Policies of the Society are of several types and sources:
*[[BoardPolicies]] Policies — set and amended by the Board
*Committee Policies — set and amended by each Committee, subject to confirmation by the Board
*[[Sub-Groups|Sub-GroupPolicies]] Policies — set and amended by each Sub-Group*[[ConsulsConsular Policies]] Policies — set and amended by the Consuls, but applicable only to topics not addressed by others
Policies are not [[Procedures]]. The latter are set by Consuls and by each Committee and Sub-Group as needed. They may be overruled by Board action, and it is customary to inform the Board of their adoption and significant amendments. Procedures are listed under the individual committees or sub-groups they apply to, and no effort has (yet) been made to create a consolidated list of them.
