Policy 01-00: Policy interpretation and application (new policy)

We drafted a new policy on policy interpretation and application to incorporate well-established practices and existing legal concepts directly into policy, including:

  • foundational concepts
  • retroactive vs prospective application of policy
  • how dates are applied
  • previous versions and rescinded policy

Review our draft policy and provide your feedback.

The posting is open for comment until September 29, 2025.
