titleMACE-Dir LISTSERV list discussions

The Internet2 MACE-Dir LISTERV list has discussed this attribute in the past and is again discussing it as of Sep 2015. The proposal for an attribute named institutionalUserMailAddress that matches what is described herein was ultimately rejected a few years back by the list membership. That discussion included an additional attributed called institutionalUserMailAddressPrior.

The purpose of the new UH Email Address attribute is to address issues developers are having with the current multi-value attribute. The first occurrence of that attribute might yield the anticipated UH email address, or the first.last UH email address, or, on occasion, a 3rd-party email address.
