[sakai2-tcc] Lazy consensus proposal on CLE upgrade information survey

[Neal Caidin]

I guess having a date for the decision to be made wouldn't be a bad thing.

How about lazy consensus decision by Friday, Feb 8, close of business on Eastern standard time, as the crow flys?

As I was going through the process to think about it's inclusion, it occured to me that it would be important to know Why an institution chooses to upgrade with a particular frequency. It also occured to me that there might not be a set frequency that is used for each upgrade and upgrade timing might vary based on a number of factors. For these reasons, it seems to me like this kind of information might be best gathered by talking with the schools directly or some other means.
