[Euro-board] Seeking EURALO Board advice on Proxies

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Dear Colleagues,

as you know we are not running on the New EURALO Bylaws. The rule for
Proxies is as follows:

8.2.1.3. Proxies may only validly be appointed by a notice in writing (a
“proxy notice”) which:

a. states the name and address of the Member appointing the proxy;
b. identifies the person appointed to be that Member’s proxy and the
General Assembly in relation to which that person is appointed;
c. is signed by or on behalf of the Member appointing the proxy, or is
authenticated in such manner as the Board may determine; and is
delivered to the General Assembly in accordance with the articles and
any instructions contained in the notice of the General Assembly to
which they relate.

Sébastien and I have discussed this and the form of a proxy should
really be in the operational rules, but in the absence of such rules at
the present moment, we interpreted the Proxy rules as:

- the name and address of the member appointing the proxy is the name
and the email address. We have always taken the email address as being
authoritative

- It is our opinion that an email from the member, that clearly provides
the name of the proxy they are nominating, is enough authentication for
the appointment of a proxy. We are in a non-hostile environment and at
this stage we cannot foresee that someone might forge emails to appoint
proxies without the authority to do so.

Please confirm that this interpretation is supported by you.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
