The MRF has a bit of an interesting history. When they set up they were trying to act as a clearing house for TO best practices, and also help lodges get "certified." Now as you can imagine, this ruffled the feathers of a number of Grand Lodges and Grand Masters, who believed that the only one any lodge should be responsible towards, is the Grand Lodge. Because of this MRF have backed off on their approach, but I still think they want some information in order to get listed on their site.
Their main focus is really their yearly conference, which is usually quite excellent. Would recommend going if you guys ever get a chance.
