Martin, sorry to butt in again but consider this:

If knowledge of the chemicals and the power of making decisions for the rest are left in the hands of a select few i.e. ROAR or Ifmar councils ( please no disrespect intended to these people it is only a "for instance" ) you leave room for companies selling this stuff to lobby and corrupt or send "kickbacks" to said officials to further their own ends. (sorry if I seem a cynic! lol)
Now this happens in all other aspects of government. I mean you only have to look at a newspaper each day to see that someone has been accused or on trial for some form of corruption.

Now please dont take this as a poke at any official as it is not.

As carl said make them publicly list the chemicals used, if only for the sake of transparency. Quantities dont matter.
Then we racers have the same knowledge as the decisionmakers and can self police the hobby and govering bodies.

My .02c. for what its worth
