Title: [Guidelines] Clarify if Section 7 on defining new policy attachment mechanisms is necessary

Description: Section 7 in the Guidelines document currently discusses guidelines for authoring new policy attachment mechanisms [1].  These guidelines are not relevant to policy assertion authors.  Does the working group plan on providing guidance on creating new policy attachment mechanisms?  If no, then this section should be removed.  If yes, then this section needs to be reviewed for completeness.

Justification: The Guidelines doc is specific to policy assertion authors.  Providing guidance on creating new attachment mechanisms seems like a lower priority.

Target: Guidelines for Policy Assertion Authors

Proposal: Remove Section 7.
