How many InCommon sites will my institution show up in?

[Erdos, Marlena]

Hi all,

As Harvard moves toward putting up an IdP -- and getting ourselves put
into the InCommon metadata -- one question that has arisen is "how many
SPs will list  'Harvard University' as a Discovery/WAYF option
automatically?" 

We've noticed that some SPs (e.g. HathtiTrust and the DMP Tool) want IdPs
to go through a distinct on-boarding procedure.

Which is the more general case: automatic-boarding or explicit
on-boarding?   Or is there no general case? :-)

Thanks so much!
