pool to the "on deck" pool.
+We always have a set of "focus issues", which are the ones that we are either
+actively fixing or looking for someone to fix. In general, we track our issues
+using a set of ethre labels:
+
+- [AsyncAwait-Triaged] -- the base label, which indicates issues that
+  we've looked at in our meetings. Each meeting we look for [untriaged
+  issues], which are those that are labeled `A-async-await` but which
+  lack the `AsyncAwait-Triaged` label, and try to keep track of them.
+  **To ensure new issues are known to all, this label should only be
+  added during WG triage meetings!**
+- [AsyncAwait-OnDeck] -- this label is added to issues that we might
+  focus on next.  You can [nominate issues](#nominating-issues)
+  yourself to add them to this list, if you like! We typically pick
+  from this list when a focus issue is closed or gets stalled.
+- [AsyncAwait-Focus] -- this label indicates a current focus issue.
+  These issues are typically assigned, but if they are not, it means
+  we'd like someone to pick it up.
