"An organizational meeting of industry stakeholders occurred in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania today to discuss whether to create an ASTM committee to begin the formation of a national standard of practice for home inspection.  The result of this meeting is that a national standard will not move forward at this time."

I attended the meeting and found it very interesting to see a representative sampling of various interests from the Real Estate community present from all areas of the country.

Morning, Joe.

What was the outcome of the meeting.  I wasn't able to attend, and have no clue how things went.

 The result of this meeting is that a national standard will not move forward at this time.

Great to hear Joe. Quite a lop sided vote. Looks like logic prevailed... this time.
