I finally got round to reading PPRuNe from my holiday hideaway, and was shocked to notice on there the total absence of activity from AOPA on this topic.
I went to the AOPA AGM and pressed them to appoint another full-time staffer to be "Communications Person". The suggestion was listened to politely, and various promises made.
None of the promises were in the minutes when they finally came out. None of them has been acted on in any way. I think AOPA is moribund as far as the members can see (it may be doing good things, but not visibly and not enough).
I've written to AOPA to point out the serious criticism implied here, but it might be an idea if a few other AOPA members did the same.
When I get back home, I might post a PPRuNe item on AOPA and what needs to be done to get it into the 21st Century. I've done a lot of thinking and a bit of research...
Not relevant for NOTAMs - but DO lob a firecracker in their direction!
