It must be created by a government organization.
Reason: Public policy is any purposeful action or inaction taken by government (legislative, executive, or administrative). It does not have to be a law (it can be a regulation, program, or decision) nor must it enforce itself, and while it typically affects the public, the defining trait is that it originates from government.
