[[dido:99_annexes:annex-d-requirements:part-01:start|Return to Part 1 Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:policy_and_release_plane|Policy and Release Plane]] SHALL support policy-governed release without requiring all protected information to pass through a single central policy mechanism.

===== Source =====

Part 1, Section 13.5: Runtime Plane Requirements.

===== Rationale =====

The Policy and Release Plane supports governed release across distributed Nodes, authorities, and jurisdictions. A single central policy mechanism creates architectural concentration and conflicts with distributed governance, sovereignty, residency, and resilience concerns.

This requirement preserves distributed policy-governed release at the conceptual level and allows later logical realization through multiple policy enforcement, decision, administration, information, obligation, release, and audit capabilities.

===== Applies To =====

This requirement applies to Policy and Release Plane definitions and references within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

  * Policy-governed release
  * Protected information
  * Distributed policy mechanisms
  * Sovereignty and residency concerns
  * Release governance

===== Verification =====

Verification SHALL confirm that the Policy and Release Plane supports policy-governed release without requiring all protected information to pass through a single central policy mechanism.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

  * Policy-governed release does not require a single central mechanism
  * Protected information handling supports distributed governance
  * Policy and Release Plane descriptions preserve distributed policy concepts
  * Later logical profiles support distributed policy capabilities without redefining the conceptual plane
