Using the Proxies Tab in a Scheduled Meeting in MeetingPal

Access the Scheduled Meeting

On the MeetingPal Home Page, locate the left-hand menu. Select Meetings.

From the dropdown list, locate and select the scheduled meeting for which you want to manage proxy appointments.

Open the Proxies Tab

In the selected meeting’s dropdown menu, click Proxies.

The Proxies page will open.

Understanding the Proxies Page

The Proxies page allows you to view, create, and manage proxy appointments for the meeting.

A proxy appointment authorises one person to attend and vote on behalf of another eligible attendee.

From this page, you can:

View all proxy appointments. Add new proxy assignments. Edit existing proxy details. Remove proxy appointments. Confirm whether proxy forms have been received. Review represented voting rights.

Add a New Proxy Appointment

Click the Add Proxy button.

Complete the proxy form.

Typical fields may include:

Appointing Owner or Member. Unit Number. Proxy Holder Name. Proxy Holder Email Address. Date Received. Notes or Instructions. Click Save Proxy.

The proxy holder will now be recorded against the selected owner or member.

Edit an Existing Proxy

Locate the proxy appointment in the list. Click the Edit icon. Update the required details. Click Save Changes.

Remove a Proxy Appointment

Locate the proxy record. Click Delete or Remove. Confirm the action.

Once removed, the appointing owner or member will no longer be represented by that proxy.

Search and Filter Proxy Records

Use the search bar and filters to quickly locate proxy appointments.

You may be able to filter by:

Appointing owner or member. Proxy holder. Unit number. Date received. Voting eligibility.

Review Proxy Representation

The Proxies tab may display:

Number of proxy appointments received. Units represented by proxies. Voting weight represented. Percentage of total representation.

Use this information to assess quorum and voting participation.

Common Uses for the Proxies Tab

The Proxies tab is useful for:

Recording proxy forms submitted before the meeting. Assigning proxy holders to represent absent owners. Reviewing represented voting rights. Supporting quorum calculations.

Best Practices

Verify proxy forms are valid before recording them. Confirm proxy holder details are accurate. Record proxies before the meeting begins. Review proxy assignments before opening votes.

Important Notes

Proxy appointments may affect attendance, quorum, and voting calculations. Only authorized users should add or modify proxy records. Proxy rules and limitations depend on your organization’s governance requirements.
