Proxy

A Proxy is a person appointed by a member to vote for them at a General Meeting. Every member can appoint a proxy if they are unable to attend meetings, and can act as a proxy for one other member at a time.

The maximum number of votes a member may cast at General Meeting is defined in Clause 22. By default, each member may only cast a maximum of two votes (their own, plus one as a proxy) to prevent the accumulation of voting power in the hands of Governing Body members or executive officers.
