+
+        Applies policy to entities sourced from eduGAIN.
+
+        Entities may be transformed by policy, or marked as being in error.
+
+        Entities with errors are NOT removed here, so that this policy can be
+        used in contexts where reporting is more appropriate than just removal.
+
+        This is not the only policy applied to entities sourced from
+        eduGAIN, but that may change over time.
+
+        This policy is partially derived from Incommon's Interfederation
+        policy.
+
+        Rule number references are to the Interfederation Technical Policy
+        pages on the Internet2 wiki. There are two versions:
+
+        * Interfederation Technical Policy Development
+            * at https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/ugDABg
+            * documents the expected *next* deployment
+            * updated as changes are made in the master branch
+            * use this if you want to cross-reference numbers against
+              the development tooling
+
+        * Interfederation Technical Policy
+            * at https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/TgCNBQ
