Unless you consider AMA rules established guidelines, the guidelines don't exist until the two groups agree on them.
A final point - I may not have been clear. When I stated that I would hope the rogue flyers would be agreeable to establishing guidelines, I was referring to a written frequency sharing agreement, not the AMA standards.

Thanks for clearing that up. I would also hope they are agreeable to that.
I'm no lawyer (and I did not stay at a holiday inn express last night), but I would guess that in the event of some sort of accident, refusal to enter into a frequency sharing agreement would be viewed as negligence much quicker than not recognizing AMA rules about 3 miles of separation.
Of course, that agreement could end up relieving the established club of a great deal of usable frequencies.
I hope they can work this out.
