I have been rather pleased that instead of separately creating MSAR standards that may or may not pertain to the "real" world the NASAR team members have asked those of us actually in the field to contribute via our expertise.I am not Tomï, but as I understand it... The issue is that Tomï is the author of the TROTSAR standard, which is the most detailed existing MSAR standard I have found anywhere. That standard has been adopted formally in Maryland and informally in Virginia. Now, Jorene has said the NASAR MSAR committee is working from several existing standards, all of which are freely shared, including Tomï's. But NASAR plans a rather proprietary standard. This has the appearance (if not fact) of more "take" than "give". Those of us in NASAR's market areas can expect some "give" in return, in the form of training (for those in need of basic training) and a credential; for those of us elsewhere, there is no such expectation.
