At one time there was an organization known as the
Sport Fliers Association (SFA) which had aeromodeling aviation safety guidelines however that organization never got off the ground so to speak and there are many threads that already discuss that.
By the definition of a CBO I could make an argument that most not for profit clubs that follow the AMA safety guidelines and publish their own local safety guidelines and provide instruction/education to its local members can also be defined as a CBO.

I agree which is why IMHO the term "nationwide" was added. More and more it looks like the AMA lobbyists knew what they were doing.
