What's happened here is the classic where most folk appear to have sat back expecting somebody else to do things for them and it just doesn't work like that i'm afraid.
As your point above perfectly illustrates.
I can put a proposal into any section (as can any other member) but I would only be confident doing it in 1/12 as I understand the knock on implications of what i'm suggesting - Here we have the opposite the people who understood the implications of what was going on don't appear to have got involved in the process?

Hi Jim.
My point is that at several junctures the BRCA have been made aware of the dimensions that would envelope the current range of LiPO cells that are out there.
I've even gone to the man at the top PW and pointed it out in a very self explanatory e-mail which he seems to have ignored. I given him the benefit of my knowledge at the time, well before the BRCA AGM thus giving him chance to amend the rule himself before going to the AGM. I didn;t think I could really go any further than to the 'Horse's mouth' for want of better words.
I'm not sure how it can be said that 'we've sat back' when I've e-mailed, other people have wanted to discuss the rules at the AGM and we seem to have been 'quashed'
FCS - We are talking about an dimension of a component in a rule that has not been finalised. Surely there needs to been some common sense from EFRA/BRCA in making the available rule fit the current ROAR allowed list, this would allow parity across the pond when some of us guys go racing at worlds euros, or other international events and vice-versa when guys from the US come over here.
Still no-one has found a hole in my original statement. Where was the overall pack dimensional ruling for NiCd / NiMh.
