Does this not make sense though? I know you're going to pivot to the "AMA forcing membership narrative", but I don't know if I want the AMA doing specific things for non members, even more so if it opens a person or the AMA up to any liability.
"at this time" means just that. Leaves open the possibility for something else, like say another CBO (which is free to form on it's own). Or, perhaps the AMA decides to be a go to resource and charges a "fee" for services. Again, how many of these non member requested inspections do you realistically think there will be?
