IANAL but I believe that the general interpretation of law is that if something is not prohibited, it is permitted. But, having said that, I also visited the Robert's rules site and learned that secret societies and certain organizations (such as CIPS) can legitimately restrict the assignment of proxies. So ... CIPS can restrict the proxy process but has not. Or, I am sure, it could indirectly restrict the proxy process by stating in its constitution that meetings will be held according to Robert's Rules. But, again, it has not. I guess it comes down to this: an organization of professionals is making up its own rules as it goes along -- hardly a praiseworthy accomplishment. We've exhausted this topic. I'm moving on.
