would our industry benefit with more structure?

I don't see it happening, Izzz. You can't get 12 program owners to meet on time in the lobby of a Vegas hotel and decide where they are going to dinner in less than an hour. And those are the organized ones.

Now let's add in the petty disputes and outright dislikes (ok, hatreds in some case) of the various people with stature (I use that term very loosely) against one another. Then let's toss in the competitive edge to get traffic and sales.

After that we'd mix a cup or two of potential government intervention, either criminal or civil (like the FTC's current spam campaign), toss in some lawsuits (and there are always more of these going around than anyone would ever guess) and top it off with the proverbial cherry -- the egos.

Not much chance of anything structurally happening, imo.
