The commitment was to urge the U.S. Copyright Office to reconsider the fee increase, not necessarily to secure reconsideration. Verified evidence states the Real Estate Caucus urged the Copyright Office to reconsider the fee increase affecting non-photographic databases including MLSs, and the verified original commitment says Alford led the letter. That fulfills the promised action during the same term, with material attribution to Alford.
