CIPS is *not* for its members

There can no longer be any doubt:  CIPS doesn't operate for its members, only
for the various executives.

There is a special general meeting for the Toronto section.  My wife, a CIPS
member and an I.S.P., is not able to attend and wanted me to vote by proxy for
her.  Fortunately, she checked ahead and asked Meta Ferguson about the process
for getting a proxy.  Meta spoke with Rick Penton and he has said that a proxy
cannot be given to a non-member.

This is outrageous.  But, considering how CIPS operates, not unexpected.

By the way, the November, December and January minutes of the Toronto branch
still have not been posted.
