Overview:
 
The Practical Policy WG solicits policies that are used to manage data centers, with the goal of sharing 
practical examples.  A survey of production policies indicated that the highest priority policies are related 
to integrity, preservation, access control, data management plans, provenance, publication, replication, 
and data staging. In the session, a schedule for selecting representative policies and completing 
deliverables will be developed.  Participation by any sites managing data is welcome.
