What about an organization that gets its foundation from a group of people not associated with any athletes? That would solve the problem of "my record, my organization."

I think you hit the nail on the head. I was trying to get this idea put into the series of articles I was going to do, but due to the resistance of the various organizations, they wanted nothing to do with it.
The ideal situation would be to bring in the one judge from each of the govering bodies when a record is to be attempted so that there will always be an equal say on the records validity.
But from the sounds of it - this isn't going to happen anytime soon. It almost appears that these organizations are using their name as a way to make money in their certification classes and sponsorship.
I personally would like to interview all of the heads of these groups for an extended series on this topic - maybe now is the time to try (again).
Anyone else have any input on this?
