Obviously these were  issues that were going to happen if there was a new federation regardless, so I hope there's some forethought there.

Yes and yes, as per the very thread you commented in:


the offer to transfer any Active player originally born in the new Federation as an exceptional transfer

- the automatic transfer of Independent Russia players to the new Federation. These players will be not be considered "locked" players until after the S79 IIHF Tournament and may choose to transfer out to another Federation using the transfer rules of the IIHF.
