Notes, Issues and Constraints
- Within the UK, the epTID attribute value is NOT considered to be "personal information". Some felt that is was an aggressive position, advantageous to the campuses.

- Within the US, we expect different institutions will adopt a variety of policies on this issue. It might be useful to test this idea with the Dept of Edu.
- EPPN's re-assignability makes it somewhat problematic as a permanent identifier. However, its value seems to be a function of the application. epTID works fine with RefWorks; EPPN works better with a wiki (even with re-assignability). What do we preach to developers? EPPN is "collaboration friendly" --friendly to the user, friendly to others.
- At some institutions, people don't know how to obtain their value for this attribute.
