When you get a large number of the participants in these organizations
(large enough to be a non trivial percentage of the participants) having
solid CS credentials, and most of the rest with attitudes that approximate
to "california liberal".. you might find it wiser to recognize those
associations as CS

A trade union for, say, an airport's air traffic control employees, or a
city transit union with bus and metro rail drivers, has a similar
monopolistic hold over services at a large airport or a city. Ever been in
calcutta during one of those periodic bangla bandhs the communist govt
affiliated trade unions love to call all the time?

Your argument still doesnt hold. And even if it does its a dangerous trend
you are advocating. And theres a slippery enough slope for other
stakeholders to start excluding CS if you advocate such limits.
