Regulator and authority directory
A practitioner moving between Zug and Singapore deals with two dozen public bodies and a dozen private ones whose names recur throughout this book. The directory describes each by what it does in relation to digital assets, which questions it answers and how one approaches it. It omits postal addresses, telephone numbers and the names of officials, because those change and because every body listed maintains a website with current contact details. The emphasis is on approach: whom to write to, whether a pre-meeting is available, what the body expects in a first contact and what it will not do. Those are the things a website does not say and a newcomer learns at the cost of months.
The directory is arranged by jurisdiction and, within each, by function: supervision, tax, criminal enforcement, registration, courts and dispute resolution, self-regulation and industry. A closing table lists the bodies side by side with their nearest counterpart in the other hub, which is the comparison clients most often ask for when they have dealt with one and must now deal with the other.
