The Policy Development Working Group co-Chairs usually send a report 
to request ratification of a policy proposal.  The policy proposal is 
added to the agenda for the next Board meeting.

There are at least two steps in the above which are dependant on 
other parties.  Those steps would have to be completed, assuming that 
the above is correct, before the matter reaches the Board.
