A. The global data was QCed at NatureServe prior to conversion from Central BCD so that it would convert cleanly. You will receive the cleaned-up data at your next data exchange. Therefore, QC of the global data (such as EGR, ES, xCAG) in your system is not mandatory. You will still convert it, but the small number of fields with invalid data will fail conversion and be null.
