I disagree with Manoj wrt the level of formality required for maintaining the policy document.
I think we should have one or several policy editors who will produce a reasonable procedure to ensure that everyone is aware of discussions and their status. The editors would act as document editors do in the IETF, and make changes to the document when rough consensus was achieved. The Technical Committee (which is currently awaiting me to check up on its mailing lists) will handle disputes which cannot be sorted out by discussion. I don't think we need to have a formal process for ensuring that amendments are tracked etc. If the policy editors don't do a good job then the Technical Committee can overrule them, or in extremis decide in favour of someone else's request to take them over. The editors should probably used shared CVS or something if there are more than one. Ian.
