scotlandx I should have known you were right. The NSW Office of Fair Trading confirms in a ‘small strata’ such as ours, it really is only 1 proxy allowed for everyone, even the meeting’s chair, who may not always be the actual committee chair. While I think the new rules were needed and are worthwhile, there does seem a ‘gap in the legislation’ as you said.
An alternative, according to the OFT is ‘electronic voting’ so I scanned our proxy and sent it to the committee secretary and CCd all and sundry; committee and non-committee, friend and foe. As the OFT said, in an unofficially-sounding way, ‘so long as your voted intention is clear on each item’.
Thanks!
