On October 3, 2019, the United States and the United Kingdom entered into a first-of-its-kind executive agreement under the CLOUD Act. The text of the agreement was released on October 7, 2019.
For a fine overview of the provisions of the agreement, Jennifer Daskal and Peter Swire posted a summary on Lawfare, identifying some surprising provisions and others that fall a little flat.

As we explain in our ABOUT we continue rollout of a collaboration platform for our cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993. We are now drilling into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability statutes. Every state will be approached with sensitivity to its culture, governance regime, asset-base and network of expertise.
Standards Michigan will remain the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Kentucky will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters. Please send [email protected] a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest for #SmartCampus standards action in the State of Kentucky.
