Great! :) this is excellent to see. Everyone; when I helped put together these policies it was a matter of urgency to be ready for the fundraiser. So as Katherine notes there is likely to be a lot we can change and improve on. We filled a gap as it was required, and now have more time to get them right.
The more input on these the better they will be!
