Currently, the [[Delegation of Authority Policy]] does not authorize members of the chapter to publish documents under the chapter's name without specific prior Board approval.

The proposal above grants general authority to the President to approve statements of public policy for distribution, and delegates responsibility to the Public Policy chair the authority to make edits to a specified statement before its publication in some specified venue (e.g. comments on a Federal Register call for comments). We anticipate that the President would know the substantive policy statement by the Committee before delegating this authorization. The public policy committee has existed for two (?) years and has a record of making statements that are appropriate and in-bounds.
