SO: I will suggest not to modify the list settings. Most of the time people
hit reply and their mails goes as PM. I think it's absolutely fine for a
community list like this to have a default response to the community. One
can always do a formal withdrawal OR be mindful of who he/she is replying
to before hitting the send button.

bringing a substantial number of proxies especially from a particular
region where AFRINIC membership was dense could not from a "community "
perspective give the best representation for the Africa regions.This is why
the limitation of the number of proxies was introduced and voted by the
community.

SO: While a member should indeed be allowed to freely determine how they
want to exercise their rights(including who to serve as their proxy). One
may also want to consider other ways to encourage direct member
participation as that could improve diversity during members
meeting/discussion; especially towards contributions that may be made. It
will be good to see new faces and see actual members at our members meeting.

It may also be good to look at possibilities of allowing members to be able
to specify the scope of their proxy. For instance a member could say he/she
only wants the proxy to act during Board election and not during GC
election.
