[yul-naco] Yale policies for NACO independence

[Manon Theroux]

Larry,

I agree that it would be good if the guidelines 
explicitly mentioned reporting duplicate NARS, etc.

I think it might belong in the section on 
qualitative standards. Something to the effect of 
"If the reviewee reports duplicate authority 
records encountered in the LC/NAF, or other 
authority record errors, the reviewer should 
interpret this as additional evidence that the 
cataloger is developing the qualitative expertise 
needed to function as an independent NACO contributor."

If the error is something that the reviewee can 
fix (e.g. adding a date to a 4xx to eliminate a 
conflict with a 1xx in another record), then the 
record update would be eligible towards the quantitative count.
