> Slack should offer a configurable notification that could contain other contact methods to the banned user. Slack could also give those users at least sth like 48 hours to inform their contacts about what is going to happen. And it could offer banned users a downloadable archive of all content created to make sure no data is lost.

At least in the case of Iran my understanding was that there was a political declaration to withdraw from the Nuclear Deal and impose sanctions, but not immediately. So business did have the opportunity to prepare a transition.
