This document outlines a proposed guidance on developing guidance documents. It would define the process for creating and revising guidance documents, including establishing competencies, drafting steps, adoption procedures, and application dates. The guidance aims to improve quality, usefulness, and transparency by clarifying roles, avoiding duplication, and communicating the process to authorities and stakeholders. A stepwise approach is recommended that identifies needs, produces concept papers, allows for discussion and adoption, and publishes the final documents.
