Proxy votes

A member may appoint an individual who is a representative of a WALN member group as his or her proxy to vote and speak on his or her behalf at the General Meeting. The appointment of a proxy must be in writing and signed by the member making the appointment.

The member appointing the proxy may give specific directions as to how the proxy is to vote on his or her behalf. If no instructions are given to the proxy, the proxy may vote on behalf of the member in any matter as the proxy sees fit.

The attached Proxy Form may be used, or any other form that clearly identifies the person appointed as the member’s proxy; and that has been signed by the member.

A form appointing a proxy must be given to the Secretary before the commencement of the General Meeting for which the proxy is appointed.  A form appointing a proxy sent by post or electronically is of no effect unless it is received by the Secretary not later than 24 hours before the commencement of the meeting.
