-
The survey must be managed by a third-party
-
The information provided by participants is based on data more than three months old
-
There have to be at least five providers offering data and no individual provider's data should represent more than 25% on a weighted basis of that statistic
-
Any information disseminated must be sufficiently aggregated so participants are not able to identify the compensation paid by any particular provider
