I want to come in on the connection piece and tie it in to the mass data piece. Can the mass data piece be used to uphold the connection piece? There may be large families that have to flee from places and set up in different countries. If there is a mass database that identifies a person as having a family connection in the UK or France could that be used to add to the criteria, rather than a connection that is more grounded in the person themselves? We can start mapping families across countries so what exactly are the criteria for connection? Could one family member in a country be used as part of that argument for a safe third country?
