[Board1] January 2026 OIC Meeting

[Sari-Kim Conrad]

Good morning all,

I sent the meeting invitation for the OIC meeting on January 12th yesterday.

Here is the list of topics I had previously sent to the OIC for our meeting:


  *   Clarification on marketing limitations. The Title Insurance Rules FAQ was recently removed from the OIC website, and many title companies relied on it as a reference. Fresh or renewed guidance would be valuable.
  *   Opportunity to provide or schedule a "Title Insurance 101" session for the OIC, covering how the title insurance industry protects consumers, risks associated with alternatives that do not offer the same protections, and how title insurance differs from other types of insurance.
  *   Potential discussion of current rulemaking items (acknowledging some may be resolved before we meet):
     *   Clarifying rules on title insurer educational programs (R 2025-08)
     *   Clarifying and updating minimum standards for claims handling (R 2025-05)

They would like to schedule a Title 101 class separate from this meeting and are asking for dates. I will also need some volunteers to present the class...Please let me know if you any of you would be willing to participate in the class and feel free to throw out some dates.

In the meantime, it might be good to have some additional topics, and it wouldn't hurt to reiterate how title insurance protects the consumer. They were also very interested in learning more about wire fraud in one of our previous meetings. Please send any additional topics to me and Maureen Pfaff as she will be the primary WLTA contact for this meeting.

Thank you,
