Less Than 1,000 To Go! Tentative Target Date - May 15th!

Unregistered Carriers on 01/30/2009 - 1006
Unregistered Carriers on 02/01/2010 - 999

Illinois - 95.37%
Maine - 93.40%

I don't know why, by moving to "under 1,000" unregistered MCMIS carrier records seems like a cool thing to me. The bad news is that there are still "just under 1,000" unregistered MCMIS records out there.

On March 17th, 2009, when I started the "Getting to Zero" effort, we had 5,123 unregistered carriers left to go, so we have, indeed, come a long way .... and we've learned a lot!

On January 1, we had 1,301 unregistered carriers, so I would consider removing a net of 300 records per month to be entirely realistic. Simple math using that pace "gets us to zero" around May 15th. Do I think it will go down that way? Maybe, maybe not.

My hope is that we will get 2010 fees and have to direct our attention first and foremost to 2010 registration. We've been collecting "other people's money" for about a year now and it's time to get some revenue in the door that we can keep. In that case, we will continue to collect 2009 revenues, but we will probably be less aggressive about deactivating unregistered carriers.

For now, it's business as usual ...
