As Jim Spencer is tired of saying - "You are the BRCA". The BRCA isn't a secret organisation that decides what rules to impose on the drivers, the rules are chosen and proposed by all the members then those members attending the AGM vote on which rules they want to keep and which rules to reject.

If someone proposes 5 cells and the majority vote it in then you'll be racing 5 cell next year. Alternatively if someone proposes 10 cells or 3s lipo and the majority vote it in, again that is what you'll be racing. It's entirely down to the members, not the committee.
Look at the bikes, they have been running soft cased lipos for years because the racers wanted it and voted for it. If you want lipos then rather than talk about it in various forums someone should propose it at the AGM and see whether the majority vote for them.

And Lipo is current technology, A123 Li-Ion is the future
