Tom -

Under the published procedures for the SGM, there is no provision for proxy
voting by members.  The two alternatives that you have (and every other CIPS
member has) to include your vote in the decision are:
1)  mail in your ballot to the auditor by the deadline specified
2)  attend the SGM in person and submit your ballot personally

So the simple answer to your question is ...

No, there will be no provision for proxy voting at the SGM.
