No Omo,
Please read what Ashok said – the limitation *WILL NOT SURVIVE LEGAL CHALLENGE*
The companies act does not ALLOW the limitation.

As you have repeated but that is by the way. What is clear is that electronic voting has solved the issue with proxies so we don’t need them. If the companies act is restrictive and does not support better accountability, proxies can be limited to one per member to balance things out.

Jean-Robert because proxies are enshrined in the companies act and the act explicitly states that they cannot be removed irrespective of what a company’s bylaws / constitution says.
See fifth schedule section 6

Talking about Board Members election (1) and (2), why do we want to keep Proxies While we have Electronic voting ?
Proxies make sens when a member cannot attend the meeting in person, isn't what we wanted to solve with electronic voting?

The only time the Proxy Restrictions are enforced is for the Board
elections. Traditionally, the elections for the PDP Co-Chair is hands at
the meeting and the elections for the ASO-AC is by secret ballot by
those present.
Proxy restrictions apply to elections by the Members (Resource Members and Registered Members). ASO-AC and PDWG elections are by the community or by the PDWG, not by the Members. Board elections and now Governance Committee elections are by the Members.
