After the merger is requested, the Profile Mgrs for the profiles (in this case yourself for Iddings-200 and Rosa Lane for Iddings-172) will review the merit of the suggested merge and if acceptable to merge, will give their approval. The 2nd approving profile manager will then be tasked with actually performing the merge and doing any post merge consolidation/cleanup needed. Subsequent to the merge, the profile manager(s) of the two profiles will now be co-managers of the consolidated profile and have shared responsibility to watch out for the profile.
