Dear R.O.B. Great information and thanks for seperating all the facts and fiction! We have a ways to go… but let's see what it has to offer!

Rob- great summary of the facts- Kudos! However the point that:

"Members who register with a valid NRDS ID can access non-proprietary, non-MLS/CIE sourced data; however, only MLS/CIE Subscribers/Participants will be able to view MLS/CIE sourced information. There will be no public access to the RPR™,"

....is extremely naive. I personally know a dozen REALTORS that hand out their access to www.realtor.org all day long. I don't see entering a NERDS number as being any type of barrier to the public access to the RPR data and RVMs. I encourage everyone involved to consider the serious security issues if the data is truly meant to be kept behind a curtain... and begin constructing a real security implementation.

Keep up the good work!

Great job summing things up, Rob! It's great to see everything laid out. I'm looking forward to seeing how all this flushes out as the answers are developed. IMO, if the convention was a month or 2 later there would have been a lot more answers. I think NAR could not go to another convention without having a big statement about RPR.

Rob thanks for all the great questions.I have some morning meetings and will get to this thread later today. So you know the last few days I've been working on our RPR blog with @Pinchin and it will be up soon. We will have a FAQ section that handles most of these.

Rob, this is a terrific summary and a nice change from some of the more rampant speculation we've read. I suggest taking even the 'facts' here with a grain of salt, though. Until RPR delivers a service and a contract for MLSs and brokers to sign, I expect its model to continue to flux, and many of the facts could flux with it.

Rob, This is a great basis for continuing the RPR conversation between the various stakeholder groups. I for one will encourage RPR leadership to confirm your statements of Fact and respond directly to your excellent questions. Keep up the good work!
