Re: [Community-Discuss] Congratulations to the new Chair & Vice-Chair of AFRINIC

Since section 12.12 of the bylaws is silent on the issue of whether a proxy is required to be a natural person, then yes, in theory, a body could be a valid proxy. Still any such body would only be entitled to one vote on any matter for which said proxy was appointed, so it would still require
