Awesome POD! There's a lot to do regarding Drop Zone culture and what the same skydiving community demands from other divers. More than setting down more rules, maybe working these better practices into each DZ's culture and building workshops and activities (like during weather holds) around safety and this kind of knowledge might be the way to go! Keep these amazing ideas coming, a lot of us are already working towards putting them in place! ;)

Excellent...again... We created a 100-jump program at our DZ with free organizing and recommended coaching every 10-15 jumps to monitor performance. We made it a recommended program for new jumpers and spent lots of time coming up with what we thought was the safest, smartest development of skills. We had variations for people to pursue different disciplines. It was great. And no student followed it. After they got their A-license, they just wanted to go play with their friends. Maybe we need to socialize it more or make it looser. Would love to run it past you. Also, we're working on a version of JRuss's movement leader test for our DZ as a course for anyone who wants to lead jumps.
