There is no limit on the number of proxies any one person can hold, provided they are on the correct form and the proxy holder and providers are entitled to vote at the meeting (ie, their levies are paid up to date and in the bank before the meeting starts)…..I think you might find the following interesting, its on the net so there should be no copyright issues…
The extended quote was interesting. I would not assume that anything on the net is free of copyright! The quoted text appears to have been published on Facebook and I did not find it elsewhere in a search. Normally I think it would be better to summarise the key points and provide a link to the original work.
PeterC is absolutely right. Just because something appears on the net, doesn’t mean it’s free to be posted elsewhere. You are usually OK to quote a line or two and may even get away with re-posting someone else’s work if you are sure they are OK with that. But copyright exists by the simple act of publishing something, either in print or on the Net, and lifting someone else’s work wholesale is not something we encourage. I have edited out the huge amount of material lifted from a Facebook page and replaced it with a link to the page so that the originator of the material will get the traffic they have earned. Please don’t cut and paste other people’s work here, especially unattributed. It’s not free and it’s not fair.
