Proxy Votes
#7
Sounds to me like the Proxy vote holders are going to dominate the AGM, almost irrespective of what the floor attendees want. Particularly when are large number of them are potentially canvassed votes for one or other of the presidential candidates.

I do not think that proxy votes for named presidential candidates should be accepted if they predate the list of candidates being published - that tends to make it look like an organized campaign, abusing the proxy system, to get one's own way because they dislike an existing individual officer.

We really need to look at proxy votes in a bit more detail to prevent this sort of thing, even if it does mean a change to the constitution.
All it needs is to get a proposer/seconder and at least 10 individual members to call a SGM if necessary so that next years AGM doesn't have this problem and that Proxy voting is tightened up. That is not to say I will do so, I am only highlighting how it is simple to do.
