Shibboleth Developers

[Nathan Dors <>]

Are actual policies driving the development of these capabilities? 
(See also MAMS Autograph.) That is, policies that say users must 
be given the chance to control release of their information? Or is 
this more a philosophy of transparency?

In a medium-large community like UWash, some users may want these 
controls, others will be annoyed by the extra step. Maybe the 
right direction therefore involves some amount of user preference?

Unless, of course, there really *are* policies that say they've 
got to see and accept the privacy implications of continuing to 
the SP.
