Thanks for putting this together, Martha, it looks like a great start.
One set of use cases that I'm particularly curious about are how
addresses should be handled.  For example, does it suffice for most of
the libraries in the IG to have the batch import handle one address
per patron? Do any of you get mailing address data from any place
other than the student and staff information systems?  Are any of you
in a position to not have to worry about keeping student mailing
addresses in the ILS at all?

Regards,

Galen
