Another good find and commentary by Doug Austin, A Time of Discovery – A History of Electronic Disclosure (Part One). I like how he pointed out how the UK’s disclosure rules were updated in the same time frame as our FRCP amendments. Civil litigation and arbitration rules vary wildly by international venue. That was a big shock to me as a young product manager for Symantec being parachuted in to giant EU and APAC implementations of my software. Even back in 2006, their workflows and privacy restrictions were radically different than those I had based the Discovery Accelerator on. Current PM’s and innovators should take the time to read good summaries like these to understand the requirements of international customers.
