The Meeting is tomorrow, and the forces of Dark Side have been working overtime (on our dime) collecting proxies to try and defeat this.



The below is for your reference and need not be attached to your proxy form:



CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS PROVISIONS ON PROXIES FOR LOCAL COUNCILS

Constitution and By-Laws Article III, Section 3G, Proxies: "Proxies for a Local Council meeting must be in writing, from an Active member in good standing, and for the specific subjects listed on the published agenda. Stated on the proxy must be the name of the person issuing the proxy, the person to whom issued, and the subjects covered by the proxy. No member shall be able to vote more than three (3) proxies. Proxies may be used in any vote by secret ballot in a Local Council meeting except those votes enumerated in Section 3E of this Article." Article III, Section 3E, Voting: At all meetings of a Local Council, all questions coming before such Council shall be decided by a majority vote of the Local Council members in attendance (including valid proxies except as provided in the following sentence), and each Active Local Council member in good standing shall have one (1) vote. Proxies may not be used for secret ballots required in Article III, Section 2E(3) (Interim Status Representatives); Article III, Section 7A(1) (Nomination of Representatives); Article IV, Section 2B (Strike Votes); Article IX, Section 7B (Assessments), and ALPA's contract ratification procedures.



Interpretation of the Executive Council: The Executive Council, at its December 2000 meeting, interpreted Article III, Section 3G as follows: “Proxy forms under Article III, Section 3G of the Constitution and By-Laws must be completed in their entirety and signed by the member giving the proxy, including the name of the proxy holder, when the form is signed.”
