	ICANN \| Guidelines for the Implementation of Internationalized Domain Names, Version 1.0
		The Guidelines are supported by the.cn,.info,.jp,.org, and.tw registries, which have committed to abide by these Guidelines in their IDN operations.
		In accord with Guideline 1, a registry may not by exception permit code points that are prohibited by the IDN standards.
		Note to Guideline 3: Under Guideline 3, every internationalized-domain-name registration will be associated with a language or set of languages for the purpose of identifying a registry-established set of registration and administration rules (a “registration ruleset”) that applies to the registration.

	GUIDELINES FOR DESIGNING USER INTERFACE SOFTWARE : Introduction
		Guidelines can help establish rules for coordinating individual design contributions, can help to make design decisions just once rather than leaving them to be made over and over again by individual designers, can help to define detailed design requirements and to evaluate user interface software in comparison with those requirements.
		The guidelines proposed here are generally worded in terms of the functions that a user must perform, and the functional capabilities that a designer should provide, rather than the particular physical devices that might be used to implement those functions.
		Guidelines are worded as simply as possible, usually in general terms to permit broad application, but sometimes with contingent phrasing intended to define a more limited scope of application.

	Centre for Health Evidence
		Because the guideline is based largely on observational studies, the recommendations are relatively weak, and would be categorized as C1 in the schema we present in Table 3.
		Guideline developers should consider the possibility that the effect of a management option on an outcome, or the relative value of different outcomes, is much greater, or much less, than their best estimate.
		Guidelines may be disseminated to assist physicians with clinical decision making (for example, clinical algorithms and reminders), to enable evaluation of physician practices (for example, utilization review, quality assurance), or to set limits on physician choices (for example, recertification, reimbursement).

	Foresight Guidelines on Molecular Nanotechnology
		The Guidelines take the position that the safest and most responsible path is to enact reasonable technology-specific controls at the practitioner, industry, and governmental levels, and simultaneously develop the monitoring and counter measures to control potentially rogue or offensive use of the technology.
		The Guidelines are intended to cover most of the risks associated with normal development and use of the technology, and to mitigate, as much as possible, the risks associated with potential abuse of the technology.
		Neil Jacobstein rewrote the Guidelines as a form of self assessment scorecards for version 4.0, based on the observation that this kind of self assessment is becoming a standard part of quality and six sigma programs in industry and government.

	1992 HORIZONTAL MERGER GUIDELINES
		The 1992 Horizontal Merger Guidelines accomplish this objective and also clarify certain aspects of the Merger Guidelines that proved to be ambiguous or were interpreted by observers in ways that were inconsistent with the actual policy of the agencies.
		Although the Guidelines should improve the predictability of the Agency's merger enforcement policy, it is not possible to remove the exercise of judgment from the evaluation of mergers under the antitrust laws.
		The Guidelines are designed primarily to articulate the analytical framework the Agency applies in determining whether a merger is likely substantially to lessen competition, not to describe how the Agency will conduct the litigation of cases that it decides to bring.

	Geocaching Listing Requirements/Guidelines (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Geocaching is a constantly changing and evolving sport, and as a result these guidelines are subject to change as the sport progresses.
		This is an arbitrary distance and is just a guideline, but the ultimate goal is to reduce the number of caches hidden in a particular area and to reduce confusion that might otherwise result when one cache is found while looking for another.
		It is not uncommon for areas to be cleared, trails to be blocked or closed, objects used for multi-cache or puzzles to be moved or removed, etc. You must be able to react to negative cache logs and investigate the location quickly.

	Archived: Secretary's Statement on Religious Expression
		The purpose of promulgating these presidential guidelines was to end much of the confusion regarding religious expression in our nation's public schools that had developed over more than thirty years since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1962 regarding state sponsored school prayer.
		The guidelines we are releasing today are the same as originally issued in 1995, except that changes have been made in the sections on religious excusals and student garb to reflect the Supreme Court decision in Boerne v.
		In issuing these revised guidelines I encourage every school district to make sure that principals, teachers, students and parents are familiar with their content.
