Mark,
If you re-read the original email, there was no mention of any intent to establish or enforce any code of ethics. There is no mention of doing anything to clean up the hobby nor "operate ethically."
The intent is to figure out a way to maintain the status quo. They are worried about reputations and financial consequences.
That's a very different goal than you are hoping for.
