“Following that work, RESO and CMLS have concluded those discussions and made the shared decision not to move forward with forming a new combined organization.

While we identified areas of strong alignment, we also recognized that the structural and governance considerations required to move forward did not ultimately support creating a single new entity at this time.”
Probably for the best. Lots of question remain.
