How the IETF defines policy. It has become an ambiguous word which no longer has a meaning used by those in the identify management arena or with an application of service. It has so many meanings that it really has no meaning...

A policy is generally considered to be a set of procedures put in place to be activated under certain circumstances. Contrast this with its opposite, which is acting on a case-by-case basis.
