Hi Anon -
No, the term "PTO" generally refers to independent parent groups of all types, like your PTG. The group at my kids' school is an HSA (Home & School Association), and we hear dozens and dozens of similar acronyms. There is no national set of PTO (or PTG or HSA) guidelines, except what the IRS and state law might require of a non-profit.
That said, there are certainly best practices. That's a big part of what this site and all of our PTO Today resources are all about. Good luck.
