As for the FAA, I am in compliance with the law. That is all you or anyone need to know.
I read the link you posted and at no time did he refer to non members as being rogues only those who refused to follow the rules. To me it’s reads very simple, at the time the letter is written there were only 2 sets of rules. Follow one or the other and you are compliant. The rogues as you put it are not non members of the AMA but those who refuse to follow one or the other of the rules in place. Since the only entity that has the authority to enforce those rules is the FAA Mr. Hanson recommends those not in compliance be fined and prosecuted. In this notice you can be in compliance if you fly within the rules and safety guidelines of a recognised CBO. As far as I can see it does not require membership in the CBO just that you know, understand and comply with the directive of that CBO which happens to be the AMA.
As far as your compliance with the law I wouldn’t expect anything less I only stated if one had not registered then they would not be in compliance.

Been actively flying in the US for over 15 years mostly on a drop in basis hoping to meet the everyday flyer not just the event buffs and with either group I have never heard the topic go to club or AMA membership other than asking to see your AMA card. I show my MAAC card and sometimes the letter of Reciprocal Agreement between MAAC and the AMA and I good to go. Sometimes a club executive who is not familiar will contact the AMA to confirm what I have told them but again I have no problem with any club making sure everything is proper.
