Hi Marlena,

In the last 3-4 years, we've had less than 10 SPs actually list the 
University of Florida IdP in a way that caused support requests or user 
consternation (i.e. listing us without telling us). Typically, we see SP 
and IdP operators use the InCommon metadata's contact information for 
each entity, so they were all resolved in fairly short order.

Hope this helps,

Martin
