What is the B.Dowie CRB's FB Agenda?

-although there are other restricted classes with similar shifter rules, the CRB is specifically targeting FB because of an agenda that they have.
The members of the CRB were terribly misinformed about how the shifters work and the members actualy didn't know what the rule they are sending to the BOD says. Several members were surprised to find out that they were proposing a rule that put the 40 pound penalty on anything that had a wire.
It was all pretty disappointing to me. My impression was that they weren't interested in listening to the members and they were one small step away from putting their fingers in their ears and saying, "La La La, I can't hear you."
I didn't make it to the Runoffs, and would like to know what the BD CRB FB Agenda is.
Also, (1) is the CRB appointed by the BOD? & (2) Do Club Members have any involvement in the CRB membership selection process?
Thanks, Rick

FYI:
As expected, today the 10/2011 Fasttrack/Club Racing/No Action Required section states:
FORMULA
FB
1. (Multiple) 40lb penalty for assisted shifters
Thank you for your letters. The CRB will request the BoD approve the 40 lb penalty for electronically assisted shift systems.
