Scout's honour - when I say 'secret', I mean secret. The vote is
anonymous. The voter's identity is undisclosed. All that good stuff,
just like a traditional secret ballot. 8^)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proxy voting and delegated voting are procedures for the delegation to
another member of a voting body of that member's power to vote in his
absence. Proxy appointments can be used to form a voting bloc that can
exercise greater influence in deliberations or negotiations. A person so
designated is called a "proxy" and the person designating him is called a
"principal."
You seem to be thinking of something else.
Yes and no. What we're discussing is described in the original post,
at the top of the thread. The terms are defined there. Is anything
unclear there?
When? Anyway:
Proxy is an existing word with an idea - a meaning.
I see that Abd has a new word, DP, for an idea that is similar enough that
a slightly modified label makes distinguishing the ideas doable.
You have a new, DIFFERENT, idea but chose to use an existing word to label
this - NONproductive!

Do to no one what you would not want done to you.
If you want peace, work for justice.
