Fortunately, thanks to the FAA UAS Integration Office,
we now know that Chad's statement is patently false.
The FAA UAS Integration Office said quite clearly that
"The FAA does not interpret PL 112-95 Section 336 (a) (2) as requiring membership in a CBO ... You must only follow the guidelines of a CBO."
In case you forgot, here's Chad making the statement - that we now know is false:
"The Final Small UAS Rule" on this page:

Oh wait, this wasn't just a question you had...this had to do with something you thought the AMA was doing that was bad? Color me shocked.
You and about 5 other people (perhaps those are the "we"you refer to) who happen to find fault with absolutely everything the AMA does appeared to be the only ones in doubt. Now that it's cleared up, we can move on to the next issue.
