Comment :  ... [7,
Vol II §2.6.1, §2.6.2, §2.6.5, §2.6.6].

Upon review of these sections, it is unclear how the standards have defined an “Access Control Policy” or “Access Control Measures” — neither technical term appears in the provided glossary.  

One section [7, Vol II
§2.6.1] implies that an Access Control Policy consists of “features” and “capabilities.” A different section [7, Vol I §6.2] implies that an Access Control Policy is the system’s access control matrix’s initial state.
