If anything, I think a control compound is a better implication, rear axle included than an overall control tyre.
For the current controlled tyres you can get;
Schumacher compounds:
Blue
Yellow
Silver
Green
Ballistic buggy compounds:
Green
Blue
Pink
White
4 compounds from each manufacturer on the same tyre. Would it not just be easier having a dry and wet compound nominated and stick to that?
As for the proposals, I prefer the wording of:
23.11 At Sanctioned events two types of control tyre will be adopted for the driven axle on 2WD cars and the front and rear axle of 4WD cars. The choice of tyres for the non-driven axle on 2WD cars will be free, subject to conforming to rule 23.7. The Section committee will approve the choice of control tyres.
However, why take the choice of tyre away from the club? They know what works best. Or is this wording just meaning they will approve the clubs decision?
