As discussed in a few recent reports, the WRC has allowed the use of hand warmers during an attempt. Does this also include electronic hand warmers?
Also discussed is that it is quite common for competitors to want to have a drinks bottle with them during longer events, e.g. 5BLD, MBLD, FMC. I think we should be allowing any non-alcoholic beverage to be consumed during an attempt as opposed to just water. Consider a diabetic that might need to drink a sugary beverage to increase blood-sugar level.
Both of these should append to A5b most likely.

I don't think we have full consensus on that yet, but now's a good time to discuss.
I don't see a problem with electric hand warmers before the attempt begins, but I think we should keep heavy restrictions on electronic interaction during an attempt. So, I'd vote for only non-electric hand warmers during an event.
Drink labels shouldn't be used to cheat (e.g. have algs encoded on them), but I can't think of anything clever. I think it's fine to just allow a moderate amount of food and drink, at the discretion of the Delegate. (There are situations where the Delegate would need to be restrictive, e.g. if the venue strictly disallows foods or beverages.)
Would you be interested in drafting a change for this?
* Explicitly allow non-electronic hand warmers and food&drink
Instead of adding this to A5b it makes more sense to add them to 2i1. This parent regulation states already that it is at the discretion of the WCA delegate so it does not need to be included within 2i1c and 2i1d which are being added.
