The other thing it's probably worth doing, both in the OSU and MCNC cases but 
also in any survey, is asking people not only whether they have such a policy 
in place but whether there would be any *consequences* to allowing that 
policy to apply to an arbitrary SP which didn't happen to belong to an 
InCommon member.  In other words, to what extent membership of InCommon 
actually makes a difference to the attributes you're prepared to release.

The more privacy-sensitive IdPs over here don't tend to release much to all 
comers at all, but I'm interested to know whether that's behaviour spurred by 
the EU regulatory environment or something more general.
