As far as I remember passing on a proxy during a meeting was quite common back in the days where we still had this possibility. Given that we are all volunteers, having a regular day job, there is not always time to attend every meeting, hence a simple proxy option is certainly desirable. At least from my recollection there was no misuse of that practice. tom Am 12.07.2007 schrieb Ross Rader:

Ross, why the limitation that proxy must be passed 'prior to the start of the meeting'? I have seen several times where a Councilor was at a meeting but needed to leave before it ended, and sought at that point to give a proxy (which I believe we have accepted that proxy vote on at least a couple occasions).
I'm not sure where that specific practice came from, it was just the way we did it :)
Glen might be able to provide better insight though.
