Well, let's look at what the people who wrote Section 336 had in mind:

In this section the term ``nationwidecommunity-based organization'' is intended to mean a membership based association thatrepresents the aeromodeling community within the United States; provides its members acomprehensive set of safety guidelines that underscores safe aeromodeling operations within theNational Airspace System and the protection and safety of the general public on the ground;develops and maintains mutually supportive programming with educational institutions,government entities and other aviation associations; and acts as a liaison with governmentagencies as an advocate for its members.
So, if just any old person could avail themselves of the CBO safety program why didn't congress say that?? The Conference Committee report would have said " provides the general public a comprehensive set of safety guidelines".

But that's not what they said.

But the AMA haters will choose to willfully ignore the obvious and clear intent of Congress because it just annoys them to the end of the Earth that the AMA does anything positive.
