A thought: How about framing some statement to preface any discussions between ARMA professionals and this-what-ever-it-is-major-pain-in-the-neck organization? Perhaps some kind of template statement that ARMA members can and will engage in discussions with other organizations about RIM issues, but the discussions will not represent endorsement unless specifically stated in writing - or something to that effect. Perhaps some legal mind could help with this. It sounds like our endorsement is worth something, a sort of seal of approval. So let's not give the impression that ARMA endorsements are easily obtained.
The last paragraph is a thought, not necessarily the best idea but maybe it will spark some great mind to think of something better.

When I find out about such manipulation, I have always made it a point
to publicly and rather loudly point out that we had not endorsed
anything - in fact, in a number of instances we had actually strongly
opposed what was happening.
I guess my point is that if some group is willfully misrepresenting what
ARMA or RIM in general has stated, it needs to be publicly corrected,
preferably in a venue accessible to the same target audience.
