In this case an exchange company is not involved.
I don't think that the rental of owned or exchange acquired weeks was Paul's topic of inquiry at all. If I read his question correctly, he is asking about the propriety of a COMPANY being simultaneously engaged in BOTH the reservation process AND conducting direct rentals.
It's a good question; one to which I will not presume to have an answer. The outcome of Murillo vs. RCI might ultimately help to shed some light on the matter (assuming, of course, that the case ever actually ends).
