+## Key questions:
+1. What's the governance for accepting new entities
+2. What's the governance for merging and splitting existing entities
+3. If there is a merge or split how will changed entity ids propogate
+4. While DataMade can commit to supporting the service we are not going to make our full stack of dedupe.io open source
+is this a problem
+5. What type of entities are in scope--probably start with people.
