I'd start from a position that Public Policy is what's expressed in laws 
and treaties, whereas operational policy is founded in standards 
documents and contracts (and including Acceptable-Use Policies and Best 
Practices). The overlaps starts when someone says "hey - let's have a 
law or treaty that says this technical standard or contract term is 
compulsory".
