Technical Sub-committee and Working Group update

The most effective way to get full value from your membership is through active involvement in the working groups. The progress of the standard is a direct result of the enormous contribution from members volunteering to work together to draft and agree the standard.

We have a range of working groups in place and will focus this update on the two that have been most recently set-up:

  1. Title Insurance Working Group – Convener Richard Gallilee

    Two meetings of this working group have been conducted to date. These have been attended by representatives of Resimac, IMB, Sandstone Technologies and First Title plus Barry Thomas as Chair of the LIXI Technical Sub-committee. Westpac and ANZ have also indicated their support for the initiative.

    As the group is leveraging the work previously performed for title insurance there are few contentious issues and it is anticipated one or two more meetings of the group should be sufficient to submit a draft title insurance standard.

  2. Valuations Working Group - Convener Dennis White

    We have also seen great interest in the Valuations working group with 30 people attending the kick off meeting. Convener Dennis White of Resimac was overwhelmed with the response and is confident that a standard can be developed relatively quickly given the level of representation.

If you are interested in finding out more or attending these or other working groups, please contact Mark Jenkins or the convener directly.
