Julie reported on business conducted during the September Tri-annuals in Indianapolis. She showed the Board of Directors what the license renewal form looks like this year and asked them to alert their office. The renewal form looks like a solicitation and could easily be thrown away.

The Board reviewed what policy should be followed when the Broker Reciprocity database is compromised. Motion passed with phone vote to have the MLS notify all vendors of a password change to the data server.

The shared service task force submitted their recommendation for shared service with Northeastern Indiana MLS. Motion passed with phone vote to proceed with the proposal as submitted.

Julie referred the Board to a proposed motion submitted by a Participant suggesting a change to the MLS by-laws. This proposed motion redefined who would be eligible to vote on issues currently handled by Participants. The motion will be presented at the Participant’s meeting on Thursday October 21, 2004 at 9:30 a.m. The Board attorney advised the two motions being voted on at Thursday’s Participant meeting could be addressed separately. He felt one proposal addressed who is eligible to vote and the other addressed the quorum necessary to vote. No action taken.

Julie reported the Board office sent letters to members, and their Principal Broker, who needed to complete the NAR mandated Code of Ethics training by the end of the year. Board Attorney, Jim McCaslin advised the Board we would have to suspend the privileges of members who did not comply with this mandate but privileges could be reinstated immediately upon proof of course completion.
