Pre-Decision Steps

Draft documents may need to go through several rounds of review by legal counsel and others before taking any draft policies or procedures to decisionmakers. Each organization’s legal counsel should be consulted at this time, and questions or objections raised by any organization’s counsel should be addressed in house or among organization members, as necessary.

It may be necessary for the stakeholders to review and negotiate revisions based on legal counsel review. Some degree of compromise may be required of the stakeholders, but every comment should be addressed.
