[Aaron Zeckoski]

That pretty much sounds like the process we have discussed before so
this approach seems fine to me.

As a relative newbie to the Evaluations group, I'm a bit unclear on what the process is for merging enhancements to trunk. There seems to be a fair amount of similarity between this group and the OSP group (broad base of institutions with broad range of evaluation use cases), so I wonder if we should leverage their general process if one doesn't already exist?

There seems to be interest beyond Michigan on this change, but we'll still make this an "optional" new feature, so that the default behavior is not changed. Thoughts?
