Hi Maren,



Among the search results for "white paper" here's what I found:



A white paper is an authoritative guide that discusses issues on a certain subject, along with a proposed solution for handling them. The term, “white paper”, came about after the government color-coded reports to indicate who could access them, with the color white referring to public access.



So maybe … "Public Access Report"?

Any suggestions for a phrase to use instead of “white paper”? Right now we have “a high-level analysis of the contents of a bylaw that supports housing choice”. Kinda wordy for me, hoping you have alternative suggestions…..

Thank you,

Maren
