Intelligence Community Policy Memorandums

Intelligence Community Policy Memorandums (ICPMs) are used to provide policy direction to the IC prior to formal issuance of an Intelligence Community Directive (ICD). ICPMs are also used to define policy on an expedited basis. An ICPM may reflect a new policy or a revision to an existing policy. All ICPMs contain the following language: "The content of this policy shall be incorporated into an Intelligence Community Directive." Each ICPM is assigned a number that incorporates the year, the topical series number, and a sequential number, e.g., 2005-100-1, 2005-100-2. The DNI or, in the DNI's absence, the PDDNI, approves all ICPMs.
