Interpretation of Probability

100%	Certain to be implemented. (In case of 100% agreement on a policy, then by definition, there would be no public policy issue.)
60%-99%	Likely to be implemented.
40%-59%	Uncertain. Likely to continue being disputed without resolution.
1%-39%	Unlikely to be implemented. Most likely to be killed as a proposal.
0%	Never will be implemented. (In case of 0% support of a proposal, there is no public policy issue.)
