Hello, policy wonks. Has the possibility of adopting a policy organization system standard ever been discussed? If so, what was the outcome?
For example, Joshua's Cornell policies are organized into eight categories, or volumes<http://www.dfa.cornell.edu/treasurer/policyoffice/policies/volumes/index.cfm>. Michelle's UM policies are organized into either Governance or six categories of Administrative<http://policy.umn.edu/Policies/index.htm>. My institution is looking at creating/adopting a policy organization system, and would be interested to know if there is a policy organization system standard, similar to how libraries adopted one of two organization system standards<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Dewey_and_Library_of_Congress_subject_classification> for library books. I normally ask replies on the listserv be sent to me only so as to not clog everyone's inbox, but this one might be good for public discussion. Thanks for your considerations in this matter.
