I don't think one exists.  At least not in  my copy or on
the web.

This little snippet might be considered on point (from
Robert's)

"The state law is above the by-laws of the society, and if
the state law empowers members of all corporations to
appoint proxies to vote at all business meetings, no by-laws
of an incorporated secret society could prevent non-members
holding proxies from attending and voting at all business
meetings of the society."

IIRC, there is nothing in the societies act to prevent
proxies, is there?

Gives one pause, don't it?
