| 2002-03-05-03 Proxy Voting |
VOTED to include the following item in the
Bylaws: Any member of the Board of Directors who is aware that they will not be able to attend an official meeting, or any part of a meeting, may select a proxy from the other members of the board. The voting member must make the request directly to the potential proxy member, while including the entire board, specifying if the proxy privileges extend to the content of the entire meeting or for certain agenda item(s). The requested proxy member may choose to accept or deny the request. If the request is turned down the voting member may make another request or choose to be counted as absent. If the voting member happens to make the meeting after securing a proxy, the proxy request is automatically rescinded. Likewise, a voting member may rescind a proxy request altogether in the same fashion cited above for a request, or they can cause it to be rescinded by placing a later proxy request for somebody else. Proxy requests prior to the meeting must be followed up in writing with the Secretary. The written follow-up may take the form of a letter, facsimile, or digitally-signed email. Proxy requests made during the meeting must be reflected in the minutes of said meeting. |
