I believe that language is even included on many proxy forms that are floating around.
The person GIVING the proxy must fill it out including the name of the guy he is giving the proxy to.. Nobody else can enter the proxy holder's name. They do not need to be in front of each other. Electronic signatures are not authorized, and the council chairman has the responsibility to ensure proxies are valid.
Were any rules being violated or did they just disagree with your position?
The chairman was made aware that fraudulent proxies were being manufactured and did nothing about it. As such, Breelman was derelict in his duties. If you think dereliction of his duties constitutes listening to and respecting "the interests, cares, and concerns of the pilots in his council," then I'd suggest you need to reevaluate what "betterment of the pilot group" really means.
