QUOTE OF THE MONTH "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou DO-NOT-FAX RULES EXTENDED (October 1, 2004) – Today the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an Order extending the stay of the “Do-Not-Fax” rules from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. In August 2004, NAR together with all fifty state REALTOR associations (including North Dakota) filed a petition asked the FCC to grant an extension so as to give Congress time to complete consideration of legislation without burdening our members and state and local associations with the significant compliance costs while it is unclear what rules will be in effect on January 1, 2005.
