NAR can’t make a decision at the Board of Directors level until the Conference in November.

There is a work group formed as a subset of the MLS Committee to investigate this and other issues in detail. I’ve been invited to be on that work group, which meets in Chicago at the end of August.

ARMLS never did make anyone de-index anything, it was MIBOR that did that. ARMLS supports IDX indexing. Last heard, MIBOR was standing fast on their interpretation and still forcing some to have there IDX pages not indexable.

I’m really glad you are able to be at the NAR board meeting this fall when they vote on the indexing issue and I’m glad to see more and more local MLS services are deciding search engine indexing is not a bad thing!

Here's to hoping the rest of the MLS boards decide similarly! Surely if enough MLS boards individually are agreeing that indexing listings for search engines is OK and benificial for all, then the NAR will have to listen...I'm so glad you will be there to fight in person for us! **Leon Blenky-Miami Beach Luxury Homes´s last blog post..Acqualina Condo Hotel In Sunny Isles Beach Presents Great Wine Tasting

I am so glad to hear your MLS has decided that the indexing of listings is OK; I know you will have a long road before you as you help get the REALTOR® board on the same page, but the local MLS is a huge step and can only help the fight.

Glad to hear that they made a wise forward thinking decision like that. Many places have policy makers that just do not understand technology or the internet, so they make decisions that they think will cover their backs while they are just frustrating people instead. Great to hear that they made the decision so quickly too. Maybe the rest of the MLS's in the country will be influenced by this decision. **Portland Real Estate´s last blog post..Washington Park: NW Portland

I was about to ask the same thing? Thanks for answering the question Marc. We are lucky to live in the best state around uh! I love AZ and I too feel lucky to have ARMLS. I also appreciate the comments that are made by Jay. Thanks for all the great daily information Jay. **Brewer Caldwell´s last blog post..Brewer Caldwell is the BEST
