Summary

The committee established that draft documents will show context in blue, proposed changes in red, and that drafts, after committee review, will be sent for public input unless constrained by legal/fiduciary requirements.

A committee member asked that drafts include blue text to explain context and rationale and red text to highlight proposed changes so reviewers can quickly see intent and edits; the chair and others agreed. The committee agreed that context notes would remain while drafts are in committee and redlined changes would be visible to reviewers.

Members further clarified that if a draft is not based on legal, fiduciary, or legislative requirements and the policy committee has completed its review, the document will be sent out for public input where stakeholder comments will be reviewed. "The proposed changes will be added to the document in red," one speaker stated, emphasizing clarity for public reviewers.
