Some time we approve a policy that originated as global policy and it serves a local need which had not been originally anticipated.  However as Douglas pointed out this policy remains a global policy with an expectation that other regions will approve the same.  The current situation is what happens if one region rejects the policy ?   If this happens, it looses the global classification, but in simple terms we do not seem to have a mechanism in place to handle this scenario.  

From your view if the policy serves a community purpose then it would be logical that it is resubmitted as a regional policy and voted on.  

We just need to agree what amendment is needed on the PDP.
