[ncc-services-wg] personal data in the NCC

  Jim,
I don't know - but as I remember one of the basic principle of this law 
regarding transborder personal data transfer-
such data can be transfered only to countries which comply some 
requirements
(as to have comparable laws and so on).
We simply should get legal answer before to discuss.
