Our Industry is Perplexed
• Uncertain economy and weak real estate markets
• MLS’ debate the merits of consolidation, revenue streams, data ownership and their ‘true role’
• Real estate brokers struggle to survive on narrow margins
• Realtors struggle to earn U.S. median income
• Everybody wants realty data for free
• Innovators want no barriers to innovation
• Thought leaders want their views adopted
• New business models and technologies continue to disrupt (Freemium)
• RETS is not all it could be

But, Some Shortcomings…
• Technology advances faster than a volunteer organization can accommodate
• Progress is directly tied to resources:
– Volunteers members
– Volunteer governance body
– Financial support
• ‘Us’ vs. ‘Them’ impedes progress
• Unmet demands for data ‘types’ and faster, cheaper data updates
![Page 24: RESO REDUX by Travis Wright](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051514/54bd67314a7959be538b457f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Governance & Funding Fell Short, Too
• RESO Governance Structure was proposed but never formally adopted
• 501 (c) 6 Incorporation has not occurred
• Non-binding agreement, used primarily as a governance guide by the BOD
• NAR agreed to fund the budget until other shareholders contributed 50%+
• Other ‘shareholders’ have not arrived
![Page 25: RESO REDUX by Travis Wright](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051514/54bd67314a7959be538b457f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Commercial real estate practitioners
• MLS Executives calling for the ‘complete standard’ of data names and values
• They say: “If RESO can’t, we will!”
• The COVE group of MLS’ has made contributions to the Standard this year
• Perhaps we create synergy with COVE, CMLS and other MLS executives?
• What is the COVE?
