I'd think ideally it would show up at the time of the reorg - that just as
the org would retool application access, physical office locations,
badging/access controls, and even the org chart, that someone would raise
the question with regards to records ownership. After all, the former
owning department still has to service some portion of its
customers/constituents/etc. the day after the reorg - or someone else does.
Either way it seems to me that there'd be a presumptive line of ownership
that should be made explicit as part of the process.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but this seems like part of the basic
planning package, and if it isn't, it should be.
