The open consultation published on 9 October proposes an annex setting out how licensees should redact published documents. It is intended to make redactions consistent and properly justified across applications and publications.

The proposed framework aims to preserve enough transparency for readers to understand the basis for decisions while protecting sensitive or confidential material and meeting legal obligations. It is not yet a final policy; responses are due by 6 November 2026.
