As I stated in my earlier post, this is exactly what is needed.
In particular 3)What the issues are (not requiring the reading, in
the first instance, of large documents)
Even better if these could be in a central repository (wiki?
socialtext?).

Dear Community:
FYI, let there be no doubt that we are aware that the current way that
information on policy reviews and processes is presented is very
difficult to navigate.
In particular, I have told the other staff that the point we need to
get to with the presentation of this information is that the Individual
Internet User community should be able to find, in 15 minutes, online:
1) What policies are being reviewed;
2) How the policy development processes work;
3) What the issues are (not requiring the reading, in the first
instance, of large documents)
4) How to participate
We are all aware that we are not at this point, and I am sure that new
and candidate ALSes must find it difficult to get to the bottom of what
is happening.
At the same time, I know that there are many in the community who are
particularly knowledgeable about where given areas of policy
development are currently at.
Would it be possible to ask the older hands to provide a short intro to
where things are, with (if possible) a few links for those interested
to get further information?
