Question for US Rules committee on AH capability within LX NAV computers?

-Are LXNAV products with AHRS available by software key allowed? They are not on this list:
-The "restricted device policy" claims there will be a list published of acceptable software. And unacceptable software. That might be useful. Where is it?
-This antique discussion thread implies that XCSoar (which as of 2017 still has a not-very-good AH option) is illegal. Is it? Do I have to run some forked version of it?
-In the year 2017 is anyone in the US competing using XCSoar as a flight computer? On a phone with no SIM card installed?
Since no one here is interested in answering these questions, is there anyone at SSA I should be emailing? Calling? Sending a letter?
The SSA "Guide to Competition" also says exactly nothing about flight computers, instruments, etc....
One thought I have is that you may want to email your regional director, the SSA Secretary and/or contest committee members. If they cannot answer your questions hopefully, they can then forward your message to someone who may be able to answer your questions. Please go to the SSA.org site and then click on "The SSA" and then go to "About the SSA" and then go to "Governance." Once in "Governance" you will see at the bottom "Other Volunteer Committees." There you will find info and emails for your regional director, EXCOM members, state governors, contest committee folks, etc, etc....Good luck on your search for answers. Hopefully, someone will be able to answer your great questions! Renny
