Its been mentioned every year for the last 8-10 years and the answer is always the same - the proposals presented before the AGM are always discussed on the floor and amended/reworded to fine tune them before they are voted on. As you can't do that on a website in real-time, you can't do online voting without the proposals being so damned rigid, that the wrong phrasing could and would screw up a whole seasons worth of racing.
I don't think many people realise this, but its entirely possible to run a season of racing outdoors with cool funny people, and have close competition and fun antics without needing to have anything to do with the BRCA. The RRCI series is a perfect example. Its not simple, but its doable.
