25: Operation of and access to register

You could also call this:

“How the list of information is kept and who can see it”

The register is a list that holds important information. The person in charge of the register, called the Registrar, can decide how to keep it. It might be on a computer or in another way that works well.

You and everyone else should be able to look at the register and find information in it at any time. But sometimes, the Registrar might need to stop people from using it for a while.

The Registrar can say no to letting people use the register, or stop it from working for a bit. This might happen if it’s too hard to let people use it right then. There might also be other reasons written in the rules that say when the register can be stopped.
