I am a COPA member and while I feel the organize does indeed contribute, I was more referring to the individuals that do nothing.
On the front page of the COPA website and the COPA newspaper, COPA asked everyone to write to Transport Canada to not pass off the airport approval process to municipalities. Out of 20,000 members, TC received 14 replies and not all of those 14 were COPA members.
In contrast, it looks like a lot of individuals in the US are pitching in personally to change this 3rd class medical.
That being said, I feel that COPA needs some serious change but that might not be a topic for this thread.
