The proposed constitution makes the distinction.  In 4.1 "Together,
the Developers may ... issue *nontechnical* policy documents and
statements."  Later in 6.1, "The Technical Committee may decide on any
matter of *technical* policy." (emphasis mine)

Individual developers may propose policy of course, but the only way a
standard resolution can affect policy is if it's being used to
override a decision made by the technical committee.
