WIA Election Proxies - VK2CSW - 05-03-2017
WIA Election Proxies.
Just received this from WIA:
Dear WIA member,
A draft version of the proxy form was sent to the printer for inclusion in AR magazine. The form was different to the version published on the WIA website.
The difference between the forms has caused some confusion, and discussion about their validity on social media. One form requires the member to sign, and the other relies on the members membership number to confirm the members identity. Both forms rely on the membership number and callsign to confirm the members address, rather than a specific entry on the form.
It is anticipated that proxies on either form will be accepted by the AGM Chairperson, however, to ensure all proxies are accepted, members are asked to resubmit their proxy on the new form unless they have previously included their address.
Resubmitting your proxy on the new form ensures your proxy will be accepted in all circumstances.
The new proxy form is attached to this email and is also available for download from the WIA website using the following Link The correct revision date is 05/03/2017.
If your proxy is received by the WIA office on the earlier forms, and if your address is not included, the WIA office will attempt to contact you and ask you to resubmit your proxy.
The WIA apologises for this inconvenience, however under the circumstances we have taken this action to remove any doubt.

WIA President.
I will refrain from making a comment...
