I think your success will depend on whether you have either the Chairman or Secretary amongst those who requisition the EGM.
First of all, PeterC is correct in that “the EC and OC retains all powers they care to exercise”.
So, if the (owner) Chairman is amongst your number, he should care to chair the EGM, thus picking up any proxies nominating “The Chairman of the Meeting”, rather than the SM doing so.
Second, any one owner may submit a motion for the next GM.
So, after agreeing the wording amongst yourselves, do that.
Then, get your 25% to requisition the EGM.
I take a much firmer line than JT on whether anybody is entitled to re-word the motion as submitted. This is what the Act says (with my blue bolding):
36 Requisition for motion to be included on agenda for general meeting
(1) Any person entitled to vote at a general meeting of an owners corporation on a motion that does not require a unanimous resolution may, by notice in writing served on the secretary of the executive committee, require inclusion in the agenda of the next general meeting of the owners corporation of a motion set out in the notice and the secretary must comply with the notice.
