Questions and expectations
Expectation 1—issue area: Because they are seen as less of a threat, ONGOs working on less contentious issues should be registered in more provinces
Expectation 2—local connections: Because they are explicitly focused on local issues, ONGOs with local connections should be registered in fewer provinces
Expectation 3—registration timing: Because formal registration can take a long time and can involve many bureaucratic hurdles, ONGOs that registered soon after the law took effect should be be (1) less of a threat and (2) a higher priority for processing, and so should be registered in more provinces
