If an organisation has a vested interest in any issues, then I would have thought that they would use funds to establish the implications to them of those issues, even if a wider audience was also able to benefit from that approach.
It seems to me to be that it will be down once again to what individuals will be able to make of their own personal situation, rather than what contractor "representative" organisations are willing to get engaged in.
I'm a member of IPSE, now mainly for the financial benefits it accrues, but I don't think that organisations necessarily represents my needs or aspirations.
I liken it to my membership of the Jaguar Drivers Club. I pay my subs in order to benefit from competitive insurance for my classic Jaguar and some general information regarding the classic movement as a whole. However, it's a club which seems mainly orientated towards social events, and I'm more interested in practical issues such as maintenance and restoration.
