The IFLA Statutes provide that each Member may nominate another Member or the Chair to exercise proxy votes on the Member’s behalf at a General Assembly.
In August 2021, IFLA realizes that many Members will still be unable to attend the General Assembly in person and the Dutch Government’s 1.5 meter distancing rule will restrict the number of people able to gather indoors. IFLA’s Parliamentarian has advised that Members should be given the opportunity to nominate another Member who is expected to attend to exercise their votes, and that Members be given the opportunity to indicate how their votes should be assigned.
Members may do this by notifying the Secretary General of the appointment of a proxy holder in advance in writing or by electronic communication. Use this form to assign a proxy and indicate how you would like them to vote.
