This is a wonderful start, Aaron :) I would just add that right now the process is very much focused on quantitative research processes but it would be important to also imagine how this might fit into a qualitative / ethnographic research approaches as well. Permission processes should perhaps ask researchers to specify which methods they're using. Recruiting 10-20 editors over the course of a few months through wiki mail or on talk pages, for example, will look very different from large scale random sampling of editors across specific criteria.
