Explain the proposed rule (Aug 28, 2026) and timeline, then provide a focused, actionable checklist: (1) update CRM/passport-validity fields and automated flags; (2) rework deposit and payment milestone templates for reduced renewal lead times; (3) refresh client advisory copy and automated reminder cadences; (4) change staff SLAs, escalation matrices and training for document verification; (5) monitor country rollout and adapt operations by market; (6) productize last‑minute international offers while protecting margins; (7) audit supplier contract language for documentation requirements; (8) run a 30/60/90 rollout plan to deploy changes.
