How to write a policy summary
PURPOSE
A policy summary helps readers understand key points without replacing the official policy.
INCLUDE
Summarize who the policy applies to, what is required, what is prohibited, exceptions, and where to find the official policy.
BE CAREFUL
Do not change meaning, add unofficial rules, or omit important limitations.
LINK TO SOURCE
Always reference the authoritative policy location when available.
BEST PRACTICE
A summary should make policy easier to understand, not easier to misunderstand.
