[a]Need revision

[b]Needs a caveat to show National ministries that they need to review local copyright law, and may need to register copyright, for it to be valid.

[c]Lets look into why these dates. What should we put here for a generic country template

[d]Should this be included for other national ministries?

[e]Need to train National Ministries that they do need ensure that they get licenses for IP used on the site.

[f]Do we want to set this as a healthy standard everywhere, or just include it where legally required?

[g]This should probably be reviewed for local laws?

[h]should we edit this to say its 13 in the US, but may be different in other countries?

[i]@ashley.miguel@cru.org

[j]I'll do some quick research on other countries' threshold for age. But that edit sounds good to me.

[k]Is there any harm in including things like this, even for countries that don't do this activity (and are unlikely to in the near future)?

[l]This is a US specific law. You should check to see if you have local laws...

[m]Needs to be updated.

[n]Insert local jrisdiction

[o]this needs attention
