I've heard tell that people are "appointing" proxies on IRC and so forth. This just won't do -- I can't authenticate the validity of the proxy.
The rules for appointing a proxy are set out in the SLUG constitution,
section 33, as follows:
33. APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES
1. Each member is to be entitled to appoint another member as proxy by
notice given to the secretary.
2. The notice appointing the proxy is to be in the form set out in
Appendix 2 to these rules. Digitally signed email shall suffice for
the appointment of a proxy.
So you have to give proper notice, and send it to the secretary
([EMAIL PROTECTED] if I'm not mistaken -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] will
certainly suffice). I'll be forwarding all proxies received by me to the
secretary. I'll be checking my mail immediately before the meeting, for any
late entries.
Appendix 2 is:
FORM OF APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
I, ___________________________________________
(full name)
of _________________________________________________
(email address)
being a member of _______________________________________
(name of incorporated association)
hereby appoint ______________________________________________
(full name of proxy)
of _________________________________________________________
(email address)
being a member of that incorporated association, as my proxy to vote
for me on my behalf at the general meeting of the association (annual
general meeting or special general meeting, as the case may be) to be
held on the day of 20 and at any adjournment of that meeting.
* My proxy is authorised to vote in favour of/against (delete as
appropriate) the resolution (insert details).
* To be inserted if desired.
Signature of member appointing proxy Date
NOTE: A proxy vote may not be given to a person who is not a member
of the association.
Additionally, no person may hold more than 5 proxies.
Your proxy needs to be digitally (or physically) signed. Unsigned proxies,
again, cannot be verified and must be discarded.
