The subject of this discussion are questions on "open problems" on MO. There is an existing policy on "open problems" reproduced from the (old) FAQs, which involves an open-problem tag.

The motivation for starting this discussion are comments on said post, various users have expressed concerns related to the existing policy or at least the way it is described. This description is now also somewhat more visible as it essentially became (and naturally so) the description of the open-problem tag.

Answers could take the form of approving what we currently have, basically approving but suggesting minor modifications, suggesting major changes, and so on.

This concerns primarily the description of the policy, but discussion on how things are or should be handled in practise are also welcome.
