D10.6 “Initial Report on EPOS Policies and Governance for FAIR and EOSC” describes the work done towards ensuring clear policies are in place with the governance to provide assurance. It builds on MS66. In this deliverable we therefore describe the EPOS policies and associated governance. It should be noted that a new Policy Group has been set up within EPOS to review policies, provide policies where missing, propose appropriate governance and commission IT support.
