* From 2012 to 2014, the State Parties searched for further solutions on transborder access to data. From 2015 to 2017, a working group focused on Cloud Evidence. They adopted a set of recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of mutual assistance and Guidance Note on Article 18, which explains how domestic production orders for subscriber information can be issued to a domestic provider irrespective of data location and to providers offering a service on the territory of a Party.

# Additional tools for mutual assistance; and
# Data protection and other rule of law safeguards.
The Second Additional Protocol also provides for law enforcement in a requesting country to obtain domain name registration information directly from an entity in another country without going through the mutual legal assistance process. In response to a valid request, the entity providing domain name registration services is expected to provide the relevant information in the entity’s possession or control.<ref>[https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/7d16c267-7f1f-11ec-8c40-01aa75ed71a1/language-en EC study on DNS Abuse, pg 110]</ref>
