IFATCA identified the need for a policy by addressing the requirements of an ATFM system, present and future.
IFATCA Policy is:
IFATCA supports the implementation of an ATFM service provided that:
- Air Traffic Controllers are involved in the 
design of their local procedures and the determination of strategic and operational capacity.
- The communication between and the compatibility of all relevant systems is established.
- The ATFM service is transparent to all stakeholders.
- Procedures are in place to allow controllers to report occasions where they 
felt overloaded or sector capacity values were exceeded. Feedback should be given to the reporting controller.
- A Flow Management Position (FMP) is established to ensure appropriate coordination between ATFM units and ATC units.
