First this simply sidesteps the issue.  A mail-in ballot is not a proxy.  A
proxy is "the agency, function, or office of a deputy who acts as a substitute
for another."

Second, since no mailing has been received, I would appreciate knowing when
the mailing was sent to members.  I would also be interested in knowing why
"submit by mail" was chosen by a technology group.  Surely there must be some
electronic means of registering votes.

What is CIPS trying to hide, Faye?  If there is nothing to hide, then why bar
a proxy from attending?
