EDITORIAL QUESTIONS
What must the story answer?
- Is there a named government notification, order or restriction?
- Which operative provision gives the record legal relevance?
- Does commentary distinguish processing location from transfer status?
TOPIC DESK / Operations
Cross-border processing
Track actual government notifications rather than assuming a transfer list.
