One obvious one is the sticky that is at the top of this forum:) (http://chronicleforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=117083). I would recommend putting it here and as the separate sticky so that people are more apt to find it. IIRC, some of the links that I provided in that thread no longer work.

Also links to the various organizations: USEF, FEI, USDF, large GMOs.
